    I'm saving for the last engi tool upgrade (500certs), so I decided to get points in the way it should be done as an engineer: repairing.

    What you can do, being an engi, in 54 minutes.
    - Warp to Esamir
    - Grab a Scythe
    - Crash it near an Amp station (being capped by your faction), respawn and walk to the nearest generator
    - Wait till the Amp is capped
    - Go repair the hell out of the station

    Tried the above at Elli Amp station (be advised, not all of above steps are advisory/necessary).

    Amp stations have a lot of turrets. Most of them get destroyed, not all of them do get repaired though. So fix them!
    This works pretty good if you can't find good fights, get tired of Indar or just want to get some easy certs. The higher lvl people probably get more certs per hour, but this will do for the lower ones.

    Keep in mind I actually get 65% extra while repairing due to member bonus and 15% defender bonus. It does work for free players the same way though.

    (Alternative tactic is to drop with your Infiltrator behind enemy lines and hack them all)

    But hack points stop after like 4 ticks, unless you do something else like blow up a gen or kill someone.

    Stops at 10 terminals or 4 turrets (or something). After that, grab your gun, shoot, hack again. It's probably a bug not being able to hack everything after each other, but this workaround works for me (most of the times).

    This is a great way to get some easy points when there is low pop, or something to do in the meanwhle you're trying to get resources by switching conts

    You missed a step...
    Before crashing your scythe, use it do destroy all remaining turrets at the amp station while waiting for the cap. This gives you additional points and ensures maximum number of targets to repair once the base flips
