Will we have the option to pilot the aerial craft like LAMs or the aerospace or conventional fighters in this game? I think they'd bring a really interesting dynamic. Who doesn't love six degrees of freedom?

Edit: Okay, no LAMs. But I couldn't find a reference to whether or not the fighters will be pilotable.

I think the game you're looking for is Robotech.

Developers working on a tight schedule, I'd imagine.

Actually, I don't like robotech, there are too many bipedal robots interfering with the hot plane action.

Seriously? Everybody here is a hard-charging ground-pounder? Nobody wants to set their hair and the sky on fire with the sheer awesomeness of being a fighter pilot?

I see your dezgra and raise you a "rifle." http://en.wikipedia....ki/Brevity_code

Do you know what dezgra is, quineg?

Yes, most of us are ground pounders... If you want to fly Aerospace go play MechLivingLegends.net It is combined arms.

and lore wise, Clans find LAMs dezgra due to the blur the line between ASF pilot and MechWarrior, plus... it is LAMs.

[Nightwitch]

That's actually a really good idea. I had no idea there was a good scifi-based flight sim type thing going on. I'll have to check that out.

As to the LAMs, I could definitely take them or leave them. The aerospace and VTOL stuff? Not so much.

No... no and no. Just no.

From the FAQ:

Q. Will there be vehicular combat alongside Mechs for the players this time?

A. At the moment we are not following up with combined arms (tanks, hovercraft, jets etc.)
