3: NC, TR and Vanu

I don't know what's going on but I have been experiencing HORRIBLE rubberbanding on Matherson all day. My connection tests great, my system has always been great in this game. I don't get it.

Hold on, and believe me when I say that this is of vital importance: Did you see any blue turtle shells?

Am I missing a meme or something?

In the Mario Kart series of games you can pick up one use items like weapons or speed boosts. The item you get is randomised but weighted depending on your position. In the more recent games there is an item that looks like a blue turtle shell which automatically seeks out the whoever is in the lead and pretty much puts him in last place. Once in last place you start getting speed boosting items or even blue shells. Ultimately you end up rubber banding between first and last place.

Thank you for clearing that up!

Anyone know much about the development plans? As it stands, we were  discussing setting up a commisiarrat (and yes, in my mind they should have hats if we can wrangle it) over mumble to keep the troops in line while we have the rts'ers in charge of strategy. (We're vanu, sadly enough ).

[PTTG??]

Vanu scum!

Ahem. What sort of items are must buys for engineers, or anyone on the NC side? Is the Rebel (I think that's the pistol) any good at all?

You want the GD-7F

[Siquo]

Tank mines, and upgrade repair gun.

[miauw62]

Is the GD-7F currently on sale or something?

[Satarus]

For engie, I'd say pick up tank mines and/or anti personel mines.  Load out depending on what you are attacking/defending.  Sticking an anti-personel mine on an objective is hilarious.  It's also great fun to sneak up on enemy MBTs and toss a couple mines or drop them on main roads in Amerish.

I'd also prioritize your repair tool upgrades.  You also have a tough call on your suit slot.  Explosive resistance is great for when you are mainly working on vehicles and turrets and getting hit by artillery/rockets.  Health or shield recharge are better for infantry fights.

GD-7F was on sale yesterday. First gun I bought with SC, and I don't regret it at all.

Right now infantry-vehicle combat is pretty unbalanced, all things considered. Anti-tank mines are only good if you can sneak up on an enemy tank, and you're likely to get killed if they're even slightly aware of their surroundings or have any buddies nearby. If you really want to go anti-vehicle infantry, go with the default Heavy or Light Assault with C4. Or, do what you're "supposed" to do and get your own vehicle.

Engineers make one of the meanest Anti-Infantry classes, though. Unlimited ammo with ammo packs, anti-infantry mines, ability to use shotguns and carbines... They're beasts if you play them smart.

Are the sales listed anywhere online?  I heard rumors of a MAX pack and I'd like to see what's in it.

On the main page of the in-game store.

I meant somewhere on a webpage- I know that one.

Man, why does NC always seem to be loosing horribly?

Because RoF is the current king of infantry combat?

Or at least in close quarters. I find NC to be pretty decent if not the best at medium to long range. Or maybe other players suck at long range shots and I win effortlessly anyway, hmm.
Either way, nearly all default NC guns suck in close quarters, wich due the way vehicles dominate any open space is primarely the kind of encounter you'll find yourself in.
