I dunno - Beserkers with axes seems more fitting ...  True, but Captains with shields is pretty epic  The Templar with the sword and shield was actually a Templar Paladin. Captains can carry shields, and Berserkers can carry axes. |

Hydras and Neptune Troopers are best for defensive missions, as their best armors are minus 2 AP, and their weaponry is best at conserving AP/reactionary attacks. I use the -1 AP armor. May not be best protection, but less AP penalty. Took a squad of four. Captain, soldier, Neptune and Hydra through all the campaigns with no loss of life. Slower than using scouts but unkillable when used right. Frequently led with the Neptune (since he can't shoot over the shoulder of anyone else) and patiently led the line forwards. Hydra would occasionally spread fire behind me as I progressed to stop xeno approaching from behind. The only problem with that approach is the hydra would occasionally run out of ammo on longer missions meaning he was a passenger by the end. Armor in TA2 will not reduce AP, but can reduce or improve MP. In TA2, the levels will dictate some of the squad and it will be up to you to deploy the rest. But you'll have to spend more Supply Points (SP) on heavies like the Neptune. In TA2, primary weapons have unlimited ammo -- but you have to manage Heat and most of your special abilities and attacks have ammo or max uses (like buffs, big AoE attacks, grenades, etc.) |

It is all going to be out there in a matter of weeks, so we might as well be up front about what we're being up front about.

Officer Genious this is normal dear. I think that the TB's are just doing a science experiment using us as the guinea pigs. The experiment premise is "What would happen if we gave a population an excessive amount of goodness overload for multiple years. What would this population do?" Hypothesis 1: People would glut at the beginning of the experiment, and then settle into a normalized routine in the longer term Hypothesis 2: Some of the population would go nuts and revert to base physiological needs and behavior Hypothesis 1 failed because the TB's forgot that their products were indeed highly addictive, resulting in people trying their best to play 28 hours per day. Further, with weekly updates, this had the effect of providing another hit of digital crack, resulting in substantially reduced abilities for the population to self-wean off the drug. Adding new games to the mix (including the launched but still updating HoS, and upcoming TA2, and ST2) really failed to stop the excessive consumption. Hypothesis 2 is undecided. This author strongly believes that the population (of which he is part of) has coped remarkably well with the dangerous levels of OhMyGoodnessAnotherUpdate that results from the TB output. We, as a group represent a very normal cross-section of society, so long as society is defined as including all of the animals, plant life, and radioactive material that is found on our planet.
