this is in the IN TESTING section of the PS website.

In Testing
Player Recertification
Some certifications are being modified to become inclusive groupings of vehicles and equipment. When this change goes live, all players will have their certifications wiped: and will have the points available to spend at the Certification Terminal again.

The new certification categories will be:

Air Cavalry (4 points)
Mosquito
Reaver

Air Support (3 Points)
Galaxy
Liberator
Lodestar

ATV (2 Points)
Basilisk
Wraith
Switchblade

Light Scout (3 Points)
Harasser
Lightning

Assault Buggy (3 Points)
Empire-specific Buggy
Skyguard

Armored Assault (3 Points)
Empire-specific Tank
Flail

Transport (2 Points)
Deliverer
Sunderer

Support (2 Points)
AMS
Router

Uni-MAX (5 Points)
Makes all empire-specific MAX configs available.
Note: The individual MAX certifications will still be available. However, purchasing all three under the Uni-MAX will allow you to save a few cert points.

Holy Fucksticks Batman!

[Strak]

Ya I think that describes it nicely!

[dscytherulez]

OMGOMGOMG

I creamed myslef when i saw this lol. Thats so great!! I like this idea...individual cert points put a hurting on the use of vehicles, this should open it up...and the uni-max will be GREAT for my TR char, i got the burster and pounder, why not throw in a cycler for free right? lol.

[TheRagingGerbil]

Damnit, the mosq should be under the scout cert. Now wtf am I going to do? 4 certs...bah.

[EarlyDawn]

They just didn't make it clear that you'll be able to acquire everything individually, which is kind of alarming, but I digress. Looks good.

Would like some more "task specific" groupings in addition to the presented ones...


Scouting:
Mosquito, Wraith, Infil suit: 5 points

Field Support:
Gal, AMS/Router, Lodestar: 4 points

Frontline Support:
Adv Medical, Engineering, Lodestar, AMS (Maybe): 7 points (8 with AMS)

Artillary Technician:
Flail, Infil Suit, Skyguard: 6 points
Eill edit with more later if I think of some noteworthy ones.

[TheRagingGerbil]

Hmm, thinking about it.

The armor on the lightning needs to be increased (doubled?). Then move it under a Calvary cert with the Reaver.

Bunch the harasser and the mosq together under the scout cert.
