a lot of contradictions I see here in the Forums, 106 hours and you hardly ever use Rail, what if you use it profusely how many hours

I didn’t say I never used it. I said I don’t use it now.

Don’t give it to him, give it to ME. I don’t have a single hull alt and the only alt I’ve ever gotten from a cont was round destabilization - and I hardly ever use Rail. ofc , if you could that is.

At least you have Rail.

I don't have mammoth and I'm not buying one to go with a resistance I can buy with crystals.

How so? [...]

The Alteration updates play in favour of players with access to crystals. Turret Augments are part of the game, I can't ignore them. If they ar enot helping me then I should not buy any them. Right?

All I am saying is that crystals are scarce, and that you should spend wisely. There are many ways to spend wisely and it has to take into account the player game-play strategy. 

I look at the Cost/Benefit and I personally think that investing in Drones is like filling a well with no bottom. I bought an Alterations once (one time payment), a few month later it was boosted into an Augment and it gives me an edge every second in battle (with no added cost).

Sure you should buy them if you can afford them.

But they help buyers more.

With augments available in the game the power gap between P2W and F2P widens.  You buying the odd augment here and there just mitigates that widening power gap a little.

True, true. Honestly, duelling others with augments isn't too much of a big deal, but the only issue I have is duking it out with a Vulcan with heat immunity or resistance brandishing its incendiary band. A stream of flaming lead flying everywhere, yikes. Yes, it's really frustrating seeing how much more powerful p2w players are nowadays and we can't really do much about it. I can manage because I had a uber-powerful combo before the Mk conversion update, and I have Mk 5-5 hunter with 6-8 smoky. Don't know how long that trusty tank will last me but it's not slacking off anytime soon. Sadly for others though, that may not be the case.

My F. Marshal account is doing ok as I lucked out with the m-mk conversion and I bought a boat-load of alterations before they doubled the price.

But new players joining today... yikes.  No idea why they would stay after getting placed against tanks 8 ranks above them and getting stomped into the ground.

True, I hate when some non-buyer player bragging about his garage... while he just stuck in the same ranks and bought the Augments before the new prices also his garage is upgraded before the m-mk conversion...

No, I don't want to waste my time with MU's before Mk7, also I ranked up much ranks after Mk conversion (first days of 2020)

I think they’re a bit ok with tht cuz there is increased exp gain. If not they’d have to wait a looong time to get to higher ranks. Plus there are lot more ways of earning crystals.

What's the hurry?  Low to mid ranks have always been the most fun.  Just gets so ridiculous when every 2nd player you face has Defender drone equipped.

Ranking up too fast just means you get stomped earlier.

Plus... everyone seems to ignore the fact that new players (not new alts) need time to build skills.  Rank up too fast and you do not have game experience to compete properly.

High ranks are fun too, but mid ranks, don’t get me wrong they were very fun too but they were mostly about trying to rank up soon to get m3 equipment. Lieutenant General used to be the aim in order to unlock product kits. Competing against players with m3 equipment was felt in the mid ranks before as well.

Agreed on tht.

If the rank-spreads were tightened up a bit as they should be it would not be as common.

Plus you don't have to face as many fully upgraded Defender drones in mid-ranks.  Plop a Defender on the Hopper now and they just cap at will.  It's kind of silly.  That was never part of the low-to-mid ranks.
