Cert. Combo's

[Nightmare]

I can't decid if I want to go stealth and hack, or get some weapon, armor, and light tank certs and go on the assault. Thank god you can make muiltiple characters and change some certs.

[OmnipotentKiwi]

Again, I am not worrying about this until points are more certain, since it can completely change how I create my character.

Also, like mentioned before, that cert calculator is a TOTAL guestimate. There is really very little fact behind it other then most certs costs 2-3 points, and there is 1 pre-requisite tops for each cert. Basically it is a template until he has more information.

So there's no advanced weapon specs such as specializing in a specific weapon to improve accuracy or anything? In other words you spend points to use a weapon and that's as far as you can go with that weapon?

It seems like people won't be very specialized at all and everyone will be able to be good at almost everything if that calculator is anywhere close to how it will be.

[Saint]

The calculator is a guess, certs will be like 3-4 points a piece, you will have to specialize or else you will die.

From looking at said sheet you could become a jack of all trades, and master at none. Or you could specilise say like a pilot, or a ***** and be much more useful. Cause what good is flying a galaxy when you can't fix it. Some times a sunderer will need cover, and the galaxy won't be able to do that real well. If your ship gets wacked and you punch out. Your gonna need a weap/armor combo to make it back alive

Everyone's probably going to want to have agile and probably medium armor, simply because it gives you the versatility to do almost anything because of the ability to use lots of weapons. Hacking would also be good for anyone who's not going max and plans to be infantry. However, according to Hamma, I believe, you can get about half the certs with the 21 points you get, so you can specialize in something and then dabble in a little bit of everything to maintain some versatility. Or you could specialize in two roles (pilot/inf suit/medium armor, here

Correct, the game is more based on player skills then trained skills. There are enough certs though that you will have to specialize quite a bit. It all depends on what you want to do.

[BigDickMccoy]

after looking at the scale. I doubt the truthfulness because i was underthe impresion that AMS would not be a cert. But anyway according to the chart I could build my char the way i want easily

[Lexington_Steele]

AMS does require a cert. It is the ANT that does not require a cert.

[Zatrais]

Gonna get all the MAX certs, medium armor, medium and heavy assault then a med cert... and hopefull i can get a mosquito or a reaver... course this is assuming most certs will be 2 points.

[BigDickMccoy]

Doh! got ANT and AMS mixed up:o

Yea as was stated above, this game is about individual skills. Not the best certs, or increasing things like health and accuracy via a cert or other methods.

A vet will be on the same playing field as a newb, with the exception the vet will have a few more guns to play with.

More like 1-2 in the VR training area. You start with 2 Cert points, and can get to BR3, which is 2 more cert points. With the average cert costing 2-3 points, you will leave with 1-2.

You can et to BR5 in VR training bud.

i'm going to cert myself in armor and weapon first. then my buggy, then hacking and healing.

[NapalmEnima]

1) AMS
2) Agile armor (which is a pre-req for...)
3) AV MAX
4) engineering

That'll suck up the first 7-9 points I'd say. I can now guard the AMS pretty well, and repair it if need be.
