Eagle Airstrike honestly might be the best one in the game. It's fast to call down, recharges quickly, super accurate and predictable, and can reliably close up multiple bug holes with one strike. I think I'll always make room in my kit for the basic rear end airstrike.

same, my plan is to build out my eagle stratagems and whatever buffs I can buy for them. they deploy so fast. every pubbie pretty reliably brings the biggest boom they can muster, but when I want my bombing run I want it now, not in ten seconds

also the bugs are escaped farm animals (although depending on how intelligent they are, it might be more appropriate to call them a slave rebellion)

I wish it was like, 10% easier to see and steer in the drop pod. Maybe the upgrade you buy later does the trick, but right now it feels like mostly luck when I hit a big enemy or elevated position I'm aiming for

Warframe is extremely cool and unique, but every movement feels like in an MMO when you run through a crowd of other players just clipping through models

I usually just beeline the main objectives, hit the secondaries when/if they're discovered, but only go after hives/factories if I think it'll be easier to destroy than avoid. If I wanted to fight endless waves of enemies I'd play one of the boring defense missions

I've only played light armor since launch and can tell you that the padded one is very good. The only other trait that makes my eye wander even a little is servo assisted

the dmr needs to either have medium pen or do literally twice as much damage. that's just the regular one, the countersniper one can just go in the garbage if they aren't gonna fix the tracking speed on it

That they haven't patched the game ao it generates a need seed on launch is very interesting. Maybe the devs aren't financially incentivized to make the in-game economy run.

The people who make the game should be able to change it so that it is no longer possible to obtain large amounts of super credits quicker than intended. That they have not is puzzling.

Gotcha. Yeah it seems like the surprise success story isn't just hype and a lot of the monetization stuff is half baked like everything else
