I'm not Judge, but I think the issue is fairly straightforward.
What do you consider as most important to yourself? either
a) getting a 500,000 SP head start into vehicles
or
b) Having a single UberChar that can do everything, anytime, anywhere
If 'b' isnt important to you, then seems like 'a' is a great choice.
Some people recommend setting up an entirely different PSN account, so you can have two chars collecting passive SP at the same time.

aaaah hell. Wish I saw this two days ago :(
I'm wondering though.
the problem is, unlike almost any other "shield vs armor" fitting... armor dropships, default to MORE BASE HP.
militia:
gorgon: 630+ 1530 = 2160HP
viper: 968 + 693 = 1652HP (SAY WHUUUT? yup. )
So even though viper gets that theoretical 20% resist for its shields... it starts with 24% LESS HP than the armor based.
Plus the armor based, has a higher Power Grid: 535 vs 395 ! (although less cpu)
(and oh by the way the armor based militia, comes with a free repper. Not so the shield based one)
Now lets compare high ends:
Assault
Incubus 700+1700= 2400HP
Python 1075 + 770=1845HP
So again, 24% less overall HP for shield based., plus significantly less power.
Now a particular note to Flibt:
If all you want to do is "learn how to fly a dropship"... then do it right now. Just buy a buncha militia dropships, that you dont need to invest ANY SP into, and fly em on some nice big Skirmish map that has some ignored area on it.
Note that it will take you probably at least 10 of these things to get to being even vaguely competant (ie: to the point where someone else might gamble flying with you).
So you really want to do that with a 70k ship, rather than a 300k ship, anyways ;) |
