1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

Sorry to... whoever it is that I agreed to dogfight with, if I'm not responding it's because I'm probably in the middle of outfitthingy. In this case, the Massive Galaxy Crown Attack. Which was fun even though the VS won. Again. And KAIN decided to bring Reavers. Don't bring Reavers to a Galaxy fight guys. And if you do, make sure you bring enough

[TolyK]

Had fun ramming planes with my Galaxy, then repairing, then ramming. XD

I'm primarily playing as Vanu right now, and I have to say that I love the Thanatos with slug rounds. 3 shot kills from decent ranges make me happy.
3.4x scope to hit mid range targets, laser sight for close range targets, victory all around.

[TolyK]

Yeah, Thananos slugs are awesome. Esp. on light assault, where you can get to fun sniping places easier.
But with a 4x scope (the one with less stuff in the way >.>)

Well no, common sense would be aircrafts being up in the sky, not hugging the ground sitting under 100 meters all the time. Game needs incentive for air to be well...in the air.

Here's the problem.
Flying low - Bad because every infantryman tank and sundere will fire at you.
Flying high - Bad because AA will shoot at you from 500 meters away and you have no cover to break locks.

I know, I heard the vanu crashed that gal party. Not entirely sure what the plan was but apparently it went south pretty quickly.

Yep, you can thank lockons for that. Hey guys, let's have universal 500 range lockons, it sure won't be gamebreaking!
Let's also give a single faction an even better version of said universal lockon.
We'll also make it cost no resources to use and have heavies carry one around so they can use it whenever and it can be used en masse, yaay!
...yeah I dislike lockons. 

[Sonlirain]

Well they're nerfing lockons in a near patch... so yeah.

[zombat]

I tried the minichaingun today.

Oh what a beast, hip fire accuracy better than any other lmg, nearly as good as an smg.
And aimed fire maintains pretty good accuracy during the spin up phase so by tap fire or burst fire its pretty effective at medium range.

First part of the ESF updated pushed to PTS. Obviously not clear what is going to go live or be changed in the meantime. Not going to get into the ESF stuff as I don't use any of it. Still a couple of interesting points;

- Big buff to the Basilisk at range. Falloff is between 75 and 200m, and minimum damage is 200.
- Change to ammo belt cert lines, from 150/200/400/500 to 1/10/100/1000. So an overall discount but price spike on that last upgrade. If anyone happens to have rank 3 then buying rank 4 before the patch would be a good idea. The HA version is changing as well, from 200/500 to 50/500.
- Advanced shield capacitor is changing from 0.5s per rank to 0.8, giving you a 4 second faster shield recharge at rank 5. That suddenly looks a lot more attractive on light assaults and infiltrators, especially if it remains the cheapest suit slot to max out (ignoring the adrenaline pump) at 341 certs for the full line.
- Enemy explosives can be spotted.
- Amp station and tech plant cap times are decreased to 7 minutes. Biolabs are decreased to 7 minutes with a majority of points. Holding all points will supposedly be even faster. This is something I'm expecting to be changed a few times before going live though; biolab tweaks tend to end badly the first few attempts.

The bulk of NC on Miller tend to be stuck in entrenched biolab fights. Hopefully lower cap times will help some.

The bulk of everyone on everywhere tend to be stuck in entrenched biolab fights.

Granted, some populations are worse about getting stuck there and letting the third side go around and cap the rest of the continent out from under them.

A flyover of the new Esamir from the PTS.

A flyover of the new Esamir from the PTS.

That looks awesome!

[DJ]

That looks like it'll ruin my decent FPS on Esamir
