My current method of hacking is to run up to the consul, hit every button on my controller, maybe put a few rounds into the computer for good measure, and then run away. Twice consuls I attempted to hack have gone blue right after I left them, but I am not sure if it was due to something I did.

Anyway, since I have not yet found a post on this topic, I thought it was time for a stupid noob question.

Also, you can move around while hacking provided you stay close to the installation or control panel. Very helpful if a sniper is covering it.

+1 did not Know that, nice.

+1, that might have spared me a few respawns knowing

And here my fellow mercs is a prime example of a blueberry. Support proper 16 man Q syncing just for these guys to end up on the "other team" instead of my team.

Yup. As Noob as they come. First consul game. I figured that if I start in the bata maybe I will be competent by the time it goes live, and hopefully the terrible k/d record from my first weeks of floundering will be wiped as well. So far I have 1 kill and probably about 50 to 60 deaths.

By the time the game goes live I hope to have a wireless headset as well for proper coordination, but for now I am just trying to learn to shoot strait and figure out the other basics.

Does this game have any mechanism for matching opponents based on a similar total count of skill points between the two sides? If not, then it should have something like that, because I imagine dealing with new players would be a real pain for the vets.

I am guessing there are three type of new players in this bata:
- EVE players who canGÇÖt shoot straight.
- Consul plyers who donGÇÖt know how to fit a drop suit or where to assign their skill points.
- Eve players who also play consul FPSGÇÖ who hit the ground running.

I am one of those EVE players who canGÇÖt shoot straight.
