The NC on Miller are really full of stupid players, even before the Alerts happened when TR was almost breaking the VS's lock the NC would screw things up by not attacking North and instead attack deep into TR when they could easy had helped.
So we find out today that the NC Max shield will disable weapons and only works at the front, sounds fair.
You need to understand that most of the decent NC outfits on Miller are sick of Indar to the point that we hardly play there. Sure when the TR were boasting about their early morning cap there was some effort to remove it but most of the time people prefer Esamir or Amerish because Indar is always the same, start taking things, somone takes the blackhole of farming (Crown/TI alloys) and all the retards flock to the farming spot leaving you short of manpower.
Some of us have been playing that map since beta started last august, it's just boring now has many flaws, too many stupid bases and needs changing. We do have organization between outfits via the NCTO (our version of TRAM), but as I said if it comes down to it we mostly choose somewhere other than Indar unless we have some special goal to achieve.
Also all factions have silly randoms or outfits who do what you described, for example whilst we were trying to remove the TR's lock on Indar the other week the VS kept trying to cut us off at our warpgate so we went back to take that and the TR pushed out on the east of the map.
Re Certs: Yeah well I think they messed up somewhere but at the end of the day having more certs doesn't really mean much other than having more options, it's not like they can suddenly start owning just because they have more guns. I can still kill those people just fine so I'm not too bothered and frankly if they did mess up with the cert granting I don't exactly want them taking certs away and then messing up there by taking certs that shouldn't be.
Max: Personally if the Max cannot fire when the shield is active then it should be like PS1 where the shield was a bubble around the max providing 360 degree protection. If it's just a frontal shield then frankly I doubt people will use it as charge will just be more useful as you'll be able to attack or retreat with it.
TR max in Burster mode sounds stupidly op, throw in the Vanu ability and the NC have the worst burster max.... to go with the worst tank and esf in many peoples opinion. But then vehicles need help, adding stuff like the Striker and this Max ability won't help, we need more tanks and aircraft not more AA or AV.
