If a perk ride means that much to you, then why up one. I don't have enough perks yet to not get "unhappy" when I die in one, so I'll only up one if squaddies insist. I agree, a perk ride, even a Tempest or a C-Hog is an attention magnet. Perk points for a "low number" guy-get real! I had a relatively- for me- low number last month based on two good toolshed runs and, I assure you, killing me is no honor.
