20mil in SP
Basically filled out the majority of my skills for my assault AR class and support skills
Can run full proto gear in every match since i do have enough isk to lose
Now i really only have 2 options left, either go the anti vehicle route or go the tank route and while i skill for either i wont be much use until level 4 most likely
Ive realised i dont really want to do either because the majority of games i play im stuck with retards who just wont try or even bother having a mic, the ones which do have mics are awful and make ****** feedback noises which make them useless half the time and echo my own voice back to me through ther tv
Then i realise the enemy team are rolling around in 3 tanks, mauraders and my team being the bunch or dumbasses they are cannot even deal with them or even try to form a plan because they have no mics
I REALLY NEED GROUPING
So im with my AR suit simply because my milita AV stuff wont even scratch the paintwork but even my 600+ overall tank it means diddly **** next to all the missile turrets they have and thats no including the camping dropships on the towers which are more annoying, mainly because i cant see them but also the majority of the time the missiles hitting me have no explosion sound or any effects and the only way i know im getting hit is because my shield and armor are getting raped by an invisible force
If i do manage to survive that im constantly running around avoiding tanks while my team is mostly getting spawn raped and i know the match is a certain loss so its down to play for yourself and try not to die routine
So im left with either join the tanks group or try the AV route with me having to deal with the tanks on my own half the time
Now if i could group up with ppl i knew it would be more bareable because we can work to take out tham tank/s
Also tho i realised what a problem it is having camping dropships on towers because every ****** is doing it in all games, sure i cant see them but even if i could its still a problem overall and the current solution atm is to take your own dropship up and kill them unless they fly away and it becomes a dropship chase so you need a gunner and a guy with swarm launcher - grouping would also help in this scenario
So the camping dropship can fire his turrets at you while hes in park mode but i cant spawn on a dropship in park mode? eh it makes no sense to me, its like once you drop out of the pilot seat all the power to the CRU is turned off but yet the guns work. If i cant spawn why should you be able to fire your guns?
This brings me to the next problem, dropship pilots in general cant stay in the air for longer than 10secs without hitting the deck or parking on top of the towers which then turns off the CRU, its happened alot im ther ready to spawn 3secs left and they park it and i cant spawn ther so i have to wait another 10secs and its like wtf
Atm we really dont have a APC of sorts, i would like it if i could have a dropship with an active CRU even if you are in park mode (pilot has to be in pilot seat tho) but you would have no turrets as a consquence so you are purly for dropping ppl off and picking ppl up aka transport ship and for the trade off of no guns/defences the ship would also have a much larger tank so it can effectively do its job wihtout hitting the dec 5 secs after being ordered in
Now onto tanks
As i said im an assault guy with an AR built for mopping up the MI but when ther is 3-4 mauraders in the same game your kinda ****** in general and espc if they all have gunners meaning thers very little MI to shoot at and you cant really stop the tank unless its a milita fit
So really the only defensive i have is RE which need to be planted and try to lure the tank over em and i may do damage but it needs other ppl to help out - cant be refilled
AV nades hit n miss - cant be refilled
The thing i am missing is anti tank mines, put em in the equipment slots like RE are but allow them to be refilled by nanohives/supply depots so they are useful plus add in skills and you can have the diff mines like with all other weapons
Also with all vehicles with turrets add a cargohold, make them buy ammo for each turret and also make each turret have to hold a set amount of ammo ie 10 missiles then after they used them they have a 5sec reload time for example so its not constant missile spam
The map itself is very open and made for mostly vehicle combat with very few areas for MI vs MI unlike the last map and since the 1mil SP giveaway it seemes everyone has whacked it into tanks and seeing the tanks every game with idiot teams gets to you
TLDR? tough **** i dont care |

Anyway if ya feel like running with us be cool to have you along we are getting 4-8 peeps in every match all on coms. Cant get a full team cos its such a pain rigging the sides tbh. hehe anyway our lads keep an eye out for you because your a bugger to kill always nice having you as a hostile freindly either way
Most of em are waiting for grouping
I end up hitting EU server and not bothering with a mic and play my own game espc this weekend
By time grouping comes it will prob be in the next build

Just had this with agent smith (yes the KDR chump with less kills overall than I've got suicides) finally crashed my ship into his which left me in the red looking at his fat suit. He lost. I died in the red, he quit game. We won. I think benny hill music would make this game more fun.
I did that he was on my team but i thought he should die since he does **** all so i hijacked his ship and flew into the red zone and the ****** died then quit match like a ***** |

