So what would be the go-to AA weapon for Mosquitoes now? I was under the impression Needler was fine, but now I'm not sure with this patch.

Also, if I'm reading right, they've completely neutered whatever AA abilities Harasser might've had? (What little there was.)

The rotary and needler still work the same against aircraft but hteir damage against tanks and infantry got lowered.
Apparently hitting infantry will do 200 damage on both rotary and needler... obviously making the rotary the superior weapon against infantry again since both are now useless against anything heavier than a harraser so might as well go for the higher RoF gun.

The vulcan effective range got changed from 200 meters to 10 meters.
I'm sorry for all those suckers who bought it because soon basilisk will be the no.1 secondary on all vehicles.

Oh well another reason to be happy i only spent certs on a skyguard lightening... hopefully they won't make it unable to hit aircraft because it's was overpowered against infantry.

Is it? It can kill quite well in close but the only infantry that needs to go that close is c4 guys and then they gotta blame themself.

Skyguard has horrible accuracy (more or less like hipfire form an LMG) so yeah only LAs and the more desperate HA/Engies ever get close enough for it to be effective.

I must say that the Gatecrasher module, while a ton of fun on the Harasser, is now probably just suicide with the armor and repair changes.  Too bad.

Prowler HE canon damage against tanks buffed AP and HEAT nerfed.

I was going to say "so were the others" but then I noticed this:

P2-120 AP

    Direct hit damage reduced from 1200 to 1250

Looks like SOE math means this was reduced by negative 50.

I'm glad to see my HE Lightning getting a little buff.

Awesome, just updated the game two days ago and there's already another Gigabyte and a half to download. So glad I tried to get back into the game again.

Random question, has anyone else had the spanner icon on the launchpad that let you see server status/validate files/etc disappear following the latest patch?

[Toaster]

Mine's still there.

[Metalax]

Ah found out what was causing it. When I closed the PS2 window after it hung at 96% due to the servers not having come back up, it apparently didn't actually close the program and that icon does not appear on the launchpad if you open it while there is an instance of the game running. Killed the program through task manager and the icon reappeared on the launchpad.

I enjoyed the Gauss Burst before now, if only at long ranges, but now it's a consistently viable weapon. Pretty happy about that, since it won't be a pain to get an auraxium medal for it now.

[Ozyton]

Is there any reason to use the burst variants as opposed to the default or S variant?

[Jim Groovester]

Less horizontal recoil, more accurate moving ADS fire, now more accurate standing ADS fire, HVA, CoF resets after each burst.

They're technically straight upgrades. The only issue is that while burst firing the first shot recoil multiplier is applied over and over which makes accurate aiming somewhat difficult. If you can compensate for that, then they're worth using.

I use the TRAC-5B regularly and I like it well enough, but I can't stand the T1B Cycler.

[Ozyton]

When the patch rolled out there was a bug that was effecting all the servers so they shut them down again for a hotfix. Since then the servers have been 'locked' so you can't play. Hopefully it'll be up tomorrow/soon (depending on timezones)

[Ozyton]

So my server got unlocked and I was going to do the biolab alert and then call it a night, but then I tried to redeploy to Indar with the new warpgate deploy thing and it said server disconnect, and server unavailable... According to the thing at the top of the forums says it's not locked so...

The holiday sale with the ridiculous member sales is live. I now have Harasser Lumifiber for all three factions!

I haven't even put a single cert into a Harasser, but how could I resist making my Harasser look ridiculously gaudy for naught but three SC?

In case you were wondering, you get the 500 SC upfront, immediately on purchasing membership.

[zombat]

Its worth mentioning again that if you have a subscription already and buy another months subscription through the station control website you'll get another 500 sc upfront as an 'up sale' bonus, you'll then get another 500 cash a month later as the normal subscription benifit.

If you're planning to keep a long subscription it works out much better to buy multiple single month subscriptions than the bulk month deals

[Toaster]

I'll probably get member and buy it anyway, but putting Harasser Lumifiber on sale right after nerfing it into the ground is a bit insulting.
