Honestly it's probably a way to draw down the available reinforcements for a bunch of distractions and put those resources to work. NPCs with liberators can probably do a lot of damage against chaff

this game has been so successful that im excited to think about all the cool stuff the devs could add i bet they had to cut a ton of features leading up to launch and now they can dust off those files and hopefully implement the stuff from their wildest dreams now

The kill X bugs or bot missions are kind of disappointing. In the actual Starship Troopers game they have something like this, but you have 16 players, a huge arena and a bunch of points to spend on defenses and gun placements before the bugs start coming and at the end it's this huge scramble to try and extract with swarms chasing you the whole way. The mode in this game is like 10 minutes tops. Hope they make it more interesting.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Speaking of the autocannon, I noticed tonight uses a toggle-action mechanism. So hilariously outdated. I'm killing Bots and Bugs with a bigass luger. Maybe for small arms, but it's actually quite common in high-caliber weapons such as auto-cannons, auto-loading cannons, and auto-loading howitzers.

It's also way squishier and I'm pretty sure the 'open top' is weak to explosives in general. I've seen ACs shred it. To that end holy poo poo are impacts Good. Impact grenades are probably the best upgrade to basic kit - but you have to be a little more fiddly with taking out fabs and holes.

i very much dislike that the cannon towers don't get taken out by stratagems unless those stratagems also happen to directly hit the weakpoint on it. you'd think 2 eagle airstrikes and an orbital precision strike would be enough to turn a concrete tower into rubble regardless of weakpoint but i guess not

This morning I was in a match with randoms, called in the 500kg bomb, and the dude hosting the lobby ran directly into where I called the bomb and got vaporized. He called me an rear end in a top hat and then kicked me.

You can also destroy towers and fabs from across the map with spears. Fabs are tougher depending on line of sight, though.

Orbital laser is great specifically because it'll clear a lot of that poo poo out. Big pack of hulks, berserkers, cannon turret and other shooty stuff? Laser it and clear out whatever survives. Everytime I try the same thing with a 500kg I just come back disappointed. Its also fairly hard (but not impossible) to friendly-fire kill people with Orblasers.

I've seen the 500kg bomb get results on Cannon Towers though, since I think its damage zone extends upward via its large, towering explosion.

Incidentally, the Defender SMG seems really good. Near as I can tell, it's just a Liberator assault rifle with better handling while moving and a slightly faster reload.

If youre doing briefcase carry missions for the nuke launch, you want the briefcase carrier to either use the SMG or to drop the case the second you need to engage

apostateCourier posted:This is another thing people aren't taking into account; the railgun and shield combo is fully half of your strategem spots, two thirds with the AA condition! It had better be effective! I think the meta will move away from everyone bringing everything they need and instead 1 or 2 people bring backpacks and 1 or 2 bring support weapons. It frees up extra slots and you can share, plus your strategems tend to do way more of the killing. bandaid.friend posted:Buffing everything to the level of the overpowered stuff is how warframe turned to poo poo  it's pretty funny that warframe is probably in the best place it's been in some time, but you see random goons bring it up as the ruined dead game all the time.

There are a couple enemies that have multiple variants. A YouTube I was watching showed that there is a tank variant with armored back vents. He showed shooting it in the front between the treads somewhere working.

Defender is nice because it has almost no recoil; the scorcher also seems a lot better than the stats suggest for whatever reason.
