There's nothing forcing you to be a jerk.

Kicking someone for a friend mid mission is a dick move and I'm fine with waiting for someone to complete a mission to then join after they kick someone post mission personally.

just ask them to leave. It works every time. “Hey so my buddy is going to join so I’m gonna back out and play with them.” Or if you have 3 friends in and some rando joins “appreciate the help helldiver but my buddy is about to join, and we need the extra spot if that’s cool” Or whatever. People will get it. They’ll do the hug emote and leave and it’s nice. You don’t gotta kick no one unless they won’t leave or something lol

hot take: I enjoy automatons more than terminids now you get to creep up all tactical, crawling through the underbrush, marking the hulks and emplacements, finding the right spot to drop a cannon shell or airsrike on their fabricators and slip away with nids you just kind of rush in and hope not too many titans breach

Does the new laser rocket launcher work as intended on cold planets? My heat meter drops really fast but then when it try to spin it up to fire it's still not ready for another few seconds.

The spin up part happens no matter what, that's the drawback for it since otherwise no one would ever take EATs or the RR.

Ship name talk: I run the "Leviathon of Serenity" because it outs me as a huge sci-fi nerd. Armor talk: I always run Light Armor with the recent exception of Eradication missions, where I've been using the Democracy Protects armor, as deaths per minute are so high there that it makes a big difference. 90% of the rest of the time, I run the Scout Armor, with the other 10% with the Legionnaire armor for the extra throwing range. The Scout Armor is always useful with the decreased detection range, and I actively use the scouting radar feature. In fact, I only recently discovered that when you place a pin on the map, you're the only one who can see that extra radar, so as soon as the group decides what path we're taking, I'm placing pins along the route, and at the destination to be able to call out what I'm seeing. It also makes it a little more palatable to run with a booster other than the extra radar one.

Marshall of the regime here. Also, why the gently caress do pubbies always call for reinforcents in the middle of a drat squad. It's tiring redeploying into 2 dozen bots.

LazyMaybe posted:Yes, but that's why I pinged the wall and showed the zero-the gun is set to the default zeroing of 50 meters, and the target is 50 meters away. smellmycheese posted:This is going to be a dumb question but why would you not wear the armour suit that gives you a FIFTY PERCENT CHANCE NOT TO DIE WHEN YOU GET WHACKED? Feel free to explain to me why I’m an idiot 50% less explosive damage lets me survive a bot missile every time, not 50% of the time, and they are my real problem on bots. My ship name is: Elected Representative of Self-Determination Because it is the longest possible ship name and covers the whole ship, on top of being patently absurd.

Pharmaskittle posted:yeah I feel like it nails the tone and is also a good joke The Carbot Animation studio uses "Superintendent of Family Values", which is also good. I use Emperor of Democracy to hit the nail on the head because 40k taught me Fascism Satire needs to be utterly blunt. Edit: Taking a second look, I think I'll go with "Comptroller of Individual Merit" for a while. Jack B Nimble fucked around with this message at 19:24 on Mar 31, 2024 |

Stun grenades are a little too good. The stun lasts forever and the area is big enough you can easily catch an entire bot drop(sometimes two) in a single grenade.

A contact nade could have just killed them all. Stun Grenades rock but their only real advantage is being able to stun stuff like Hulks, Chargers, and BTs. Giving up being able to nuke trash, spewers, and spawn holes/bot factories is a fair tradeoff.

Away all Goats posted:Stun grenades are a little too good. The stun lasts forever and the area is big enough you can easily catch an entire bot drop(sometimes two) in a single grenade. I think they’re well balanced because you give up some utility with a guaranteed way to close nests/factories and the best non-GL tool for dealing with spewers. But with that said, they are amazing and I usually run them. Stun+500kg will absolutely shred bile titans, chargers, and hulks and if you’re running EAT 2x stuns will buy you enough time to call in the rockets and then blow up whatever you’re stunning. They’re also really nice just for general “time to hit da bricks” stuff when you need to make space from a dense group or fast enemies and using defensively when you have a sentry up that’s about to get bowled over by a charger.

Giving up being able to nuke trash, spewers, and spawn holes/bot factories is a fair tradeoff. Stuns absolutely have a larger radius than an explosive grenade’s lethal radius - it’s extra work but stun+shoot will kill more than any other nade can and it’s pretty trivial to mow stuff down that is stunned with a sickle or shotgun. causticBeet fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Mar 31, 2024 |

If you're also getting completely surrounded by little yard treasure bugs, they're safe to drop at your feet to escape Dropping the contact grenade at your feet is less advisable

Stallion of Science And so I’m not just piling on the name-train, a bit of armchair game design: The default movement speed is ridiculously slow, but juggling the stamina bar on long treks is lame. It would be better if sprint speed was the default and “sprinting” was like 2 seconds of really booking it. Then it could lock you into the old jogging speed while the stamina bar recharged, just long enough that juggling wouldn’t offer an advantage.

Tom Tucker posted:In this case it's a red reticle with a click, not the spin up, though\ I've noticed what you're noticing too - the cold planets don't actually make it recharge faster. They make it cool down faster but there seems to be an intrinsic delay before they can shoot again regardless of whether it's cooled down or not, so it cools completely but you still have a couple seconds before it can start charging again.

Hwurmp posted:hot take: I enjoy automatons more than terminids now Against both enemies avoiding patrols and using strategems on objectives to rush them before loving off is a good tactic. It's easier to achieve against bugs and more important for bots, but the enemies feel pretty similar once you're used to both of them. You dive more against bots.

Does anyone else use the sickle on charger legs? It's weird because it looks like it's doing nothing. Then the charger dies.
