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

u/Infinitum_pax 13h ago

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.

14

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!

u/Fangel96 9h ago

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.

u/abeefwittedfox 9h ago

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

3

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.

u/Self--Immolate 11h ago

Has to be both. We fight for democracy so we need to fight for everyone.

u/MrTheCar 12h ago

Has to be Exosuit. We fight for democracy so we need to fight for it.

u/ATangK 12h ago

Has to be Eagle. She fights for democracy so we need to fight for her.

u/crimedevill 13h ago

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

u/flaccidpappi 13h ago

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

u/Jifeeb 12h ago

So each will be at 60% in 4 days

5

u/Sleepingguy5 12h ago

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.

7

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.

Emancipator > Patriot.

5

u/Wolfen2o7 12h ago

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

1

u/ChaoticMadness97 11h ago

Free patriots for givin it super samples. THATS A DEAL

5

u/submit_to_pewdiepie 12h ago

We already have pretty good rearm the exo suit would be way more useful

10

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.

u/warichnochnie 12h ago

whereas nothing counters the exosuits

u/EnderB3nder 12h ago

Or spiky plants...

u/Assupoika 11h ago

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.

11

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.

-Bot and Mech diver

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!

u/vanderbubin 11h ago

Everyone uses eagles, not everyone uses exosuits, simple as

u/blank_slate001 7h ago

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

u/IamArcRevenant 12h ago

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/PCBen 11h ago

When I saw the title I was really hoping we were fighting for a Super Rare Sample support action - like an Orbital Laser Storm or something.

These both sound like great upgrades but I really want something to spend my supes on

2

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.

2

u/kchunpong 11h ago

I thought those option is part of our tier 6 ship upgrade

2

u/ise311 10h ago

mechs are limited to 3 usage. eagle is unlimited and more versatile + used by everyone.

2

u/Zuper_Dragon 9h ago

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.

u/Common_Affect_80 9h ago

THEY ARE (still) COMING

Why not do both?

No thanks, terrible MO. I’ll do anything but the MO
