Since we appear to be smack in the middle, I hightail it around the south end in order to meet them head one.įirst enemy in sight: a Grasshopper. On the other side of the ridge the convoy is at the north end, and their extraction point is at the south end. There's a ridge to the west of your starting point. I'd heard that it has a brutal Target Acquisition mission, so that was my big concern.įirst mission: Ambush Convoy. I finally got my rep high enough to ally with Kurita so that I could take their alliance Flashpoint. I like you, Catapult, but I have better LRM platforms nowadays.) Then it jumped on top of a THIRD building, and I dropped it one more time and took both pieces home with me. ![]() Then it jumped on top of another building, and I shot that building out from under it. So I shot that building out from under it. First thing I saw it do, it jumped on top of a building. Cityfight one of the hostiles was a Catapult. I have a pair of Gauss rifles looking for homes, and can't think of better ones than the arms of a King Crab, so.ĮDIT: also had a really funny moment in a mission tonight. Now, if only I could find a third King Crab piece, I can have the Gettin Stuff Done lance I really want. The truth of the matter was one of several "ah shit" moments in that plot. I mean a weird-ass ballistic heavy assault mech with an artillery piece? And it's literally named "Bull Shark?" That just screamed Rim Worlds Republic to me.
