being a medic i guess that makes me a Repair/Defense kinda guy. but i will more than likely also work towards having some close combat skills too.

Well pilot isn't a skill class. Besides i'm hoping vehicles are somewhat limited so you can't only be a pilot.

I'm definitely a defensive specialist in most games to be sure.

Consistently top 5 scoring in T2 just doing base defenses. I cant wait to see the first victim wander into my carefully prepared gauntlet of pain.

MUAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA....

erm....sorry. a bit too much caffine this morning.
I'm better now.
:clap: :groovy: :rock: :wave: :D

Seems everyone is to scared to fight up close.

Then again if I had to fight me up close I'd be scared too :D

I would like to be covert operations, however I think I would be more effective in a battle as a combat pilot. Being an asset to my outfit/squad /empire is very important to me. I would be pretty good at covert Ops, but I think I could become a top tier fighter pilot in Planetside.

I want:

A big suit of armor.
A big messy machinegun.
A narrow hallway.
Some sissy light armored stealth type to walk around the corner.

Then I will be happy.

I think you've find that fighting up close with me will be a Bad Idea. Unless you like kissing tank bumbers, that is, in which case be my guest.

I figure the fastest way to get powerful with the fewest certs will be to get a vehicle cert. Based on what's now available, I'll go for the Lightening first.

So please, lets fight up close. I think you'll look great with a big tank tread-mark down the middle of your back... it really sets off the goo squirting out of your eye sockets.

Seems like this is headed for a BF1942 where everybody just dashes for vehicles and TK to get them.

Granted, I haven't kept up, but Back In The Day it was stated the vehicles were not free. They didn't just spawn on the battlefield and then you jumped in one.

First you'd have to get certified to drive the proper vehicle, apparently through an in-game test.

Then you have to spend some character-cash to purchase the vehicle, which is then yours. Presumedly similar to purchasing your weapons in Counterstrike.

Also apparently, enemy hackers can steal your vehicle if left unattended, but presumedly same-team hackers cannot, because that wouldn't make any sense from a game play perspective.

I wouldn't doubt if some vehicles are free, perhaps the quad-wheeled bike, for example, is something anyone can just run to the shop and pick up for a dime, but I'd be amazed if a tank was something freely available or "first come first served". Doling them out for cash would make much more sense. If you buy one, then immediately lose it, it's time to go frag some enemies the hard way til you can afford a new one.

I'm pretty sure there is no economy in this game, which is one of the biggest draws for me.

Why unregistered... what an ugly thing for you to say to me.

"I'm a Decepticon.. why would I lie?"

Perhaps you would lie to get your hands on another one of those pokemon mini-transformers.

Yeah a C&C:Renegade method would be cool.

You want that ultra heavy duty tank, go get some frags/cash.

I'm also sure i read somewhere that guns and vehicles would cost something. If not people would simply take the most powerful gun and tank all the time. Boring :rolleyes:

Vehicles dont just spawn, and there is no economy.

You must certify for a vehicle, then you can go get one. However, you cant just spawn one, go die one minute later then spawn another. They have put in place timers to prevent that. So the cost of a vehicle is "time" A vehicle that you spawn is YOURS, nobody else can pilot it unless you set permission to allow them. So there will be no running around TKing ala BF1942. Plus, you get grief points and get banned/trigger locked if you do that.

There was a bunch of discusison on vehicles and their cost in the recent Developer Chat:

Its near the bottom of page one
