What is the best VT for a new player?
This question gets asked of me a lot, and there are no real “correct” answers. I usually recommend new players stick to 1st generation matches until they get a little experience, and the most “general” of 1st generation VTs is the Decider, in my opinion. For 2nd generation matches, freely select between the Prominence M1, Yellow Jacket or Scare Face II, all of which give a decent 2nd generation experience. Other 2nd generation VTs tend to be either too expensive (in sortie cost), too specialised (in ability or application) or too fragile (resulting in a lot of quick deaths). It is also my opinion that new players should not attempt 3rd gen piloting until they get the “basics” down in 1st or 2nd gen machines. Nothing is more infuriating to the rest of your team than some newbie running around in an Earthshaker exploding every 5 minutes because they have no idea what they are doing. Hey… you asked.
