To Ronin. Firstly yay, you enjoy tribes. This makes us brothers. For reals. Zhar, Laurel and Haven too whether you like it or not. Spicey as well i guess if he plays... but its hard to get excited about that. ;)

Secondly: Shazbot! Why do you play now when i'm in Aus with terrible lag!

I've been trying to avoid betas so they don't spoil my impression of the released game. That said, they've given this a 1.0 release version but it's still undergoing a bunch of tweaks and I notice a lack of the transport aircraft and that sort of thing from T2 (is that even going to be included?).

I'll be up for games when you get back, of course. :)

I dont know really what they plan in terms of vehicles but I cant see them adding any more. It might be nice I guess to add more teamwork mechanics but I think it performs fine without their inclusion.

Other than riding on the back of a cycle we might be out of luck.

Actually, I don't have a source on this. But they are adding a new vehicle. It is in fact going to be a transport vehicle. I'm not sure if it was flying or just a hovercraft. I'll do some searching for the picture.

The HAVOC is a vehicle that is currently unused, but exists in the game files, and appears in the Tribes Ascend Trailer. It previously appeared in Tribes 2.
It appears to be able to carry 4 passengers and a pilot, however it is unclear if there is a spot for a tail gunner like its Tribes 2 counterpart.

Heads up that Tribes + NVIDIA 295.51 is screwed and fails to run despite repeated re-installs. I've read that later drivers are ok.

I'm having no (major) issues with 295.73 for reference, aside from the occasional lag spike that I think is server related.

So the passengers sit at the front of the vehicle... just on the front... like hood ornaments.

Operation human shiled anyone?

Been playing this a bit in the last couple of weeks. You can find me in-game as thehaven

Enjoying it enough that I've plonked down some money so I'll be playing it a decent amount for at least another month. I'd like to organise an evening for it sometime soon, can't this week but keep an eye on the calendar and I'll see if I can sort a wednesday or friday night session and pull a few folks in to give it a go.

Any chance of putting this event on an evening that's not the release of Prometheus? The prior or following Friday, for example?

Moved it forward to this coming Friday. Hopefully that works for folks. Holler if not.
