It wouldn't be such a big deal if they would just fix the fekkin lock on issue. We can deal with a bunch of crappy mossie pilots. But not the no skill I win Stryker.

Striker is cheesy, but since you can't lock on to turrets or maxes it gets me killed sometimes. At least the NC can dumbfire their Pheonix that hits like a truck and the Lancer has amazing range.

I thought they did? Or is this an Alpha Squad thing? I remember starting off with 100 certs with each character I created.

I agree. From what the data miners at Reddit got from the PTS files, it seems like future instances of the tutorial may include a something to suggest a class or vehicle type based on someone's playstyle:

Now that is a good idea.

100 wouldn't be a game-breaker, but would allow new players to get a weapon sight, a suit upgrade and have some certs to add into class abilities.

It's not much, but it'd help set new players on their way.

Chewy there is one thing you don't realise about BRIT...

Yeah, it supprised me to get on for the Weekly Op and actually see the Outfit's Internet Celeb PLAYING the game.

That face when you and TB are the only two in the Op who go to one base when everyone was order to go to another.

This is so obvious the devs must have thought of it but decided not to for some reason. Great idea.

Reminds me of the idea of a standard/unlimited implant everyone gets that gives you 25% XP boost, one of the many balance suggestions thrown out in the whole implant drama.

As in re-inventing the wheel again...
In planetside 1 you started out with a set of certs spent. One could immediatly ditch a cert to grab another.

Wouldn't bother me if I could line of sight it. Or outrun it. Or use some kind of skill to defeat it.

The Phoenix has no part of this argument because it can't hit air. Who uses rockets for turrets anyway?
