If you are definetely wanting to run a battlebus wait for the certs you need for blockade armour. You will probably want to pick up the first level of ammo resupply and set up a sunderer with it in one of the additional loadout slots, so you have the option to spawn it, as an ammo sundy can make the difference in a succesful armour push.

I'm personally using mineguard. I haven't had it save my life. Yet.

So I probably missed this being posted and it's supposed to be fairly old news, but may as well repost in case anyone missed it.

Logging onto Free Realms or Clone Wars Adventures with your SOE account for the first time will grant to 85 Station Cash for each game. Free 170 Smedbucks. You only have to log into your account and accept the TOS, not even install the plugin (for Free Realms) or create a character.

Not that much use on it's own, but a nice little bonus.

Yes, all mineguard does is force me to use three AT mines when I'm blowing a Sundy instead of just two. A Sundy with maxed out mineguard is supposed to be able to survive a triple mine strike but I've yet to see one do so.

Cheers, didn't know about this one. Just did it now and it works fine.

It's generally anti-preventive mines. And not everybody certs into three mines. Also, where is that patch of "mines are only detonated upon motion instead of presence" that they announced?

I've really been thinking about getting the ammo resupply tough.

Pretty sure everyone just runs level 1 given it's cheap at 30 certs and enough to save you from many (most?) suicidal engineer rushes. Each level increases the number of mines by 1, then the last increases by another one on top of that for a max of seven. If I were pulling a Prowler with any regularity I'd go for at least rank two and many three. As it is I haven't even spawned a Sunderer since dropping the 30 for rank 1, so not worth it just yet for me.
Also, where is that patch of "mines are only detonated upon motion instead of presence" that they announced?
Was it actually announced or just something lots of people have been screaming for so long people assume it's becoming part of the game?

170 free SC would be nice since I have 1350- just shy of two 700 buys. Thanks!

"Near" means "within walking distance". When back facilities are taken I go get 'em back.
And even at The Crown I usually am in their base XD

The Crown and Allatum are probably the two most clusterfucky facilities in all of PS2. Only an outfit maxcrashing can take Allatum within a reasonable period of time, and the Crown is the Crown.

Then again, we did accidentally have lots of HA's, engies and MAXes...

Saw TE fucking with the NC at the Crown last night.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That went on for a good 10-15 seconds, and you can't see half the ones there because they were flickering in and out of visibility.
