I still don't understand the conversations when you use satellite weapons. Is the air raider leet haxoring into the satellite rather than going through command, and if so, why not?

The best part is her protesting using the laser, but afterword she's super smug about the results.

"Just annihilated."

I've been taking the healgun on my AR so I can heal myself while grabbed.

Not for me. Can only do one or the other

Anyway, is anyone interested in giving a hard runthrough a go? I keep hovering around 10-20 missions because there feels like a gap between that and the higher level missions and I don't have the gear to play the higher level ones I don't think.

I'd be up for this. Hit me up whenever, I'm 30-foot Dogbot.

Yeah, the first time you fight the queens, where the only way in is a tunnel full of assacid, the Ranger lasers are an absolute godsend.

It looks like strikes are now a template the raider can place on the battlefield, so we'll see how it goes.

The airraider's lack of air power is lame. I kinda wish there was a target painter that shot a rocket from the sky like the cruise missile one but it was fire and forget, that'd really help.

If you stop lasing the missile will keep going straight. Once you get a little red square for a second or so, feel free to walk away.

I love that they added a third equipment slot so Air Raiders can take two strikes and a support weapon, and the universal response is to take three strikes.

Air Raider is the closest any game has gotten to the idea of a low fantasy Sorcerer-Lord. You can lay waste to entire armies, call down hellfire and death and pestilence, rend the ground and sky, etc, etc.

But as soon as one plucky fucker gets within 20 feet of you, you are doomed.

Air Raider is the closest any game has ever been to describing a low-fantasy archwizard. You raze cities, burn armies, reduce all to ash until one guy gets within 30 feet and then you are f u c k e d.

It's perfect, give me a fantasy EDF please.

I still go back and play the early 4.1 dockside mission where you're getting reports on the space battle. That's how you write games.
