Latest update from PlanetSide
Version 3.2.12 (January 19, 2005)
Battle Rank 23 Extension
    Players are now able to advance to Battle Rank 23. We are also implementing the following adjustment to help with the new range of advancement.
Recertification
   To facilitate existing characters restructuring their character build with these changes and to prepare for their continued advancement, we will be clearing everyone's certifications with this update.
More 1 cert options:
   In order to facilitate easier travel, especially while wearing Reinforced Exo-Suit, we are making the ATV and Harasser certifications 1 point.
   ATV from 2 to 1 cert point.
   Harasser from 2 to 1 cert point.
Adjusting Up Combo Certs:
   In an effort to control "one man army" character builds, who can do it all, from happening with the new certification alignment, we are bumping up Uni-Max, BFR and Air Cav.
   BFR will move from 3 to 4 cert points.
   Uni-MAX combo cert moves from 5 to 6 cert points.
   Air Cavalry combo cert moves from 4 to 5 cert points.
Other Updates
   Slightly increased the Mosquito, Harasser and Marauder's 12 mm Cone of Fire to match that of the Lightning and Skyguard.
   Adjusted BFR Flight Variant flight movement capabilities:
Slightly reduced flight capacitor recharge rate
Moderately reduced flight pack lift per unit of capacitor used.
   Slightly increased effectiveness of strafing flight jets.
   Slightly increased the batter down timer of the Flight Variant's shield once it is beat all the way down.
   Substantially increased the Switchblade's armor.
Adjusted the movement characteristics of the Switchblade to better handle hills and rough terrain.
   Moderately improved the starting cone of fire and bloom of the cone of fire of the Switchblade's Scythe weapon.
   Increased Ancient ammo (used by the Radiator and Spiker) to 30 in a box.
   Moderately reduced the Fury's Hellfire rocket damage against MAX armor.
