I have a couple of questions regarding ps, and no i don't have it yet, but planing to buy it very soon. My first question is how long does the cloak stay on for when you are an infiltrator?!? DO you have to load when going through warp gates, and does the game run well when your computer is minimum requirements and you have a cable modem. If anybody answers these questions i will be glad, thanks

1. Cloak lasts forever, but moving fast and firing weapons makes you blur.
2. Yes you do.
3. It should run OK, but stay away from heavy action or you'll get some bad lag. I run on minimum specs with a 28k, and get lag mostly in big battles or when PS decides to be a bitch.

1) Cloak lasts forever

2) You have to load the continent you are warping to, yes.

3) It should play OK, but having better than minimum is recommended by many.

and now that i have thought about it is the vanu a pretty good team or should i choose the tr or nc?!?!?

and is the markov server allright, or should i go to Emerald?

I'd choose what empire to play on your own. Trust me, it will go a long way.

As for servers, play on the one closest to you. If you live closer to the west coast, play on markov or konreid. If you live closer to the east coast, play on Emerald.

I prefer Markov, because I almost never see more than 2000 people on at any time, which cuts down lag. On Emerald, I've seen 4500 on once, and even when only 3000 are on, it still lags a lot. I think that
Emerald-Best TR
Markov-Best NC
I don't know where the good Vanu outfits are.
