New guy - questions and a few thoughts.

[kel]

Ive decided to come over to ps from daoc - I love daoc but the pve and cash farming are just a huge waste of time.

I have a few questions and some thoughts regarding outfits.

1. Equipment/vehicles - once youve got the cert do you have to buy them or is there a pool you just take one from? Is there currency at all?

2. Does the VOIP work as this would be a great improvement commmand wise over typing

3. I want to join a friendly outfit but one that has standardised training in things like fire + manouver, talking indirect fire onto target etc as from what ive read the aiming is more realistic than quake etc and rl tactics would probably benefit us greatly (I'm an Officer in the British Army irl) Friendly attitude and professional approach more important than rank tables or kiddy 733t. Can anyone reccommend one?

4. Whats the "levelling" curve like - daoc takes weeks/months of play to be competetive ie to get to L50. What do you need to be competetive here?

5. Ganking - is there such a thing as being shot by your own side?

6. Command rank - obviously Ill give this a shot - is it reserved for senior guys in an outfit.

I reckon this game would be a blast of you split your troops up into cav, infantry, close air support etc but had everynoe trained to a basic standard in various skills (tanks use same principles of f+m as infantry). Most importantly a good voice net would give you a big advantage over others.

Got the game on order and will see ya all ingame when it comes out in the UK - please post if you have room in your outfits ill either be a pilot or tank commander (know a few things about tanks:))
