A Pilot named Cheese Part 2 - Roguetech HHR 166

[@SergeyHamzatov]

That was properly brutal. And losing artillery at the very beginning on such mission sucks a lot :/ Kudos for finishing regardless the odds 👍

[@jasonbecker9748]

Those Greater Demons are scary tanks, have one around may be just what you need

[@Tom_Foolery324]

That was a demonstration of tenacity on your part, well done. The losses were heavy but I'm glad that they weren't too critical and I'm really glad the Orion survived. That Stalker looks interesting, if you have a heliocentric flywheel to boost its movement it might be a good platform for that huge pulse laser since it would be capable of drawing fire and surviving (a bit longer). It also had an Elrm 15 from it to help the Jormundgundir recover its lost firepower. Can't wait for the next episode.

That's the 1st time I've seen the AI completely leg the player.

[@SergeyHamzatov]

Regarding "how the hell the AI was moving that fast on that stalker?" - I definitely remember bonus movement speed on elite SH pilots in the code. Elite pilots have several tiers (like from elite to very f-ing elite) and traits accordingly. Depending on tier, traits has like 20-30 bonuses on movement, accuracy, heat, clustering, jam, knockdown and even damage reduction. If you're interested in specifics, I can pull the data from the code tomorrow or when I have some time.

I thought it was the other Stalker that melee the Orion. The Stalker-11x has a 435 rated engine with 50 MML missiles. This Stalker that Pagan got was the long range build that is annoying, "slow", and has warfare suite II that nearly killed "our" fun Longbow. On top of what you described above.

[@paganhorde4463]

I would love to how far these overpowered AI goes... or if I'm being paranoid!

[@paganhorde4463]

That's a very good point, thanks for pointing it out. A 435 engine would give it 4-3 movement maybe? Still does not compute

[@Krownar]

The way these missions have been going was expecting the enemy to drop reinforcements when the got to low. Sheesh. I was calling these 2 episodes Cheese Grater to my wife.

[@paganhorde4463]

hahaha! nice I should name a mech cheese grater

[@Krownar]

@paganhorde4463 that'd be hilarious...

[@soulstrumlp9517]

Hell of a grind, good work!

[@paganhorde4463]

Appreciate it!

[@michaelbaker8284]

That thing had a blue switch. I saw it turn off at the new turn @45:00

[@hamvandong7136]

And magical bullshit iguana man jumping into clouds. ;)

[@AndyL-xy4kq]

Well done. Stupidly overpowered ai pilots.

[@krissteel4074]

Not sure about the Stalker, if you got it fast enough for direct fire (as a player) then there's just not much left for anything else. Even with energy you still need a big stack of heatsinks and most of the ballistics or missiles are too heavy + ammo. Spiked boots + Solaris Spikes and just Waterboy charge across the battlefield and 'bonk' into people... 💣 Yeah I dunno. I don't see it being much use at all

[@damienjnrx1811]

Very well done. But is playing at this level fun?

[@paganhorde4463]

An honest answer is the Super Heavy content is fun, the overpowered AI is not

[@innui100]

As annoying as BA are, in roguetech they feel less lethal compared to bta, where they turn up hurt you real bad. The non stealth ones in RT are practically stupid.

[@paganhorde4463]

You are right, its a combination of the waiting time, the clanking noise and the swatting them / initiative 30 swarming again. That is just not fun

[@innui100]

@@paganhorde4463 Some mechs can't even swat! I recall being very sad the option was greyed out. Interesting thing about BA, you can complete missions without even killing them. So if it's like mostly dead and desperately trying to claw my eyes out, i just ignore it and focus on the mechs.

[@JS-mh9uu]

Members only? Is that intentional? Is this a previewing for members? Also, start of the video ... EVERYTHING is on fire! 😂 SUPER BULLS4!T MISSION GO! The Super Stalker had a +25 Movement Bonus at 140 missions which is how it did it's BS charge, you will never get that bonus, I think you should vender it. The super armor pretty much cripples it because slots and weight. Should have disassembled all before you made your last pick just because. Man that was all one hell of a battle thanks for the great episodes. 👍

[@paganhorde4463]

Thank you very much, it means that it is released a bit earlier for members and will be out tomorrow for everyone. Just trying out the Tube's options

[@JS-mh9uu]

@@paganhorde4463 Well they work thanks for the early viewing but now what am i going to watch tomorrow? Oh yeah i got a double today with the Chosen Episode!
