Also, Super Aryan?

Makes me think of King Bradley, though there are probably other characters from that show that fit the bill better.

 

[Damned Registrations]

The era of unavoidable losses.

Welp, that was quick.

Huh, haven't seen this one before. You know, I don't even want to trade the liber in for tokens, I just want another lightning book.

No enemies nearby?

Did not expect this. I mean, yeah, they're cannibals... but this is a rank B mission. These are... completely trivial.

I guess they're HP sponges at least. But they use blowguns and bows vs our power armour and tanks. This is a joke. I was expecting a bunch of werewolves or something.

Pro tip: If you would like to throw the magical throwing hammer, do not select 'Throw'. That will casually toss it on the ground.

Bizarre mission. Like this was much easier than the Rank C mission with the funky zombies.

Got this from another date with Saya. Apparently she dispenses random info for us now. Cool.

Another nice random event! Not sure power armoured catgirls will beat blitz ones, but would be nice to have a better outfit for space missions...

Decided to do another base raid since we're in such good shape now. Seems we got the trader guild this time! Thought we did this before but maybe that was my original playthrough before the LP.

Anyways, they have these guys. They're like tanks that can bite you. Except they die to miniguns because they lack armour.

Unfortunately, killing the boomasaurus and everything else nearby did not stop the enemy from firing a fucking rocket directly at our equipment stash. So that got blown up. This is what is left. God I hate these stupid fucking base missions. What was I supposed to do, go in with the bare minimum of equipment then just fucking leave when the map loads and I find out I brought the wrong weapons? I guess I should be happy the bombard shells didn't explode and kill us all.

This was the tank that did that by the way. Threaded the needle from over here, probably rolled in from 3 screens away. Good luck avoiding that shit!

Apparently the boomasaurus can explode when killed. Good to know.

I'm rushing this mission pretty hard, partly from confidence and partly because I'm just salty. We took some unnecesary wounds for sure.

YAY. We got fuck all!

List of shit we lost. Items of note: Mono claws (thats a diamond, half a hovertank right there!) 3 poisoned daggers (poison is a bitch to get, I'll have to build a hive to replace those probably) AC-Cry ammo (Can't be made or bought, only looted from the exterminator guys) Herder Staff (Rare drop from a very particular mission I haven't seen in like a year, incredibly powerful too) and various high level weapons and ammo that are expensive or difficult to make, like the fucking 6 force blades or all that XG shit or the Fatties.

We did get this guy in exchange, to be fair. Never even saw him, he surrendered after we killed the last tank.

Still fucking mad.

Oh, wow, great, that makes up for everything! (These are actually pretty decent but still, fuck this mission.)

 

[Jaedar]

Well, seems we won't need to repeat that ordeal, at least. Not sure what I'd do different if we did, the only other thing we could bring would be space suits, and while they'd take way less warp damage, they'd get annihilated by the miniguns or plasma.

There's one thing to note here, in that this mission is the only way I know of to get glitterdust, and if you move the storyline forward the mission eventually obsoletes itself. So you may want to build up a stockpile.

Guildmaster is also a good pickup.

If he doesn't finish it soon expect some delays: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/im-taking-a-3-month-trip-to-japan-in-a-few-weeks-advice.150362/

So, uh, yeah. No way I'm getting this done before the trip. I may or may not do another update or two, but once I'm there I probably won't, as whatever time I do spend playing vidya will probably be keeping my Dom 6 game running. So this is likely going on a long hiatus.

[lightbane]

New patch is out, along with a new ending, allegedly! I dunno if it's an actual endgame level, or a special mission which lets you keep playing after you're done. Still, it's surprising the mod would go that far.

Have they fixed the bug where enemies often don't use their Blaster Launcher?

[Damned Registrations]

Everything dies.

Fortunately, we have the Green Codex for that.

It's Thursday, you bastards!

Hopefully this is the last time I need to update the mod and clear out a million early game techs we already did. On the bright side, since it coincides with me having not played for 4 months, I was going to need to doublecheck a million things anyways, like what equipment we can make as apparently I got all our good shit incinerated in the last update. Whoops.

Damn I missed these tunes.

