Works much better with a manta. Granted it doesnt fly but it does move faster

Requires 2 people who know what to do.
Someone gets in the leviathan and sits there. Person 2 gets in a manta/raptor and parks it as close to the Leviathan as they can, they must remain PERFECTLY STILL. While they are there person 1 deploys the Leviathan into ion canon mode. It is now resting on the manta/raptor and moves whereever it goes.

Hopefully they fix it soon (or I find someone to do it with).

I remember reading somthing the creator of ONS-Icarus wrote about that, and it went something to the effect that the Levi was just there mainly for show and wasn't really supposed to move.

Hehe, that explains it. Someone should make a map with full of raptors with leviathans parked right next to them. That would be fun for a day or two.

Yeah, the "lone leviathans" are meant to be isolated...supposedly its for extra base protection, but I've never been in a game when they were used effectively (always getting destroyed all the time).
My friend and I use the raptor to shuttle the leviathan to hot spots around the map, especially in Severence and Red Planet. If one node comes under attack, drop the Levi' on 'em! The tactic gets me thinking..., maybe they should add a "Transport" aircraft, that has no offensive capabilities of its own, but can hold 4 people or carry a large vehicle by tow-rope, much the same way heavy-lift choppers carry Howitzers.

Tow rope...huge vehicle, I can see the abuse, just drag the huge vehicle on the ground. It's literally like drag netting fish except this is for kills/frags. =)
