NC on Ceres but I'm happy to change if I can play with other people.
That sounds hilarious, how exactly did you work it then? and what happened.

Our outfit leader made an NC chara and their leader made a TR one, they then joined each outfits teamspeak and ran each others outfits as they would there own.
I think we had 2 full platoons and aircon on last night, so the PHX guy was in charge of our full outfit, giving orders to our platoon leaders etc etc.

I done some stupid stuff as well that was a proper meet /palmface, most often flying sideways into a tree or some other stupid object.
Yeah, rendering distance is totally god damn aweful and you know the best thing? The infantry saw you MILES away while you can only see them when you can see the whites of their eyes, this is where I think the term "lolpodders" came from because we have to hover and get that freaking close to see any targets.
God I would love a bomb on my ESF so I can do high speed fly-overs.
Just looked on my stats, I have a total of 89 hours in my Mossy. lol
Miller and Woodman are the two biggest EU servers in that order, so I would recommend you quickly change to them (I play Miller on TR). Or try them to see how they compare.

Yeah it's a strange one. The rendering should be 2 way but it just isn't sometimes, can't wait for the update.
I think i'm going to save up and buy rocket pods with certs.. Should have saved my last load, had 600 or so and spent them all now i'm back to almost 400. Dunno, i like A2A missiles so much i don't know if i would even use pods much... Although i'm running out of other stuff to buy that i feel would make a worthwhile difference. The expensive cert upgrades for infantry i can't see making as much difference and i rarely bother with armour.
18/147 hours in a reaver. Although only started using it more recently. Getting pretty decent at flying if i say so myself but still get outplayed quite a bit by good pilots (in their far more manoeuvrable mossies usually
)

I would really highly recommend you spend a little cash for the RocketPods. I really do hate spending money for these sort of things but RocketPods really do make a giant world of difference and you can spend them 700 certs in upgrading them, first upgrades should be NV (50) then extra ammo.

True and so tempting but i'll really hate myself for it.
I forgot you can buy 500, i already have 200 so thats persuaded me.

Don't think there is an OcUK outfit, but plenty of people scattered across all factions/eu servers. As Ironwarrior said earlier Miller and Woodman are most populated eu servers in that order.
Most Ocukers and old PS1 players are on MILLER. Miller is the busiest server.
Had great fun yesterday with a squad interdicting everything leaving Zurvan. Standing on the cliffs above looking into the bowl of Zurvan at sunset was simply stunning and just reminded me why I love the game so much.
You miss a lot if you don't join a squad though. With a good bunch of people and good leadership the game becomes epic - one of the best mulitplayer games ever and the only one to offer anything on this scale in terms of FPS.

It's mega frustrating when it's going wrong for your squad/platoon though. Being a couple of squads vs 30+ tanks, and 50 to 100 infantry zerg (at least) is not fun. Sometimes the only option is to let them have the bases ( 
) and let them fade out or get separated in their objective (Unless you have a choke point you get flanked easily with this number of guys).
Eventually turning it around, and completely cutting the enemy off and then wiping them out from the rear... priceless

If everyone is so spread out I might just stay on Cobalt for now, only BR6 at the moment.
I'm NC on Cobalt too. If you ever fancy squadding up, feel free to add me to your friends list. In-game I'm Vertakill.

Whenever I play, it's with my outfit though!

Zurvan is nice but it's deadly for my FPS if am in a Mossy, ground warfare is just as bad but I don't often end up crashing into some rock due to low FPS while doing my best to evade incoming fire.
