Mobile suits in Elite :D

[Shhhk]

I know this will Never happen, I know it. But wouldn't it be AMAZING to have freaking gundams in the game??? And now with the carriers it would be even better!! ditch those boring SRV's down the cliff and hop-in the jaw-dropping gundam combat experience! Also, the suits could be printed like the fighters we currently have in game, and I think exploring the ruins of ancient civilizations would also benefit from it.

What do you think? Do we need Mobile Suit Gundams in the game or better SRV's would do the trick?

I have no idea what a mobile suite gundam is.

I have no idea what a mobile suite gundam is.

I had to google it, a gundam is basically a robot somewhere between a mech, and a transformer; exceedingly unlikely to make it into elite atall, and if it were to make an appearance it could not happen without space legs coming first, so @Shhhk - dont hold your breath :-(

It would be cool to have mechs. In subnautinca there is already something like that and is very cool.

 

[Bigmaec]

No please. If you want mechs go play Battletech
(nothing wrong with mechs or Battletech, but Elite is a space flight simulator...)

so SRV should be removed too because Elite is not a car game?

If you do not wish to eventually use additional features like SRV or Mech, just do not use. But give the opportunity to other players so try new things.

I would much rather have more stuff to find than more ways to not find stuff.

One does not exclude the other... but actually If I have to choose, I'll agree with you.

Believe me, I use the SRV only to gather raw materials at the crystalline shards sites. For me they could all go up in flames.

I'd rather have FD spent time refining, balancing and overall make better the space flight aspects of the game.

Although I have to admit I'd would somewhat like a VF-1 Valkyrie with all pack-hounds for the right Macross Missile Massacre feeling.

So Bandai should buy Frontier? Maybe not a bad idea.

Why not Activision?

 

[Commander Biscuit]

Elite must legs before it can suit.

 

[GroG79]

They do not own Gundam/mobile suits

 

[Vanquish383]

They do not own Gundam/mobile suits

But they own mech

I agree in principal, but thinking in terms of development assets being a limited (very limited) resource I would submit that they are mutually exclusive.

Mecha would be very cool. They can't use Gundam unless they have permission from the animation studio Now Sunrise.

Evochron Legacy has mechs and stomping around a planet in those things is AWESOME. I would pay many Earth monies for a Cutter that did THIS:

I had to google it, a gundam is basically

I owe you one. I foolishly googled hentai after seeing it on a forum somewhere long ago, and have been a bit gun shy since.
