OK, so I'm thinking of getting for a respec on my vehicle alt and turning her into an anti-vehicle specialist. Swarms are heavy weapons, right?

IronSaber posted:Veteran and Elite packs are live! Not only that, but they are incredibly crappy. Which is to say if you spent 10k isk you could get the equivalent suit and weapon from the market. Even an AFKer makes 100k to 150k isk per Skirmish. EDIT - and apparently they look just as dogshit as the rest of the dropsuits and weapons, so there's not even the small joy of strutting around in something cool and different.

Dropships DO need a HP buff, especially given that they don't really earn their pilots much in the way of WP or isk, and the other vehicles received a buff recently. For all you Elite pack nerds, I bought the Veteran pack and I'll bet your Dren stuff don't look half as cool as my blood red dropsuit and Saga :p

This makes me sad, cause I can no longer kill friendly dropships with a well placed car ram. That's what happens when you don't have a funky Blood Raider Saga LAV for your ramming activities

In time they will release a Dragonfly Logi suit and Dragonfly Heavy suit with the basic Mercenary pack, so there's no real reason to go for the Elite pack if you can wait. Logi suits are probably in for a nerf anyhow. The Dren AR is exactly the same as the Toxin and Exile AR's, so no point in that. A standard Swarm Launcher costs 1500 isk and is equal to the Swarm BPO so gently caress that. Shotguns are not that great, so you won't be using that Dren BPO. The Toxin SMG is the superior sidearm so you won't be using the Dren Scrambler Pistol BPO. The Ishukone LAV is exactly the same as the Blood Raider LAV stat-wise, so if you really wanted a LAV the Veteran pack would sort you out. In short, don't buy the Elite pack, cos the Veteran pack will be as much as you'll need if you're really keen on LAV's (I am cos they're hella fun).

The awoxing meta-game as it exists is actually quite silly and terribly  There absolutely should be a permissions system to enter a PC battle. You didn't pay for those clones, after all, so why should you get to make use of them if the people who paid for them don't want you to? It doesn't add up lore or logic-wise. Add this to a long line of laziness induced CCP gently caress-ups. quote:I have a couple of questions on dropsuits. The named ones you buy in the marketplace, do those just have better stats and more CPU / PG? I haven't dug through them much, but I imagine there are suits that have more CPU / PG over armor, vice versa, and everything in between? Yes, Militia dropsuits are the lowest tier and have passable CPU/PG. Then come Standard dropsuits with slightly more. Then Advanced, with a little more than that. And then Prototype, with the highest CPU/PG. There is a skill for hacking, but don't worry too much about it. Investing in weapon and dropsuit fitting skills should be the priority.

Dr. Glasscock posted:Wait, anyone can join those battles? So you can just join and then gently caress around which basically amounts to griefing? As I'm reading it, yes. And contrary to popular opinion, it's not meta-gaming, it's just exploiting something CCP was too lazy to code out.

Utgardaloki posted:I'm pretty sure you have be in one of the participating Corporations or an 'allied' one (i think there is such a system) to jump into a PC battle. If it's that then I have less issue with it, except that in EVE you can set different access permissions for different alliance members and the same should be the case with Dust. Corps don't have access to each others hangars or even stations unless someone consciously flicks a switch. My impression that anyone at all could just hop in was mistaken then, but the system still needs work.

Samahiel posted:You have to be a member of the corporation involved in the battle. The trick comes from that a squad leader pulls in his entire squad who could be from where ever. So if you're willing to burn an intelligence asset over the battle you can change a fight from 16v16 to 10v6v16. The intelligent solution is to do basic vetting of your membership, and have a holding corp. The holding corp attacks the district, or holds the district that is attacked. Alts in the holding corp then form squads and pull people into battle from the main corp. This means that unless the spy gets into the holding corp's membership, or there are multiple trusted spies, damage is limited. Ah, then that's cool if it's necessarily a corp member who has to pull the teamkilling squad in. You win the battle but burn a spy. Fair and justifiable trade-off.

Dr. Glasscock posted:Man I was doing awesome until last night, finally got placed against some decent players. Was getting my rear end handed to me for a bit. Wondering if Assault Rifle isn't my thing for this. Respecs aren't a thing, right? There's that one this Wednesday I read a few posts above, but other than that it's just make a new dude right? My thoughts are have a single infantry character that will eventually spec into lots of weapons and dropsuits, and a single vehicle character that will eventually spec into lots of vehicles. If there is a respec this Wednesday specifically it will (officially) be the last one ever.

Microphone business is pretty convoluted. Even if you've switched it on in Options, you'll still have to click on a channel to Activate Voice, and you may even have to forward the ports on your router as described here. Someone should probably put that in the OP.

sleeptalker posted:Does this work even when no one's actually in the vehicle? I've seen a few times where people seemingly just park and leave an LAV, and I'm wondering if it was just to have it act as a sort of stationary radar. The people parking their LAVs are probably doing it for some other reason. I personally wouldn't just out my LAV since it's Standard and therefore something I'd not risk some idiot commandeering by it being empty.

MrLonghair posted:I respecced to max repairtool, uplinks, nanohives and injectors, then I went like 2+ million deep into dropsuit upgrades. Not bad stats for the healing job in the end, despite not touching even an advanced suit. Even went and built a 9.11 sprint speed scout while at it, militia 5% stacks with normal 5%/etc speed boosters. How many sp do you have? I was thinking of maxing out the three skills that directly increase CPU and PG, but I think I may have to skip level 5 in the Electronics skill because it might eat up too much of my 6.5 million sp

Ok, so yesterday I respecced my vehicle alt and this evening I respec my main. I've been thinking about our need for Heavy's and our over-reliance on Assaults. Someone convince me that a loner, run-around type such as myself would actually prefer a slowpoke with a short-range HMG. At the end of the day all I truly care about is killing lots of mans and seeing my name up topside at the end of the match. Will Heavy get me there more often than an Assault with an AR? I guess my greatest fear is being continuously outmatched/ranged/flanked by Duvolle toting Assaults.

Highs are damage mods.

After the respec I've actually been pretty straight in sticking to a smart plan. I maxed out fitting skills, went pretty high in AR, and now I'm working on survivability skills. Not a single point in dropsuits and I intend to keep it that way until the survivability skills are done.

DeathSandwich posted:I'm in game as DeathSandwich Lowfat, I'll apply to GoonFeet before too long. The dropsuit and sniper rifle are BPOs. The shotgun stuff is copies and will run out. You also get a jeep BPO, which is much better than the newbie jeep. Elite pack is way overrated, I wouldn't recommend it. Veteran pack is as high as I would go (and I have gone). The suit and jeep are also a funky blood red colour whereas the Elite pack stuff makes you look like an overripe banana.

Activity seems to be dying down during the week despite our recent found successes in PC battles. Are there days of activity that I don't know about? Right now it seems pretty hit or miss. Yeah, it was eerily quiet last night. I haven't seen so few online since the whole II thing blew up. Hopefully it's just down to everyone having capped out over the weekend and not a general apathy about the game in its current state - although I couldn't blame anyone if they had become jaded enough that they couldn't bare to log on anymore.

Was gonna play last night, but then I remembered you could get a 1 month free trial to PS+ by doing a few silly quests in the PS Home E3 booth. Noticed a guy in there running around in a Dust dropsuit, which led me to the Event Horizon lounge. A few folks in there, but otherwise very quiet. I think playing Slay for the LAV bpc's still works so I'll try that sometime. I think I'm done with capping two characters per week. Too much effort, even when AFK-ing. From now on I'm focusing on my main alone.
