I'd stay away from them usually, even with both mods maxed out, his stealth lasts for a measly 3 seconds longer, 3.4 to be exact. So you get 9.4 seconds stealth for a whopping 22 mod points? even halved if you have the polarity it's still 12 cost for 3.4 seconds, not worth it imo. Use steamline/flow and you can stealth many many many more times for 6 seconds and this also benefits if you want/need to spam bladestorm/shuriken.

I got rid of his 2nd V polarity, Don't see the point in using continuity, for an extra second of stealth for so many points.. so I replaced it with a tactical one, I'm a huge fan of always having Flow/Streamline on all my frames to maximise their power use, though that's just personal preference.
All of his abilities are useful in their own right so keep them all on. He's fast so he gains a good benefit from Rush, So i have that on mine and I use him for any fast runs I need to do.I use vitality to get a bit of extra hp because it benefits him more than redirection would and maxed focus to make his first/fourth abilities hit harder. I'm also using the Rifle Amp Aura now until I decide if i'm going to forma him for an Energy Siphon.
That's just how I use him because i'm too lazy to configure him for each specific mission, I just want something all rounded, fast and deadly. I usually use Hek/Despair/Reaper Blade with mine.
-
Giving it some thought I don't mind this system, it is after all what the forma was meant for, to let us decide which thing we want. The Aura cards cost very little with the right polarity, just do some defence get some keys and get some forma, I've managed to get 5 in the past week through alerts/login/key missions. The best part is now players have reasons to use something other than Energy Siphon, also being able to see the exact %'s is nice. They do need to add a few more eventually though, really lacking on some slot polarities.
-
I'm wondering if the reduced resource costs will also affect Forma requirements and research projects too,? Curious curious!

Just saying. Here in EU-West there are so f§($/ing many bad hosts, I quit so many games because of them.
Yup, living in the wonderful UK here and I can host 3 people including myself, perfectly. Add a fourth and everybody lags to hell and back, where is the option to limit to 3 players or to force myself not to be the host? Nowhere to be seen... I try and not host but there really is only so much you can do unless you play with friendly only :/

managed to snag 16 in a single mission on Earth, pretty good spot to farm em.

Wow, didn't know this, kinda makes thunderbolt bad in certain situations. I'm using a heavily modded Dread and with maxed Vital sense i've been getting a few crits of 2k+ on Ancients, if thunderbolt would lower even one of those to 250... what's the point? If i'm using a bow i'm already using a secondary that's better suited for larger groups...
/sad now.

Frost Prime has an extra D(efence) polarity and a different skin, not sure if any other stats are different, doubt it.
-
Badly.
That's sadly the answer to this thread. Enemies affected should be glowing yellow, it has a massive range at max level but honestly it serves such little purpose with the current stealth mechanics that I removed it from my Banshee completely.
-
This is awesome, I'd found out most of these already but I totally missed out on one of them!.
Btw, on the agility test you have with the two laser turrets & the 2 cryo strips, not sure if you know but you can wall run along the curved inner wall to the side of the cryo bits to find a small area with containers & lockers, which can either be exited by a pipe or back the same way you came in. It's certainly not a puzzle but it's a hidden area.

Found 2 Hell's chambers on Kappa, 1 from Xini wave 10 reward and 1 from random infested on Callisto Jupiter defence mission
-
Cheers DE :)
My tiny clan thanks you ^^
-
When I tested it before update 8 it still had no change between levels. Unless there was a stealth change it's still a waste of mod points to level it up.
-
I have played 140 hours and still havent seen split chamber, my friend got it when i first time took him to kappa.
took me 212 hours to get it... finally dropped from Xini wave 5 heh, countless hours on Kappa only spat Barrel Diffusions and Hells chambers at me. RNG! :D
-
doubt it, I'm at mastery 6, nearly 7 and my friend is only 3 and she drops all the rare mods she could dream of. Even when she was rank 1 she dropped multishot mods from Mercury... it's just damned RNG, through and through. That's just my experience though...

Get some guns with a good ammo economy, my suggestion for starting out is, as soon as you hit 10k credits, buy a Braton and sell the Braton MK-1. You can pulse fire it to hit at max range perfectly, it'll hit harder and you'll notice the difference immediately, saving bullets to do the same damage.
The Lex or the Kunai are decent sidearms with good ammo/kill ratios, but they're not exactly super cheap as the Braton. Take your time and whenever possible aim for the head and fire in bursts, hitting enemies in the head (the ones that have heads anyway) will let you get kills twice as fast, saving a lot of ammo.
Don't forget your skills! Assuming you're in the starting frames still, if you're in a Loki you can always use invisibility and leisurely take down your foes without worrying, remember while invisible your melee attacks hit a lot harder!. If you're in Excalibur, Slash Dash everything, you can never use this skill too much! And if you're in Mag it'll be slightly harder, you've gotta rely on your 100 energy Crush to deal with groups, but it does dish out the hurt.
Hope some of that helps.

