I think even in games you can expect certain things to be comparable to their real life equivalent. Furthermore, look at the date on the story line. The war breaks out in the year 2865. Nanite reconstruction wouldd certainly be possible by that time, consider what we've done so far. I'm a mechanical engineer, granted I don't deal with nano technologies, but look at this:

Plasma weapons could be possible, and we already have Mag lev. I've built those, perhaps Auraxias just happen to have a high enough iron content, or the methods became better? I don't recall them being specified as "anti-gravity", just "hover". So the method could be left to interpretation.

Also, cert points could just be like being rewarded with special requisitions for battlefield heroics. Not that different than privileges associated with certain medals. Like never having to buy your own drink at a bar again with some medals now adays...
