Report, 31.01. - 03.02.2047:
Since the last report my 2 small teams explored a lot and so I got the resources to build the necessary stealth equipment (Styx armour and crossbows) for my A-Team including Vengeance Torso and Mirage Leg bionics for the two Assault/Infiltrators. Now they are really full stealth and ready to rumble almost anything. The only part that is missing for the two Assaults is a melee weapon, but after a successful haven defence for Anu they were also ready to align with me:
My 3 Teams:
The second heavy has to go a long way to also reach level 7, because the others will constantly get more XP because they are already very strong. I will try to let him do some damage and kills, but I assume it will be not really much.
One of the two OP Assault/Infiltrators, now with the newly build Marduk’s Fist:
- The crossbow is nice to shot and maybe kill some weaker enemies from some distance with its 120 damage for 1AP.
- Melee attacks with 320 damage also for 1 AP with Vengeance Torso, therefore Vanish is absolutely necessary and also speed to close the distance.
- The current WP are enough for Vanish, Rapid Clearance and 2 Dashes, but then he has to kill something otherwise he will be “empty”
- Assault rifle and shotgun for anything else.
- Styx helmet, Vengeance Torso, Mirage Legs together with the Thief perk give them 100%.
- They could be faster with different equipment, but I like it to be more stealthy.
The other look similar, but equipped with a Daimos instead of the Danchev AR and with different personal perks except the Thief. He has Quarterback, very good for the +2 speed, and Self Defense, so that I will switch the Daimos to the Gorgon Eye PDW later on (OP + OP = ?).
The level 7 Heavy/Infiltrator:
- IMO one of the best damage dealer and supporter especially for the two Assault/Infiltrators.
- This one has very nice personal perks together with the Thief perk, Biochemist in combination with the Deceptor is very strong and is also good with assault rifles that he can also use with Trooper (I will switch the Bulldog later on to the Danchev AR, 2 more bullets means 2 more Virus on the enemy + Acid).
- Grenade launcher in combination with Sneak Attacks double damage … I think here is nothing more to say
On the 03.02.2047 Citadels and Scyllas were introduced:
From now on it will be very difficult for my two small teams, but I also want to avoid sending them on difficult missions. Their main task is the exploration and possibly light haven defences.
My A-Team should be able to handle Citadels and Scyllas but because they are also only a pretty small team it will be not really easy.
In the meantime, a haven defence for NJ has emerged and with that plus the necessary 2nd Phase mission those are now also aligned. The 2nd Phase mission was easy with my A-Team, I should have tried it with one of my small ones, well, time is money
Diplomacy at 03.02.2047:
- Aligned and shortly before to get allied with Anu
- Aligned with NJ, still some way to go to get allied, but now with Lairs and Citadels …
- 100% with Synedrion
That is all for now, next report in roughly one ingame week … or so.
