You can purchase Inspirations during a TF in the Oro Portal. You can also get them from your Super Group Base. In regards to the traveling powers issue... Players can do a bank mission string [five misisons] and get rewarded with a Flight Pack or a Jump Pack during that level range.

You call getting to level 20 a grind. Just who are you playing with? If you focus on doing story archs such as the initial contact arch, the Hollows Story Arch, and stick to a team. You'll to level 20 in less ten hours of playtime.

Furthermore, when you claim that the game punishes new players for lack of knowledge. They do allow you to respec your characters slotting and powers after doing a Task Force designed to be relatively easy. Let's not forget that at level 10 you get a separate build for your character so that you can get a second chance at it. Or maybe you've gotten about the Test Server where you can copy a character over and test everything out?

Accuracy is largely dependent on the level of your opponent. In a Task Force [your main complaint] the opponents that you are facing are typically +4 to +5 above your level at the start. As you level through the task force, you've gained levels towards the end were everything is down to +2 or +3. Let's not forget the amazing bonuses that the leader ship pool give to your entire team. [especially when stacked.]

Just to throw it out there, since you are now known as 'KNOWING' that there is such an issue. You must at least report it to someone that is higher in the chain of command than you. Save the document that you send, and cover your ass. Essentially your e-mail/letter should have your professional recommendations, and that you are leaving it in their hands.

Submission + - Autopatcher Taken Down. (autopatcher.com)

KyoMamoru writes: ""Today we received an e-mail from Microsoft, requesting the immediate take-down of the download page, which of course means that AutoPatcher is probably history. As much as we disagree, we can do very little, and although the download page is merely a collection of mirrors, we took the download page down. We would like to thank you for your support. For the past 4 years, it has been a blast. Unfortunately, it seems like it's the end of AutoPatcher as we know it. Comments are welcome... Antonis Kaladis""

Submission + - Can statistics predict the outcome of a war? (texyt.com)

StatisticallyDeadGuy writes: A University of Georgia scientist has developed a statistical system that, she claims, can predict the outcome of wars with an accuracy of 80 percent. Her approach, applied retrospectively, says the US chance of victory in the first Gulf War was 93%, while the poor Soviets only had a seven percent chance in Afghanistan (if only they'd known; failure maybe triggered the collapse of the USSR). As for the current Iraq conflict: the US started off with a 70% chance of a successful regime change, which was duly achieved — but extending the mission past this to support a weak government has dropped the probability of ultimate success to 26%. Full details of the forecasting methodology are revealed in a new paper (subscription required — link goes to abstract).
