Imagine all this without double armor. It will be insane. This is why the devs decided to have double armor cus of the accuracy of FPS n not random diceroll.

One thing more than any other factor makes me want to try this:
The way Vdek is laughing maniacally during most of his videos.

So apparently, PPCs weren't buffed this patch because of the 6ppc stalker of doom. Sorry guys!

The reason it is taking longer than you might expect: Imagine a Mech, we'll call it 'Marked One.' It is in Frozen City, and has six of a certain energy weapon.
You can see where this is going, I imagine.

I don't call it "Marked One" though.

PPCs definitely do need a buff IMO, hit detection is still a bit wonky and they do produce quite a bit of heat.

"tough fight against skilled opponent"

Is it viable to run a PPC boat Stalker with a Standard Engine? If so what would be the build for it? I find I tend to lose a side torso before I lose my center torso so the XL engine decreases your lifespan.

Yea, I bought 3 Stalkers when we got our free 8 million C-Bills. Have been working on Hunchback Master Unlocks with my Founders only. Got master on 2 of my Catapults. Going to do Stalkers next. Not a big fan of Lights which is why I am doing 1 from Medium (Cicada will be another I do) and got Master unlocks on 2 of my Catapults.

Lol, it's funny how fondly we can remember the days of trying to come up with a keyboard config to fly and shoot 3D games.


Although few combat games in my memory have been as entertaining as the good old X-Wing/Tie etc.

I remember there was a 3D shareware flyer called Descent 3D or something like that, around the times of Duke Nukem and the early Quake's. What a bear to fly, but a real blast too.

Going to be trying various versions of high-alpha stalkers, once I can grind out some C-bills for it (hint hint devs please fix economy so I can go back to earning some serious bills cough hint cough).

Don't think I would go 6PPC but some of these other builds have looked pretty tempting.

Descent was a great game, but watching other people play it literally gave me migraines.
