I was also wondering if the infil suit is going to have a second holster for the NC pistol. Is this true?

Only one pistol sized holster.

What you can do is this:
1. Use a pistol and manually switch to REK when its time to Hack.
2. Follow SmokeJumper's example and use ACE's.
3. Use grenades as your main weapon. You can fit in 9 of 'em.

I am going to be a knife/melee boosted hacker/commander, but can I use a pistol too? I wish I could see how big my inventory is.

ACEs are for engineers and engineering mght come later, but I will be busy with commanding and staying alive during the hack.

Anyone happen to know how many spaces the knife takes up? I assume a 1x2, but maybe a 1x3 are there any screens of a knife in an inventory?

Knives don't take up anything. They're an automatic part of every single piece of armor. You can't pick them up or drop them or put something else in its place.

I really don't see a use for advanced targeting, i mean your going to kill them anyways, But i'd Put in that Radar implant so you know when there is a guy runing around the corner or something

Well, it allows you to vheck health, anems to take out certain people and it makes it easier to tell the enemy from others.

Hmmm... I'd like to try.

Infil suit

Vanu Knife
Beamer (not taken if need Inv space)
REK
2 Plasma gren
2 Jammer gren
1 Minesweeper
1-2 ACE (room & certs permitting)

Certs:
Standard Armor & Weapons (freebies)
Infil Armor
Hacking
Adv Hacking
Wraith
'skeeter

Implants:
Audio Amplifier
Silent Run
Range Mag or Adv Targeting

This will probably change when the game is released and I've had a chance to try various stuff and see how it works in the game world.

Implants:
Audio Amplifier
Silent Run
Range Mag or Adv Targeting

2 problems with this: First off no melee booster and second there is no need for range mag because you are going to be indoors most the time. Adv Targeting in the better choice because if a big vanu max walks into a room you don't want to hit him unless he is down on life, because a melee boosted secondary attack prolly wont kill a vanu max, even if it is in the back of the head. It would just piss him off. So adv targeting would come in handy if you saw a MAX that was previously damaged and you might be able to kill him in one or two hits.

umm every person outside a MAX should have a hacking kit with them. Perhaps you should combine a "hackers" duty with another duty and go from there.

You are gonna be loud, you need silent run or else you will show up on radar when you move.

MAX's cant use haking tools.. or anny tools for that matter so don't worry bout hacking MAX's or MAX medics etc.

advanced targeting would work well with sniping and recon
