PSU-XBox 360: I'm new to PSU & I have several questions.

[Predecessor]

I just started playing PSU ever since Christmas Day. Now I've been searching the forums and I'm not sure if its true but.. is it true that several missions will not be available online until certain chapters in story mode are completed? If thats the case, what else will not be available and what other benefits will you gain on Live if you complete Story mode first? In addition to that, for completing AoI's story mode.

You see I completed Ch.1 and was eager to sign in on Live so I just skipped the entire story.

Where is the Casino? I cant seem to find it.

Another.. about the PM Evolution Devices. Lets say I carelessly bought a PM Evolution Device that emphasizes in Syn. Range weapons because of its appearance. BUT I dont plan on ever becoming a Ranger. I might later but for now I'll stick with the simple Hunter classes. Say that I raised its Strike Lv to 100 and then used the device to evolve it to a Ranged PM. How will that affect my PM's synthesizing? Can I ever create S-rank Strike weapons or no?

Oh and another thing, does anyone know where I can find some sort of chart that shows which mission will lead to what? Also the locations of each? for exmaple I've been trying to find a mission with Booma's but I cant seem to find it anywhere.

I apologize if its too much or if this noob annoys any of you. I'm just lost. I've searched the forums relentlessly and didnt find much.

Thank you for your time.

offline story mode and online mode don't have anything to do with each other. whatever is currently available online is available to everyone online, as long as you are playing the expansion.

the casino is quite a ways away from the main areas, fastest way is to go to Moatoob on a populated universe and ask someone for a ride. thats what i did. = )

PM devices can only be used on the same series of PM. You can't change a Striking PM into a Ranged PM with a PM device. for example, If your PM is 410, you can only use PM device 411, 412, 413, or 414. Let's say you use 412. Frpm there you can only use PM device 410, 411, 413, and 414.

The mission with boomas is another one thats hard to find. Actually let me throw you a link to the maps.

there. The missions with Booma's are Hill of Spores and Sakura Blast. Go boomas can appear on Dancing Birds as well.
