Also those Auraxium Sniper Rifles just utterly blow the Railjack out of the water lol

edit - hahahaha holy poo poo. The Tempest looks like it's going to be a Cyclone w/ HVA, exmags, and a special barrel that improves ADS accuracy at the cost of more vertical recoil (as it stands SMGs do not get more accurate when ADSing).

It's going to go from "the Cyclone is our best CQC carbine haha" to "the Tempest is our best close range carbine, period. (also it's available to all classes)

After reading that I'm happy I decided on a whim after I auraxed the SAW to stop using it and go for EM6 and GD-22 ones rather than any other weapon classes. Looks like I'm going to be playing HA for ever.

I have to actually use the EM1 now though, ugh. Oh, and the NS-15, but I'm totally OK with that.

I've honestly hardly ever had a problem. Are VS a special kind of poo poo with it or something? You can hit Enter on the Numpad and silence anyone who's being particularly shrill.

Almost all Prox Chat for me is people thanking me for Resses, apologizing for TK's and occasionally using it for communicating something useful. Maybe I lead a charmed life!

A good thing we get such heavy hitters as the Orion +15 rounds, while the NC get a loving 150 round LMG that still deals 200 damage. But my long reload you might say! It's a good thing you have 150 rounds of 200 damage bullets; reloading is for after the battle son, not during!

All I want to see happen is having an entire platoon with a single valkyrie pilot for every 2 mans, all engineers and dropping anti tank mines along a road that an enemy armor column is heading. I mean running out there on foot and you risk some heat sperg sniping you, instead get a bunch of valkyries to do a quick flyby dropping 4-8 mines per ship.


Or do what the NC does and replace gal with valks with an engineer passenger dropping his AT mines while a heavy is on the other side dropping his c4 then firing a rocket into the sundy.


EDIT: Also the justification of a longer reload time for more bullets (and even the highest damaging ones) sounds like something a TR player would unironically claim that their weapons aren't powerful.

All this talk of shooting ground targets with the Valkyrie, how's the Valkyrie gonna stand up to tank fire, how close does it have to fly to tanks, how useful are passengers going to be while shooting dumbfires at vehicles. You people are disappointing.

Your passengers should be G2A-equipped heavies making GBS threads on ESFs, and you should be using the guided missile to knock Liberators down. The "anti-air" Liberator is going to have nothing on this monster.

Did you say dual striker heavies with whatever you want as a gunner turret? I think you did.

Alternatively: a pair of Burster MAXes.

Maxes are explicitly disallowed from sitting in the door-gunner seats for this reason. Dual bursters or dual falcon/pounders were literally the first thing everyone thought of.

Have they confirmed MAXes can ride the Valkyrie yet? I had my doubts but after seeing how huge it is it looks like it could easily fit two maxes.

Also it's significantly worse than the Carnage in every single way except it's got ~100 dps on it. Not a good equation considering the Carnage has similar dps to the Cyclone

The thing I'm liking about it is I win a lot of "fair" fights with more skilled players, because I can totally kill a HA with NMG before they can kill me due to that extra 100 dps. I play really aggressively (recklessly), so being able to barge in places and not die to that poo poo is pretty exciting.

Hahaha yeah late night/early morning is really bad in about 9-10 hours from this post it will slowly begin to climb.

Why is every aurax gun a copy of each other? why cant we add some interesting things like different guns/attachments? Give the darkstar exmags/grip/comp then it would literally be the best VS guns cause seriously DPM. It would be better if you just chose the unique gun from each factions selection and made that special.

Higby since we are going to get all the directives in a huge lump once they get released can we get a detailed list so dont go running around not knowing we have these awesome loving camos/guns/titles unlocked because we just had 40 dumped on us?

I guarantee you those extra 15 rounds on the Orion will be the deciding factor more often than 50 extra rounds on the SAW.

I can't find a link or anything to an official post but I think it was something like auraxing five guns within their category; so auraxium medals on the Orion, SVA-88, Pulsar LSW, Ursa, and Flare unlock you the Betelgeuse for the LMG category.

It's the opposite actually. These weapons cannot be purchased with station cash. They are only unlocked by achieving the Auraxium directive related to their weapon, which requires auraxium medals with a certain number of guns of that type. For example, 5 auraxium medals for LMGs gets you the Auraxium LMG for your faction.

Lol I wish. They have no STARTING ADS spread, but they bloom like all the rest. They're only perfectly accurate if you fire them real slow, like a 167 battle rifle.

I'm a little worried that directives may significantly cut into SOE's revenue stream , because from my experience in other F2Ps autists will always choose the cosmetics you earn from performance over the ones you purchase. Biggest e-peen > biggest wallet. And a LOT of whales are also autists who will have a bunch of free swag unlocked soon.

On the other side, the Fortuna is basically my perfect carbine in every single aspect, it's eerily like it was designed personally for me. And I'm a paltry 3000-ish kills away from unlocking it :shepicide:

People say the Trac-5 and T5-AMC are solid but I dunno what they're smoking. The Lynx and Cougar are where it's at. One's the not quite as pretty twin of the TORQ and the others a Razor with exmags because TR don't give no fucks.

The Jaguar's only 250 certs if you want a cheap option though. It's nice enough.

They're pretty solid (Especially the Lynx, it's an SMG that was accidentally made into a carbine), but coming from the Mercenary and X11 on NC I can definitely see how you'd be underwhelmed; NC has the two best carbines in the game for sure.

Pretty sure the cheapest reflex sight is now 30 certs? Which actually seems like a really bad design choice on the dev's part. They really should have a few 5 cert options that the game just screams at you to buy in order to give new people the satisfaction of unlocking something right away, which would probably lead to more new people coming back because it felt like they progressed early on.

I'm not saying the Trac-5 and T5-AMC are bad, they're fine. But we have the Lynx so there's really no reason to use the Trac-5 and the Cougar is the best for being a tree dwelling rear end in a top hat.

The T5-AMC is almost identical stat wise to the NS-11C and no one's going out of their way to push that gun on anyone.

Some of the sights on the Default Guns are 5 certs, though it's really random to which ones they are.
