    Drop ships buff sounds like a soft nerf to the AT emplacement, unless automaton drop ships can still be two shot in the engines. It also probably nerfs RR from one-shotting automaton drop ships, which was a bit OP if we can all be honest.

    I’d rather this than make the AT emplacement weaker, taking down drops has been a little too easy, and I think the emplacement is in a good place otherwise

      Yeah in some matches, the drop ships just clutter the screen from being shot down so fast

    There was also a note on yet another performance hit, this time by the updated NPC behavior and pathing.

    Sad because performance has been getting worse and worse since the illuminate update. Went from 60-90fps consistently on medium on my 5700XT to now 45-70 on medium-low with full game 100ms-0.5s stutters and drops down to like 20 on illuminate maps. Sad. My friends with 2070S, 5700XT, and a 7600XT all see the same behavior. I just hope soon they put a bit of time back into optimization.

    I appreciate the Eruptor not being strictly worse than the crossbow anymore, but did they really have to reset ALL my controls?

    Did not expect them to buff the exosuits, they were quite powerful already. Still gonna take my third mech for democracy of course.

        I really like them for blitz missions where the limited recalls don’t matter either way. Just waltz right through their nests and shoot an auto cannon shot in every spawner.

        Reloading would be really cool though.

        Maybe make it a second stratagem and you have to carry them by hand, climb up the mech and put the magazines in. A team reload for mechs.

        Could also add the ability for other players to hold onto the side and hitch a ride while they are at it.

      Back in the day RR shots to the body did not take them down in one shot. I know cause I usually miss the engine and hit the body. Engines were the key to down them in one shot.
