The EM1 is pretty nice. It's what I've been using lately (used to use the 240 point one but it got hit with the nerf bat pretty hard). I have one set up with one of each upgrade - high velocity ammo, reflex sight, compensator, and extended magazine. It's an effective gun. I haven't tried the default one enough post-nerf to see how it compares after the changes, but the slower fire rate of the default one turned me off a bit. The increased damage may make up for it, I haven't tested it enough to know really.

The EM1 has some pretty accurate bursts now, even with the high velocity ammo. Can take people out at mid range pretty quick with it.

Nice.
I might give it a go, although it will take me a while to get it upgraded.

Thanks for that.

What about short range?
I found myself playing alot more HA lately, so i'm intrested too.

[Paul]

It's good short range too, generally the only guys that kill me short range are the shotgun users (unless they flank me, of course). Like I said I'm not sure how it compares to the basic SAW though, since I haven't bothered with it.

We could get together and do dps testing on it if we wanted to. A bit of friendly fire from the same distance with both guns to see how much shield they knock off, then compare the fire rate. I have all 3 heavy guns so we could test them all for that if we wanted. The EM1 seems to have low recoil going for it, which would have to be factored in for mid range, but for close up the DPS is all that matters.

Flares seem a little OP. Any time i fire at a scythe they just do flares and are gone. Apparantly they can be certed up to 15 seconds between uses.
:/

Yeah, makes AA missiles near useless unless you're en-masse. The one thing about them is that you're trading off ejection seats, so you either have to fly engineer and try not to die long enough to repair yourself or go light assault and lose the ability to repair yourself.

[Doomblade187]

Yeah, I have some questions about he first three guns on Medic and Light Assault myself. I was lucky enough to have my other char still around to get some HA and Medic testing in, but I just want some outside opinions on the guns. mainly, which one seems the most versatile?

If you fly Light assault you can purchase that one auto repair trait, I have it, it's nice.

I fly engy with flares, flares are almost a must and a captain goes down with its ship so i dont want ejection seats.

[Shadowlord]

They just sent 5 keys to $everyone. Not to mention the keys in the previous emails.

[Lectorog]

At this rate, there's no need to make the game public. So many keys.

[612DwarfAvenue]

So, anyone on Thebes? Preferably VS, though i can just create another character or two if most of you are in TR or NC.

Or are most of you on another server?

EDIT: Read the OP, answered my question. Jesus, we're spread out all over the place server-wise.

[TheBronzePickle]

Well, I have a feeling that battles over tech plants are going to be absolutely crazy now. The ability to take away enemy heavy armor is going to be too good to pass up.

I also predict lag-fests as 50 soldiers crowd around control nodes.

I'm glad to see SOE's pretty on top of things with these new changes, and not being afraid to flesh it out so close to release. I'm liking pretty much everything I see so far. Lots of people are griping about the health regeneration but I don't see it as much of a big deal, it only gives new players a bit of extra surviving power before they cert into the med kits, and it'll only be effective if you're extremely careful. It's also virtually pointless considering how effective medic healing is and the fact that armor/shield has a regenerating mechanic in the first place, meaning it doesn't change the outcome of a firefight.
