Yes unlocked weapons are free.

hmm this "first battle" with maybe neutral bases everywhere will go through in about an hour.

i wonder, what happens to the status of the worldmap, when the server goes down? if it crashes or has to be taken down for maintenance. will the world be resetted and all bases go neutral? or will the last saved mapstatus be reloaded?

if the status is reloaded, how are bases going to reset to neutral anyways? will there be a possibility to make bases go neutral? like draining in ps1?
i don´t think the devs have programmed a whole neutral nanine system theme for the bases if this status will only be available in the first hour of the whole gamelife!

New players will undoubtedly have a small resource pool to use initially.

I was wondering this as well, do factions start with territory, or have to work their way from their warp gate outwards? If so, a whole bunch of people will just grab Flashes as soon as possible and snatch up undefended territories, 'twill be fun.

When I read this, I swear I hear the Metal Gear Solid theme play off in the distance. Maybe that's just the psychosis.

To answer someone else's earlier question (RedKnights I believe) about why we would want multiple continents if they are all resource independent? Simple: variety. Some days people want to fight in the desert, others want to fight in the jungle etc. If each cont was a different server, you wouldn't get that, obviously. Simple as that.

I believe the actual saying is:
No plan survives contact with the enemy.

Funny you should bring up the topic of when.

[Clueless]

And everyone knows, even if time takes forever, enemy spec-ops squads and outfits will be back-hacking as soon as everyone leaves their first newly conquered hex near their foothold. Going to be a lot of fun!

As for resources, give me enough to hop on a quad, and for first day only, let me get a lance! A medieval lance! Jousting in the middle of the continents, go!

But it isn't as catchy...

Well the fact that it has made it into common language and has established itself as a saying seems to suggest you are in the minority in that way of thinking.
