Your main Planetside Charaectar? (January 2004)

[Biohazzard56]

This fourm is a new monthly thread i had an idea for which is to post a brief discription of your main Planetside charaectar (the one you work on the most). And a list of certs and what weapon/vehicle you use most in that certification

Biohazzard56 (New Conglomerate, Markov Server)
Battle Rank: 17 (almost 18)
Command Rank: 3 (almost 4, bio is going to get an OS RUN!)
-Medium Assault, Gauss Rifle (pure accurate 30 round bliss)
-Sniping, Bolt Driver (cause sniping is fun, easy kills from the people who just stand there after your first shot
-Uni-Max, ScatterMAX (Better than the Jackhammer)
-Air Cavalry, Reaver (There is nothing they can do about it)
-Engineering (Repairing my reaver, helping others stay in the fight, especially those vanguards everyone loves )

[Jagd]

Nice thread bio!

Jagd (Markov, Terran Republic)
Battle Rank: 19.3
Command Rank: 2.8
Combat Pilot / Special Operations
- Medium Assault (I use a cycler probably 90% of the time, but switch it out for a sweeper if I am stuck in a zerged base and know I won't be making it outside anytime soon)
- Special Assault (I always have 2 decimators in the backpack of my agile armor to take out those pesky MAXes, and have a favourite loaded out a thumper and a couple dozen jammer 'nades for when I have to clear an area of deployables)
- Advanced Hacking (being a pilot means having perpetual supply problems, so advanced hacking helps me get those air towers under control as fast as possible. it also lets me sneak into an enemy base, hack the vehicle terminal and burn outta there like a bat out of hell in a skeeter that doesn't set off the turrets)
- Air Cavalry & Support (well flying is my favourite part of this and every combined arms type of game I play so I just wouldn't feel right not being able to pick the right aircraft for every situation. it's impossible to know for sure, but I probably racked up at least half of my kills in a Reaver)
- Ground Transport (I'm trying to get my command rank up and nothing spoils a squad leader's fun as much as being unable to get his troops to the front in one piece)
- Armored Assault (this is just for the flail which I use from time to time when enemy AA is out of hand making it impossible to fly around without getting missile locked)

Once I hit BR20, I'm ditching Armored Assault and getting my infiltration suit and AMS back. I use the flail so very rarely it makes sense, although I'm sure as soon as I have no more room for the cert suddenly the caves will get busy and I'll be wishing I still had it.

BR: 19
CR: almost 3
Medium: Guass for everything, but when going into zergy fight
Sniping: Only two loses in a sniper duel in the past 2 months
AV: Good for pesky maxes when on foot at range
Light Scout: Lighting for the times when i can't get my beloved:
Air Cav: Reaver is my baby; skeeters, libs, reavers, and things that don't shoot flack (Starfire included) = dead
Basic Engineering: for Repairing stuff

at br20 I may pick up Combat eng, but its hard to say.

This character is capable of going anyware qukc thanks to 2 vech cers and deal out damage with them at the same time, keep a standard loadout of Agile: Guass, 2 boxed of ammo, CUD, BANK, Glue gun + 2 glue bottles, and 3 medkits, i use that for any time not in zerg.

When in a zerg i go reinforece with gauss, and a BD or Pheonix

I always have 3 medkits unless i'm sniping, then i have two

VS Markov Server
BR 20
CR 0 (I'm too busy setting up ambushes and defending to lead)
CE- Because I do lots of defensive work solo. I enjoy trying to hold what we've taken and without me a lot of VS assaults would have failed due to back hacks or dead generators at important facilities. This is by far the single most imprtant Cert for someone who wants to play defense. Deploy everything you can and replace it as quick as it gets destroyed. Spitefires, mines and motion sensors make you 3 times as powerful IMO.
Starfire MAX- Most ghost hackers and gen killers use aircraft to strike quick. A Starfire puts a quick end to that nonsense.
Quasar MAX- I don't use this one as much, but it is useful for chewing up multiple enemy infantry sometimes. Usually the Thumper with plasma is just as good. Especially when you already have the Interlink benefit and know where they are.
Light Scout- The Lightning is great for quickly roaming around a base and catching people trying to sneak in. It also allows me to terrorize and keep small squads holed up in the nearby tower if they take that.
Ground Support- I always keep an AMS hidden and deployed nearby so if the spawn room gets camped I have somewhere else to spawn. If I have to grab a Lightning while my AMS is deployed, then I keep track of time and try to make sure I at least get back in the AMSs driver seat before the 15 minute timer is up. This way I can keep a deployed AMS and Lightning going at the same time.
Special Assault- Thumper with plasma for infantry and the Decimator for MAX units and vehicles
Medical- You can guess why

I only use Agile armor. Being solo on defense I need to be as fast and as mobile as possible so I can outflank or attack people in the rear.

