Just Play...

Some people don't enjoy the game much if they're not getting anything from it. They want to advance, not fight the same battles over and over while others have better equipment than they do.

This. I generally log in, look at my certs, see if I can buy something fun with it, start playing to WIN (meaning I'm the one running around fixing/destroying all the generators, positioning sundys, etc unless we've got some outfit-action).

There's very few people with "better" equipment. Rocket pods is one, and there are a few straight upgrades. All the rest is highly circumstantial, and even a fully upgraded Tank/Inf/Plane can be killed by a non-upgraded one. You just need to learn the circumstances It's also way cooler to kill a fully decked out camo'd custom helmet HA with a pewpewpistol

Agreed. If i get to pick between a normal mossie or one with red camo i tend to chase the one with the camo just because

No no no.  There are (debatably) few weapons that are straight upgrades.  As long as we're talking certs, everything else you spend them on is blatantly straightforward upgrades of up to 50% better character stats and ability performance.  I don't care about progression, but I'm going to be cert obsessed until I know I'm on a level playing field.

I generally don't play to gain certs, but it's always fun when you go on, find that Amerish is completely empty, say something of it to an outfit officer and go from warpgated to warpgating in 2 hours while earning 50 certs. Not much to shoot, but good to practice pilot skill, and tonnes of certs.

I find that amerish tends to flip back and forth with one faction conquering it and then getting bored and leaving, then another faction takes notice and repeats.

[miauw62]

True. Indar has very defined "default" faction borders, but Amerish seems to always be 3/4th one faction and 1/4th the others.

Speaking of SC, all vehicle weapons are 15% off today. If you've been on the fence about spending money, do it. I picked up the A2A missiles for my Scythe and dogfighting went from tedious and chancy to near-guaranteed success (mostly because most pilots are bad at it). In about 30 minutes flying around warpgated Esamir, I bagged 6 ESFs and 2 fully loaded libs, and a few assists when people suicided or bailed, as well as around a dozen infantry kills as icing. Even better is if you have your 'next weapon' in a convenient location so you can switch, fire off a gun mag, then switch back as your A2A finishes reloading.

[Knight of Fools]

Or you could wait until tomorrow and essentially get 66% percent off of everything.

I'm planning on dropping $30 or so, because it'll magically turn into 9000 SC or something.

[Flying Dice]

Ah, I just noticed that! I think I might do the same.

[Glowcat]

Actually, for some reason the 3x SC sale is today, as in active right now.

...And I just spent way too much freaking money. But on the bright side I finally have a Dalton on my liberator!

[BuriBuriZaemon]

Any recommendations what to buy for Engineer and Heavy Assault player?

[Toaster]

While I might be persuaded to spend money during a sale (especially a very good one), I can't justify spending money on a game I can barely run.

Maybe when I finally get upgraded...
