Thanks for the advice! I suspected I was going to have to do up a bunch of ACC XX's to make life easier. Gon' be a whole lot of miranium probably.

They are probably the most endearing alien race in the game after you get past the voices. All the flavor stuff around them are great like their little audible dialog quips like "maybe I'll do some work for some pizzaaaa?" and the "No Ma-non Need Apply" quest where the Ma-non is obviously messing with the shop-owner, smooshing her face against the window until she is let in.

The thing with the Mannon is that their voices are just pitched-up regular voice acting, which is a completely lazy and unremarkable way to do voices like that. They need to keep the tone the same (or have a lesser shift) but instead focus on inflection and pronunciation patterning. It's not just Monolith, a ton of companies do this and it's bad every time. A better voice idea: Puck in DotA. No pitch shift (or minimal), but instead you get the effect from cadence, which is way more believable and memorable. 5er posted:I've been saving up salvage tickets, and just savescumming if I lose a mech, or paying for the salvage.

Ok, after letting the game sit for a night (turned on) I finally beat chapter 12 lao fight finally. After all 3 of my party members were dead with Lao still having a ton of health, I realized my skell had a fuckton of fuel from sitting overnight. Hopped in it quick, got off a quick g-buster for 105k damage, lucked into cockpit mode, hit for another 90k, then he drained it completely, hopped out with him still having a decent bit of health, eagle eyed, did whatever green one it is for crit chance up, and did the green one that doubles arts, and fired off a TP sniper art with full secondary which was both doubled and lucked into a crit, finishing him off in that single attack (it was whatever one cranks out a bunch of shots at once, they each critted for about 10k). I had exactly 72 health left when he went down - I looked. gently caress that fight. It's still stupid to spend the whole game up to this point building up how awesome skells are and then telling you NOPE NO SKELLS when I've gotten myself all set up to use them. Oh well. I'd still be happy with a good guide on arts/skills/combos/overdrive and stuff. I thought I had pretty good synergy with everything skills/arts/augment-wise but maybe not!

zedprime posted:Its a little late for get rich schemes since you are kind of bound by the probe income. Research probes and storage probes share the same layout to make due with a criminal lack of them, but the easiest way to make a ton of cash is to stick a duplicator on a 2/2 scenic spot and surround it with a booster and 3 of your highest research probes. There's a perfect spot for this in eastern Oblivia. Wait, duplicator on the 2/2 scenic spot? I'm pretty sure all a duplicator does is double the effect of adjacent probes, surely you'd want a research probe on that spot, with a duplicator next to it (hopefully on a crossroads so you can link it to a booster and two other things of your choice too) Suaimhneas fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Dec 21, 2015 |

So in a more general explanation, duplicators duplicate the effect of the probe on the spot the duplicator is placed, not the sum of ore or credits of the probes they are adjacent to. I made the same mistake in thinking until somebody posted that setup in the thread. zedprime fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Dec 21, 2015 |

zedprime posted:It will duplicate the 3 research probes on that spot, so you have 3x2x the sightseeing bonus for the grade of research probe you are using, times the booster multiplier. And also the booster multiplier will pass to all the adjacent research probes, I think 1 or 2 of which in that spot have sightseeing spots of their own. Its worth something really silly like 40-50k credits per tick for 1 duplicator, 1 booster, and 3 high grade research probes. Well, that's swell. I didn't realize that. I've been using some variation of one of the guides I found on gamefaqs, and it's OK. Right now I'm pretty entirely focused on cash although I should change that now that I can take the $300k squad mission and complete it in about 30 seconds. I still have a bunch of affinity missions I want to try in the game despite finishing the main story.

So I guess it barely matters what the research ranks for the surrounding spots are, which is something I've been wondering about. Like "this spot links to four other spots but they have Cs and Ds for revenue, would that even be worth it"

zedprime posted:Unless those are dirt cheap, for a skell that seems kind of bad if you're stacking enemy exploit augments which are 40% to all of your weapons when micromanaged per fight. Haven't seen any damage formulas, but wouldn't it be better to have all the exploits go off of higher weapon damage rather than just a big exploit boost? e: I'll just do some appendage runs later and make the augments to test both.

Honestly the augment system is terribly explained both by the game itself and the manual. I'm yet to find a really good guide about what's useful and what stacks and what applies just to the item it's on and what applies to the entire thing and what's the difference between WP-SPEED and WP-COOLDOWN or whatever the gently caress they are and so forth. I have no clue what to do with any of that poo poo, but I suppose it doesn't matter because I don't hav ea loving clue where to find the materials for most of them anyways. Maybe that was a big part of why I had so much trouble with Chapter 12 - I didn't have any useful augments on my ground gear. My skells are actually not terrible I don't think thanks to some lucky drops

So actual mechanics question that came up: do the passive skills (i.e. X%+ to beam damage, etc) affect Skell abilities at all, or is that purely for stuff on foot? I've heard both.
