I returned to the game recently and found that RaD was still operating and it was bigger than when I had to leave. Surprised how much preparation had been made for the upcoming steam launch and the likely influx of players. Initially I was worried that all they were doing was Alpha mining and PVE, but they are also stronger at PVP, and doing everything else an older corp does. Old and New leaders are all friendly and well experienced in their field. I definitely get a good vibe about RaD from old friends of other corps. Being in an Australian Timezone with odd working hours has not hindered my play style, as Rad has Members from across the globe, so it never goes to sleep. RaD has enemies and friends, just like everyone else, but I prefer to be on the independent third side, more room to grow.

Sure it will return to a safe alpha terminal, unless it is attacked before 14th april, or if you only wanted to wreak the surrounding turrets and buildings, attack before 20th april.

Maybe because players with a healer mentality want to be more useful in PVE as well as PVP? Why spec as a PVE healer when every ratter has a 2nd box? What about one Healer bot buffing more than one DPS bot? Inefficient with current buff mechanics, Symbionts only have 6 arms. Unless the buff mechanic was changed so RSA buff was twice as good as SA head mod and each DPS bot can only have either one RSA buff or two SA buffs, and each R.Repairer arm and each E.Transfer arm does double what it does at the moment, and each DPS bot can only accept one R.Repair OR one E.Transfer, then maybe each DPS bot doesn't need it's own follow bot for a perfect grouping. Either way it is too little too late IMHO to save the player who wants to be primary healer. Actually if my calculations are correct, two DPS bots still do more damage and are tougher than one DPS bot with a support bot. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Mirror link currently still older version of guide.
