Picked this up and am pretty hype. Trying to convince some IRL friends to join me, as this'll be right up their alley

If my mates join later what happens wrt me having more hours than them, and them being 'underpowered' on progression?

I've kind of quietly thought that if they shift the Bots clockwise a bit (to cover Cyberstan) there is comfortably room for at least four factions...



Obviously border sectors could be variable or different.

The Four Sectors lived in harmony, then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

idk helldivers also seem pretty explodable to me

It took me a minute to realise that you're literally just some expendable mook, and every time you die you get replaced with a new rando from the cryotubes on the destroyer

Just ~for gameplay purposes~ they always come out with your exact same suit of armour + weapons

While I know us liberating the new planet will come with mechs, i really hope they do a "oh, the bots took some tech as well and now here is a new bot enemy variant, go gently caress it up with that new mech". I have such high hopes for what the devs can do now that the servers aren't actively melting into a puddle

Then he loved it, and we convinced the other 2 who chipped in to grab it as well.

So, when devs say that we are supposed to rely more on our support weapons and primaries shouldn't be all powerful, I wonder if they even realize they made a game that does this?

I like the 2nd option, seems to be the most popular one so far.
If we get a thread consensus going I'll look at getting it uploaded as a gang tag.

More options!

Option 1 - Gradient


Option 2 - Gradient /w Emboss


Option 3 - Gradient /w Outline (Meh?)


Option 4 - Gradient /w Emboss + Outline (Meh?)



My vote would be Option 2.
I don't know how Option 4 would look on a white background, but it might be useful as there's no noticeable difference for the Dark Mode crew?

Also I wholesale copied from this dude on Reddit when I did my rework

Gold Variant for shits and giggles

Gold 3 - Gradient /w Outline


Gold 4 - Gradient /w Emboss + Outline

Option 2 - Gradient /w Emboss

I’ve been telling people to just call in extraction and sit there patiently without calling anything down or shooting at any patrols. The extraction beacon doesn’t seem to draw any attention to itself, so if nobody has any clue that you’re there, you can just hide behind a wall for two minutes and extract with all of your samples intact.

Yeah OK but what if

Nah yeah I'd looked at that, and I get what you mean, but the OG logo follows the curves of the skull.

There's no 'good' solution that follows the curve of the grenade and keeps inline with it, as it's not a mirrored image like the skull and is already offset from the centre, so I followed the rule the original one set - a 2 pixel spacing and follow the curve
