TWO biolabs, even. Only way to avoid them? Pushing through Saerro, which is simply untakeable

No joke, when pizza first posted this map I thought it was a joke map.

[BEST] squad did our duty. 170 combined A2A kills with 7 people, and almost constant uptime. We had already killed a dozen Gals in the first 20 minutes or so. Roaming anti-gal gank squad is a really good strategy.

Miller is scary, they play just like we do. On a neutral map they're going to give us a real big problem. If they had not gone so MAX crazy in the first 30 minutes they would've have run out of steam so quick

Take 30 seconds to really study this, and put yourself in the place of a platoon lead or force command who must decide on how to make progress, even considering Miller's strong start

That Eisa cap lol, maybe we'll get Pounders nerfed the same way we got AV nades. Whoever organized the Pounder MAXes lining the stairways and just mutilating every ScatterMAX that touched the stairs is a war criminal

Only an hour into the recap now but jesus, Miller's #1 issue I think is they just went SUPER RESOURCE HEAVY super early. You can't do that.

With their strongest defensive base being 4-5 links back, and ALL of ours being 1 link back from the front? Absurd

Yeah, that's a really stupid map to start with. There has to be a better way to do that. Outside of the whole thing where they need to redesign the bases and lattices of course.

Its freyr loving everything up because it has a ton of stupid small bases other wise the other side should have started with mani.

The best poo poo is they dont even have enough map designers to fix this atm.

Naw, our Amp had just as many little satellites. The main thing was they didn't want their line starting within a base or two of our warpgate, either because they feel like it'd be an unfair advantage or because they feel like it'd be free territory for us.

I was kind of hoping they'd do NW and SW warpgates, that'd be interesting as hell and look at all the bases in the middle ground between the two? It'd be extremely unlikely to be steamrolled at least

This would probably be the best option. Have Andvari, Eisa, and Saerro as neutral? Imagine the bloodbath.

Probably would have had it if I didn't gently caress around for 10-15 minutes on the redeploy screen trying to find good fights. If the Vandal isn't my favorite gun it's right up there. Lots of fun to use.

Vandal is soooo good. I love throwing EMPs at a busy Sundy or hillside and then get big multi kills in one magazine.

If you're in the EU they moved your characters over to a different system and the window to transfer is over so you done gonna have to start over.

I love how to justify the price hike of the vehicle bundles they added in lumifiber and a 3 or 7 day booster.

I doubt stealth is worth it on a Galaxy since even in a game where nobody looks up they are hard to miss. I'm a fan of racer on mine so I can get in and out, and also because I usually pull from the warpgate so I can come in from an unexpected direction and the fight would be over without racer.

Multi purpose battle/drop gal:

High G
Nanite auto repair
Fire suppression
2x walkers 2x bulldogs

Works for pretty much anything. Best certs all around.

If you have friends with gals or want more xp, roll in a repair gal, slightly modified:

High G
Proximity repair
Fire suppression
2x walkers and either 2x bulldogs, 2x drakes, or 1 drake and 1 bulldog.

The split drake/bulldog setup is really fun- bulldog for blopping infantry and the drake works well on all vehicles and gives you a stronger anti air option. You get to be like an AC130 that also shoots planes and poops out infantry while tanking most damage taken or something.

Composite and stealth are sort of viable, but are too specialized or plain outclassed by NAR or prox repair right now.

Also the Galaxy meta is in full swing right now- 2 rep gals plus a couple of gunners can have a ton of fun. At small fights you'll dominate, and in large fights you can still kill things thanks to a massive HP pool. Plus formation flying to keep the reps going. :rock: :hellyeah:

They should just get rid of the libs AI belly guns and add a galaxy gunship thats nothing but 2 bulldogs, 1 CAS and 1 AI turret on one side. Make the lib a dedicated anti vehicle gunship, increase the shredders traverse, make the dalton do AP damage and the zeph basically be the HEAT round. Imagine stepping out of a spawn room looking at this wall of explosions and death in front of you and looking up to see a shiny galaxy with muzzle flashes covering 1 side with a gentle whale song in the background.
