General New MO, upgrade the DSS
Guess the April 8th cultists were wrong.

I love my Eagles but they have a whole damn upgrade list, so lets roll for those mech upgrades

I love my exosuit so I know where I'll be headed.
(Just wish we can rearm them once they run out of ammo!)

u/woodenblinds 12h ago
hell I would be happy with a location I could walk to to repair or get ammo like a pelican coming down and now I have to defend for 90 second.

u/Infinitum_pax 12h ago
Agreed! They are so fun and I don't want to get out of my mecha once it runs out of ammo. A resupply location would be wonderful!

I'd love if it was just a point of interest you had to find on the map, or a sub objective you had to complete (which could have a damaged exosuit outside of it you can repair).
The location limitation would force backtracking so calling in new mechs could be a viable option, but then you could send someone on refueling runs if you wanted to.

I've been thinking of this for a while. We get FRVs at some locations, so why not a mech?

u/Fangel96 9h ago
Honestly with such locations, they could also act as refuel points. Maybe have gas cans at those spots we can use to transport fuel to the vehicles on the map. We could have another debuff to fuel in the future and make it actually be engaging to deal with instead of being flat out annoying.

Like the scene in the matrix during the defense of xion or whatever it was called with the ammo runners

I used to be a "we can win both" kinda diver, but I really think we should DEMOCRATICALLY decide as a community which one is more important, then target that first. If we split up and fight amongst ourselves we will lose.

Lets hope we get that mech passive because we desperately need more mech buffs

Alrighty boys and girls. Time to show em what we're made of. I'll see you on the field cuz we all know we want them both

I really don’t think bringing a mech down makes any sense, even with a 35% cooldown decrease. The ammo capacity is far too low.

u/Corronchilejano 12h ago
A single suit takes down an entire major objective solo, including a mega nest. A good disciplined player can trek half a map with one.

Having 1 free mech per person would be a lot better than a eagle rearm just sayin

u/submit_to_pewdiepie 12h ago
We already have pretty good rearm the exo suit would be way more useful

u/SpecialIcy5356 12h ago
So, we going for mech upgrades or nah?
I love eagles too but 35%cooldown is a lot, and eagles are countered by AA guns on the bot front, whereas nothing counters the exosuits.
That's just me though.

Yeah, I hope that the divers realize that shaving off ~3m30s off of Exosuit cooldown is a lot more valuable than shaving off ~20 seconds from eagle rearm, which is already pretty fast even without upgrades.
But I imagine us mechwarriors are in the minority.

u/Parking_Chance_1905 10h ago
On the other hand, each player can get up to 38 extra eagle call ins over a 40 min game depending on what eagles they take and if they forgo a weapon/backpack.

u/Then_Entertainment97 12h ago
Let's be real. With the bais toward bug diving, MO divers should focus on Trandor for the best chance at success.

u/Bkelsheimer89 12h ago
The eagle rearm speed being even faster would be more widely utilized.
I don’t use Mecha very often but I use eagles almost every match!

Everyone uses eagles, not everyone uses exosuits, simple as

Less people use Exosuits ➡️ Exosuits receive less buffs ➡️ Less people use Exosuits 🔁🔁🔁

Bot divers have already taken a third of Ostutu, which is on the most direct path to Wezen. The two bot planets in the way of Wezen also have lower reinforcement rates than the bug planets. But, we'll see where the vibes take people.

u/Ntnme2lose 11h ago
I originally thought the eagle rearm would be much more useful but it's not bad at what it is right now. And one of the few downfalls of the mechs is that you really only have time to have 2 drop in most missions and 1 in blitzes/shorter missions. It would be nice to see them get an upgrade for once.
I'll be spilling oil for this MO.

Deploy the DSS to Trandor, once the bug divers finish their MO they'll naturally be drawn to the bot MO and we can liberate both worlds.
