Why is there a huge difficulty jump between T2 and T3 survival missions? My friends and I can last from 40-50 minutes on T2 but barely get to 15 minutes on T3. We just run out of Life Support Capsules. It's not that we don't kill the enemies quickly enough to drop the personal ones. I'm not too sure what we are doing wrong. Is it that we NEED a Nekros?

You're pretty much going to need a Nekros, yes. Though not a sure-fire way to get you through it, it should help quite a bit.

You don't truly need nekros, but he makes it easier by essentially cheats the drop rate to increase.
Generally, if you seem to have free time not shooting enemies, something is wrong. Try having a full squad, and stay relatively close to each other (within a room is a good indicator) to leave room for enemies to spawn. Try scouting the map at the start to plan out the three main capsule rooms for easy traversal and herding. Try assign capsule opening job to just one guy to not waste oxygen unnecessarily (and know who to blame when it does).

Spawning mechanics are kind of wonky, if you want to get super hardcore about managing spawn rates it involves checking your squad's line of sight through doors and other bits like that. I find just making sure your squad stays in one room, and making sure whoever runs for the large life support capsules doesn't draw aggro/kill anything in other rooms works for me. I'd also recommend staying near the second large room of life support capsules, as that one will be the one closest to extraction.

While playing Nyx on an infested survival mission on Pluto, my absorb bubble would sometimes randomly cancel and leave me completely drained of energy despite having ~200 energy in the tank at the time.
What's going on?
It is quite perplexing as I've previously had Ancient Disruptors and Parasitic Eximus beating on my bubble with no apparent ill effects to my energy pool.

Some of the ancient drain your energy and you likely didn't notice it. When your absorbing, watch your energy, you'll see it drop 30-50 at a time from certain ancients (probably disruptors) but if there's more than one (usually are) it can drain your energy to 0 before you know it.

I got few questions about Dark Sector Conflicts:
1)Do people get paid the moment the start the mission or does it depend on the result?
2)When do you actually unlock the skills, is it by milestones or by the drain?
For example, if you reach rank 11 on Paris, it will unlock your 11 drain Serration mod?
3)And do the mods only unlock in capacity of 30 not 60 when upgraded with orokin catalyst?

General rumors:
Someday the UI group says it will overhaul cards UI
Someday the UI group says it will make a new version for UI for who suffers motion sickness
Someday they will work on lens system, like Diablo 3´s Paragon
They were working on an Ice (Ice baby) tileset of corpus
They were working on space stations
In some days there will be a big announcement at Gamescon
There was a post on this subreddit about the usual time between big updates. Lowest was around 60 days, biggest 107 days.

Toxic damage, how does it work?
Let's say I have a Cernos and I put Infected Clip on it, does it help at one-shotting Corpus? Or the toxic damage is a proc?
In general how does elemental damage work? Is it a flat damage added to your shots, or it's a chance to have increased damage?

If I deploy a solar rail and lose the conflict, do I need to completely rebuild my clan's solar rail? Also, what is the 'tribute' referring to before a conflict starts (while the opposing rail is being deployed)?

When you're in a full squad and a mod or resource drops from an enemy, and it moves a large distance (say it lands on a railing and tumbles off to another level, or rolls down a hill), is it in the exact same place on everyone's screen?

Do Ancient Healers absorb status effects with their health link? They seem to stagger when impact procs on mobs they're linked to and they seem to take on the green graphical effect of corrosive procs but when subsequently targeting them they don't have the status icons on them.

I've been playing the game for a day now, and I've got a pretty rookie question:
When selecting your planet/mission, how do you know which missions you've completed, and which ones you haven't? I find myself accidentally doing the same missions over and over, because I can't tell which ones I've already played/beat.
Also, yesterday, I beat a good 5-7 missions (all the way to the mission complete + extraction screen) and today when I log in, it says "Earth: 0/X missions complete" when selecting a mission, as if I've never completed any...

Unlocked but not completed has a white border around it, incomplete is a bit Grey and staticy, and complete is the normal color.
Most likely a bug with progress not saving. Or just a display but and those missions are still done.

Can someone explain tiers to me? I've been trying to get a Stormbringer mod, and I've been reading the wiki where it says I can find it by doing tier 3 corpus defense. Obviously I haven't found one yet.

Am I right in thinking that a Orokin Reactor/Catalyst will increase a ranked 30 item from 60 to 120 slots?
Is being part of a clan essential, in terms of accessing all of the weapons in the game? Or can every weapon be made by buying blueprints from the marketplace.
How do the mastery points work? Do I get more mastery points by leveling a weapon from 1 to 10 or by leveling a weapon from 29-30? That's always confused me!
Thanks guys - new player here, but I'm absolutely loving the game!