Well, at least I can do all the research at the same time I replace a bunch of our lost equipment. On the bright side, I made a list. On the other hand, I forgot how to make the parts to make the parts to make the parts to make the weapons. At least I remembered we need to kill a sectopod to get those fucking magischen motors. Which we need to make forceblades, apparently. Well, we can just loot those from the church. The other good news is we can just outright buy some decent shit at this point. Will probably end up using some new stuff because of that- I tend to favour things we crafted and researched individually, or looted, because it's got some sentimental attachment, you know? But realistically, a lot of the best stuff is just off the shelf, like the crazy guided rockets I used to clear out that canyon mission.

...Anyways, I know it's rather dull, but to avoid FUBARing the entire game right away, we'll start off slow with a milk run.

Yep, like shooting fish in a barrel. Thankfully, it all feels more familiar than I was expecting it to, didn't have any troubles with the UI at all, though I'm sure I'm still doing something dumb like using strafe instead of run at some moments or something.

Dang, maybe I do need to craft some of the stuff we lost, these XG sniper guns are insane. Thankfully everyone is still kitted out in great stuff and half of it doesn't even need ammo.

Didn't bother snapshotting them all, but there's several new early game techs that seem to mostly be there as tutorials/tips. Presumably they smooth out some of the early game gear acquisition as well for you limp wristed pansies that don't enjoy using hunting bows and javelins against necro pirates with cannons and dynamite.

Free brainer early game would be nice too if you're struggling. If I didn't have a bunch of other stuff planned I'd be totally down for another run of this right after finishing this LP.

Haven't run the numbers yet but I suspect this is another failure to compete with the plastic chips. I'll look into it a bit later.

Another thing I've forgotten- our general goals and various hanging plot threads. Getting the next level of bounties seems like an obvious thing to do, but fuck if I know which dragons we have or haven't been noticed by.

A bit more dicking around and a notice of a full inventory at one base reminded me we're trying to build a giant spaceship as well. And I think amass like a billion dollaroos? There was witch stuff too, something with red mage and the shadow realms, the nazis having a moon base... and who knows which things are even finished plots. Ah well, I'm sure we'll find something fun to do.

My other big fear coming back is that I'm going to forget about some ship that is way off the power curve and get one of mine blown up. Fortunately the ones I targetted so far have been pushovers. IIRC this Nightmare in particular is an absolute beast with some incredible pilots and a rare shield accessory. It never seems to even get hit.

Shot down a bomber. I wasn't expecting a crash site honestly- I don't think we've had one before, and I often avoid the bombers because small chance of massive damage = bad idea generally speaking, but I looked at the numbers and it seemed safe, so here we are.

Man I forgot how tanky these fuckers are if you're not using the right weaponry, he shrugged the mjolnir off like nothing. Well, that's what Lightbane is here for, corrupting innocent human minds to our purposes. The gun is still listed as 'weird thingie' here so it seems this is about on par with our current tech envelope, as I'm pretty sure normal plasma weapons are unlocked for us now. Also, that was a giant nuclear charge in his belt. So, that was a closer call than I'd have liked. Bet the AI was planning to arm it and suicide rush him into the ship.

Not that it needs such tricks to drown us in plasma explosions. I don't even know what kind of fucking gun this is, but I want one.

Where the fuck did this bow come from? I want like 6 more. I mean, it'd be half as good on anyone that isn't Lenneth or Maria, but even so. We can fire this fucking thing 5 times a turn for ~100 plasma damage at extreme range over cover?

Also noticed something about this thing I'm pretty sure I was previously oblivious to: that little bit about 'no matter the distance or visibility'?

That's not flavour text. This thing fires warp damage rounds clear across the map, through smoke, beyond line of sight at full accuracy. Shame we need shadow orbs to make them.

It actually took down like half the guys in power armour, the warp damage bypasses red shields and does extra vs heavy armour. Slut managed to finish a mission against giant laser cannons without dying! Huzzah!

Hmm, bit underwhelming, but we need those life support systems for the habitation module at the very least.

Got some xp here and there. I think mostly it's revived people recovering stats they lost.

Implosion bomb launcher parts sounds promising... Plasma bombs are new too if I'm not mistaken.

