This is like. 95% of all bases. Just gotta know how to get in is all.

Right now bases have either 1 or 3 capture points, all of which are meant to be captured by infantry. I think it would be a fun experiment if there were a base where a point were capturable by air, and a different base where a point were capturable by vehicles. People point out that non-infantry stuff is pointless for capturing bases, and that's absolutely true, but it would be neat if they could play more of a role in certain bases / situation.

If it comboed with the ANT / NTU / whatever they're maybe gonna introduce if they ever patch this dead game, it could make things interesting.

If 50% of your XP comes from kills and assists you've a farm factor of 1. The higher it is the more you're farming kills instead of doing literally anything else.

It's not that important really.

I have a Farm Factor of 0.254 on MostlyFans, because I'm guessing shared vechicle XP doesn't count as a kill and I live in Harassers and Sunderers. Also it turns out leading a Squad gives a poo poo ton of XP.

Well, I play Light Assault more than any other class combined and all you do with that class is kill things so that's probably why.

Holiday Weekend Patch Day Extravaganza

NEW EMPIRE SPECIFIC ANTI VEHICLE WEAPONS (MBT/HARASSER)
  • NC - M96 Mjolnir: Affectionately referred to as "The Boombox" by many NC soldiers, the Mjolnir's burst fire explosive rounds excel against armored targets in close quarters engagements.
  • TR - MR11 Gatekeeper: Based on a modified Fracture design, the Gatekeeper retains the feel of its forerunner but incorporates a faster fire rate and projectile speed while increasing overall accuracy.
  • VS - Aphelion VEX-4: This experimental laser weapon can tear through enemies with sustained fire, but an interesting side effect causes a build-up of residual energy while firing that can be harnessed into a devastating blast.
NEW NS LOCK-ON ROCKET LAUNCHER
  • NS R3 Swarm: The three round clip-fed NSR3 Swarm's relatively low velocity lock-on rockets are capable of tracking targets for an extended period of time. Variable fire modes provide the user extended control over missile velocities, allowing them to tailor the strength of the weapon to their engagement.
UI
  • Lock-on missiles in air actively tracking you now have unique audio and hud element; additionally the number of missiles actively tracking you is now displayed on the HUD.
  • Large outposts will now display capture progress differently, there is no more half way point, the capture progress will be displayed and a constant tug of war bar. This also represents a small mechanic change with three-way fights, the third faction can now steal total capture progress from the original attacking force. Once we are confident this is a positive change all small outposts and facilities will be switched over to it as well.
  • Missions that direct you to a base now have god beams.

GAMEPLAY
  • Cut off regions no longer contribute towards territorial control percentage required to capture the continent; this also applies to alert victories

BALANCE CHANGES

Tank primary weapon projectile velocities have been increased to match the armor piercing velocity:
  • Vanguard: Titan-150 HE projectile velocity increased from 175 to 275
  • Vanguard: Titan-150 HEAT projectile velocity increased from 250 to 275
  • Prowler: P2-120 HE projectile velocity increased from 175 to 250
  • Prowler: P2-120 HEAT projectile velocity increased from 225 to 250
  • Magrider: Supernova VPC projectile velocity increased from 175 to 225
  • Magrider: Supernova PC projectile velocity increased from 200 to 225
  • Lightning: L100 Python HE projectile velocity increased from 175 to 225
  • Lightning: L100 Python HEAT projectile velocity increased from 200 to 225

Striker changes:
  • ADS COF recoil decreased from 0.2 to 0.1
  • ADS Standing COF decreased from 0.5 to 0.25
  • ADS crouch walking COF decreased from 1.0 to 0.5
MISC
  • Created a new directive under basic to join an outfit, add 10 friends, and unlock the outfit decal item.
BUG FIXES
  • Player shield bug speculative fix. PS-1165[1]
  • Resupplying at a terminal and immediately cloaking causes cloaking to be unable to be manually turned off. PS-1545[2]
  • AM7 Archer sounds muffled when holding breath. PS-1532[3]
  • Sensor shield 4 does not work when within 20 meters of a motion sensor. PS-1485[4]
  • Fixed issue with Eclipse VE3A (and a number of other guns) not remaining in loadout when switching continent and log-in. PS-1292[5]
  • Player Studio decal polish.
  • Composite Armor decal fixes. PS-735[6]
  • Fixed issue where base Turret Kills/Vehicle Kills didn't count towards Launcher Directive/Medals. PS-1610[7]
  • Fixed issue where character would continuously firing their weapon in 3P if fired his weapon before entering and exiting a cloaked Sunderer.PS-844 seems to be the closest, although old[8]
  • Fixed issue where when two or [more] missiles were locked onto your vehicle and you use flares to drop them, the lock on audio would persist forever.
  • Misc art fixes to various decals, helmets, foliage, etc.
  • Fixed issue where the default voice pack could not be re-equipped once the user equips another VO pack. PS-1511[9]
  • Fixed issue where the Eclipse VE3A didn't stay in the vanu light assault loadout, it reverts to default. [I'm having a deja-vu here...]

Well the striker isn't a standard lock-on anymore its a fire and forget. I'm guessing this just makes mag dumps with the striker more consistent? Maybe it makes hip firing at ground more effective? Not sure though, haven't used the striker since it changed its playstyle from being a better annhilator.

Yep. Maybe they'll dole out some OT for the inevitable saturday hotfix crew? Probably not... Labor Day weekend is kinda a big deal here in the states. Its like they've never heard of read-only friday.

Edit: That said I didn't notice anything glaringly wrong on PTS the few times I've been on in the past week to test the new vehicle secondaries. So hopefully nothing major crops up?

That's what I meant; in it's current state, as long as you're aiming close to the target the homing function should do the rest. A recoil of .2 shouldn't make much of a difference.

The Striker still only homes in on nearby airborne targets, right? Ground vehicles still require manual aim, so any buff to being able to dump a mag more accurately is welcome.

Mjolnir is good and fun and has a surprisingly long useful range.

Aphelion is irrelevant unless they're using the wave which makes it really scary.

I didn't get to bother the TR yet. :(

So what is the general consensus on the new weapons? I am very tempted to pick up the new launcher as I just love annoying vehicles/aircraft with random lock-on missiles from nowhere but I am on the fence about the new MBT secondaries. I am thinking I may pick up the Mjolnir for my max stealth Harasser.

How much Daybreak cash are they wanting for the Swarm launcher anyway?

It doesn't coyote-in to ground targets. This makes it so it's better at hitting ground targets at long range I guess.

I saw exactly that and rapidly bought all 3. Had to rapidly retrain myself to get in close with the vanny rather than snipe, though.

Cobalt at least is absolutely making GBS threads the bed tonight, dunno about the other ones.
