Had a decent turn out last week and I'd really like to see a sizable number of people out this weekend to get some mass unit tactics going. Id like to stick with magriders for another week since maintaining a tank column is fairly simple and straight forward. If enough people are still interested after this week we can move on to more advanced tactics like Gal Drops, Flanking, Gen Drops, and ultimately mixed units.
Some Copy-pasta for people who didn't come out last week
To make sure you don't accidentally speed hack and that the game runs stable, run the launchpad.exe and if necessary planetside.exe in compatibility mode for win98 or XP. If you have an AMD dual core processor, get this timer-fix. And if you have a QUAD CORE processor, when you start the game, alt tab out before you move at all and set the exe to single core affinity.
Server: Gemini
Faction: Vanu Soverignty
Certs Needed:
Armored Assault 1 (2 pts)
Armored Assault 2 (1 pt)
Engineer (3 pts)
If you have any points left over I recommend the following
Medium Assault (2 pts)
Any remaining points are yours to spend, since you have a fresh character for the first 7 days you can forget and relearn certs as often as you want, after that point you may forget a cert every 4 hours, or forget everything and that is on a 24 hour timer I believe.
Time: 7pm cst
Ventrilo is mandatory
If you make a character please post their in game name here
We will be running an organized tank column of Magriders . You can read a tactics guide here.

Fun in this game increases exponentially with the more people that join up so I hope to see more of the people that stated they were interested in the initial thread to come out, the game is FREE, but you are restricted to BR6. If you get "suspended" or banned since the trial accounts are loopholes just make another one. Conversely you can spend $20 to pick up the game at direct2drive, which comes with a free month, this removes the restriction on your battlerank.
