Both valid points, I was against the buying thing too but later when asked if I'd rather have the old way, I realized the game wouldn't work without it (without completely redoing it anyway). As for equal ground, Ascend is one game where skill truely trumps equipment. Sure in some cases the unlocks are superior in every way, but you can easily see the difference if a veteren player goes onto a new blood server with no unlocks; he'll still dominate the board

But I loved both T1 and T2 and will forever remember the awesome time I had playing them. I was folowing Tribes before T1 even launched, and loved it ever since (although Vengence was just ok).
