Yep. The default Sundie turrets are mediocre at everything, including AA. Incidentally, if anyone hasn't unlocked the mobile spawnpoint cert for it, do so. I was making something like 0.33-0.5 certs/minute just from having my Sundie deployed close to the target of a zerg, which adds up more than it initially sounds like, considering that the only effort I made was pulling it and deploying it. It's free exp for a relatively low amount of certs and a minute or two of driving.

If you didn't see, apparently Total Biscuit is the leader of the TR, officially endorsed by Planetside 2. The other factions have leaders that I've not heard of. This development puzzles me.

You have never heard of Seananners???

its like 250 xp for 1 cert isnt it? That means 125 players need to spawn on it before you get 1 cert.

Oh so that's why some idiot always parks a sundy under the biolab dome rather than next to one of the anti-gravity elevators. To get people to spawn in it and get certs, regardless of the fact that it actually does harm to assault when people spawn there. Y'know, because it's the closest to the dome in which they died but not necessarily the closest to the actual entry point into the dome. Sneaky.

To be fair, the anti-grav elevators are mostly useless unless you already have control over a sizeable chunk of the bio lab. They give the defenders a good second or two of potshot time before you land, and even then you're a distance from any useful cover.

You want to attack a biolab, you use one of the teleport facilities. Sure, the spawn room doors are easily camped, but it's still a lot safer than doing the lemming leap into a half-dozen MANA turrets.

Hey, Redoktober, if someone can invite me to the outfit.

Nope. Assumed he did gaming videos like Total Biscuit. I think I've heard the name of the VS guy, but never seen any videos. I don't watch much of that stuff, I guess.

Actually, I very rarely see that happen in biolabs. Because most people are bright enough to realize that a Sundie under the lab will leave them facing a long run to get to the battle, and conversely most people realize that they'll get more spawns on a Sundie parked next to one of the teleporter rooms.

Incidentally, a suggestion which might help balance air would be to change flares so that they can only be rearmed by returning to a landing pad.

Damn it, now I'm torn. I love playing VS, but I hate Seananners for attracting so many morons to TTT.

I'd still like to be invited if there's any B12 in an outfit for the VS on Waterson.  Send to character "PentaGrand".

My mistake, I misinterpreted an earlier post.

On another note, I think I've found my calling (other than piloting ESF, that is). I picked up the VS bolt-action sniper rifle that was on sale a day or two ago (But it's not really bolt-action! There's no bolt; the only action your character performs to prep for the next shot is spinning the battery! There's no round to be chambered. Don't call things what they aren't, SOE. :V) and happened to decided to snipe during a large 3-way battle over a tech plant. It took me a few minutes to learn it, but once I did it was immensely satisfying and quite rewarding in terms of certs as well. :3

G2A is largely playing a deterrent. Me and a squaddy went burster-MAX and cleared the skies of 3 libs and a few reavers, not by killing them, just damaging them enough to make them nervous and leave. Which was enough to let the main zerg proceed (3 libs vs zerg == dead zerg). They came back with tanks, and we eventually lost, but the point remains that G2A has its use, even if it doesn't gain you certs.

My main complaint with the game remains that doing anything that's actually useful isn't rewarded very much.