Oh, and we lost more fucking gear. Around turn ~4 or so, one of them threw a grenade through the elevator to the roof, at our troops he couldn't see but knew of because of that fucking spotter mechanic. Kaboom. At least we didn't have as much to lose this time. I'm tempted to switch back to the kraken as our troop ship. Losing the tanks and the ceiling hatch would suck, but at least it wasn't vulnerable to shit like this.

Finally some decent space suits we can mass produce. Or rather, simply buy. I hope they're decent anyways. I think we've seen rimrider neoks with flying suits, if they're on par with those we're golden.

Heh, finally a benefit for our path. Shame it's about 3 tech tiers too late to be relevant. Would have been pretty nice in the early game though, before we had the codex and 4 other medbay variants.

 

[Jaedar]

Man stuck in increasingly busted timeline: only way out is killing aliens. So. Many. Aliens.
The free brainer from pharmacist can be gotten first week or something. It's a pretty serious early game boost.

Also, marsec is scary.

 

[lightbane]

Since there's a new endgame besides the standard Mars route, let's see if you'll try this one rather than the Mars one for a change.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Business as usual

Hmm, the 'Gnomes of Zurich' makes me wonder if starting a base there would give a special starting bonus.

Dang, this would have been a nice option early game instead of needing to make helicopters to shoot crap down.

Another nice addition to the game, glamour is always good to have.

Results from 10 blackmail projects. Labour wise they're easy, and we got back the databases spent, but the 'zines are gone. 5 zines a pop... this isn't worth it unless you're in dire need of glamour, as zines are hard to come by, generally speaking.

Alternate pipeline for earlygame medical knowledge? Cool. Especially given that the equipment can be hard to come by.

Another cool tech we've outgrown.

Now this.... this might still be useful. Not sure what Menace hulls are exactly, but if these can carry stasis pods, terminator parts, or anything related to Syns... it'd be worth a lot of effort even for a slim chance. Consider some labour diverted.

Neat lore tidbit. I like the ones that connect back to the first game the most, as I haven't played the sequels.

Well, unless there's a way to make the obsidian chips out of nothing, this is the end of the line here. The gold level chip crack turned out to be slightly better than the plastic- about 25k per 260 hours instead of 20k. It gets a little fuzzy with the actual conversion when you sell chips and I can't be bothered for the rounding errors. The problem is, that requires golden chips to use, which are rare enough we'd run out real fast. Well, now we can convert one obsidian to 10 gold, so problem solved right? Well, two things. First of all, that requires obsidian chips, which are very rare and I'd rather hoard them in case some weird recipe pops up that uses them to make a cool sword or whatever. It also requires gold, but we can apparently just buy that. Note to self- buy more gold to turn into theban catgirls. Those are awesome.

Doing a bunch of random missions and craft shootdowns, nothing we haven't seen before. Ninjas seem like good targets right now, I think taking out their hideouts should be on the todo list, and some of their higher tier units might still have tech for us, like the skyforge engineers and their weird bribery mechanic.

And hey, even the normal ones can be molested for glamour and 'zines.

Did we see these before? I thought we did, but if so I think it was some rare one time deal.

Underwhelming for our purposes. I suppose if you had a whole squad of bombers dropping this shit all at once on a giant target it could be useful? But even then, surely the point of taking down such a craft is to salvage the remains, and I doubt this would leave any.

Another cool early game thing. Dunno if it's as good as the fire room, but I doubt it's doing much to anything my turrets aren't wiping out.

Catgirl power armour! The other variant is basically the same, but red and slightly tweaked stats, with better laser/plasma resistance but 10 less armour and instead of the nice health and throwing bonuses, gives a few extra TUs instead of costing them. I think the blitz armour is still better for sure, but if you wanted to make some really overpowered catgirls, I think using these suits to cross train them with heavier weaponry would go a long way. Plus, these work in space and cold weather.

Ahh... that's what the Menace thing was, the class of ships we were supposed to use our special hull to make. Maybe we can get more, or some better variant?

Ugh, not today we can't. 1/3rd chance my ass, I ran this like 10 times and always got a rock.

1 down, 3 to go. Or we won't bother and we'll do the other ending. Frankly, whichever we get to first is likely to happen unless one seems way cooler. We're certainly not close to this one yet though.

