And if you're using Cheat Engine to boost your pickup count, it affects all players, so don't use it in multiplayer unless you just got the game for your little brother and you wanna tear poo poo up together without him grinding for hours. Air Raiders are a lot more fun when you can paint targets for huge Fencer missiles  . I love this stupid game and its Sega arcade sound effects and Time Crisis-as-gently caress voice acting.

Yeah, Fencers are fast as gently caress if you have a shield and melee weapon in one slot, and those are fun weapons to use, too. Air Raiders can get around quickly depending on which vehicle they bring along. Rangers are slow, but if you work with an Air Raider they can drop you speedy toys. My favorite Fencer loadout is melee weapons in one slot, and the high altitude missiles in the other on both shoulders. Makes me feel like I'm playing Armored Core again.

Marogareh posted:Can't believe how much they fixed my boy Fencer. His slow as gently caress rate of fire on a lot of his weapons are so drat fast now and you can upgrade the how fast the initial hit on spears fire. Being able to dash multiple times in a row is a godsend too. His cool rear end missiles are still locked behind a laser guide kit though which pisses me off. Aww man, that was so annoying in 4.1. You can only nag your little brother to be your laser monkey so many times.

And I think the tradeoff was that it provided a slower lock speed or something.

Can't play until I get home . Do Fencers still require laser support to use the big, stupid missiles? That always annoyed me in 4.1.

The hardest part so far is trying to keep focused and not close my eyes and sigh heavily every time I hear "THEY'RE JUST LIKE US! TWO EYES, TWO HANDS!" in the Colonist introduction missions. Nobody in their right mind would voluntarily ride a Free Bike.

I'm enjoying an all-purpose Fencer loadout of spine driver/automatic shotgun, and tower shield/30mm cannon, plus jump and dash boosters. Dart around making hit-and-run attacks with the former group, stand ground and snipe frogs or teleportation ships with the latter. Also, that one super wide open mission, like 36 or something, is a wonderful showcase for the Air Raiders. After beating it with Fencer, I switched to AR armed with Spritefall and two bombing runs, and was able to cycle between them all nonstop while hiding behind the EDF forces. Jesus, Air Raiders can do some insane poo poo when the enemy is kept at bay.

My one beef so far with Air Raider is that the beacon ranges are very short so far, so I have to get fairly close to things, unless I just use bombing runs and the 1400m range Spritefall. Hopefully I'll get some upgrades to give the cannon beacons 400m or so range.

I like taking Spritefall back to early missions where you're a civilian, and the wicked witch lady is really confused about you having access to it. Also, I love the general idea that the EDF air force receives air raid commands from a civilian, and just shrug their shoulders and drop bombs. Must be an emergency, right?

Her early bit on the downsides of tactical nuke strikes is one of my favorite EDF lines ever. Also, the monsters appear to be teleported from the ship. We will call this technology, "teleportation." The ships will be called "teleportation ships." Thanks, EDF Intel!

Ambaire posted:Plain of conflict? Mission 38 offline. And yeah, on hard difficulty solo, the npcs basically stomp everything. Even on hardest, you just need to kill/distract/disrupt the frogs, especially the two flankers, and you're good. Even on Inferno, if you carry your weight, it's free loot. Cheat engine loot radius script required to get all the drops, though, running it between waves otherwise you will hit the loot cap several times. The air raider bombing run showcase map

I also like that mission because the Naegling thingy is actually useful, between the wide open space and having a bunch of NPC's to hide behind. Makes it easy to mop up the drones.
