> First and foremost, I'm a somewhat horrible aim (been a console gamer my whole life)
PS2 was my first FPS on PC, I to came from the low slums of console. In time you will understand how to maneveue and aim with the keyboard and mouse. It is much more consistent in comparison to a controller. In time you will improve.
> Orion more controllable/accurate?
The Orion is the best gun in the game. Slap a forward grip and a sight on it. You will learn to love it.
> What exactly are outfits
An outfit is a clan/organisation/guild. Essentially a group of people who play together and share the same values I guess.
> why join one over a squad?
There is no right or wrong answer in whether to join an outfit. Some people prefer to solo, but I would suggest trying to find an outfit that suits your playstyle. In doing this you get to join their 'organised' outfit squads. A lot of the public squads that are run today are by low level public players who do not understand the game very well so that is why many people join outfits.
> what is/would be the most n00b friendly VS outfit?
If there were to be outfits on VS for a new player I would suggest adding a guy by the name of ThatBaddyAsVanu, he runs training squads each sunday for new players. Outfits that are active and show the basics include [TROL] Trojan Trolls, [EDG3] EDG3 Gaming, [TAW8] The Art of Warfare Planetside 2 8th Battalion and [DENT] Delitescent Few.
Happy hunting my friend, if you have any more questions I am sure everyone on this sub is more than willing to help.
Cool stuff man! A couple of pointers/exercises, if you're keen:
Make your logo header into a hyperlink back to the Home page.

I put everything on the highest settings in-game (high/ultra) and set renderquality to 2.0 in the useroptions.ini for 4x supersampling.
So that's 4k res downscaled to 1920x1080. Done on my GTX 580 but I just got my GTX 970 today so I'm going to try even more supersampling once the drivers for it are out.
Shots in-game were taken with either a 2x or 6x scope with a variety of FOVs to get nice close ups. Some shots had a sunderer with it's lights on outside of the shot to fake key or rim lighting so characters have some nice depth to them.
I either use uncompressed Steam screenshots on set up/staged shots or record to my SSD with obs at an insanely high bitrate and use potplayer to scrub through it and render out single frames to try and get action shots (let's me ignore timing and find the perfect frame with muzzle flashes and explosions etc).
I used fraps set to screenshot every 1 second for the TR squad picture because Steam overlay wasn't working and I was too lazy to setup obs and scrub through gigs of video. Fraps screenshots are horribly compressed and artifacted D:!
I found the keyboard tool here https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/tool-streamkb-onscreen-keyboard.4789/ and it has worked best out of a few I tried.
To record, I have to run planetside windowed, because fullscreen effs up window capture. After troubleshooting for a while I've settled on running two OBS instances (type " -multi" in the app properties), one of which records the game and the other the keyboard. This means I can only manage 30fps recording.
Then you end up with two recordings, which I would advise you to give the same name with only the timestamp differing between them. Then in the editing process you have to manually sync them up, which I do by matching audio cues (typically m20 mustang bursts).
Hmm interesting.
Hehe, I must have shouted BS on TS atleast half dozen times. :p
Here's the recent 2 day old cloak bug thread. Appreciated if you could post your viewpoint.

Just putting it out there for everyone else that Insurgency 4packs are currently on Humble Bundle, so you can grab 4 copies for a buck.
Handed my copies out to a few GAB people and getting ready to micspam so much fucking nasheed.
Kits already made some pretty impressive art. see? And no, none of that is from before they fixed the knife. 80% of her playtime on that cahracter is holding out a knife. Lol.
5cott pls be master bashidonet and use da ICE counter bricks. [ICE] has included a complimentary brick for only 0.420$$ and will continue maitaining da ice cold times for all times.

I believe most of the software on your computer - Microsoft does a "Compatibility check", but from the people that I've talked to it doesn't find many that you can keep.
If you do need to reinstall, https://ninite.com/ is a personal favourite.
Try this as an alternative https://obsproject.com/ it's free. How to use replay buffer https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-use-the-replay-buffer.103/ like shadowplay. You can use this when shadowplay is not working. Hope this helps ;)
Reading his linked in profile.

He seems to be fairly raw in solid experience.
I'm sure that his supervisors will keep close eye on him and SC will survive.
I vote /u/Sen7ryGun to be in charge of making a community post centered around crusading to Connery (or where-ever FNO ends up being) on Saturday morning.
Edit: Forum post for upcoming FNO (server TBD). Countdown timer to start of stream.
Yeah I feel a bit cheap these days where most of the work is done for you and all you have to do is solder a couple wires and your done. Some of the technology that has come out in the last year has revolutionalised the sport/industry.
Like check this out. https://www.banggood.com/F4-V5PRO-Flight-Controller-5_8G-40CH-025200600mW-Switchable-FPV-Transmitte-w-5V-BEC-OSD-PDB-p-1136342.html?rmmds=search
It has a video transmitter, flight controller and power distribution board all in one unit! + betaflight OSD
Hats off to this guy, http://www.planetside2.com/players/#!/7672482752231870993/killboard who looks like he spent the night dying, spawning and dying straight away. Check the timestamps.
As far as lazy Sunday sessions go that is one on of the most brutal I've seen.
And is it correct that the list says 1486 players logged in during the 2hrs of that alert and either died or killed someone. I assume that doesnt count alts collecting certs either.
One day, can we get everyone on to stay logged in at the same time.

use that instead, records and compresses so you can upload straight to youtube, can also be used to stream.
sample footage: https://youtu.be/R7pawpYQ1b0?t=16m10s taken at 4000 kbps record quality (this used 1.5gb HD space per hour of footage)
I did not need to convert the file format OR edit the footage in any way.
Occasionally use ProXPN but from Thailand. I don't notice much difference with or without. Except that sometimes you get unlubricated arse fuck routing out of Thailand, and switching to a VPN can resolve that.
Their Oz server is in Sydney, so if you live in say Perth or something it might be worse for you.
Not saying it's a great service

Mine's a 27" with GSync.
Pros:
Big screen is nais.
Going from 60hz to 144hz is a difference like night and day.
4k resolution is fancy, but you need a motherfucker of a CPU/GPU combo (1050ti does not have enough balls) to run ps2 at high frames in 4k (text becomes teeny teeny tiny).
Got a hella fully sik deal on it and paid $330 on secondhand market.
Cons:
If you can't get a sik deal it's gonna hurt in the wallet.
I find the GSync almost completely useless (This one's a personal preference, screen-tearing has never really bothered me).
DisplayPort connection only (HDMI to DisplayPort converters leave you capped at 30fps unless you buy what's called an "active" HDMI->DisplayPort which will set you back $120-$150 which is cooked).
Props to you Hazmat for asking good questions!
Axis has probably nailed it on the outfit/teamwork front as well.
VS outfits/leaders that I can think of that voluntarily do pubby platoons would be:
Shortydont, Fiogazm, [SWOA] (Skywhales)
Brickhouse, [TOR] (The Art of Warfare)
Jigglypuffatron, [TROL] (Trojan Trolls)
Deathonlegs, (???)
the ghost of Unbless, (Emerald)
TheAhTheSage, [DENT]
and whoever I forcibly nominate for lead whenever I go have dinner, usually MasterHentai

In game the outfit was created Nov 21, 2012. However a lot of organisation went into forming it during beta amongst the TAW community.
Around June/July of this year a few members we absorbed from VFD implosion finally joined as full members.
Been chugging along nicely ever since launch :)
Zedge (for any android).
And this is fucking amazing - Authentic Weather.
And high five! I've had my S6 for 2 months. Love it compared to my old iPhone 5S.
