Hi, I realize this is probably against forum rules but over the last year its cropped up on the forums that some of the people working on carrier command were battlezone fans. Well apparently there's a bunch of people, loyal fans{Platoon Studios} doing a remake and have a kick starter page, alpha and a forum. Thought you guys would like to know. Would be dreamy if Bohemia could finish what they started, id be in heaven. http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/807779870 http://forum.bz3genesis.com/bz3/index.php?board=8.0 2 of my fav games being remade, so happy

So to kill time i have striped a walrus of all weapons and armour and gone cruising around my islands. with turbo it can get good air over jumps ect. a bita fun while u wait for resources and production. just an idea and u get to see the islands in detail. also noticed traction difrences on all the diffrent surfaces.

Something else i noticed, if you get a manta or walrus closeish but low the nme carrier cant hit them as the gun depresion is to low. So 1 walrus can disable all of its guns, maybe 2 runs with a manta... just have to deal with there forces first.

i did relize this was a beta when I sighned up for it... I do hope they give us some patches for more islands tho, i have a fully equiped manta and walrus fleet and haveing a ball. if you get good at aiming with the heat round gun its 1 shot kills for the win. missiles work a treat 2 but the walrus missil launcher is mainly for hiting air i think as it aims up slightly.

I have seen droids on one of my islands, a defensive island. so yeah there are infantry around. I do think haveing to transport a team of humans into the comand centre to capture is out of the remake area and into adding to the game. theres a heli pad on the back of the carrier and the bases all have doorways ect so ill be betting it will either be in the game or a modded in part of the game using existing ai and graphics. its worth the $20 to have a look even if you dont like the unit count or no infantry.

Yeah its definitly a nice remake, the defensive islands could have a landing bay like the original for mantas.. small point with the ai pathfinding it would help if they implemented formations so you tell a group of walrus to go down the road they move as a unit. and couldnt they just buy pathfinding code of somewhere. would it be expensive? battlezone 2 and carrier command are some of my fav games oh warzone 2100!!

Ok so you want to see the game and all the fancy weapons but the carrier attacks you straight away and ruins all of it yeah? ok so here how to solve this little problem set armour on the carrier to max repair speed, sail up and attack the nme carrier with all walruses and mantas in dock then launch them after the carrier is tanking then withdraw them when the nme carrier stops shooting and let it sail away. its worked for me, also I try and have the carrier strentgh at 0 on the slider bar.. the original had heaps more islands and you couldnt sail from 1 side of the map to the other on one tank that i remeber. The ai is brutal lol.
