Onto Planetside: I like the vehicles. I like the Stealthy stuff. I dun' like the shooting. Guys with heavy gear and armor mow down everything and snipers are damned invincible from such a distance. Only at Battle Level 5, a Wraith and Infiltration Armor is all I got's so far. So I'll set most of my... er, diplomas... dedication... "those points" to manning vehicles.

Or something.

FGO - I think so

Tasmania - Back in your sanctuary, there are terminals in the main building (usually the biggest one).

They are:
Med Terminals -> heal yourself
Equipment Terminals -> get your gear
Certification Terminals -> get your certifications

Now, with certifications, you start out with 4 points and you get 1 point per Battle Rank (capping at 24 cause of Battle Rank 20). Now each certification allows you to do certain things (i.e. drive a vehicle, wear certain armor, use certain weapons, perform certain actions). These certification cost points (anywhere from 2-4). You can unlearn one cert per day, so feel free to experiment.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Oh....a good site for PlanetSide questions -> PlanetSide Stratics

Hmâ„¢, I completely went away from my original choice of being a pilot. Everyone else has their own vehicle and some have heavy transports.

Now I have a Mosquito, Infiltration Suit, and Sniper. I'm going to be a Stealth Killer, using the Force Blade and Bolt Rifle. I might get engineering, since there's a bunch of hackers and medics to aid vehicles and armor. But for now I'ma be sneaky.

the game is still going to make it's may 19 release date??

i don't want to pay the $7 at fileplanet to buy a beta only to have to buy the retail copy in 2 weeks?

or will the beta copy released now BE the retail copy for the continued amusement of the current beta peoples of the world??

No to your second question. Too close to call on your first. I would say worst case scenario, it'll be early June, but they could very well make 5/19.

Grudge, every timer you play planetside go on ventrillo. this way if anyone joins and we come in communication is so much easier.

I never play planetside with vent closed.