Thing is, I am intolerant to humans. I am easly enraged by smug, childish, troll behavior, whatever.
I am aware of that and thats why I usually stay way of clans in MMOs.
I usually play with only people I know, when in PUG I usually stay silent unless people start to do brain-dead moves or to cooperate defence and stuff.
This isn't a single player game, if you can't make some friends and play in a good group you can't expect to get everything from any co-op game, mmo or regular pve game. Whether it be bosses, crafting, endless defence etc, with Pugs only or solo play you'll forever be limited, this is just a fact and it should be obvious before you even read a single line past "co-op online game" in the description.
Fact is there is a tonne of content available to the solo player, and some of the best weapons in the game can be easily gained through entirely Solo play, same with frames. My clan is only 7 people in size and we'll wait to see what happens but I understand it's always been this way in these types of games, they add things for players to work together to achieve for a sense of accomplishment and that's actually not a bad thing, it just comes down to balance.
I don't mean to be rude but your OP does come over as quite entitled, your vastly minority take on a non single player game isn't catered to by a single update and you claim your entire play style is denied? It's no more denied today than it was on day 1 of the game entering open beta. With the exception of the Snipetron (replaced by the Vulkar anyway) nothing has been removed from solo players grasp in this game to my knowledge.
TLDR: your play style suits a single player game more, so why are you here expecting the majority of players lose out on their play style to satisfy yours? Cause I got a news flash for you, it's never gonna happen.

Using a Orokin Reactor or Catalyst will let you double the available energy to put mods onto frames/weapons, from 30 at level 30 to 60 points. You can consider these level 60 items, in terms of points at least. That's why unless you go into endless defence missions you'll end up facing level 56-60 enemies max on Pluto.
Without any reactors and catalysts it's still easy enough to fight on Pluto but it definitely requires the right mod loadout and good choice in weapons.

Managed to get 750 ferrite from a single run of M-prime yesterday, got my 5k needed for Despair in no time at all.
-
Consistently got 10-15 mods dropping on M-prime while ferrite farming the other day, and thats literally level 2 of the entire game. Mods dropping like crazy for me lately. Making me feel better even if none of them are new ones :D
-
Got a reaper blade on the first level 3 run after the patch. If that's any help.

Only half? lucky you. I'd say 90-95% of public games I play are in the 1000+ms range for me. I've set my ping in options to 100, made zero difference.
My computer is more than good enough to run this game, my internet is lacking and can host 3 people (myself included) perfectly, 4th person joins and everybody lags insanely though. No option to force it down to 3 max though... so i can't host. Vast majority of people in my country (England) will not have the upload speed required to host 4 people, it really does require quite a lot of bandwidth, the same is true of what seems like a crazy amount of hosts if the games I connect to keep lagging like this.
I don't bother playing with public games anymore, I just wait for my friend from Belgium or Sweden where they actually have great net connections to come online if we want to play with 4 people. It's really sad but playing public games is just impossible for me since a few patches ago :/

Drop rates seem better now for me... they were pretty awful for a while but it feels like there has been some kind of stealth buff. 2 weeks ago I'd played for about 150 hours, got 1 rare fusion 5. In the past week or so I've found 4 rare fusion core 5's and 3 multishot mods, 3 sundering strikes and a half dozen focus/flows.
I've played 210 hours now and finally got all the mods prior to the introduction of Thunderbolt and any mods newer than that. Those ones seem to be either stupidly rare or void only. As for drop rates I'd say they're pretty good, getting 30+ mods on a Xini run is nice for time spent on it, as for particular mod drop %... Some of them are pretty damn rare, I keep seeing my friends drop certain mods I need but then again, my friend who has also played for 200 hours nearly still hasn't found sundering strike and I got 2 of them in the same mission with him, he was not very happy.
Maxing out mods isn't really a good idea for most cards except maybe Serration/Hornet strike, unless I'm swimming in Forma for polarizing I'd rather not spend the points on shields/hp when I've got over 800/900, it's enough.

Quick question. What is stopping me from say, leaving my clan, joining a big one when their research is done, buying the BP's, starting them building and then just leaving the clan and rejoining the old one? Seems cheap to me but just curious...

I usually get a lot from Xini defence on Eris but honestly you can get them from any mob/container/locker on a planet that says it drops them, loot everything to maximize your chances.
