Epic moment in an NC Galaxy and PS2 devs talk The Crown

[Wyld Karde]

First up, a Youtube clip of the single greatest kill ever;

Then an article from PC Gamer about The Crown, how it was developed and what may be coming next.  It's an interesting read.

Best kill ever!

Also, The Ascent and Raven Landing not being accessable via land vehicles? Challenge accepted. If I can drive a Vanguard from the road between the NC Arsenal and Ikanam up to the AuraxiCom Network Hub, I should be able to get one up to The Ascent or Raven Landing. Then I just need to find a sunderer trail!

Can be done. Currently uploading, though, so it may not function. It's raw, unedited footage.

Kudos for the sheer grit required to stick to that goal when even the terrain designers are against you.

Now do it with an entire armour column while the base is in enemy hands, and in a timely enough fashion to tip the scales of the siege.

Vanguards have shit performance. Lightnigs could likely do it better, and sunnderers too. Also, a lot of time was spent trying to find the route - once found, it's more timely to replicate

EDIT: at the 7 minute point, I was on the road between the two points. I spent a good 2-3 minutes trying at the other spot (which a lightning or sunderer may even be able to do) before fairly rapidly finding the other location.

Additionally, even just getting a sunderer that far up the hill would be fine, since obviously you can finish the hike on foot. If someone holds both stations, could make for an interesting armored surprise

It is INCREDIBLY easy to do in a Lightning. Just went and made a TR character since TR has and probably will own most of Amerish for the past few days, started from the Bastion, went just south of the bridge... in the video, there's a way up that I was having problems with in the Vanguard and had to find hte alternate route. Lightning just went over it real easy.