MONEY! Having to replace lost equipment has made me realize just how much shit we can buy now, either directly or indirectly through buying components we previously needed to loot. Integrated circuits, for example, previously only came from academy troops. Well, now we can buy optronic parts and glue them together into the integrated thingies, which are used for making really nice weapons like the XG stuff and power armours and such.

Iron Cross vessel? That's not in our books... time to face check it.

It's image is mysteriously jammed! I wonder why this could be? Sadly, we blew it up over the ocean, so we don't get to see what it looked like or had on board. Went down easily enough though, I'll try harder next time to get the salvage.

This seems new. Maybe it'll lead to a cool event? Right now it feels like we're largely at the mercy of the RNG to give us some cool missions to progress various plot threads and unfinished tech chains. I can't visit the nazi moon bases if they don't show up. Ah well, we'll amass more cash and equipment for now. I should really do more base raids as well, at the very least I want to take down a church base to get the force circuits we need for shield tech and force blades. They should be a cakewalk with the xg weapons, which bypass their shields. Honestly it's mostly the mercs I fear at this point, those gauss tanks and invisible commandos are still a bit scary.

 

[Jaedar]

Ugh, not today we can't. 1/3rd chance my ass, I ran this like 10 times and always got a rock.

It really is 33% chance. I looked it up. Menace ships are a bit low tech compared to other things you have available at this point tbh. It's a shame we never saw it, the bonaventura has a cool layout. Way back you used to have it from day 0.

It's image is mysteriously jammed! I wonder why this could be? Sadly, we blew it up over the ocean, so we don't get to see what it looked like or had on board. Went down easily enough though, I'll try harder next time to get the salvage.

It looks exactly like you would expect a nazi ship called iron cross would look. As for salvage It only has some lore that doesn't go anywhere iirc. Humanists being a minor faction is such a ripoff tbh, considering they build their own plasma, and make their own ships.

This seems new. Maybe it'll lead to a cool event?

Who knows ? It's just a you made a base not in a country, have a free research event. But I guess you had all the research already.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Useless Chapter Title

Finally got the fucking thing! It is indeed an extra spacious hull.

I suppose I'll actually make the damned thing now, and we can take a look at it. IIRC the main advantage of the thing is having a lot of STC slots, and those are not actually that useful at this point because the components to make those are insanely rare. But we got the room and the money.

I'd been waiting to see if this thing would get bigger or something, but it seems not, so I'm just going to take it out as a prelude to wiping out the main ninja base. Perhaps that will move things forward in lieu of the game actually giving me storyline missions.

Gandalf still MVP as ever, clearing out like 6 enemies on turn 0. To be fair it's that green skull that makes the book so busted, but even so, nothing else would pair with it nearly so well.

Slut gets stranded on the roof due to poor TU management. It's fine, there's only 6 turrets in LOS.

It's actually fine though, we've got enough heavy support to wipe most of them out.

At least the grenades are landing outside the ship this time. They're also way too weak to hurt Slut.

I really ought to use Belle more often. This advanced minilauncher thing is insane, 108% accuracy at this distance, ammo variety, only 28 TU's per shot. I'm always worried about getting her killed because she's a high value veteran, but still just a normal human. That medic armour is fairly tanky though, despite lacking shields.

Can you spot what's wrong with this picture? Hint: 90% of my team can no longer access the remaining enemies on the map.

Thankfully, Lenneth can fly, and could have probably solo'd the map if so inclined. Mission success, flawless victory!

Well, mostly flawless. I was intending to take a few more of those engineers alive, but uh... turns out STUN minibombs and ACID minibombs are both purple. How could I have possibly known?!?

Oh now we're talking! I feel like we had a shot at this before and needed to flee for some reason. I kinda of want to look for it in the thread to see if I noticed anything important, but I probably won't find the right entry. Next LP I do is definitely getting proper chapter titles and an index for easier searching. It'll probably be even more important in that one, given it's nature.

Pretty optimistic of you to already be planning your next LP.

Winter palace is going to be an enjoyable read. Suffer for our amusement. Your previous update that featured it was https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads...-to-the-star-gods.148252/page-48#post-8918556

 

[Damned Registrations]

Can you believe she was dumb enough to come back here?

At any rate, we're bailing for now. We could certainly win, but it'd be dumb to get a bunch of our squishy units killed in the process, and there's no cover here to save the gnomes or catgirls from indiscriminate bullet spam. We'll come back with a heavily armoured squad instead next time.

