I can't say about he game mode cause I haven't played it.

But

PT- read announcements because they said officer and experimental are the only things that will be tradable in the beginning.

And matchmaking, I know this may seem harsh, but try to get good. I can stomp protos with militia gear, only because I'm pretty good. Not as good as all my other veteran bretheren, but I'm still good.

I can't do the strafe wiggle crap because I don't understand how its done and also I think wiggling like a worm and dancing is a b$tch move...its something a sissy does instead of having a manly gun vs gun mono e mono showdown like a man

1) A big part of acquisition is to come up with ways to react to a changing situation. The team just needs to deal with vehicles or bring their own. Make a cheap plc and av grenade fit and you can chase away most havs.

2) Trading was limited, and announced, to experimental and officer while the feature is being tested by the mass of players. We plan on unlocking many more tradeable items as fast as we can.

3) faction skins have now been deployed, there was a slight miscommunication but that has been fixed. Pirate skins are in the strongbox

4) It is quite common that the first days after a new release, get quite competiive while veterans rage all around the battlegrounds. If you are good enough to be playing with them, limit your losses by using starter loadouts, and honestly, not meant in a bad way, practice. I am in the exact situation, doing terribly but, you know, every kill and hack counts. Sometimes playing support in these situations is fun, try a tank, do something different.

ACQUISITION:
-
This is basically whoever brings the tank or ADS wins. I played 5 matches this morning, all losses. Tanks roll on the field and sit right in front of the objective to be hacked and shoot you. When the objective changes, the tank just moves like 30-50km and rinse and repeat or the ADS flies overhead and shoots down ordinance on your face. This is worse than vehicles in ambush mode.

I vote NO vehicles except LAV's in acquisition mode.

Where is the daily aurum login?

Once this feature is released, mercenaries will finally be able to trade their earned Officer Gear, become middle men for Loyalty Store gear, and swap Experimental Gear with each other and any other ISK gear bought on the marketplace or salvaged from battles.

LOL

Confirmation that Rattati doesn't actually play this game.

can you people NOT read????? OMG
they are TESTING it out before all items are tradable! Officer weapons are in the highest demand..

What makes you say that?

I've actually seen him in game, and on top of that, his statement isn't wrong. Don't like vehicles everywhere? Bring AV and kill it. then die and get back in your AI suit and kill more people.

We all have (or had) a militia swarm suit handed to us when we started the game, it still works.

This would be OK if AV were effective against tanks, and they aren't.

You practically need a full squad working simultaneously for just one tank, and if you have multiples, or one to two mercs picking off easy AV pickings at the same time? You might as well quit the battle and find a different match.

That isn't balanced, that is broken.

GǪJudging solely from the post-feedback, I think I'm going to enjoy Acquisition matches a LOT.

Time and again, there are incidents/additions/changes in this game that painfully remind visitors/Newberrys/Vets/etc that this game is BEST played by persons who are GOOD at (or can LEARN to get good at) assessing an obstacle, quickly devising un-tradidtional solutions they never learned in other fps games, gaining confidence working with strangers on your team, and TEARING DOWN the obstacle FAST. The faster you can analyze and tear down the obstacle, the healthier and more frequently you win the matches (sometimes even WITHOUT a lot of assist from your teammates).

I'm as worthless as rubbish when it comes to racking up any kills for a Killboard or KDR,GǪ
but I'm a great LEARNER of how to quickly swap out tactics to keep a match fluid and winnable--and it's beginning to show in my match-wins tally.
Domination Matches, (even Ambush matches, if folks would only get the hint ), are really good at separating us into these two kinds of combat-players.

Just from reading about Acquisition Mode's design, some of us could tell that:
Having only ONE or TWO strategies for reaching targets unmolested AIN'T gonna make you adaptable in the match.
Sometimes you'll need to stay entirely up in DS's to beat the enemy to distant prizes.
Sometimes the prizes in a fight will be 10 feet from each other--and you foolishly bet all your success on waiting for the enemy become vulnerable after he remobilizes, instead of looking for a way to weaken his assets NOW and not wait for luck.

It sounds like Acquisition is is going to remind some of us again, how poor we are at surviving against a thinking opponent,GǪ and how many of us don't want to deal with the frustration of LEARNING to think-n-solve.
And QUICKLY,GǪ "ouch--ooch--hurry up! Ouch!"
