In yet another episode of not my build but one I modified (sorry original creator, I have forgotten the name and did not find it in the exhibition with a brief search after being done with this evenings playing so can’t attach your name here)
Harpy Impulse build. Dual Impulse at that ps, are you crazy? Perhaps, but it does work pretty well. They’re on an omamori and this build uses Omni wheels and the golden eagle engine, and has a seal and one blue radiator and chameleon light blue ver.
Fun thing to mention about Impulses that I have noticed, if you put them onto two different buttons, one for each impulse, and shoot them one by one, left right left right left right and so on, it works a lot more better than having both on the same button and just shooting them at the same pace. I think that both explosions happening at once can sorta bug out and not do as much damage as each explosion happening by itself, I have noticed the same with cannon builds, ones where each gun has it’s own button for firing rather than shooting both at once seems to destroy enemy builds a lot more efficiently.
It might be to do with spaced armour: first shell or grenade destroys some armour, letting the follow up shots get deeper into the enemy build.
Snowfalls and Waltz rockets are really good at that too.
I do that with a lot of builds… Or, with fused items that cool at different rates, I leave 'em on one button and just spam the fire button knowing they’re fire in rapid succession. Great strategy.
The Kobold returns, this time looking to improve their old plasma omni designs. to do this they completely scrapped the things, and started building them on a new frame still using a catalina and power unit at its core. the Cold fire is built with form and function in mind. a Rapid attack vehicle designed to be sold to several factions this build is a generalist.
Armed with twin power unit boosted plasma rifles the cold fire is capable of putting high damage down range at a medium range. Along with that a cloak mk1 allows for rapid disengagement if the battle gets to heated. All this is tied together by a doppler unit that allows for long range recon so that nothing can hit this thing unprepared.
So far, the coldfire has been seen in the hands of both the dawns and steppenwolves. Though rumors state the main buyer is the syndicate.
Since then I’ve sunk down the engine a pin lower, and added some
bumper armour in front of the furia front end, as I was losing my cheetah too often. But this earlier version looks a bit cooler.
I really like the King of Birds hammers. They should save that kind of stuff for their events that are usually a bit dry and could use some of the cool stuff they frequently just give away, like these groovy Birds, but whatever. I’ll take it.
I’m not sure when they buffed those Tempests, but they sure work a lot better than when I first got them. I’m glad I didn’t scrap’em. I scrapped a lot of crap recently, but I kept those Tempests, because they have a good fit. Glad I did. I’m not sure I miss that other stuff. I never used it, and I’m sure there’ll be more stuff. This game has lots of cool stuff.
I regret getting rid of pretty much everything I have ever gotten rid of. If I remember right, the Tempest turned too slowly to be useful when it was released. Wish I still had mine.
yah, from when I first started playing. it used to be PS 2499 before they changed them.
It still does good, you can add a reload module now that the cabin has an extra unused energy.
I have one or two… I haven’t used them in forever since the reload used to be SOOOOOO slow. I love shotguns, though, so I may have to slap em on my current shotgun build to see how they do.
BTW… The Duster is among my fave cabins. Weak? Maybe. But that sucker is so small I can fold it up and stick it in my pocket.
That hasn’t really been my experience, living in a consumer based economy.
I’ve got way too much stuff. Stuff isn’t what’s hard to get around here. I’m simply sick of all these grotesque inventories of stuff I don’t want or use.
I tried the Vultures…nope. That’s never going to be something I want to use. They could buff that to god-like proportions, and I still wouldn’t use it.
The Waltz? I wish I could hit anything with that stupid thing. It’ looked fun, but it always just turns off. It’s like modern flashlights that you always have to shake to get to operate. It’s neat when it works.
They are never going to fix the Master Cab. I used to like that cab for my Parsers (tall and fast). It broke my heart just to look at it after they screwed that thing up. Not storing it. Was sad, indeed.
I still have stuff though. Nobody’s taking Christine away from me…ever.
The Catalina stays.
I still have those tempests too…It’s just that there’s nothing special about any of this stuff. I have a limited space for inventory, and it’s been wall to wall with stuff I haven’t used in over a year. I’m ready for different stuff.
Unfusing stuff is sort of a new thing, if that’s even a thing.
I haven’t even opened up max storage yet after 5 years. Still at 650 spaces. Waiting for the next season to include expansion packs so I can buy some cheapies off the market.
Edit: If we can unfuse stuff soon, wonder what the costs will be.
There was a discussion about heavy cabs as drone-boats, so I tried one.
It almost works. I used the Ermak since the perk sort of emulates the perk the Call uses, but it’s hard being so slow, and the Sabbath wheels, even though they speed me up a bit, are too clumsy for the gig, IMO.
I feel like the Harpy would work better for this application, even though I’m only packing one Fuze that would benefit from it’s perk.
There’s a Grenadier in there too, but IDK if the Harpy’s perk would help that thing or not.
So far my opinion is that slow heavy drone-boats mostly suck, but maybe the Ermak is the cab that could make that work somehow. It would probably work better using a drone as a support module rather than a primary weapon. I don’t think drones were ever intended to be primary weapons, anyway.
I’m still tinkering, and I got a good deal on the Ermak, so I expect to sell that for a profit at some point. It’s a popular cab, and I like it too, but I’m not sure what I want to do with it. It has an alright perk, and a very cool retro aesthetic, like something out of a vintage Popular Science Magazine. I do like it a bit for a heavy cab…maybe I’ll hang on to it…but I doubt it.
