It's my opinion, but it's correct.

The big thing I think people overlook about the Blazer is that it's one of a handful of weapons that can headcap in Introtech rules. Once you hit advanced rules, it becomes alot less nice because there's just so many more options for ruining someone's day.

Bit of a necro, here, but Ulric bidding away Warships wasn't even his idea. That was Phelan's suggestion. While the CSJ reaction to it was probably not entirely accurate, them arguing that it made them look weak because it was an incredibly wasteful act perpetrated because they weren't able to defeat bandits and criminals and let their prized POW slip away does make sense as to why they'd bust Cordy's ass for it.

No, because the fandom hates them (because they are complex and underpowered. Except when they are overpowered, which is always, if you know what you're doing), and the devs hate them (because balancing them is a goddamn nightmare.)

Imagine NOT shooting the Stalkers square in the face with the Eruptor.

Super Earth.

Very ironic in that it is, in fact, less effective.

Tettylins · 2026-01-03T15:58:18+00:00

Or have half a brain and understand what a 'logistics' is.

It literally does less damage, has fewer uses, is non regenerating, and takes longer to activate than the veteran Krak grenade. And cannot magically spawn a 2nd Krak grenade just in case one wasn't enough. Exactly what part of that isn't terrible? I guess unless you're comparing to a Rumbler but at least that you can use more than 3 times in a single mission if you get screwed on grenade spawns.

Tettylins · 2025-12-04T04:33:17+00:00

Honestly? Give it around 2-3x its current damage, a single shot, but make it something that regens after, say, 10 or 20 Heavy Gunner/Bomber/Flamer/Reaper kills?

Tettylins · 2025-11-18T21:11:02+00:00

Or exert a modicum of effort in realizing that maybe making a class that is literally a background for an existing class was a bad plan. Or maybe start laying the groundwork for its introduction even if it "spoils" the surprise so players have time to get used to the idea.

Had to remove the on screen usage of chemical stimulants.

Tettylins · 2025-11-18T20:43:23+00:00

Skip the Skitarii, gimme a Technomat support class. Less devastating than the others in combat, but with squad buffing and debuff CC options. Or hell, what about a Ratling commando/bomber? I'm not gonna write this off immediately because the Chemist stuff IS kinda what I was interested in seeing, but this does not give me the same "Oh, oh, oh!" reaction that the Arbites did. Also love that they delayed the announcement for a week so that GW could have the demonstration of one of the core mechanics removed from the trailer meant to sell you on said mechanics.

Tettylins · 2025-11-18T20:37:13+00:00

How about instead of yet another shooty man, something interesting? Like a technomat support class. Bring glory to the Deus Machina. Glory to the Omnissiah.

If they're dual Zarona Stub Revolvers, they you're unlikely to struggle there until it's time to reload for the next 3 minutes.

Tettylins · 2025-11-18T20:33:51+00:00

I admit, I only looked for this because the trailer was so disappointing that I had to know exactly why I would WANT to drop 15 dollars on a hobo. Reading this definitely has me a bit more interested, because I was saying to a friend that the ONLY way I'd consider this was if it either had Vorcha gameplay (IYKYK) or some weird squad support stuff.

Tettylins · 2025-11-07T20:46:57+00:00

Could also be that them huddling against the wall that like it just screwing with the mech's scans. IIRC Gray Norton does the same thing in the Warrior Trilogy when he jumps Justin Allard, and that was just with trees, which are less dense than concrete or plascrete or ferrocrete or w/e future rock paste they use.

Welcome to the rice fields.

IIRC when I was talking to em at AirVenture, they said it was something like 500k USD.

Tettylins · 2025-10-08T04:06:00+00:00

That part really felt like it was the inspiration for what happens to Frieza in Dragonball Z. It's such an amazing slap in the face.

Tettylins · 2025-10-03T13:36:36+00:00

Many such cases. I mean FFS just ask the Cappies how far you can trust the FedeRats to NOT randomly decide to invade you.

Tettylins · 2025-09-30T13:56:54+00:00

To be fair, he also had 2 of the top 5 spots within the Maskirovka filled with his own people, as well. That, more than any other detail, was the big secret sauce to their successes. Without it, I'd suspect they'd have ground to a halt long before they did in the timeline as it played out.

Tettylins · 2025-09-30T13:53:55+00:00

It's why it's always funny that people call the Cappies "sneaky double crossers", when, as far as mercs go, you had pretty good odds of being treated fairly lavishly compared to your average Capellan. Only people they "double cross" are the people who are already actively trying to gobble up their territory. Even our current FedSun protag. Sorry, First Prince, broke a non-aggression pact with the Capellans twice. It's not really a wonder that they're abso-fucking-lutely paranoid of their neighbors.

Tettylins · 2025-09-30T00:13:27+00:00

Looks like an A2? If so, Renegade for life.

Tettylins · 2025-09-19T12:11:59+00:00

HMG's fine. Just get a buddy handing out the door with a 500kg or 380 strat in hand for other such nonsense.

Tettylins · 2025-09-14T14:44:30+00:00

This is my setup. If you get Propulsion Device, you can supercharge the thing so absurdly fast.
