Trooper needs 5+ upgrades - but you can't really play DM without it or something similar. Makes a huge difference when re-spawning.

I haven't used stock since the new alterations came out. Already had autocannon and just bought incendiary and cryo. Depends on your objective. - Annoy enemies - autocanon - get more kills - incendiary - win CTF game - CRYO - hitting them with freeze from 70m as they run with flag is pretty funny.

Just finished weekly missions. First container opened was 300k crystal pack. 2nd was Visual Disruptor paint. Then I bought Owl m3, Smoky-incendiary, smoky-cryo. Still have > 300k crystals to MU 1 step for as many items as I can...

So you're joining the dark side eh? <_<

Maybe I'm just missing it - but - I see no mention of all drones (except Brutus) offering +1% to + 5% on attack and armor...

Don't do Thunder again. Branch and try Gauss or smoky (unless you have elsewhere as well)

Could also be the SHEER NUMBER OF HOURS he plays...

36 - what? :huh:

IMO Incendiary

Well once-upon-a-time Shafts had no laser and Vulcan had more impact than twins...

So... if I've had a TX account since the beginning, but did not play during that small window of time ... I get squat?

You and three other players maybe... go buy them with crystals and let the rest of us get something useful in containers.

So in a PERFECT world that Dictator could see 56 DD/DA/SB ... not that far from 60 claimed. But... how often is that gonna happen?

How many current MUs on your Thunder and how many MUs on your hull(s)?

How many times per battle can Dictator get OD (if it is generating lots of score)? 8 battles per hour (extremely lucky)? 60 seems like a BIG reach...

And - if it's RFM they must be reasonably close. They turn their back on you (because you're not an easy mark) and you blast them ;) Re-spawning certainly does not help recharge.

Between the "deserter" flagging, lack of maps and the need to play full-time to keep up any League advancement I quickly lost my desire to play. And my account was there from the beginning. Kept going downhill after day 1.

Probably true. But there needs to be a better way of scoring TDM. Player B is way more valuable to the team than player A in the example above. Maybe a positive differential gets awarded bonus points or something.

If your Isida is m2 6/10 I do not recommend you buy any m3 kit with Isida in it - all those crystals to make it 6/10 would be wasted. If you dislike Viking, Hunter might be better for you, especially if you like defense on modes like CTF. But keep in mind Hunter and Viking have almost same speed. Hornet is faster but - the hornet OD not all that great with turrets like Isida. Most players already don't equip modules against that so you do not gain a lot of benefits.

If battles are finishing early you will not be averaging 400 score each battle for long. Battles that finish early generate lower player scores.

Only consider an isida kit if you have not done many upgrades on your current Isida. NONE of the isida alterations are worth it. Stay with stock. Spend your crystals on upgrades or modules or work to another combo.

Just finished a CTF battle on Parma where other team won 5-0 because even half-way through it was 8 vs 2. 6 of my team was AWOL for 90% of the battle. Match Maker is complete Shyte.

when you get to the unlock rank for next m-level, if your current m-level is 10/10, you can upgrade to next m-level for free.

Problem is they didn't. Nerfing all Vulcan "overheat" damage is just criminal. They (stock vulcan's) are already being punished through self-damage. Devs were either lazy or incompetent or both.

I suspect the players who say it is "easy" are no-lifers. They spend way more time on TO than the average player. They really don't understand that applying a lot of effort (time) is not a real definition of "easy". Both my accounts play a lot of Pro-battles. Way more rewarding (fun-wise) than the grind MM has become. 3 (or even just 2) missions per day and I am done with MM.
