Engineer Tactics
Engineers are one of the best starting Classes for new Planetside 2 players! Even after spending Certification Points into everything you need, Engineers are still one of the best Classes to earn Certification Points to spend into other Classes, Weapons, and Weapon Optics and Attachments.

For earning Certification Points with the Engineer class, deploying an Ammunition Package in a well-placed area with a lot of friendly Infantry is your "cash cow". Engineers should deploy an Ammunition Package where their Platoon/Squad members may benefit it the most. Remember that you can deploy (move) an Ammunition Package as many times as needed as the tides of battle shift to and fro.

Around groups of friendly Infantry taking cover during heated combat, deploy an Ammunition Package and Anti-Infantry MANA Turret/Anti-Vehicle MANA Turret/Spitfire Auto-Turret near a Combat Medic's Regeneration Field and/or Infiltrator's Motion Spotter to help create a "support bubble" as I call them) so other friendly Infantry/MAXes can see where to go when they need healing/repairs, ammunition, etc. Please stay nearby to these "support bubbles" to repair damaged MAXes. These "support bubbles" work best behind adequate cover (such as inside buildings, behind rocks/walls/very large trees/etc.), and as the tides of battle shift, these "support bubbles" may also need to change locations as your Platoon/Squad advances/retreats during battle.

After capturing/defending a base, quickly perform these tasks in preparation for the next battle, and earn more Experience Points and Certification Points...
 * 1) Repair any nearby friendly MAXes
 * 2) Supply Ammunition Package to a nearby group of friendly Infantry that aren't close to an Equipment Terminal
 * 3) Repair all base's Generators
 * 4) Repair all base's Terminals
 * 5) Repair all base's Phalanx Turrets
 * 6) Resupply your Engineer at the nearest Equipment Terminal or deployed Sunderer

Engineers are also the best Class to drive/fly Vehicles since they can repair their own Vehicles when it takes damage. Please see my Sunderer and my Galaxy Loadouts below!

If you'd don't mind spending $30 USD of "real world" money to get the most out of your Engineer, please see my Bundles section!
