I just got the free trial and I've been having trouble picking a class. What do you think would be the best one? I want a more combat oriented character. :confused:

From what I have seen, I think a Heavy Combat(H-C) or Melee Combat(M-C) tank is the best one for your first character. They seem to have a lot of fun, and get lots of new weapons earily on. Heavy Combat can go through really high level things like MC5 (With a healer with you), to get some really rare stuff, and does pretty good PVP. Melee Combat cant really go through that extreamly high level stuff (Even with a healer), but they do alot of damage PVP wise also.
I have done both, and I like Heavy Combat better.

imo you should go for a private eye. you are able to test different things.
you can do a lil bit hacking or implanting whatever..
the only thing a tank an do is shooting. not very interesting for new runners until neocron offers alot more then just killing :)

I'd say a pitol PE, they are easy to play, have enough CON for you to be a bit reckless and enough INT to try some stuff.

Also just ask for any advice here or in-game on the HELP channel, just be careful, some people like to pull yer leg.

Welcome to Neocron ;)

Start out as a NEXT driver, HC PE. By doing the Mr Jones quests, you'll get a Quad (http://nc.synergyxr.net/guides/professions/questinfo.php?profession=2) soon enough so you dont have to walk. Get a player constructed gren launcher (http://nc.synergyxr.net/weapons/?subcat=heavy) and do aggie missions in Plaza 2. They drop chest and legenforcement implants which you can sell to get some good starter money. In 2 hours I had about 30k. Do this until you get enough xp and money to get yourself a Combat Hovertec (http://nc.synergyxr.net/list.php?cat=vehicles). You'll get loads of XP killing stuff with a vehicle. At the bunker outside MB are mobs for the rank of **/25.

When finishing the NEXT epic (http://nc.synergyxr.net/guides/epics/epicinfo.php?faction=3) you'll get the Reveller (http://nc.synergyxr.net/list.php?cat=vehicles) which looks like the HH4x4 but is far better - and almost free to repair. At this point you should have enough skill to both drive and gun your vehicle.

Drive out to hunt warbots and firemobs for techparts. Sell those to players and you'll be the NC version of Bill Gate$ - then buy a Rhino (http://nc.synergyxr.net/list.php?cat=vehicles) just for fun.

An APU monk is also fun, but a bit harder..
