1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

Are they really that effective? Or would it be better to wait for C4?

[Jopax]

Mines are more fire and forget while the C4 is usually something very deliberate. The mines are also more cost effective (get two for 100 as opposed to one for 200 in case of C4). So I'd say the C4 is better on LA where its mobility greatly eases effective use while mines are better for the Engie who is usually more of the supporting role.

[Toaster]

Depends.

C4:  Unlocked per class.  1 brick at first rank (200 certs), 2 at rank 2 (500 certs).  Detonated whenever you want.  Useful versus anything.  Especially useful for LA.  Two will kill pretty much anything- mine guard doesn't help.


AT Mines: Engy only.  2 mines at first rank (100 certs), 3 at rank 2 (200 certs).  Will trigger on vehicles only, though infantry caught in the blast will be hurt/killed.  Two will kill anything without mineguard, three anything that isn't heavily invested in mineguard.

One time we were pushing on howling pass and the vanu were close to abandoning it. When we took it I went to buy a lightning and lo and behold somebody put like three tank mines right in front of the spawn pad. BOOM.

You clever bastards.

[Toaster]

Better a Lightning than a sundy.

AT Mines. Will trigger on vehicles only, though infantry caught in the blast will be hurt/killed.

They can also be triggered by shooting them/a nearby explosion. At least half my deaths when attempting to mine enemy tanks in the field are due to a friendly tank shooting at the target just after I dropped a mine causing it to blow, usually taking the target with it as well.

[Satarus]

There is also the anti-personnel mine option.  Very effective to leave at major entrances, capture points, generators, or walk ways.

But for actual flying having roll on the horizontal axis is massively preferable. It's just that it makes strafing targets awkward to do.

Sadly it's the only way to strafe really, since you can't go sideways in any shape or form (which massively sucks balls, I'd love to have that as a cert or something) and have to resort to turning sideways and spacebar boosting to accomplish it.

Actually, it would make sense for the scythe to be able to strafe, as it is litteraly noted in the lore as a direct result from an overboosted magbooster. Altough I in no way support buffing the VS even more.

Apparently according to smedley there are some server merges coming up shortly with more details coming on monday.

Also incoming update 3 tomorrow. notes.

This is my surprised face:

Also, for being GU03, all the new I see in there is SMGs.  What about all the roadmap content?

[Silent_Thunder]

God knows how they thought they could fill that many servers. They actually had more capacity than the number of logins EVE Online has at peak times.

[miauw62]

Oh, look, they made the UI even more terrible. It IS important to know wether the VS or the TR have more influence, goddamnit.

Why are you still using enemy ally settings? Empire specific is absolutly essential really.

[darkrider2]

Been playing NC a lot more now.

And I overheard the squad leaders talking about the vanguard. Said it used to be the NC's saving grace then it got nerfed. o_O

So I'm thinking as long as this doesn't turn into the three factions from MAG, I won't rage quit the game.

I wish my computer could handle this game. I played it once, briefly, at a friend's house and it is excellent, in my opinion.
One day, one day maybe I'll get a gaming PC or update this one. In the meantime I will read your stories here and be jealous.
