You'll have to forgive him, he's seeing from the CURB POV. He won't be kicked from the alpha team for this release of info because the release of the first CURB doc already stated that LOS will be turned on so his NDA isn't broken

No NDA worries for me, LoS has been implemented on TC for months and it really does make things more challenging, and fun.

Having said that, IF ballistic weapons were introduced, there'd be no problem getting an observer up front, or walking fire onto the target. Might be a bit of overkill for dealong with nuna lairs tho....

(Don't see it happening in the near future, don't really see Ranger having a role in it if it is introduced. Leave it to the combat specialists, we just molest critters in creative and unusual ways)

Fire mission - grid AB 123456 - direction 1234 mils- distance 200m Danger Close -at my command - HE VT and WP - target - Krayt Kreetle in the open--- fire one smoke

Shot over - shot out

Splash over - splash out

Left 50 m, add 50 m - Fire for effect

Gun bunny type pulls string makes boom (technical term for the artillery fires the cannon)

Krayt Kreetle goes kablooey (technical term for xp is awarded)

Mission complete, target down, good shooting Arty

Fixed

And do not tell me you would not enjoy that.

I don't know how you hunt, but that sure isn't how I hunt.

Meh! Arties for the Navy. We need CAP and airstrikes...

Meanwhile, back in the 'real' Galaxy, I'm all in favour of the addition of an Elmer Fudd style IED.

It consists of at least twelve crates of Acme C12, 6 crates of Imperial Detonators, and some red wire looted from NPC's. Additional stacks of any metal can be added, but be warned, this will create an AoE as shrapnel blasts out ffrom the IED and may cause neighbouring MoB to aggro.

In proper Acme style there is a 'random' chance of misfire resulting in your toon being left with its face on backwards and smoke rising from its eyebrows...

Just thought of another reason artillery wouldn't work in this game.

Everyone knows that stuff vanishes as you cross server boundaries. You'd have your battery set up near Bestine, get the trajectory all worked out to lay down a creeping barrage on AH and what'd happen?

Yup, sweet fiddly all.

Till about two weeks come Saturday when, out of the blue, whump whump whump...

Can we get a Vulcan to do AA on the rasps?

Lol, at first I was incredibly confused at this statement. Being the big Trekkie that I am, I thought you meant Vulcan as in the species (a la Mr. Spock for the uninitiated). It took me about five seconds to realize that you meant a Vulcan cannon.

I definately think that artillery would be a huge boon for the rebellion vs. AT-AT's that the devs in the chat said are coming into the game.

also, the E-Web fixed position weapon would be a great addition too
