ok.. first some history.. i first got into mmo's threw UO and then EQ... whent to DAOC.. then Eve... currently im only playing EVE and i plan to continue playing it :angel:
But.. im missing the RPG realms... and stumbled onto Neocron threw Fileplanet. Figured i'd give it a try.. and like any veteran MMO Player while the game is buisy patching.. i whent threw the forum to studdy up on the classes/skills and whatnot.. and stumbled onto a Class/Profession guide.
and here's what i found in it that 'fits' what im after...
Driver:
What You'll Love: At the upper levels, a combat team with big vehicles pretty much owns the Wastelands, at least until someone shows up with anti-vehicle rocket launchers. There is an interesting variety of vehicles to operate, too, and more being added.
What You'll Hate: First of all, do not become a driver if you have a low frustration threshold, because this is the buggiest part of the game. Secondly, until you get to the mid level, there is no way to get XP for driving, so what you really are until then is a soldier or an infiltrator. (In fact, for PE, starting as a soldier makes a lot of sense. See below.)
Private Eye, Spy, or Tank? As a Tank, you lack the intelligence to drive anything more complicated than a jeep. Be a soldier instead, and be a gunner for the real drivers; if you want a jeep or a motorcycle, you can spend the Vehicle Combat skill points later. As a Private Eye, you can only operate ground vehicles, but you have the potential to be a gunner for those vehicles as well. Since gunners need the same skills as soldiers, it may actually make more sense for a PE driver to start as a soldier and pick up the Vehicle Combat points when they have dexterity points to spare. As a Spy, you can operate any vehicle in the game, including flying vehicles ... but can't gun almost any of them. Outside your vehicle, you're halfway helpess (especially if you're a pilot), and that limits leveling opportunities a lot.
Soldier (aka H-C Tank or H-C Private Eye):
What You'll Love: Really Big Guns. Also, you have more hit points and armor than some buildings.
What You'll Hate: You suck at everything but combat, which leaves you almost completely dependent on others for support roles. So you better really, really like combat, because that's almost all you're ever going to do.
Private Eye or Tank? Private eye soldiers don't get to use the best weapons, but they have the potential to have enough intelligence or psi to have some actual alternatives to straight combat. Only tank soldiers can operate the highest level weapons, including aircraft bomb/gun positions.
Now.. as ive been up for like 14 hours i dun wanna make a major screwup when i create/start my character ... What im looking for is the ability to be 'decent' in non-vehical combat.. BUT be able to drive any of the ground vehicals and use their guns as well (and possibly 'gun' for the flying veh's as well?)
Now if im reading the above 'snippit' correctly.. i'll want to be a Private Eye/Driver/Soldier?
Now as i cant even get into the game yet... (still patching) What do i need to do to turn out as a chracter like 'that'.. and are their any 'tips' on spending skill points as im playing?
any answers will be greatly apreciated :)
and ok.. so it wasnt a quick question... :lol: I tried to make it a quick one. ;)
