Most Underused Class?


Hi, I haven't been to these boards for AGES, but i've finally got Broadband so I can play PS!

Anyway, in games like this (MM FPS) I like being the most underused and most challenging classes (Pyro in Team Fortress Classic and Set in Age of Mythology). So what sort of classes of players are desperately (or not so desperatey) needed in PS?

At the moment I'm a Air and Ground Transporter, using the Galaxy and Deliv/Sund. I don't see too many MAXs and I don't see ANYONE use the Quad Bike things. There are quite a few Medics and Hackers. There are LOADS of reavers and mosquitos...

What should I be?

Anti-Air Max, Anti-Air vehicle like the Skyguard or An infantry with anti-Vehicle Certificate.

Never short of Targets, and guarantee to be a prized asset to any squad

I agree, Anti-Air...don't seem to be enough of them as of late...Anti-Vehicle in general would be good to. There have been so many vehicles as of late, that I'm actually considering creating another charachter specifically for that purpose alone. Lotsa BEP out there...

definatley anti-vehicle grunts, most grunts are so concerned with killing each other they dont care about vehicles beyond complaining how unfair it is that they kill them....
what most grunts dont do is DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, as for the best av weapon at the moment that is debatable, it has more to do with your playstyle, but all of them are better in groups, solo however I would put my money on the pheonix, seeing as you can chase the vehciles down while remaining in relative saftey I would take 1, if you want some anti-air power I would pick up a striker, which is alright too

I disagree that AV grunts are hard to find. As a Terran, I can readily expect that a my bases' defenders will have at least 30 Strikers among them. Personally, I find that I love people who do something as simp,le as have Medical and Engineering

If you go TR we are in short supply of Prowlers so picking up the cert to drive one would help. People are way more eager to get on the guns then drive the vehicle.

oh...you know what? I was COMPLETELY wrong, be an ant driver, those are definatley in short supply, and everyone hates doing it, but apparantly you like doing the thing that nobody else likes to do, well refueling bases for a living certainly fits that ticket, have fun, its REAL good BEP....

Does refueling get you BEP? I don't know, as I am a n00b...

I think I will get an AV Weapon License and Anti Air MAX. I still have enough Certs to keep my Air Support and Ground transport too. I think I'm gonna base myself on vehicles: Driving and Killing

I am tempted to say medics and engineers are the most underused class
then ant drivers came up
Ant drivers are going the way of the dodo.
enemy vehicles love hunting and eating ants and nobody bothers to protect the ants.
If ants had a 300mm direct fire cannon mounted on it's hood asan ornament i bet there would be more ant drivers.