Found it. Edit: I did it myself I swear! I start typing these up as I play sometimes.

Really wish I could find a playlist with all these songs.

Uhh, pay no attention to this. Nothing happening here. Nope.

Anyways, for people that don't want to check the last post on this mission, this is the basic layout. We spawn in the two southern corners of a big map littered with trees and pillboxes (the big blue dots.) At the north end is a giant wall, presumably with more guns on it.

Oh, and it's fucking winter, so we can't bring the catgirls in blitz armour to murderize everything. They'd freeze their tits off. And they've got amazing tits.

These things were my main concern last time, combined with the fact that I'd brought some squishy people along, like some gnomes and catgirls. Well, technically I brought catgirls this time too but they're in power armour. Everyone is in power armour. Or a tank. Or a giant loader suit. The point is, these pillboxes can't do shit to us now, so the fact we can't wipe them out on round 0 isn't a problem.

And oh man, I was trying to wipe them out on round zero. To be fair, it'd be possible with the right sort of explosives, but that gets awkward when you don't want to leave them laying on the ground. Which was the other big change this time- no extra gear. Everything we brought is on our bodies.

Though I did bring SOME explosives that could handle a bunker or two... Sadly couldn't fire it this round, as it requires a total of 147 TUs to prime and throw. Those verses about St. Atilla take a while, I tell ya.

Dang, they certainly have some guns somewhere. Field guns on the wall probably, they were firing in bursts of 3.

Did not expect her to get hurt, but she was floating up a bit and it must have given them LOS. Annoyingly, the shots hit the weak under armour once they got through the shields. We're fine though.

Most of the infantry have shitty old weapons like this, or weak laser rifles. There's dogs too, both normal and those weird cyborg dogs.

This mission turned out to be a great chance to train Lady Luck achievements (hit a target when chance to hit is smaller than the distance to them) on our minigunners. Which, honestly, is the main reason I have minigunners besides looking cool. We've got way better options now, but that achievement is a great one.

Despite way better weaponry and room to be more aggressive with the bio suits, we still take multiple turns on these bunkers. Things must have a ton of health. Vibro axe and thor's hammer do a good job on this side though. I'd give the hammer to slut if her throwing skill weren't such ass. Oasis is rocking it, but could be useful with guns as well.

Infantry on the wall as well as the field guns. Going to be a pain to finish them off.

As we approach, the guns have more and more trouble firing through the tree cover, while simultaneously clearing it out so we can return fire more easily. Good shit.

I really wish we had a flight suit for our Syn. Or more Syns. She's awesome in this battle though, casually shrugging off machineguns and cannon fire alike. I think she takes only 40% damage from explosives, before the armour is factored in. She used to have like 30 health so was still kinda vulnerable, but she's nearing 80 now with all the achievements. Basically unkillable.

This one pillbox is way over here. Which is handy, because I didn't want to get anyone else caught in the blast.

Big road down the middle is handy if you're driving a murder tank firing plasma bolts.

Even the venerable Fatty is getting some use in. This thing still kicks.

Though we ate a LOT of return fire. He actually went insane in the next round, it seems the field guns do a ton of morale damage even if the armour mostly shrugged off the ~10 shells he ate.

Our foes, being naughty in our sight, shall snuff it.

Good thing I wasn't able to throw that earlier. I, uh, didn't actually check the blast radius. Was not expecting that.

Gandalf finally gets in range of the walls and starts doing the sith lord thing. Highly effective.

Also, I forgot to take the dagger off, so Soup here just casually fired this massive nuclear laser cannon with one hand and landed the shot. Nice.

Have I mentioned I love this bow?

The enemies even help us out by whiffing shots into their own fortifications, blowing themselves up. I think a few went insane and chucked grenades or dynamite as well. Or maybe fired a rocket launcher.

Cyberdog woke back up while I wasn't looking, but we put it back to sleep. Hopefully we can tame them or something, but it's doubtful.

Eventually Lenneth gets up on the walls and starts take heads. Or maybe livers.

No way into the wall from the ground, sadly. I even tried digging through the walls a bit. Apparently we could have just beelined through the gate and moved on, but fuck that shit, we're not letting anyone escape.

