With the introduction of persistence and economy will you still be able to rent weapons with REC and use them in the PU?asked by Tramps Nest

TL;DRNo, REC is only for electronic-access modes like Arena Commander; everything in the persistent universe uses Alpha UEC, and Alpha UEC will probably be usable to buy REC.

So no, REC is only going to be a device used for essentially Electronic Access – which at the moment is Arena Commander but will also be Star Marine when that comes online and if we have a gamemode for Sataball which also is down the line versus the real Sataball, because you're also going to be able to really race as well in our PU universe – but anything in the PU universe will be in UEC. So in the beginning it'll be Alpha UEC which is the "temporary" or the "alpha" version of our proper currency that we can reset now and then.Because obviously there's going to be a whole lot of experimentation and balance issues and all of the rest of stuff and so you'll earn Alpha UEC and you'll use that to buy things that will persist and the REC will be just the way it is in Arena Commander as it is right now. And you'll probably be able to use Alpha UEC to buy some REC – that meta, buying in one game, the exception – how many levels down do you go? So there you go.
