Perhaps the defining thing about Tribes Ascend is that winning matters. In recent years most shooters have seemed in thrall to the depth and intricacy of their levelling systems: endless treadmills designed to make every player feel like a special snowflake while unlocking the same gear. Tribes Ascend has levelling and unlocks, but the game itself is what matters - winning the match you are playing at this very second. I don't even look at my kill/death ratio. The overall result says whether you played well or poorly, just like the XP you receive.

Started playing yesterday, seems pretty fun and different compared to the main stream FPS games and I will keep playing this casually alongside BF3. Also to what should I ideally be spending my experience to and in what order as it seems like quite a grind to unlock everything and even just one expensive unlock should take a while.

Of the three starter classes I vastly preferred Juggernaut, so much health and landing artillery kills is a lot of fun, although hitting an airborne enemy seems pretty much impossible with Juggernauts weapons to me for now at least, figured I shouldn't be even trying that and just hit them once they land.

Also which game mode(s) are used in "professional" matches?

CTF is the pro mode. You can check through the thread (though it's gotten quite long) for advice, but in general what the best players have posted is that
1) Pathfinders are used a lot as cappers, but chasing is "fundamentally broken" (to be ineffective)
2) Sentinels and a HOF (heavy on flag) is the preferred defense
3) Soldiers sometimes used for base-clearing defense as they are effective duelists
4) Raiders are the standard MO (medium offense), LO is either a Bolt Pathfinder or Infil (mostly Path though)
5) HO (heavy offense) sucks, Doom and Juggy are both usually HOF
6) Shrikes are bork.

I think that about covers it.

HOLY FUCK.

Also they finally made mortars detonate on contact with a player after the fuse runs out?

For the jugger you will want to unlock the LMG and throwing disc quickly alongside the armor upgrades. Ammo for the mortar is also totally worth investing into since having 10 more shells to drop on the enemy base can be really useful. The MIRV isn't really necessary and I actually prefer the mortar over it. You can also randomly get these kinda hits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3GbLXbHibE

I really dont think base defense is what Juggernaut is good at or should be used for that. What use is the mortar in your own base? None. If you want to play HD why not simply go with Doombringer? Its a lot more fit for the job.

On the other hand, if you really like Juggernaut, try playing with mortar/LMG/throwing discs and go HO. Clear the stand, duel people and just make havoc for your capper.
