I'm thinking about getting the reaver, anyone know the time you have to wait before buying another one (you buy one... wait x amount of minutes, then you can buy another)? Also, I'm curious about the times on other vehicles.

Another thing, what about the availability of a vehicle like a reaver. Can you buy one at most bases? If not, which ones can you buy them at?

(Yeah n00b questions, but I've never had a vehicle cert before lol)

I believe you can only buy a reaver if you are at a tech planet or a base thats linked to one. NOt sure on how long the wait tiem i though.

im not sure of the exact time, and i can get reavers anywhere as long as the base is owned. You cant get the reaver on a hacked base or a base thats not your empires. All I know is that if i get a reaver and die like right after i get it(go out of the base, then get blown up 15 sec later) and then spawn, then walk all the way to the veh term, i gotta wait between 2-2 minutes and 30 seconds, so id imagine it is around 3-3 minutes and 30 seconds, maybe more.

u can get a reaver at a tech plant or any bases linked to a tech plant. i thought u had to wait 5 mion before u can spawn another vehicle.

Ok, 5 minutes isn't bad at all... I was afraid it would be like 30 minutes or something.

No that's just for a certain vechicle. I fly a reaver and drive a maurader and whenever I die on one of them early enough that i have to wait 5 minutes I can get the maurader while I'm waiting. And if you can at least drive one vechcile you can drive an ant and you can get that if your in a hurry... you can always run people over with the ant :hitit: :rofl:

1) you can only buy a reaver if you're empire owns a tech plant on the continent.

2) you cannot buy a reaver from a HACKED base of another empire, even if you have tech plants.

3) you cannot buy a reaver from a neutral base, even if you own tech plants.

you can hack unfriendly bases to get your Reaver, you'll just need the Adv hack cert. If you do not have it, then call for one. :brow:

It's fairly random about whether or not you can get advanced vehicles with or without a tech plant.

Don't have a tech plant but want that reaver? Relog a couple times and eventually you'll get as many reavers as you want.
