Question about certs and the NC

[Tobias]

Wait, rage, their pickup truck style buggy did not help win you over?

[RageMaster]

Nah, I always wanted the quad which is common-pool. But a vehicle that cool had to be designed by the TR, Im sure the other factions just stole the plans, or reversed engineered it as soon as they first saw it.

And you can forget the sex and the dental plan, when *EDIT* we win the war, and WE WILL *EDIT* all the TR get knighthoods, castles and huge plots of land.

Then we'd force the NC to farm the land for vegetables to go on the Vanuburger�, which would go on to become a rare delicacy. Kind of like caviar.

I know we get four characters, but I wanted to know what the cert max could possibly be. And I still don't see the NS as anarchists, their goal doesn't meet any of the definitions provided by dictionary.com for anarchy:

20 certs, and I only call them anarchists to stir up debate.

[Shyfted One]

Isn't 20 certs a little excessive? I mean, I can make a pretty good character for only 7.

Medium Assualt
Heavy Assualt
Enforcer
Reinforced Armor
Medical
Hacking
Advanced Hacking

That would get me pretty much everything I'd need.

[Hamma]

..

20 battle rank does not = 20 certs

[Camping Carl]

It doesn't?

[SandTrout]

I think they mentioned something about 1/3 or 2/3s of the credits available if you went with an evenly spread character.

NC are not socialists. We are for individual freedom, not "equality". More of a Darwinistic aproach than the Vanu, but not totaly anarchist.

[Camping Carl]

I thought I heard somewhere that it was 20 possible out of 60-ish total certs.

[Shyfted One]

I hope 1/3 (9) so you can still be effective without having access to pretty much everything, which would diminish the need for 4 unique characters.

Does anyone know how MAXes will work cert wise since they are customizable and can't use the benefits of some certs? Would weapon certs determine what choices you'd have in customization? And are MAXes able to pilot/drive/gun any vehicles?

[Camping Carl]

Don't think the max's can drive anything, sorry.

[Shyfted One]

What good would certs be for them then? Are they used just to sacrifice diversity for strength in one area?

[Camping Carl]

Well, you could always switch to standard armor and go pilot something. You aren't stuck with a Max suit just cause' you can use it.

[Sputty]

What if you can't get a tank or vehicles? What if you want to be transported in a galaxy? MAXes are very useful

[Shyfted One]

I'm not doubting their usefullness it just seems dumb to me that someone would pick the MAX cert and pretty much have no use for any of the others. If I wanted to use somethign besides the MAX suit I could just use another character who can put something else in the spot where the MAX cert is.

[Sputty]

Heh, not really. There are nonAA vehciles and if you want to use a tank for AT then you'll need to find a cehicle spwaning area and AI doesn't really exist in armor except for tanks. Buggies allow the dirver and gunner to be shot at easily.
