Wait, does that mean you don't have to get on daily to collect it as it goes on your account all the time or is the daily login I do every day needed?

It is not daily, but you still need to connect from time to time I guess. I do connect almost everyday, but I'm only playing my VS character. Meanwhile, my TR character still rack up passive certs. (I guess. To be undoutably confirmed, but I dont see why not.)

Yeah, the time-based certs collect regardless of whether or not you're online, IIRC. That aside, I could easily have enough certs to unlock 1k weapons if I didn't spend them all on upgrades.

weapon unlocks are weapon specific, so the upgrades you get for the base carbine are available for both the LA and the engi (tested). I think you still have to unlock the weapon first though. Dunno. Haven't played anything but LA since I got my new gun.

Any weapon you unlock will be available for any class that can use it, and any attachments you unlock for a given weapon are available for all classes that use it.

The video itself is the most hilarious PS2-related video I ever seen.
And the music itself is pretty good, surprisingly. Gives a more optimistic tone. Throw out the lyrics for a minimum seriousness, and I support this fully  :D
Actually, is it possible to remake the trailer with the music of the "more accurate" video (no lyrics), and the speech of the original? 'cuz that would be mighty awesome!

Any way that works, because that song is catchy as all get-out.

You have to log in every 24 hours to get your passive certs. I have a VS and a TR that just sit around, and they've each got about 300 certs from logging in each day. They don't get more than 12 certs at a time, though, and the passive cert rate is 1 cert every 2 hours. I used to log in with just my NC, and they did not get their passive certs, and the number of passive certs gained between log ins never went above 12.

So, yeah, you need to log in every day with each character to get passive certs.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.

I've discovered a decent way to earn exp is to get in a flash, and just run out to whatever's about to be captured.  250 exp for being in the area.  AA duty is also decent, you get exp for partial damage.

Speaking of AA duty, I was in a Skyguard column last night.  Let me put it this way:


VS Liberator:  "Oh look!  An armor column!  I think I will fly in close and get easy kills!"

Skyguard Column: Holding fire  "Wait... now!"  Dakka dakka dakka

VS Liberator:  "Oh sh-" Sound of explosion

If anyone has an account set up on the PS2 forums, someone over there just made a suggestion that could use some love.  :P

I dunno, this doesn't seem really appropriate for a theme song.

I think it'd be better if a NC/TR infil hacks a VS terminal, then not only does it change teams, but it also starts blaring out the song. Any VS nearby will suffer the double humiliation of not being able to spawn tanks, and having to listen to the entire song while they wait to be able to spawn tanks.

Furthermore, if a infiltrator hacks several terminals in close proximity, then they'll each start playing the song at separate times, overlapping one another and creating one big Okay To Be Gay cacophony.

Tonight I got front row seat to an NC aerial invasion force of the Crown.

I was on the north facing Phalanx turret shooting down a few Reavers here and there when a squadron of three opened fire on me. I shot one down, and then saw what they were escorting. Three Galaxies, and even more Reavers behind them.

Up until that point, the Crown had been relatively quiet. Afterwards, as the cliche goes, all hell broke loose.

It felt a little like this sitting in that turret.
