Still waiting for my copy to dispatch

You'll be dropping onto a Terminid hive and administering managed democracy with extreme prejudice before you know it

You know those missions where you have to align a radar dish?

Must have spent 3 minutes pinging that it needed to be southwest and they just didn't listen, notice or understand (turned the dish past southwest multiple times)

So I threw a teslacoil to kill them both and had to do it myself

Hopefully Aaron's stream stayed up the whole time because one of the automaton missions was absolutely mental

It did not, but I caught it and reupped straight away, so it's in 2 parts, this is the second, tightly longer part!

Great sesh guys, as per!

Daily challenges are back on the menu, for a bonus amount if medals! (think it's 12 or 15).

As always down to team up, think the challenges are shared between a squad, so if it's the Eagle cluster bomb challenge I can bring that in and do it for you.

It's arrived!

Welcome to the glorious fight for freedom, cadet!

Excellent session last night with Fade, Jazzem and Tomous (also got a brief hour of Preezy before things kicked off!) I hope the introduction to the game for the the noons (Jazzem and Tomous) was decent! I quite like the strategem system lending itself quite nicely to on-boarding new players - veterans can give new players their later unlockable weapons/backpacks to keep things even.

Yeah thanks to Aaron and Fade for showing us the ropes, had a great time! Fade somehow making it back to the ship at the end with all of us dead, through a huge neverending swarm of bugs finished it off nicely

Looking forward to playing more! Will definitely be about tomorrow/Friday for some games.

They've nerfed the breaker in the new patch:

Breaker: Decreased magazine capacity from 16 to 13, increased recoil from 30 to 55
Railgun: Decreased armor penetration, decreased damage against durable enemy parts
Flamethrower: Increased damage per second by 50%
Laser Cannon: Increased damage against durable enemy parts, increased armor penetration, improved ergonomics
Punisher: Increased total ammo capacity from 40 to 60, increased stagger force, increased damage from 40 per bullet to 45 per bullet
Breaker Spray & Pray: Increased armor penetration, increased fire rate from 300 to 330, increased number of pellets from 12 to 16 per shot, decreased magazine size from to 32 to 26
Energy Shield Backpack: Increased delay before recharging
380mm and 120mm Orbital Barrages: Increased duration of the bombardment, decreased sprea

Had a little lunchtime session on this (napalm roasted terminids on toast ) and managed to complete my daily challenge (kill 500 terminids), mainly by doing a whole bunch of quick level 1 and 2 missions where I can cope by myself and draw swarms out in a more controlled environment. Also good for easy grabs of supercreds and samples. Still gets a bit dicey on evac, but that's why the Super Earth High Command gave us sentries and strafing runs

Got up to level 10 and am now just a few short reclamation points away from my own guard dog rover

This game

Anyone interested in some games tonight?

If I can get on then I'll be sure to join up with you and whoever else is about. Mrs might want the TV though so

I was aiming to get on at 7:30 or so.

I probably won't be able to play til Friday (but may sneak on for some pre-8pm games to test out the new buffed Flamethrower!).

Good luck with your journeys everyone. Can't wait for a 4 man GRcade Helldive.

>flamethrower buffed

Based. Already loved that weapon.

Yeah I saw you using it yesterday and thought of you the second I saw that update haha..

Apparently it's pretty good against chargers now!

Looks like I'm going to have to start using the laser as my next main, and start picking up the Flamer as my side piece of choice.

Game crashed last night on my last run of the night, as my first, chaotic Bile Titan mission was about to wrap up. Absolutely gutted, as I was looking forward to spending those rare samples on some ship upgrades.

Oh also just wanted to share, on one of my missions earlier I had my first encounter with planetary hazards, in this instance it was a meteor shower that caused a bit of chaos as I was defending my evac site. So that was cool.

Is someone able to help me get some pink samples at some point?

Doing it with randoms is not fun

Did did an evac mission and the party leader was like "Distract the enemies and let Fade get the objective, don't go to the base"

So guess what the other two knobheads did

Managed to get 30 civilians away before the base was overrun
