I can't even consider Warhammer 40k scifi. Its a unique brand of nonsensical insanity that blends so many different things together into one awful mess. And yet it manages to be quite entertaining at the same time.

In this case, the Rainmaker's timer ran out. When that happens, the carrier explodes in the enemy's ink and splats every ally around them. Then the Rainmaker's position is immediately reset.

Finally reached my first S+, with tower control :toot:

I've found I've been doing really well switching weapons whenever I lose. I've been cycling through a full page of weapons, with a mix of short and long range, offensive and defensive, and fast and slow weapons. It really helps to avoid going on tilt when you have a bad game, since you never have time to get in a rut with a weapon. Also keeps things fresh!

Huh weird that shifty stations are always set in a cool sci-fi void instead of a dirty rear end stable or a hosed up dungeon.

That shifty station was good, the middle towers are great for holding down the map. It's a poo poo show if someone slips past though, a lot of turf is easily accessible to base-rushers. The current JP shifty station is my favorite so far.

I'd be careful about doing this too much. It's a lot better to dabble in a few weapons that you can get really good with than to try to play everything and end up being good at nothing in the end. And switching to a weapon you have no idea how to use or have little experience for the sake of mixing things up can just make things much worse.

Oh, I've used the weapons plenty of times before, so I'm familiar with their kits and general strategies. Maybe now that I'm in S+ it'll be a problem, but in S I didn't have any issues. I could see S+ being tough enough that I'd need to really specialize in the stuff I'm best at.
