[Ghryphen]

Now we need more favorites slots :o

[I Hate Pants]

*sigh* everyone is going to get the air cert

[Ghryphen]

I will definately be getting the Uni-MAX cert.

Not *necessarily* true. If they drop the reaver cost, then that reaver pilot who always wanted AMS + router will probably shell out for one because he's flat-out uninterested in the skeeter. That's why I'd rather see this system remain open ended. Leave the vehicles seperate, but give sets that offer a specific niche of players a discount.
Promotes "class" archetypes (Good for noobs to ease into the game while still clinging to their TF2, AA, and RtcW) but dosen't penalize someone for playing it their way.

More sets: Combat Medic:
Medical, Medium assault: Three points
Vehicle Corps:
Harasser, Lodestar, Engineering: Four points
Anti-Vehicular:
AV MAX, Anti-Vehicular (Requires Medium assault): Three points (Reduce Anti vehicular to 1 because you have to have Medium, and the game is more vehicle-centric lately)

Ok, I am extremely confused as to what you are saying then. Why would someone who already spends 4 cert points on a reaver not want to keep that cert because they can now also have a skeeter? Also, the Tactical Support cert already gives you the AMS and Router, so it's not being changed. But I agree, if they don't leave the current certs available a la carte, then that will suck bad.

[EarlyDawn]

I'm saying to *not keep * the standard reaver cert at four points. Make it two or three because of the abundance of AA and the AA MAX buffs lately. That way, someone who wished to maintain their Reaver could take it and not necessarily get a skeeter, but invest it in Support or add it with a free point and get Air support or something.

Hmmm could be good news or news for my reaver. If alot of people get the Uni-Max cert then there will be more maxs runnin around which means more 300+ xp kills for my reaver, but it will also mean more AA maxs which is not good.

[Strak]

Trading in the reaver cert? I think you guys might have missed the first part of the message....

Some certifications are being modified to become inclusive groupings of vehicles and equipment. When this change goes live, all players will have their certifications wiped: and will have the points available to spend at the Certification Terminal again.

We are all starting from scratch with allour pts. Kick ass!
