I watched this video. But didn't we agree to not look for vehicle and gear info outside the game? Yes, but this doesn't apply to upcoming or just-released content, and this just released. I want to be able to keep up with all the latest SC news and get hyped about them, and ships/vehicles/gear is 50% of the new stuff coming into the game. So bear that in mind when you read my reporting. That said, I won't go to the RSI site and copy-paste the specs here etc. I'll only do that when we find the store in the game that sells this. This is just a news update to get excited about a new vehicle being dropped into the game.
So this is an anti-air vehicle. You park it, and the gunner in the back starts shooting down everything that flies overhead (the driver also has a gun he can use, but the gunner has four, and they're also larger). And THAT'S how you hold your ground in Jumptown, as the YouTuber says several times. The event is not for "1st-level" dudes with no gear. If we had this monster, we would have been able to secure a little beachhead for ourselves, and make raids from there. Otherwise any passing ship will shoot down whatever you land on the ground. But note that there are only a few cargo ships that can carry this thing, so you're talking millions of credits for that ship and the Centurion. There simply wasn't enough time for us to buy all this unless we were focused on it daily since we got into the game. And even then it would have been tight, I think.
So I don't know what to do for this Saturday. I desperately want to try Jumptown again, but now that I know what it requires, it's discouraging. We'll end up spending all day accomplishing nothing again. But at least now we know what we have to do.
