Inportant, Cert prorblems and BFRs

[Sabinius]

I just saw a thread "Here (http://planetside-universe.com/ps/track_psdevs.php?post=2586) " on the cert points and yeah,
I did notice that they are odd
all the infantry stuff costs alot like 14 as he said but
you can get a bfr quite easiily, besides the cave captures.
And werent they supposed to be hard to get?
Shouldnt the BFR pads only be in like a dropship center
not every center
and shouldnt you need a technology plant to get one?
I once saw a broadcast at sanctuary from a bfr pilot
"How do I get bfr guns for my bfr?"
How do these complete n00bs get their hands on bfrs??
SIMPLE just wander around in major cave battles and stay behind
for the capture.
Didnt the devs say they would be really hard to get?
Once the mayhem event was over, they were EVERYWHERE like a normal vehicle!
the bfr shouldnt be cheaper than infantry certs
they need some major rethinking

BFR Acquisition is having an overhaul. As indicated here (http://psforums.station.sony.com/ps/board/message?board.id=indevelopment&message.id=3369).

We are also looking at how BFRs are acquired and planning to implement a change to cavern capture to further focus on fighting and also re-evaluate the difficulty of acquiring the Advanced BFR merit.

Disclaimer : I am not a BFR supporter, just playing devils advocate.

Actually, the number of certs to make someone basic infantry is only 5. Rexo/MA would be your standard infantry trooper for any empire. So, if you are comparing costs, it is less to be a basic trooper than a basic bfr pilot.
