He can reapir armor and work this little nanite things... that it. figure he could build a defence turret or somthing. maybe only be able to build 2 and easy to kill. machine gun are basic and then empire specific. plasma ( vanu) maybe somthing in the sence as a nail gun turret for NC
A HVY machine gun turret for TR.
I know it's too late to add it and I know we'er goign into bet AND that the games going to be gold in about a month or so. this idea is for say a patch or somthing.

Werd Up.

Many of the facts listed above are correct, but most of them have some slight innaccuracy, so I'll clarify a bit to try and help:
Engineering: Allows use of BANK (repair player armor and self armor) and the Nano-Dispenser (repair equipment and vehicles).

Combat Engineering: Allows use of the ACE, which can deploy Boomers, HE Mines, Spitfire Turrets, and Motion Sensors.

There ya go. I use those certs all the time because I like the flexibility of the options, but they're not everyone's cup of tea (mostly because I didn't get the "big guns" and have to be clever to kill my opponents).

Interesting, not interesting enough to make me want to be take the role of an engi though.

My god, but the idea of a stealth hacking engineer pilot totally r0xx0rz my b0xx0rz.

Stealth can't carry much in the way of ACEs, though.

If you defend a lot, Spitfire Turrets would be worth the investment.

Besides, Combat Engi + Reinforced armor + Empire rifle ain't that bad.

You can carry 4 ACEs and a REK. When you are out of ACEs, hack a equipment terminal and resupply...

Cygnus · 2003-02-23, 05:23 AM

Or, you know, just change armors once you hack an equipment terminal or locker. Don't know exactly what I was thinking about, there.

Wow, thats a good idea, never thought of it. Could you also have terminals get ammo for pistol? Id assume so, but i cant remember if equipment terminals give out ammo and equipment, and you dont wanna go around hacking two terminals everytime you resupply.

If your doing an invasion, and you manage to sneak in (thinking stealth engi here), it would be way better. You just throw up a couple of turrets and start hacking. Anyone tries to stop you, and you've got two turrets to cover you while you hack.

Can only put up turrets in your sphere of influence, which an enemy base is not in.

Hope there won't be a to big of an enginer shortage in the start... would suck for those times you need a console repaired.

A MAX won't last long without engineers and medics. Who cares if you have 650 armor and 100 health? It still goes away faster then a tank.

Zatrais · 2003-02-25, 06:22 AM

Yeah, but i said engineer shortage in the start... I don't care if i die in a MAX suit cause theres no engineers around... What i would care about is if theres no enginers around AND the equipment terminal has been blown up..
