1) Please explain how flux grenade splash radius works. If I drop one at the feet of three enemies standing within the radius, does each of them receive 1200HP shield damage? Or is the total damage spread out among all the people in the radius, like 400HP damage to each instead?

2) This might be psychological but it seems that increasing stamina also increases throw distance - both for equipment droppables and grenades. Can you confirm or refute this?

3) Sniper rifles - do advanced types have larger hitboxes than militia variants? Some kind of AOE sniper rifle? Or you always need a body hit to do damage?

4) Is there any way to increase your standard movement speed if you are loaded up with heavy plating? It seems that Cardiac Regulators and Kinetic Catalyzers only affect sprint, not standard movement.

Thanks in advance for your answers. Sorry I don't have any nonsensical questions to offer.

So my question is: What is the best dropsuit for a assault guy like me

imo you're in the perfect position for a meta-game assault player, CCP is probably going to do something to help solidly define the roles between assault and logi and its probably going to be within a couple months. the players who specced logi at that point will either be stuck as one or have to spend more sp to become assault again.

as for being a sniper i'd say you'd want to spec into a basic logi so you can carry hives and an uplink on you're first life. and whatever suit you wish afterwards.]]>

ambush more or less is designed to be quicker paced matches with fewer wp obtaining things (objectives and other hackables) ambush is great for those who need isk but for people searching for more sp then your better suited in a skirmish match]]>

Rather than asking why does this person feel they are qualified to answer questions, I am more inclined to read their answers and determine from the evidence provided whether this person is qualified.

So far I donGt see any problems with the information provided. Furthermore, if he has indeed played since the beginning of the closed Beta, then that would make him more qualified than most. It would also give him a longer term perspective of the game.

Finally, an Ask Me Anything thread might cut down on the amount of threads on this forum by consolidating many of the question posts into one thread.

improvements? graphics, skill system, wallet,star map, squad mechanics.

i think that some guns need re-looking at, like the hmg and the md/lr. the hmg didn't need a range and damage nerf. the md sights are apparently really bad, and personally since the lr has no kick it should be a low damage high range weapon.

tanks in general need looking at. and lavs neeto be heavier, i like the rolling but its too easy to do.

i also feel like theres something wrong with orbitals, frequently with them i've called it in on an objective to only kill like 20% of the guys there. the only time they feel truly working is when they drop on an open area.

there are no very bad changes in uprising imo the game has taken a solid step forward.

though the hit detect is still spotty at times.]]>

why is uprising so broken for tanks and shield vehicles. i am asking how did CCP and fanfeast players not see the broken mechanics and thought it was ok.


i stopped being a tank driver for that reason. though vehicle controls were supposed to be tweaked with uprising there has definitely been a distinct reduction in the amount of tanks i've seen.

the only advice i can give if your going to drive tanks is dont try to fit mlt ones. it's not worth calling in until you get atleast to a gunnloggi with adv mods and turrets. and don't forget the resistance amplifiers]]>

i didn't realise that there was a committee to gain a licence to help people.

i see an ability to give aid to the newer players by virtue of experience with the game, if you find that egotistical then that is your opinion.

and i do find and answer questions through these forums but i find it easier and less time intensive to be able to access questions and answer them through one medium. and all i care about is that the help is given. others are welcomed to answer as well.

what WP is or what it does

WP = War Points. You get it for doing **** inside battles. When your squad earns 2,500 WP total, you get an orbital bombardment. More WP means you make more SP and get more ISK at the end. I do not quite know exactly how the ISK is calculated at the end, but more WP will get more ISK than someone with no WP.

what OMS means

Ambush OMS means you have structures in it. For instance, you have turrets and supply depots. Many guys with HAVs try to avoid this so that it's harder for people to kill them. If you're infantry, this mode usually works out better, but then again you run into squads from good corps who are lazy and also do not want to run into decent HAVs.

They disabled it for now. It didn't do anything before anyways. In the next build, it will show you lots of stuff, and let corps attack other districts/planets to control them, or just to attack because it's fun.
