If I remember correctly all of my characters were booted from the group so I will have to find someone to let me back in.

What are some things I should be aware of before playing Friday night? I haven't really played in 2 years. How are the certs organized? Are there vehicles that require medals before you can get them?

I remember when I first played I had lag in any major battle and my system had a hard time keeping up with somethings. But now my system is much better and since I am in a dormatory I am connected through a T3 line so I should be able to handle the largest battles.

Hmmm..things to watch out for... I know ...Watch out for the switchblade swarm!!...Seems all empires now get that V-mod then roll out buttloads of switchblade hell.. I can only compare it to a wolf pack hunting a Moose..The swarm chases the poor Moose(Insert Main battle tank here) Corners it..or better yet, forces it into a tree..and then eats it

Only vehicles that require a merit to use is the Vulture, a Liberator variant very much in the style of the A-10 Warthog (or Lightning II, depending on who you ask) and the Flight Variant BFR, which is so fragile and weak against anything not a vehicle anymore that it's questionable about pulling one unless you are fighting a lot of single infantry.

Only weapon that "requires" a merit is the Heavy Scout Rifle, it's a sniper-ish rifle (uses bolt ammo) but has a ten round clip, faster fire rate, but weaker per shot damage (about 4-5 hits to kill a Rexo vs. 2-3). Longer you fire it, the more wildly inaccurate it gets. If you've ever played a WWII game with the FG42, it's a similar concept. Accurate long-range with a bit more automatic fire to it. You need the 2-year merit to use it, unless you have sniping.

The certs have been redone into more of a tree format where A leads to B. For example, Armored Assault I (2 certs) gives you the Lightning. Armored Assault II (1 cert, requires AA1) gives you the empire MBT. That paves the way to the BFR cert (after imprinting in the core) and the specialty weapons beyond that.

Little changes on their own, but it really does make it a different battlefield.

Here are the stats of my character as of when I stopped playing:

NutzholzWolf
CR: 2 BR: 17
Certs: Standard Exo-suit
Standard Assault
Agile Exo-suit
Medium Assault
Reinforced Exo-suit
Air Support
Engineering
Combat Engineering
Light Scout
Anti-Vehicular


NutzholzWolfsecond
CR: 0 BR: 16
Certs: Standard Exo-suit
Standard Assault
Agile Exo-suit
Air Cavalry
Engineering
Uni-MAX
Medium Assault
Special Assault
Ground Transport


What certs would I need to have the same equaipment available to me? I had also written down possible re-cert ideas that would make my first character pure ground combat with the AA1 and AA2, ATV, and at the time I thought about BFR but now having second thoughts. Also my re-cert idea for my second character would make him pure air combat with uni-MAX, Air Cavalry, and Air Support.

Don't bother with a BFR, it's a waste of 4 certs

About the BFR...I recently got my self a new top of the line system. I thought I would try out the BFR driveing again to see how it plays on the new system. Well to my utter excitement..IT WAS FUN! Not only do the AI lazers work again Ours are not a P.O.S. like I had thought in the past.
BFR's are like rotting meat festering in the sun..It attracts the flys real fast so it's best to run around with friendly softies to keep the flys off ya. If u watch your shield and retreat to saftey to let the shield recharge then go back in, it's not to bad at all. If you find your self alone thinking your gonna kill whore though...your dead..plain and simple. So ....BFR's with support will break up a armor advance real fast. To tell ya the truth I realy think you have to have a fairly decent system to even drive them..I notice my frames go down a bit when I'm in mine. Want a thrill ride though? Come jump in mine when u get back in game..just hope u can shoot, cowboy! -).
