That's it. I'd thought about that, but couldn't think of the name of the show for the life of me. Thanks! the track is called "Yakkity Sax". I can already see (and hear) that video in my head welcome back Poop Thanks, Gus.

I've had a Raven sitting in the wings for a while and had been meaning to try it out for something more than when there was a SpaceTech faction event going on. It's now leveled (guns just hit MK2 recently) so I figured if I could do a half-assed Jeb impersonation. Here's my high water mark so far.
I'm not positive I spent the entire match in it since I can only account for 7 of the kills.
Still, the pilot is only level 21 and none of the guns are over 2/2 and Tier 3. Works for me.
Oh, work your whole 「bum-bum」 on in there. What modules are you running? That Hussar/Marquess build is something. I remember Lottie Rose wrecking shop with that back in her day. I just finished getting both of my Ravens FULLY maxed. Blast shotties on one, Pulsar/Magnetar on the other, all to 2.12. Dual overdrives and an anticontrol on each, all also L6. It's the culmination of years of development. I have 1 NA and two RAs on there now. Seemed like a consensus from the research I did ahead of time, but if there's a better approach I'm all ears.

I'd love to see BB load up a Strider with them. I have no idea what music he'd choose (Loony Tunes? Mr Bean? Itchy & Scratchy?), but I think it'd be amusing to see a string of clips tied together showing *dash* *dash* Stab Stab *dash* Stab Stab *dash* Stab Stab *dash* Stab Stab RedDeathBENNY HILL SONG!!!!!! BB could even speed it up a bit like in the show. That's it. I'd thought about that, but couldn't think of the name of the show for the life of me. Thanks!

Besides 4 Lynxes with pokey-pokey weapons is not my idea of a good time. One? Sure. Variety. 4 is just snooze fest. I'd love to see BB load up a Strider with them.

Don’t do the lance. It’s getting nerfed very soon. Plus when I have the two glaives blown off my aether. The lance does very little damage. Stick with the panties and maybe two blinders. Unless you are stuck on mixed long/short setup. I’m still hoping to pull another Panty. Must not comment.........too.......many........jokes........nnnnnnnnnnnn!

Single bot game w/ a Gauss/Hwangje Butch

Had this match recently. Most notable moments are below. Hwangje's weren't even MK2 yet.

I decided I wanted to run a Butch so I bought one and leveled it up along with some Hwangjes.
Being a bit of a throwaway, I didn't go nuts with the pilot skills or modules.
Findings:
* As you'd expect, it's not meta. The guns don't hit like four of them on a Behemoth and it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the other whizz-bang stuff Godmoding their way around the map. * With the top-mounted guns, though, it does do a decent job of peeking over obstacles and avoiding getting lit up. It also does a nice enough job vs Titans that they take notice. * I use the guns in the following manner: 1. Gauss as the primary weapon and the Hwangje's for close-in fighting, or 2. Charged Gauss shot followed by Hwangje to take advantage of the bonus weapon damage from the pilot skill. * Active module is a bit dicey. I elected to focus on damage to burn my targets as fast as possible. Sometimes that works. A fair number of times I regret not having Advanced Healing, but then with the smallish health pool it's moot vs all the most recent stuff, anyway. I've considered using Quantum Radar to do Imuji hunting, but until the hitbox issue is resolved there's no point.
Results: I've gotten some very nice damage and kill streaks playing this old boy. It can get it done still if you're careful. Example 1 Example 2

It wrote a plan to destroy mankind because it was asked to. It is impressive that the bot was able to create a largely original work as high-quality as it did, but it has a long a ways to go before it is actually thinks on its own. But yeah, “dismissive” was not the right word. Perhaps “negative” would be a better word.

I wonder if chat GPT knows. Word on the street is that itâs focused on world domination, not War Robots 「bum-bum chapeau」tery.

Good point. I just tested it, also. They all go to max elevation. The difference is however has elevation control where are the other two just have the single.

This looks like bad news from head to toe. Instead of just buffing old equipment to be viable, they are creating an entirely new upgrade path (which means more spending and likely a new currency). I’m sure the spenders and battle rec account owners will have a blast with it, but for those of us who live in reality, it will probably just be another meta headache. The ultra-detailed visuals of these equipment pieces could not be more of a non-factor. This seems like Pixonic’s version of selling nostalgia to players, akin to Disney with the Star Wars sequel trilogy or live action remakes. This can be done right, but is anyone expecting Pixonic to? Here’s the thing: I think the new Star Wars largely sucks. Pix won’t do any better. Like Disney, Pix rushes content because to them quantity >> quality and visuals >> content depth.

Other than titans, which mechs go to the highest elevation in one go? My hunch is that it is either Raven with the double jump or Hover.
I don’t typically use flying robots so I will defer to you experts.

So, uh, I’ve blown through mine of late. Not sure how, but I have. I imagine it’s Skyros driving.

I’m currently using it on a Skyros, but have used it on my Mender. With the same modules, Mender is a bit less damage resistant than a balled-up Skyros assuming similar levels. Mender trades the resistance for healing (and grey recovery if using the Marie pilot). I recommend trying to target from a distance to get an extra stack or two before engaging 1v1 in melee combat. Personally, I try to stay at a distance or support with my Mender. Too much incredibly bursty stuff now to take a colossal beating w/o the PPBs now. I'm actually referring to the defense stacks indicator. (left side of screen) It does not go up for me on the Mender when capturing a beacon. It was with the Skyros. But I haven't tried with Skyros since the last update. If the bot really makes a difference, that would be pretty goofed up. But literally nothing surprises me anymore with Pixonic. Yes, I’m getting the defense to stack.

Fun! I really try to stack up Armadillo buffs a few times (the more the better!) before engaging. That+NA+RA+pilot skills makes the Skyros tanky. And mine is only 2/7. I need to think about where I'm using my Armadillo more. I currently use it on my first drop beacon runner. I find it’s good for anything that either quickly or opportunistically gets kills, gets beacons, or both. I’ve successfully used it with Mender, Loki, Skyros, Ghost Lance, and Fenrir. They all particularly do well as first drops or any time when things get chaotic and you can take advantage of instability or Reds being overly biased to one area of the map. I use my mechs (particularly Skyros and Loki) to force Reds to break apart focused attacks in that manner; inevitably 1-2 break loose to try to deal with me. I’d like a second Armadillo for a second beacon runner, but that’s how I handle things for now.
