I don't have any ship with REC. Since 2.6 it takes too long to earn REC with fighting. Vanduul swarm with the Delta takes me 80 minutes for maybe 1000 REC, I'm realy bad at racing, so I bought my weapons and don't go in AC. Infinite weapons :smile:
I agree the swarms take too long for what you get. I'm pretty sure the only thing holding me back from aceing the races is my lack of Nox but until that is disproved in 3.0 i've found you get a fair amount just for trying. Around 1000 rec for coming last in a 3 person race and 1600 if the 3rd person is even worse than you and you get second(I should point out that I have only finished one race and that took 18mins of very slow flying)
REC? Did someone say REC?

Racing has been a pretty consistent way for me to have enough REC to rent ships and play around with them. And I have *never* come in first unless everyone else crashes and/or drops out of the race. I'm worse a fighting the swarms.

I was under the impression that mission running was a good way to get rec. I thought I saw a mission that was only about 5 minutes and was worth 700? And you get to pick up weapons, booze too? Is that not a viable way to earn cash?

You can beat Vanduul swarm in a delta but can't race? Go rent a Gamma and race!

And you need to build a Sim Pit :slight_smile:
I have some good plans for a sim pit, if you are my size. I once calculated the cost afterwards, approximately 700 bucks

GodDAMMIT Tank, why'd you have to remind me. Haha

That's aUEC. In game currency.

REC is used on the website to rent ships and equipment to TEST in game. Well, in Arena Commander.

Take the cop out version like I am. Chair, sticks, and a Vive 2 for the best damn sim setup :)

Beware of 4 year olds who become aware that you can't see him if you're playing your game.

Last time I used REC to rent weapons I could test them in game, but not ships rented with REC, those were only in arena commander. It's been a month+ since I have been on though, so I wonder if they changed that you can't use weapons in game anymore.

I'm still waiting to hear about the "Moron Missiles" advertised in the thread title... If they do what it sounds like they do... TEST just might be immune!

Correct. Ships in AC only, weapons will follow soon, as aUEC will be your currency in 3.0, and they want you buying stuff and things from merchants.

. . . aUEC will be your currency in 3.0. . .
So basically you will be able to earn money doing things like missions, and rent ships and equip with whatever weapons you like, all with in game money? So for example, you can earn cash with missions, apply that to rent a Vanguard, equip it with whatever weapons you like, and fly more missions? All in 3.0?

Here is how I understand it, someone correct me if this is off.

REC can be earned in Arena Commander in certain areas, such as racing, swarms. Not in individual, it must be competitive. Those REC can be used in the Electronic Access store for renting stuff for (7) 24 hour periods. The stuff can only be used in Arena Commander, not in the PU (current exception is weapons, which can be used in the PU, but this goes away in 3.0 as noted by @Blind Owl)

aUEC (and eventually UEC) is earned for missions in the PU. These credits are used for in game purchases. I've not seen a store in game where I can rent items.

Correct good Sir. Thank for articulating better than I was able. A tip of the hat to you.
