Command Rank

[Deadmanwalking]

Right well after searching for a while on the offical PS bords i found mentions to but no actually facts. Command rank? What abilities are in and what are coming and when?

Im almost cr4 which means atm i can set waypoints and draw pretty pictures all over the map. Command channel and the CUD is useless now as i can only speak to cr3 comms (Of which i know of only 1 other).

I got the impression i should be able to Read/Jam enemy communications as well as broadcast to the whole continent of friendlies... none of the above are in

Any ideas?

Well someone suggested Orbital Strike for CR4, no idea tho.

Afaik, it's:

CR1 - Waypoints
CR2 - Command chat
CR3 - Battle Plans

CR4 - Orbital Strike?
CR5 - no idea

Think this is very much a "level and find out" thing.

Maybe post it here when you find out so that people can know in advance.

Well i know what *should* be in cr 4 is indeed orbital strike and cr5 is a much bigger strike. But i heard they had taken them out after beta....

atm at cr 3 i have the first function on my CUD the view friendlies jobbo u get at cr2, but also its 3rd function which is a dif animation yet it says "Command Uplink not available" Damnit sony

I actually found a link from beta with screenies of the help messages you get at each CR.

Just have to find the link now

Ahh. I believe we'd heard that they had that in beta, but no idea whether they've kept them in or not.

If they have taken them out, makes you wonder as to what they've replaced them with. It certainly SHOULD be something pretty good.

Mate, i will be pushing for top CR as soon as i get my br 20 ... the fair way that will take me another week. Ive got cr2 now but no space to carry the comm uplink.

 

[SilverHood]

use the uplink device DMW, it has 4 modes... 3rd one is jamming I think

 

[Deadmanwalking]

I know thats what im on about

1st one does somethign the friendlies on continent etc etc

the 3rd one has the animation etc etc but then has "Command Uplink Unavailable"


Erm ivan?

The fair way?

He means without bug abusing, but let's not start that topic up again

And I've personally never even gotten to CR1 on any char so I really shouldn't be discussing this as I have no idea what I'm talking about.. didn't even know the CUD had modes. :doh:

 

[old.ivan]

Fair way = no bug abuse

 

[Deadmanwalking]

Pfft hardly my fault those tanks are SO FAST YOU CAN'T RUN!

Ok from the official forums I can confer that CR is currently fucked and un-finished!

Here are some screenies of the CR's from BETA CR1-5 stuff

but they arent uptodate anymore.

 

[Deadmanwalking]

Hmm yeah i got to cr4 at beta on the very last few hours .... never got orbital or continent chat

 

[[PS]Nova]

And command chat isn't CR3 anymore it's CR2, because Venom has CR2 and can talk on the channel..... I think anyhow.

 

[Deadmanwalking]

Yeah its cr2 BUT a bug (how predictable) that means when atcr3 u can ONLY speak to other cr3 comms

Ahhhh thanks, was wondering about that when you posted that you could only talk to CR3 ppl.

Which empire are you?

There was an AMS (our empire) ramming me the other day in my lightning, I was sooo tempted to "slip" and kill him with my main cannon but decided against it. Those things have quite a few HP, think of the grief points.
