Colin Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I wasn't planning on buying Convoy Mission. That is neat, but not for combat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Cool link! Yeah, this is part of the big budget FCS program. The ultimate goal is to have you AFV guys sitting in air conditioned comfy sofas with plasma TVs and DVDs of questionable moral value while your robotic counter parts drive around on their own. You're only job would be to explain why it was your vehicle that accidentally ran over the 12 orphans and the nun who was helping them cross the street. Of course, the fully stocked refrigerator of beer would had NOTHING to do with the errors in your course plotting, I'm sure Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixxkiller Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 LOL, only 12 orphans? I think there are more than that per sq foot in Iraq. -Ray 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Steve, Well between the flyboys retired due to UCAV's and us in comfy chairs, it looks like the only people "on the ground" will be the grunts and the journalists! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moronic Max Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 ...and then, someone will figure out how to jam the signals, and people will realize that remote piloting maybe isn't the way of the future after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Or you just blow up the manned leader vehicle and the rest of the convoy sits there immobile with all its goodies for the taking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletRat Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 ...or as always happens, said robot vehicles will become self aware and seek revenge on their lazy human masters relaxing in air conditioned comfort and sinking ice cold beers. No good shall come of this! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Yup, there's nothing we need more than the ability to send totally empty troop carriers out for a drive. Maybe the technology will enter the civilian market and we'll start to see totally empty city busses driving around as well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'm going to invest in comfy chairs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineCape Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'll invest in the alc. beverages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 WineCape, I would like to remind you that you already have. The fact that you have forgotten this rather significant fact clearly shows that you should maybe cut back on inventory depletion and give those little struggling braincells a rest Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineCape Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Sacrilege! A bottle of vino lasts 3-4 days between me and the missus. With food. Golden rule: don't use/abuse what you push. Sex, drugs, women, rock & roll and the % indicator on certain bottles => vices of mankind. You will always make decent money plying these trades. I should expand... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
