If you try renting o e of the weapons maybe it will appear on both classes, Nd if it does, there's your answer.

I figured out recently that medkits a d restorTion kits are unlocked between all classes for just certing it once.

What's the Bay12ers density spread as far as server/faction goes right now?

I'm finally wrapping up this semester and have time to get back into PS2. I've also (re)discovered that I have horrible impulse control when my sleep schedule is erratic as I purchased a year-long subscription before realizing that I might not have enough for food this month (only semi-j/king).

Judging by this, the vast majority of us are NC, mostly on Mattherson and Miller.

Made an NC character on Matherson.  Sucks to start over.  I really hate the game's character system.  But I'd like to see some B12ers around.  Name is SalmonB12.

My first character is VS on Waterson named PentaGrand.

Also, I saw mention that the game cash sometimes goes on sale where you can get double or triple the amount.  Hopefully there will be a triple sale around Christmas, and I'll see if I can drop $20 on it.

Why are people talking about Blacklight Retribution in the past tense?

Blacklight -- Last I checked (also 2-3 weeks ago) the game is still up and running, but server populations were pretty low.  Not a good sign.

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

I do so adore the big metal blocks aesthetic, though.

If I didn't go by what I like the looks of, I'd be torn between TR for the mossie and VS for the accurate guns. Also because the magrider can drive up really steep cliffs.

To be fair, 'friendly fire' means that shooting the one enemy in the midst of a dozen allies is hard. Half those players might've spotted the 'giraffe', but been unable to get a shot off without murdering their allies.

That never stopped me.

I still haven't been weapon-locked.

Serious question time, guys, and yes, really, seriously, (no sarcasm this time).

Why does a gauss weapon need a gas compensator? Or a muzzle flash suppressor?

It seems very wrong to me.  Did SOE put any thought into the weapons they were emulating in this game? (Rhetorical question as the answer is self-evident)

I don't actually know much about Vanu weapons... are they actually Gauss weapons? If so, you can handwave it as compensating for compression in the barrel due to the projectile. Assuming a sufficiently-high velocity and a partial seal between the projectile and the barrel, you'd end up with a vacuum forming behind the projectile. Once it leaves the barrel, a sudden rush of air would backfill the vacuum, resulting in a 'kick'.

Still doesn't explain flash suppression... and if the Vanu weapons are laser/energy weapons, then I have no excuses.  :-[
