Hello everyone,

To keep things short, we have been discussing with the outfits in The Cobalt Alliance on creating a new outfit together, at first this wasn't really a thing we had in our heads. But in the last couple of weeks we haven't had a lot of new recruits for any of the Outfits. Mainly because there are couple of outfits (no members of the Cobalt Alliance) in our server that have a really agressive way of recruiting in-game and they are not members of the "Cobalt Alliance" organization.

As we are always aiming on keeping this game fun to all of you guys and to form a big group of nice people we eventually decided to create a new outfit. As most of these people are on Teamspeak you will get the following advantages:

• Bigger member-counts means more new active members (snowball-effect)
  
• Multiple leaders of the former outfits combined who are all capable of leading and organizing stuff.
  
• 24/7 active squads and platoons of our Outfit with capable leaders.
  
• The outfit can be divided in different divisions. Like air support, armor and infantry divisions. We can also give these divisions an honorable name regarding our former outfits, like 301st Airborne Division and/or Lambda Division.
  
• Well organized as everyone is on Teamspeak.
  
• Getting to know new people outside your own outfit, then we'll create a bigger and better community around us automaticaly.
  
• We can then organize bigger and more epic events.
  
• Multiple members with a variety of skills in our outfit who can manage the forumposts, make promotional videos for the outfit, organize stuff et cetera.
  
• And the list goes on and on...

The outfit is called:
Kinetic Armament Industries

The tag is:
KAIN

Hello everyone,

I'm planning on making a news collumn every week on thursday, so everyone will be up-to-date when it comes to our Outfit and the game(s) itself. Enjoy reading!

Double xp/sc weekend (Easter Event)
Luperza: "Get your Station Cash ready! I can confirm to you that yes, we will have a double SC and double XP weekend." (source[www.planetside-universe.com])
So my suggestion to you guys, get your credit-card ready, buy a decent amount of SC and get those lovely weapons you were dreaming off all the time. A couple of recommended items:

• Skyguard (for the lightning)
  
• Zepher/Dalton (liberator)
  
• Phoenix (camera-guided RPG), or Annihalator (all-round guided), or crow (vehicle guided)
  
• Rocket Pods (for the reaver)
  
• Walkers or Rangers (for the sunderer)
  
• Secondary Burster for Max (mossies and scythes will fall down like flies)
  
• AV-Turret (for the engineer)
  
• SMG's (all infantry-classes)
  
• Also keep an eye out for the big Infantry bundles/vehicle bundles.

I suggest to use you SC for the expensive weapons (700 SC/1.000 certs), also try you weapons in the Training Facility first before buying. Another tip: If you buy the not-empire-specific weapons with Station Cash, you can also use them on your other characters. ES (empire-specific) weapons will be available on all characters of the same faction off course. Buying with certs only makes it available to that character you unlocked it with.

Outfit Specialization
As you might know we are at the moment an all-round outfit when it comes to strategy and tactics. Something that's not really a problem as long as we're having fun. But, as I noticed on the Roadmap[www.planetside2.com] lately. It seems like we're getting a new progression system for outfits somewhere in june. (For more information see: Outfit Progression[forums.station.sony.com])
If this comes out, we will probably be forced to specialize our outfit in a way. For example: Specializing in a strong armor division with vanguards, skyguards and sundies. On the other side, maby this is not the case and you get some general benefits to choose from for you outfit.

So my question to you, members of the outfit is: Where do you think we should specialize in, or shall we just keep it the way it is now? (for disccusion join this thread)

Training Day
We are also thinking about organizing a training day for all members once in a month. We still have a lot of members not knowing what to do when it comes to the little details off attacking or defending a base. For instance: keeping an eye on enemy engineers close to a friendly sunderer.
As these are things that can be learned to everyone who is willing to and increase the fun in playing this game, I would like to organize a training day in the Training Facility and show some of the tactics that are possible. (for disccussion join this thread)

TeamSpeak 3
One last important thing I want to add, we still have a lot of members who don't use TeamSpeak. We are going to make this mandatory for our outfit, so please download and join us on TS. It is always nice and cozy with friendly people to talk with. Just don't be afraid of talking in English. If you think you suck at it, don't feel ashamed. We are glad to help you getting better at it. (You can find all the information for TS you need on the main page of this group)

Thanks for reading!

Hello everyone. As you might have noticed, we are now part of the NC Cobalt Alliance[forums.station.sony.com]. This is like the name says a group of different outfits in our server who like to team up and have fun together. They also have a teamspeakserver, open for members to join, just let them know from which outfit you are. Teamspeakserver: 85.236.100.188:12267
We will mostly play on saturdays and sundays with them.

Another important announcement. In the upcoming week I'm going to do a little cleanup of our outfit, this means that I'm deleting all non-active accounts from our list (not logged in: 30 days or more). We are also planning on making this outfit a Teamspeak only outfit. But this will be done in little steps and we know there are exceptions like "Mullerice" who can't run TeamSpeak, still I ask, please try to solve this. ( Download TS here[www.teamspeak.com]) Anyways if you are someone who is trying to listen and coöperate you don't have to be afraid of being kicked out of the outfit. However, keep in mind that people who ARE on teamspeak will get an advantage when it comes to joining our closed CLST squads.

Last remark, the names of our outfit ranks will also change this week. Right now it was soldier, officer, squad leader, admin, clan leader. Those are going to change so don't think you are demoted or promoted without a reason.

Thanks for reading, that's all...

Next week a couple of the low populated servers will merge together, including Cobalt and Lithcorp. Lithcorp will then dissappear and everyone on that server will be moved to Cobalt. This hopefully means more epic battles on all 3 continents.
