Ok, download complete. Created a character called Dekkarax (obviously); server's Gemini, right?

If so, then I'm ready for orders; didn't see an escapist squad though.

Hey Paul, how's that reserves list? I'm really anxious to see how my skills have held up.

See my above post with bolded text. I've had sufficient no-answers in the reserve, I've resorted to waiting for direct contact so I can re-re-issue from the first wave of no-answers with some hope that the person at the other end is paying attention.

And yes, I still have keys that may be good. PM me for details!

Phew. That was chaotic. Got warped randomly to old oshur with a couple hundred of each army. Fought desperately, but VS ended up winning. But we made sure they were only left with one base still intact. I took about 40 screenies, plus a 10 minute video, but I'm too tired to pick them up right now. Maybe tomorrow.

My advice: Invest some points in air vehicle certs. Just walking from hotspot to hotspot can take a long time, and you can miss the battle, as I learnt today.

Alright, so I haven't played much in the past couple days because my computer decided it would become a paperweight.

I got Windows up and running again just last night and am now re-downloading Planetside and will resume play... sometime. Sorry for the downtime.

Also, would it be possible to get some side-by-side stats to see how we're doing against the other two groups?

Grr. Not good news.

I ran around helping with repairs and then, towards the end of the evening, I noticed and enemy soldier running down a gully near our base. Briefly I saw he had "Escapist" in his name, so I charged after him. I put a few bullets into his fleeing form, but he disappeared over a ridge.
That's either me or Grae, that is. =D

...If they remember whether or not they saw a capitalized "E" in the name, we could find that out. And then hold bragging rights that we kept to the site's namesake and escaped lol.

I'm willing to bet it was you, though, as the date indicates I was still on my trial account. Good on ya ;)

I think we should all come online at once some time, and invade some unsuspecting planet.

Yes, we should organize certain days when we can all get together and rape the countryside with our bombs and bullets.

Come on, it would be fuuuuuunnn!

More Aerial ownage from Gremlin, who's becoming delusional and is starting to refer to himself as the red baron.



Oh, and don't drive lightnings off bridges. I know it sounds clever, but it isn't.

I picked up an AA MAX today, having not used one in a while...

Suffice to say I'm now second on outfit points. Second to Stark, who will soon be going DOWN. Muahaha etc etc.

Damn you, I might have to re-cert hacking so I can take back my second place.

Ok so is everyone enjoying this so far? I haven't got into the clan yet but find the game "So-So" at best.

I also have experience of underwater lightnings, not good, as like real lightning, they do conduct into the water pretty quickly.
Must admit, as long as no-one looks down into the water, you can sneak up on people quite well.
Also, I gave up on outfit points a long time ago, (I have like 300 to the leader's 1,000+), as I make very few kills (even fewer at the beginning before I started sniping), I just provide a little support for people (nothing keeps their heads down like a sniper round to the face) though I rarely kill people, (lots of people killing me though).
Though it would be nice to have advanced medical again, so I can wake you guys from your dirt naps quickly when you go and get yourself killed. ; )

I believe it was Slycne that passed this along regarding sniping:
Since it takes a minimum of 2 shots to kill someone, and they run and hide while you're waiting for the bolt to cycle on your gun (or whatever the delay is for) - carry two. Obviously will need the Reinforced Exosuit, and your backup weapon will be a pistol of some sort if anyone closes with you, unless you want to carry around yet another rifle-sized weapon in your backpack.

Also, I recommend turning off auto-reload while doing so, just so you don't fire your last bullet in one gun and spend forever reloading before you can switch off.