What about a scout runner that plants remote explosives on every objective?
What about a scout that runs, hidden in the hills, and plants drop uplinks?
What about a logistics merc that helps other mercs with supplies, revives, even hacking and the next build will bring a completely revamped logistics dropsuit.
You could also train up to use LAVs that are specialized in just speeding around and running people over. Sure, tanks can one-shot you, but tanks are slow and so are their turrets. My brother trained his character up for vehicles and fitted his Methana for speed. He then proceeded to drive deep into the RED ZONE where the enemy's default spawn point is, managed to run over a poor fellow who was waiting for his tank to be dropped in. He got in an out so quick that he had plenty of time to avoid the 20-second RED ZONE timer. A nano-fiber-fitted Methana can speed in and out so fast that Vin Diesel would be jealous. Oh, you can drift with them too.
I wonder if anyone has ever tried to ram into a tank with a Methana in an attempt to destroy. Suicide attacks are a legitimate strategy in DUST just like tower camping, spawn camping, using REs in place of assault rifles, using a dropship like you're ironing your clothes, running in circles in a scout suit against a heavy who can't turn to save his own life, running into a group of enemy mercs with a COOKED GRENADE like you're the Taliban, rigging an entire room with explosives with you in it as your enemies follow you in there (hell of an alternative to the Swarm Launcher abuse that existed in the pre-E3 build).
There is much more to learn about than just Assaults, AV's and Tanks.
Also, once Corporations are formed, another variable to the mathematical formula is added. Espionage and Sabotage. Just like in Eve Online, if you can't destroy your enemy with brute force, then destroy with deceit, deception, counter-intelligence, drama, or just get promoted to a high-ranking position with access to your corp's war chest and steal everything they own. Make them bleed before the fight even begins.
Sniper is useless, i have yet to see one good sniper in this game
Logi is crap atm, pointless trying to heal ppl atm and drop uplinks i can fit on my AR with tweeking but the suit itself is fairly weak and with so many tanks and heavys about you dont last
LAVs are not that specialized tbh, milita is good enough to get from A to B
Right now on this map its either tanks or AV and maybe AR when ther isnt enough tanks and dropships to blot out the sun |

So you are complaining about the fact that you invested too heavily too early into a [beta], and an incomplete build because, you somehow have WAY too much time on your hands? Funny. I got a good laugh out of this. It's fun to laugh at such trivial things.
Obv doesnt know how to read

Right now on this map its either tanks or AV and maybe AR when ther isnt enough tanks and dropships to blot out the sun Translation: I don't know how to play sniper, so it can't be done. Logi is crap in part because of incomplete support mechanics, but also partly because I'm bad at coordinating with my team to make myself useful. LAVs suck because I suck with them. Right now there's an imbalance in favour of vehicles and anti-vehicle builds, and I refuse to adapt my playstyle by preferentially targeting AV players who WILL be prevalent on the other team and making life easier for the vehicles my team provides. I'm also too proud of my skills in one area of the game to be willing to side-skill into another role.
Ther is no good snipers
Logi is crap because they can barely survive for 5mins and i can do logi in an assault with a better tank so i survive longer
LAV is a 4x4 which isnt hard to use and ther is no specialization with an LAV
Rest is gibberish while he obv didnt read the thread |

I nipped on for 1 hour and managed to have 4 games in EU skirmish
Every game had 1 tank, at least 3 games had 2 tanks and various dropships floating about
I quickly realised im being forced to play as Tank driver or an AV guy because ther seems to be no room for Assualt guys anymore
Sure you can play as assault and try to hack objectives and whatnot but you will constantly have to avoid at least 2 tanks and a shitload of heavys with either ARs or forge guns with non stop running about since spalsh damage is ******* huge and can take you out on the otherside of cover
Hell in those games it was no spawns left and getting out was a pain and dont try to take an objective because the entire enemy team and its 2 tanks will drop in on you just because everyone else seems to quit because they already know whats going to happen so they cut ther losses, every game ended up with less than 10ppl on my side when it was all tanks
Whoever said snipers are useful they are not, mostly because they dont have a OHK weapon to rely on and they have to accuratly hit 2 shots in rapid fire or at least follow a moving target after the 1st shot which 99.9% cannot do and they end up being useless
Whoever said logi suit will tank aswell as an assault suit they are also wrong, look at the stats in the marketplace and compare basic stats, i can do most logi things with the proto assault suit if i wanted tbh
With this map the sand is being removed from the box and in its place is 2 boxes tbh, AV or tank driver
Argue all you want but you know im ******* right, thers more tanks on the field of play with more heavys and forge guns ******* about and im seeing less MI unless its useless snipers or heavys with AR because they can tank

Uhm.. actually u can refill them at the Fitting Station. U just have to go in the Menu at the Station and select ur Dropsuite build.
Cant do tht when the tank retards destroy everything as usual
Even 5 RE knocked it down past shields into armor but without proper back up or an AV im ****** |

Once RE get hit i wont use them since i rarely do use them except on spawns but at least it will stop scouts running around using em instead of a gun tbh
AV nades i need to try also
AV route i may try today sadly |
