So I made a new character and was following the little tutorial like process that gives you few free things for doing it, I get in to my first game and spawn in my free militia gear. I gt blown up within the first 10 seconds by a incubus, a few spawns later I manage to get to the NULL cannon ( this is a domination game ) and there is a gunnlogi sitting there defending it. There should be some sort of SP limit for the battle academy, my only guess is that these guys let some character sit with passive SP on for quite a while, came back and were still in the battle academy.
Sorry for the little wall of text I dont usually post on the forums, but i just think there is something wrong with this.

Or 10,000 WP; which ever comes first.
Didnt know that, maybe some sort of cap that disallows certain vehicles, dropsuits, or weapons. Still kinda rediculous for a Incubus to be in a academy battle.

Nothing Certain wrote:Yes, there is a cap, which is way too low, but nothing that stops players from creating alts and playing there, in fact I don't think you can bypass it. Douchebags take advantage of this and mow down brand new players.
Yeah, I was just thinking, we were all getting slaughtered, I'm not a new player but i was still getting killed enough to just discourage me from continuing on that character for a little bit, I cant even imagine how the newer players feel.

Why? Vehicle pilots need the instant battle academy too. But I think what you are experiencing is how OP many vehicle are in 1.7. The vehicle buff coupled with the AV nerf that we just had is causing many matches to come down to whoever can field the most vehicles wins.
I can understand that, but a militia tank can do the same job as a standard tank, assault dropships, yeah theres no militia or standard version of this but costing 322k itself and probable around 350 - 400k to fit I dont think it should be allowed in the battle academy.
Another suggestion would be to add sort of tiers to the battle academy, if your automatically booted at 2m sp, you should play with players around were your SP is at. since all players start with 500k sp but probably dont invest it right away 0 invested sp - 700k invested sp, than 700k to 1m sp, some sort of system like this to give the truly new players practice. Starting a brand new game up that looks great and you hear lots of things about, only to get destroyed relentlessly may be appealing to some, but others may make them not want to play at all.
Again, this is just my opinion though.

Dust needs a tutorial rework like Eve got a year or two ago, PvE would help a bunch.
