The 15 minute civilian extraction missions against bots on higher difficulties is absurd. It's hard enough keeping up with the flood of bots without protecting a bunch of squishy goobers from the bots and stratagems.

Had my first rear end in a top hat group last night, which is honestly a pretty good ratio. I drop in and they're down to their last few reinforcements. I call in my Quasar/shield and join up with them. We were crossing an outpost they already cleared (so no enemies) and one of the guys just turns, kills me, and immediately takes my equipment. Then they just left me dead while they ran around. I literally had just joined and hadn't fired a shot yet so it's not like I did anything that could have pissed them off. Now if they were "smart" and just wanted free equipment they probably should've fragged then kicked me but I guess they thought I'd leave on my own? Lol nope. I waited patiently until one of them died so they'd have to cycle through and burn a reinforcement on me, killed the dude that stole my poo poo, then ran it into the biggest group of bots I could find so they wouldn't have it. They were down to 0 reinforcements when they finally booted me so I'm pretty sure they failed. Good and gently caress you. It did make me realize how good the community is overall though. I've had plenty of bad groups but this is the only one that was maliciously bad, the rest are always a mixture of incompetence and bad luck. GokuGoesSSj69 posted:Every time I do one people bring both mortars and maybe the auto cannon sentry plus a rocket launcher to shoot down dropships and they go pretty smooth. I like that strategy too though. Yeah this is the way. EMS/regular mortar x4 in the most secluded spot you can put them, orbital lasers, and then whatever else you want that helps you keep the bots away from your mortars. I actually like the new HMG with stun grenades on those too, if a hulk gets up in your face you can stun/delete it without any collateral damage risk.

I joined a game with two people sitting on the extraction point and I heard one of them say "Wait until they call in their stuff then kick them" so I killed them both. I should've tried to pick up their samples and jumped into water before they kicked me. Why they would say that when I could hear it I don't know.

Last night's automaton defend mission went okay until they started dropping directly on top of us nonstop. And then it snowballed. And then the game crashed. Fun!

I felt bad, I was leading a team towards extract on Bot 6 Draupnir. We were running low on reinforcements but the team really wanted to clear out the bases along the way. We clear all of them except the last one, then a Scorcher Hulk charges me. I dodge it and run towards the base. Out of the fog looms a laser cannon turret. My mind flashes back to that scene in Glory where Matthew Broderick and the 54th charge directly into a battery of cannons loaded with grapeshot. We are all brutally murdered and do not defeat the cannon. The Hulk completes the pincer movement and eliminates all of our reinforcements. My last reinforce I am thrown out of bounds and then branded a traitor to add insult to injury. The final Helldiver tries to sprint away from the cannon with the Hulk on his heels and a single laser blast neatly decapitates him. Mission Success. 0/4 Extracted

that's some master move in marketing speaking of, this thread moves too quickly for me to thank the poster proper, but thanks to whoever posted a quick guide on how to farm super credits. Found myself a good map and watched Starship Troopers for the first time since I was like ten while super crediting on auto. I am now ready for democracy.

2x EMS mortars will basically lock down any of the tiny defense/terminate maps. I did a bug one last night where we had 2x EMS mortar and 2x mechs and basically just parked a mech on each side of the compound and just spawn camped the breaches as they exited into an immediate mortar stun cloud.

I hope they add an AC-130 stratagem. Make it work like the one from Generals, where you have to paint targets for it, that'd keep it functionally different from the laser strike. Could even have some sort of interaction with enemy AA units?

Are the PC and PS5 mechanics really different? I tried PC for the first time and I couldn't run with the map overlaid, seemed like the only way to go prone was to dive, since I couldn't do it with crouch. Also I'm sure people have already complained about this but I wish there was some way to not have beginning-ish players in Challenge+ without gating it somehow. We had a 4 squad with a level 12 player and while he didn't do anything dumb like throw grenades at my feet, halfway to the extraction point I told the team we had missed a bug hole on the otherside of the map (they were half way from it, but I was closer) so 2 of the players went back to help me. I eventually died to a charger and the guy ends up throwing a reinforcement strategem... at the extraction point. The whole time the rest of the team was trying to rid the last bug hole he instead went to the extraction point to wait for us and then reinforced me and made me go all the way back while he just waited there the 5 minutes or so it took for us to fight our way over and back. I dunno maybe not a newbie-ish thing since its not like he called for extraction but kinda makes the map more difficult to run

You can run and open the map, but if you have Sprint as Hold then the resultant Shift + Tab by default is Steam's overlay command. And 'Z' is prone, separate from crouch.

You can run with the map open by changing sprint to a toggle instead of press & hold, and you can go prone by pressing Z. IMO it sounds like the newbie who reinforced to extraction while the rest of the team was running to the opposite side of the map for a bug hole was the only one making smart decisions

It's really funny reading the galactic war channel on the official discord, people are so salty about the player base splitting and not all doing the most efficient way to complete the order. Don't think they realise that the vast majority of players aren't on Reddit or discord and are just playing whatever feels fun. Can't wait to see what happens when we've got 3 fronts and potentially multiple major orders at the same time.

ZearothK posted:that's some master move in marketing You're welcome! I also discovered that it's very easy to get back to your farming map (provided that you have not personally selected a new mission), by going to your ship and disconnecting, and reconnecting - it will take you back to your farm map. Just make sure that the galactic map on the table is zoomed out as far as it can go (I think). This is regardless of whether or not you have actual access to the planet, and it ignores what planet you are currently on. Once you reconnect it will bring up the map and you just warp to it. Someday - and that day may never come - I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this farm strat as a gift on "half-way to liberty day".

lol, farming level 1s is boring but absolutely does work for getting Super Credits and normal samples- which is what I'm critically short of. I have like 200 rares and 20ish Super Samples and no regulars. I farmed up enough to start finally buying a bunch of ship modules, bought one of the warbonds for no $, and I'm halfway to the second warbond. I'm shocked they haven't removed Supercredits from anything like below a level 7. I've had level 1 missions get me 50 Super Credits per run.
