What do you have now?

[micelus]

Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series
RAM: 4 gbs
CPU: Intel Core i3 530

Not exactly built for gaming, I know...but don't have money or skill for doing something about it. Anything else I should provide?

Nevermind, found spec requirements.

[sluissa]

You'll probably be okay with the right settings. Mine has a slightly better card but significantly worse processor and I can play it decently most of the time.

[micelus]

Actually, from what the spec requirements tell me, I actually need a slightly better card to play. Still, I can risk a free download to confirm.

before my upgrade i was getting 30fps on low out of battle. 10-15fps in battle but tbh it wasnt that hard to play with but I was very used to it anyway

I'd happily join a B12 group, but would probably want it to be organized. Any idea on what race we'll be? I've been running Vanu.

FTFY.

Any truth to the rumour that the Alpha will be in the order of 18gigs DL?  That would pretty much mean I couldn't DL it for a couple of months at least.  No way I can justify buying excess bandwidth for about 200AUD.

Not sure, but it is supposed to be getting a Steam launch, so you could download it in bits depending on your cap.

200 bucks for 18 extra gigs one month ??!? I knew internet stuff was bad down there, but geez.

[Darkening Kaos]

It's even worse if you're with the national carrier, Telstra.  I dread to think how much 18 GB would cost with them.

I've sent Virgin an e-mail to see if they have upgraded their towers near me to support post-paid access, but they haven't responded yet - I really want to abandon my current ISP as they have recently merged with another carrier and the service has gone downhill rapidly, both data and customer service.
It sucks 'cause I'm in an area where they are, supposedly, fast tracking the NBN, but there has been no indication of when they are even going to start working on it.

I'm assuming he's talking about switching providers? A lot of providers charge a termination fee if you switch before your contract is up.

If you live around Sydney you should probably sign up with TPG; unlimited at 20mbps for $60 or so; their other plans aren't so bad either...Feck, acted like a spambot.

I'm in Adelaide, so we get the rough end of the pineapple.

Nope.  I have no fixed line into the house, so it has to be mobile and that just makes life awkward and expensive.

TPG does a deal at 35 per 9 GB, so that might be an option, I'll have to hunt around for a dealer though, last I tried, the dealer had shut up shop and moved without providing a forwarding address.

Anyway, if I get it sorted, I could be part of the outfit, hours of access not-withstanding.  Near the end of the beta I was having great success with my HA sniper build, seriously pissing off some of the Vanu Infiltrators that were lurking inside Andvari.  It is surprising how many charge around blindly without looking behind rocks, drums, crates, building corners.  I don't care if I shoot them in the back...several times....changing magazines.....and a grenade.

Count me in.
I'll need a good amount of training before i can fly a reaver and even more before i can pilot a tank tough.
Hell, even turrets on a moving tank are hard for me.

[Neyvn]

As I said before, maybe 2-4 pages back...
Learning to fly should be done slowly and from Large to Small...

First step is to get into a Gal and just use it to practice taking off and landing, these things can help big time when it comes to a Reaver for just landing to repair it as too many times you will explode in a reaver when trying to land where in a gal you would bounce...

Next Step is to get into a Lib just to practice going around low altitude, with the lib's Horizontal Floating capabilities, keeping yourself up as you move around will give you time to balance and adjust yourself accordingly...

Finally, the Reaver. The Reaver can be a little fast after moving from Gal to Lib, but getting used to it shouldn't take too long now that you should know how to safely takeoff and land without damagin the craft and also being able to move close to the ground without leaving a stain mark on the terrain. Its really now that you practice actually fighting in an aircraft, generally you want to hunt down Libs and Gal and avoid the Mozies/Scythes, The Mozie is much faster then you so he can make better turns to get you back into his sights after a pass while the Scythe is a bitch with his tight turning abilities and floating method of catching you above with ease...

Also, DO NOT BE AFRAID. NC crafts are built tought, a Mozie will EXPLODE when it collides with a Reaver, granted the Reaver has a high chance of exploding but you will actually get the kill. I found it HILARIOUS but it happens... Get an Ejector seat and you can crash your Reavers Kamikaze style into things with little to no worries... Wait... You wanted to fly in the air not into the ground right, meh your NC you'll live...

[miauw62]

The mental image of 12 reavers, all with C4 sticked on their nose taking out 12 tanks is awe-inspiring.
