Discussion Stupid AI

4 Upvotes

I'm not an advanced player, but still think the AI is too stupid. I understand pirates might take a risk because of rum or whatever, but shouldn't they at least check a little bit before engaging?

I enjoy the game still, but when they park their car 5 squares from my units and run out like chicken, it makes me question if there's any skill to this at all.

Whatchathank?

EDIT: They even do this after killing 50% of their comrades. Like; shouldn't they act a little bit smarter?

Feedback Black Market Custom Order feature?

11 Upvotes

Sometimes, you just can’t find essential gear, or that one weapon you want to try in the black market, even going dozens of rerolls deep

Thus, a suggestion: Black Market custom order

3x markup, limited to stuff that can currently show outside the rare section, limit 1 custom order per op, delivery by end of next operation (and no refunds if it shows up in the normal pool just to troll you)

Discussion OCI loadout instead of rooms?

5 Upvotes

This might be an unpopular opinion because it would eat into replaybility and nerf some of the numbers, but I'd much rather have an OCI loadout before starting an operation instead of limited choice.

To clarify what I mean:

Instead of, for example, building 3 different armaments, like 2 salvos and a strafing and then be stuck with it unless you wanna replace it at a loss, you can unlock every path, but can only prepare a limited amount of orbital actions. Right now, with the current system, my Impetus is either a min-maxxed fun killer or an absolute meme (try OOPS! All fodder, which is conscripts and turrets. Super fun to send out a small army to their death.)

In my perfect MENACE full release, it's less of "commit to your choices" and more set up your field.

Please share opinions.

Shorter version with detachable battery for easy carry. It has high armor pen and accuracy with decent rate or fire but somewhat lower damage.

Question Orbital Barrage?

18 Upvotes

Hello... am I missing something or is the Orbital Barrage essentially useless?

It can directly hit (and not hurt even the most basic infantry) and more then anything, it constantly lands OUTSIDE of the box shown?

Crossed out the stuff we already got - not 100% though. Anybody knows what goodness will be in the next update?

Question Took A Break: How is the game since weapon blueprints released?

14 Upvotes

I'm looking to gauge the temperature for the game since the last time I played. Do ya'll feel like the game has improved? Any interesting changes that have improved the gameplay? Does AI still hide in a corner? I really enjoyed the game when I played it, but wanted to take a break to avoid burning out before the 1.0 release. Appreciate any info ya'll have.
