Will I be able to get certified for EVERY vehicle?


My goal for my character would be to get a certification for each and every vehicle in the game. That way I can help my team, squad, platoon, empire at any time in any way they need.

Other than agile armor and a basic rifle certification, the vehicles are all I want.

Will this be possible?

Or will there be some I won't be able to get.

I know the devs said that at the most you can only get about 1/3rd the total certifications, but I figure that a cert for all vehicles will add up to about 1/3rd the total, so it should work, right?

Any thoughts?

Also, do you think this would be a poor way to go? Or a smart choice?

No, there are to many. Most cost 2 or 3, and some have prereqs. Youd need wraith, basilisk, buggy, empire buggy, lightning, empire tank, misquito, reaver, galaxy, deliverer, sunderer, and AMS. Thats 12 and i probally missed some. if they only cost two each you wouldnt get them all, and thats without guns or armor.
However, you could probally get agile armor, medium assualt, reaver, APC, AMS, Galaxy, and Empire buggy. That pretty much covers anything your squad could want.

well damn. That's not cool. I mean, it is I suppose, because it's balanced and all, but I was hoping to get them all.



As long as I can get:

agile
medium assault
little 4 wheel 1 man ATV
ground APC (either one)
Galaxy
Mosquito/other slightly larger flying one
Tank

then i'll be OK.

I'd like to be able to get all the flying ones at least but we'll see.

Thanks for the help!

That sounds about right HF, and I agree. Even if you didn't get any other certs at all, you most likely wouldn't be able to get all the vehicles in the game. I'd assume that the only vehicle that costs 1 cert point is the basilisk, and maybe the wraith or buggy too. 2 cert points is most likely the average for vehicles with some even costing 3. Will you be able to get every vehicle in the game? Yes, but it's probably going to take 3 characters to do it.

Besides, you'd be a much better help to your team if you had agile and at least 1 extra weapons cert, a pure vehicle-based character wouldn't be much use during times that your squad doesn't need vehicles (like inside a base) or when you get shot down.

At most, with a maxed out character, you can only get 21 points to spend (at this time anyways, it's entirely possible this number will change pre-release or even post-release, like with an expansion). Note, that's 21 points, not 21 certifications. Some certifications take more than 1 point to purchase them.

Hmm, so...


Agilie: 1 point
Medium Assault: 1 point
ATV: 1 point
APC: 2 points
galaxy: 3 points
mosquito: 3 points
tank: 2 points


Those are pure guesses, but that adds up to 13 total points. Which means even if you add one more point to each of my estimates, I can still get all those. and have 1 left over.

So I think I'll be fine, because I'm sure some of those estimates are accurate, so I'll have points left over to get a second weapon cert or a hacking cert or something.

Thanks for the assisance guys you've been great

wraith is like basilisk, just no weapon and less armor (maybe less armor), but it will cloaks if the driver has a infiltration suit.
And for ur question, u would b able to get almost all ground vehicles certs, and all air vehicle certs,
anyway im planing on having a character with basilisk, harrassre, empire specific buggy, lighting, empire specific tank, deliverer, sunderer, medium wepon cert, agile armour, reinforced and repair. That might work.
Tho u can get all air vehicles, im pretty sure on that. If all dont cost more than 5 points
also try this calculator, its a total guessimator but I think they guess pretty wellhttp://www.uea.ac.uk/~y0210188/PSskillcalc.html

My estimates for what you want are.


Agile - 2
Medium assualt- 2
ATV - 1
APC half squad - 2(full squad per req)
APC Full squad - 2
Galaxy - 3
Misquito - 2
Lightning (light tank) - 2 (Empire heavy tank pre req)
Empire heavy tank - 3

That comes out to 19, unless its later then i thought, so you have enough for alittle more for ATV or misquito. Hell, maybe im right and youll be able to get urself some reinforced armor too.

Agile and Medium assault are probably only 1 cert. Reinforced and Heavy/Special assault are more likely to be 2.
