This just in from the Beta website!

"As of Friday April 11, 2003, the PlanetSide beta tester non-disclosure agreement has been lifted. Testers, feel free to tell friends, family and neighbors about the game and your experiences."

This must mean you guys in the big testing group should be getting your CD's soon (next week probably).

If anyone has any questions I can answer and still keep all my nose hair.

If you have no questions or no interest... bugger off then

Certification points...keep this in mind. You get 10 to use and only 10. Make sure you know what you want to be certified in before scrolling through the list. If you decide you missed something you need or want, you can "unlearn" the weapon, vehicle, armor, etc but it takes 24 hours before it clears and you can begin to learn something new.

NR

Also, If any of you become a pilot of the big transports...that would be a plus. Not many of the pilots on now are any good, they was a ton of time for a lot of players trying to get into a squad based attack using the transports.

I was in an attack once where the galaxy pilot decided after dropping his squad to go offensive in the galaxy. We non-squaddies all loaded up in all the manned gunner pods and did multiple passes over the base first showing one side then the other (I was the right side gunner) till all four gunners were out of ammo then we retreated for repairs and reloading (after we figgured out where the trunk of the galaxy was). It was actualy an effective weapon, we cleared the base walls of snipers and such and raised enough hell that the pilots squad was able to crush most of the defenders then hack the base.

After the first pass and the squad attack it was just a matter of keeping the enemy busy for a while and all was fine till 3 reapers got pissed at us.

The Galaxy is a very useful piece of equipment. If nothing else you can load an ANT on it and take it to the warp gate for refilling and then bring it right back to the base for resupply very fast. Seems a bit cheesy to me as it bypasses the disadvantage of having to manualy drive an ANT for resupply, I wonder if they will change it so that the ANT can not load on a Galaxy?

The Basalisk (quad runner with twin 12mm machine guns) is also an under rated piece of equipment. I have seen people just try to run over enemy rather than shoot them because they think the guns are crap. I think the guns are great and have racked up many kills with them. I like that little bike.
