Cool!
In-game is Hanko. Was playing last night, going to take a while to get to remember names, so many!!!
Since the patch at the weekend my fps has dropped so much in big battles, anyone else notice this?
ok im confused. I start the game, select a class and all is well in my home base, i can run around shoot things etc So i deploy to a new base but pop up unarmed and no matter what i do i cant get a weapon on screen, running up to friendly tanks etc pressing E does nothing depsite it telling me to Press E to do stuff.
What am i missing here
What am i missing here
well im pressing 1,2,3 scrolling the mouse, i dont even run if i press shift. Its like youre in ghost mode or something
I had that a few times (fairly sure it's a bug), all you can do is run around, can't enter vehicles or access terminals. I solved it by either logging off and log back in again or, not tried this, might work if you redeploy on your map menu. Annoying bug, happened twice to me so far, once during deploying and once getting out of my magrider, couldn't get back in the bloody thing.
On a side note, any regular magriders here? I managed today, with a mate, unlock the highest level driver and gunner turret for the magrider. Bottom gun isn't that impressive tbh, does a nicer job vs cluttered infantrymen at close & medium range as it has a larger blast radius and more dmg vs infantry but its pretty awful vs armour, imo better sticking with the default driver turret and upgrade with certs. The gunner turret however is a different story, much more like the magrider was in PS1, long range, hard hitting, straight firing and even more accurate then the original magrider's gun, with zoom I can snipe infantry targets over huge range, as long as they standing still ofcourse, alas there is a big down side, the projectile of this weapon is rather slow moving especially when compared to the prowler and vanguard.
Me and a mate used to own in PS1 in magrider, the PS2 magrider was pretty disappointing when we both tried it for the first time but now we unlocked the highest gun, we starting to see the full potential of the magmover. Only gripe, as stated above, the projectile on this gun is a far to slow moving IMO, so it easily avoided by an enemy tank/vehicle if you're doing a 1 on 1 tank battle at medium and long range and their driver is looking directly at you. Seeing what the prowler and vanguard are capable of (both better armoured and heavier hitters then magrider at max cert), unless they speed up the projectile on the top accessible turret, it will cause the magmover to be a very weak tank in most battle situations. Still, its a beta and we have high hopes things will improve, hoping especially for the magrider pros and cons to be as they were in PS1, weaker armour then the other tanks, less hitting fire power but excels in maneuverability (can be used over water which atm is pointless as there is no water on the map we have seen so far) and the range/accuracy of its guns to be the best of all the tanks.
Vanu forever...

Would you recommend them then? I've been looking for squad to join.
Some really annoying bugs I've noticed:
1) Using a eng turret you can see the enemy but it either completely misses them, or it's just hitting an invisible barrier because you aren't on a flat surface, or 'near' to a wall.
2) Sometimes cross hairs don't shoot where you actually aim. (most common in vehicles)
3) I couldn't enter a building, was getting textures dissappearing and I couldn't get into other doors, other players were using them fine (even the same when I quit the game and went back in... weird)
4) Sometimes you just.. get stuck.
5) Haven't had it lately, but on occasion I've died from bailing from a galaxy when everyone else was fine.
Then game is SOOOO much fun in a squad... but often pants when lone wolf, unless there happen to be spawn beacons near you.
I notice that there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for max's, i.e. no one attempts to repair them, or heal them. Also.. how the hell do people actually get the Anti-air max's? I see them around but I cannot unlock the AA ??? (The certs don't even show up).

The game has got more and more buggy each fix. Now i regularly cant despawn, client crashes, lose my UI, raise my rocket launcher and it seems to be about 2 feet over my shoulder, have bits of galaxy hovering in front of the turrets, randomly 'suicide', its just gotten annoying. Looking forward to the new continent but stress test? seem lots of niggly stuff to sort out first.
Max AA - you have to buy the Burster for 8000 credits or thereabouts. Then you equip it and have much joy.

Yeah it's going good, I'm not sure how other ps2 clans do things but all seems good. Played with 30+ people last night.
New patch sounds fun. Map is going to be so busy with only 1 eu server although I suppose second map will lessen the effect.
Well yeah theres F2P, and then theres the stuff you want to unlock, which are the weapon/camo side of things, and the certifications, which are the perks side. Youll be able to use station cash for the unlocks but will need to build certs to get perks. They build painfully slowly.
Here is Higby's patch preview from last night for anyone that missed it, stayed up till 3am watching it, good thing I have no shifts today!

He shows some new side grade weapons and loads of Esamir. Check out the new continent terminal at 13.55 seconds, soooo sexy! Can you imagine loads of continents on that..drool.....

Will make nice dinner time viewing, cheers Nitram.
Cool, thanks for that
BTW... thought of another... external views on the galaxy when on a turret are flakey as hell.

I've been enjoying it so far, but have only had one game where the whole squad has been talking and the leader knew what he was doing. Why do people join squads then bugger off to the other side of the map.
I don't understand that either. I like squads that kick inactive/non-squad work peeps.
