Smack, I know its fun but is it worth the cost at the moment. Also with working evenings, I can only play after noons or way early mornings. Have they brought back the experience points from the VR yet? Thinking about it, I did say I would try to get a character ready for the new vehicles.

Yeah you get XP in the VR areas now....as well as for the first-time use of several other things that you run across in the game world. (terminals, etc.)

I've been playing pay-to-play MMO's for a few years now so my opinion may be a tad biased, but I think Planetside is worth it. You pay a premium to play an ever-evolving game. Yes, they string you along by adding all that new content in periodic updates, but overall you end up with a larger, more feature-rich game than comperable non-pay-to-play games.

"The Advanced Hacking being the only cert that can hack Equipment Terminals and Vehicle terminals will cause me to toss aside my hacking cert."

I going to do a wait and see on this one....I think this one might be as needed skill as repair/combat engineer especially combined with 1)five minute tower hack timer(especially breaking into a locked continient. 2)needing a direct link to a vehicle station in order to spawn a magrider from a more remote base. 3)base defenders being able to respawn even though the base has been hacked.

I was talking with some guys I play with and we kind agree that with towers haveing power limmits now its going to be damn rare to see one that ever has any power. Towers trade hands so often and get the hell used out of them, and with no exp to cap or hold it then AMS will be the way to go.

Also has anyone noticed that the pop cap per island is off? Amerish was locked most of last night but we never saw half our VS people. We were lucky to see 50 in 3 hours there, I think they messed up and set it to total and not total per faction.

I think the towers will have smaller silos and slower drain then the facilities. The towers provide a easily defendable location to spawn in, and also a height advantage when firing on enemy units. The towers will still be needed to defend bases and help prevent the enemy from getting to a base. We don't want to be stuck to a base when under siege, and spawning back at the santuary most often is too far to come from to get behind the enemy.

question, if you could drop a lightning from a galaxy (or vanguard from lodestar?) onto the pad on top of a tower, wouldn't it be fun to long range bombard directly only the main base? sure you could only do that with the towers that are really close to bases, but it does sound fun.

But if you can't flip flop hack a facility. Meaning you can't hack the next base connected to the lattice if your current base that links you has a hack on it, there should be some HUGE battles for fronts now. With a XP cap of max 5,000 points what would be the point though. Just kill your required 30 people and still move on. Valid tactics would still be making a base go neutral, so oh well on that idea. I hate doing majical bases all night though.

What they need to do is have a way to use different strategies. Asymmetric warfare rarely gets used by anyone other than TR... Preclusive defense is laughable due to the dropships... And the whole idea of total war? Doesn't happen because you can't really implement a "scorched-earth" strategy...


What we need is deformable terrain, and buildings that take damage. Those would make things interesting...

What we need to do more is hold TR off as long as we can like we did last night. Nothing more fun that playing defense in a base, jumping on the walls and slaughtering all that oppose our way of life. Damn bring them to us, we serve them up a nice big helping of death with a side of humility on their way to being worm food.

I say we send out hunting parties wail defending a base to catch the enemy AMS's wail they are in transit, then destroy them. With no AMS then they can't spawn close enough to Zerg us quickly. We have to have scouts looking for the enemy and follow them till the right equipment gets there to take care of the threat.

It jsut means that we need to get more people up in the air in Mosquitos running the scaners to find them, and/or hook up people that are jsut scouts with the hearing implants so we can get a better picture of locations on our mini-maps.

They need to make ANT's more better, or have an air ANT or something.

Ya know something funny as shit, 3 lancer shots blow an ANT to pieces. I killed two of those TR ANTs trying to fill up that base one time. Damn funny.

There is an air ANT of sorts. ANTs fit in galaxies and can hot drop next to the silo

When they open up Naval combat, they will probably add floating bases out in the ocean (Not hovering bases, but bases that float on the surface of the water and are anchered to the sea floor) and they will need to have an ANT boat that can hold more than what the current one holds and can move faster, but lower handling.
