HELP PLEASE

NightWalker XI · 2003-06-14, 06:09 AM

Well...

First go around the re-spawn building in the sanctuary and go to the door that say VR Training or something like that..

Read the little help boxes and use all the weapons and see how you like them..

Then after you done all that and the MAX's go to Vehicle trainin and use all of them and the aircraft which is a bit inland (the circular pad on the map)

After that you should be BR3, in the big building labelled Shuttle there are terminals so you can buy certs, certs are a thing that lets you use a specific weapon/armour/vehicle/support item

After you get what you want, look for a squad by typing in /b LFS while in sanctuary on in a friendly SOI and there ya go, follow them around, cap bases, kill enemies, hold enemies off from a cap, defend bases, use stealth/tactics and have fun.

I know what you mean. The game can be extremely perplexing. Lucky for me I had Sputty to help me out. I recommend joining an outfit... And following them around for a bit to get a nice feeling for the game.

Ok.. here a few things that might help.

1. Read about the varios Empires and see what type that fits most.

2. Look at Map (M-key), Look at the global screen and see where the battles are. (NC citys are blue, VS Purple and TR red). Battles or resent encounters are displayed as a "explosion on map".
If you see a small flag at a city it meens its being hacked by another empire. (Same colour on flag as citys abouve). The numbers in % shows the amount of NANO in a city (important.. read below).

3. IF your empire is hacking a city and you help. DONT shoot the turrets and surrounding unless you have to. The citys repair themself and will use Nano to do it. IF a empire is in progress of hacking a city and/OR a city gets out of nano it becomes neutral.
Since it takes 15 min to hack a city it will be a looong wait if it turns neutral during hack since you will have to fill it with nano and start hack it again. (SO leave the turrets and equipment alone if no enemy is in base.)

4. Use ANT to fill your empire citys with Nano. You will get decent bxp there.

5. IF a city being hacked.. STAY there untill the hack is done. Or you will miss good xp.

6. Try team up in a squad and work togeather. Since you usually end up getting killed on your own. Use the other classes skills. You will be amazed what a well coordinated squad can accomplish.

7. You cant hack citys not "connected" to one of your own.

8. Everybody have some hacking ability. The rek you get at start can open enemy doors and hack towers.. but thats it.

Some terms that can be of use:
LFS=Looking for squad
LFSM= Looking for squad memeber (leader use this to get more)
GAL= Galaxy (troop transport ship)
ETA Hack= Question when a hack on a city is done (minutes)
HOT DROP: Drop from ship while in air (alt+g) Usually over towers and roof on citys.

so wait, whats nano?

NightWalker XI · 2003-06-14, 09:06 AM

Nanites, its what powers everything in this game and what fuel the bases/cities

You get an A.N.T (Advanced Nanite Transporter) anyone can drive one as long as they have another vehicle certification, you drive them to the nearest warpgate, fill it up and bring it back to the bases little power meter thingie, go aroung the back and press G and you get like 100 EXP
