Which eliminates the possibility of jacking any of the faction specific vehicles...

I mean, if you're guarding an area, are you going ot wait to see if an enemy car is driven by your team? No, you're gonna blow it to pieces immediatly...

kind of like what would happen in a real warfare situation UNLESS SOMEBODY BOTHERED TO NOTIFY THEIR TEAMMATES

you see blackhawk down? ***** almost killed a friendly unit cuz of no communication

Eliminates jacking of other factions vehicles? I think you read it wrong, you CAN jack another factions vehicles, you just need the driving/piloting cert to use it to make it useful, i assume you could hack all the vehicles u wanted w/o driving away with them just so the enemy has to hack back into them to use them.

Check out our certs page:
http://www.planetside-universe.com/c...p?p=sdCertInfo

<b>Enforcer/Marauder/Thresher</b>
Depending on which empire you belong to, this "assault buggy" certification lets you drive one of either the two-man heavy buggy, three-man assault buggy, or two-man hover buggy (respectively).

So, if you have the enforcer cert, u can drive the marauder or thresher as I understand it.

Sounds to me that you only get the cert for YOUR factions vehicle?? anyone clarify this? Allthough dont get me wrong it would be interesting to be able to do so

Hamma · 2002-12-17, 11:19 PM

It could mean either - I am just assuming because they grouped them like that.... and they have said you can jack empire specific vehicles. Need dave to drop by

Hatte · 2002-12-17, 11:20 PM

Hmm, yes I am confused as well, the buggy cert mentions being only able to drive your factions vehicle, but the hvy tank does not, could use some clarification pls.

B00tlegbob · 2002-12-17, 11:21 PM

yes, that would be the berries!! Its great really that there is so much known about ps, but in reality we only know the high level info.... all the nitty gritty is still there for each of us to discover in game for ourselves

Cheers

can you acquire other factions certs after killing them??

pickup ammo + certs off dead bodies?

Hatte · 2002-12-17, 11:24 PM

a certification is not a piece of paper but training, what you're talking about would be similar to picking up a drivers licence and immediatly knowing how to drive.

afex · 2002-12-17, 11:25 PM

certs aren't physical, its like knowledge.

but you can loot weps/ammo

Whoracle · 2002-12-17, 11:27 PM

ohdammmn

well then this does become confusiing

Hamma · 2002-12-17, 11:30 PM

Whoracle take a look around the main site
http://www.planetside-universe.com/

it will give u a better idea about the game.. hehe

If you get out of your vehicle and you die and you spawn back at your base and then you spawn a new vehicle, if no one has hacked it will it dissappear or will it stay. If a bunch of people keep dying out of their vehicles the stray vehicles might make some interesting cover or maybe even sniper bait.