Darklight implant for cloakers and Surge for quickly outflanking or attacking from behind. I also use Advanced Regeneration for when I'm in a MAX suit. VS MAXs take a lot of falling damage and you never have enough health kits.

Most defensive fights are small scale one on one or occasionally 3-4 man squads looking for an easy take. 1-2 enemies at a time are a piece of cake. 3-4 are doable as longs as they have poor communication and team work. Otherwise a teammate is nice to have around.

When I do join the assault I hold towers, provide AA support and try and keep an AMS in the area.

[Vis Armata]

My sig has my main character's stats. I used to play cloaker, but I've been getting better with Agile setups, so I dropped that. I'm looking forward to the Rexo buff, so I'm slowly recerting him for heavier infantry roles.

edit: the ATV has to go.

Air Cavalry (aircraft ... just fun and effective)
Scattercannon MAX (AA MAX is bugged and was pissing me off so i picked up AI till targeting is fixed)
Medical (recently picked up, was tired of relying on medkits and always useful to help out your buds with heals)

CERTS

Medium Assault
Well, what can I say, it opens up all other infantry weapons, and the Pulsar is pretty good outdoors. Has started using the sweeper indoors aswell.

Sniping
Sniping is fun! Always loved it in games, and PlanetSide does it well. Getting pretty good at it too.

Special Assault
The Thumper is starting to become my best friend in an indoors onslaught. Plasma nades are good enemy softeners (and grief gainers if unlucky/clumsy).
And I have some Fav-combos with the Decimator.

Reinforced ExoSuit
Well, any lack of speed is totally made up by the 2 rifle slots. I absolutely need them.

Medical
I heal myself 90% time. When I try to heal you, please stand still dammit!!

Armored Assault
I love the Magrider, absolutely. Hard to find a gunner though... Even in my own squad (which are the only type of gunner I really want...).

Advanced Medical
Recently got this as I turned 16 :P
Havn't used it yet, but I actually have btw, I've had this cert once before, and then I revived ONE individual

CERTS:
______

Air Cav
Tank
Buggy: always use the Skyguard, never enforcer
Adv Medical
Engy
Medium assault
Spec Assault

my main load out is a agile suit, a guass rifle, 100 rounds of ammo, 1 decimator, a medical thing, a engy armor gun, and some ammo for the support guns. and i have my inventory key set to `~ button, that way, i can get a deci out in a second and own a max, and switch back for the softies, mostly i enjoy driving my vehicals.

[Eldanesh]

Eldanesh (Emerald NC)
BR 20/ CR 4

MA/HA- All I really use from these are the jackhammer, the MCG, and the cycler. (I love t3h MCG) If if drop HA, I will prolly use mainly the sweeper.

SA- I really only have SA for the decis, the thumper is occasionally used, but only in a total tower zerg.

Adv hack/Engy/Med-engy/med keep me going and allow a large advantage when soloing. Adv hack I have had ever since I was an infiltrator and just cant drop it- its that useful.

Lib/lode/gal- Used to be just the skeedo, but I decided that it was just too kill-whory to be running around with no real support certs. Now I get to deal with the many frustrations of being a gal pilot, such as backseat drivers and a hitbox so large it generates its own gravitional field, pulling enemy flail shots into it.
Also its fun to be the 1-man lib air whore with a trunk choc-full of 35mm blowing up tanks, and a ton of armor perfect for running over reavers, infantry, spitfires, mines, wall turrets, atvs, aa maxs, ai maxs, av maxs, and the occasional skeedo.

When they buff the rexo I will probably get Rexo, dropping HA and lib to get enforcer.

mRaL - Emerald
BR 13, CR 2

Med. assault - Obviously need it. Don't use sweeper or pulser though
HA - Fun fun fun
SA - Hate thumper, rather have a lasher than thumper...only use, IMO is decimator, and which is why most of my favs have one in it.
Rexo - I guess I'll keep it just until the patch comes out. Otherwise, I'd of ditched it. Way too slow, and the armor doesn't make up for the loss of speed.
CE - Got it to repair myself, kept it for the turrets.

Hard time finding a gunner?!?! I see people line up besides vehi terminals just to gun for one...me included.