Yeah, saw this coming.

Kind of neat seeing all the enemy equipment we captured laid out like this.

Oh look, they built tank sized staircases for us to use! Very helpful. Remind me to send the architect a boom-fruit basket.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Oh my fucking god this mission.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Fully a deuce.

Hmm, new enemy?

New enemy.

Oh great, they explode. They also deal electrical damage, so they're kind of an actual threat to Maria. Seem fairly fragile though, and no ranged attacks?

This is why we wore power armour.

Oh great, there's a basement. Probably where the queen is.

Well, for now we need to thin enemies out and get a lay of the land. Looks like a huge mansion. Ranged door operation engaged.

Oh yeah, this is gonna suck.

So... many... enemies...

Ye gods, they've acquired beard technology.

Also these guys, who are actually scary. That cannon is no joke.

Guard/Gun stats

Well, they fall to poison knives at least, but they take quite a few stabs. Warp isn't actually very good vs them, at least not our version. Something is very fucky with that gun. I should have brought the warp cannons.

Hologirl deployed.

Very convincing.

Casual tank overwatch on a stairwell.

Their shitty weapons are so funny to me. Can you imagine being the guy with a fucking pistol and saber while the guy next to you has power armour and a tank cannon?

There's quite a few of the royal guard too. Thankfully half of them only have plasma pistols.

Trying to EMP one to take a prisoner. We got soup next to him, but purple shields basically ignore EMP.

They got a lot more shots off than I'd intended.

Good to find a big open space in here. More please.

More cyber dogs too.

Unlike previous runs in a mansion, this time the walls quickly became swiss cheese.

That's what you get for tanking a durandal, apparently. He's going to be in the sickbay for like 2 months.

Apparently we can drive the tank over the gap in the stairs.

Partial map.

Opposite corner, 2 floors up. This place has like... 8? To be fair 3 of those are basically empty.

Another big empty space. Kinda surprised they aren't full of guards.

Something weird happened here. Killed a guard (government agent, actually) in the bathroom here but had another enemy visible. But couldn't find them, they were just in a black void a floor above...

Good enough for the bow apparently. No idea how that LOS worked.

Another giant room. Basement isn't revealing much, it's just a warren of tunnels.

Jackpot. This has to be the spot, double doors we need to break through.

We're on the roof too finally.

Gandalf is in the same corner as the vault is, but in the basement. Not seeing a way in from here though.

Sending Belle over to help keep Aurora alive if we can knock her out, but she gets intercepted by a lot of flaming shotgun shells.

Lucky for us, this gun is a joke vs medic armour.

Belle has some fun putting him down.

Ah, more robo maids. They kind of vanished after the entrance. Was expecting worse, honestly.

Ah, cyberdogs too.

Couldn't get through the armour, but they sure fucked it up. Axe took them out though.

Witchery rooms in this version of the mansion too. Seems we'll be getting some cool magic stuff, probably libers.

Gah, more dogs! That's like 6 so far.

Well shit. She should be fine though, with the bio armour regen.

Or not. Whatever. I swear she's fucking cursed.

Amusingly, this actually makes her basically harmless, since the gun scales off voodoo power.

This is even funnier.

Area above the vault had a bunch of field guns, and a hidden stairwell it took me a while to notice.

Figures. I was wondering how they'd avoid the possibility of her dying/living depending on what we did in combat with her.

Seems there was a whole clusterfuck of rooms between the vault and roof. Probably a much easier way to take the bodyguards on.

Yeah, instead of tight quarters and bottlenecks we were basically in a shooting gallery and got surrounded by dogs.

Still, dogs went down, then maids, and finally robo queen.

That seemed to trigger the enemy zerg rush, and one of them shot our wounded catgirl. Thankfully, she survived. Nine lives and all that.

On the bright side, this treasury under the vault should pay for a new bio suit and then some.

Map even has the same room used for entrance/evac from our first mansion raid. Nostalgic. No evac for us though.

Enemies were taking forever to surrender, turns out this guy was hanging around.

This is going to suck. Francesca here has been at 0 freshness for basically the last half of the previous map, and plenty of other gals are entering single digits too. We've burned through a bunch of cigars as well. Going to need to properly shuffle around a lot of gear and supplies to fix that problem as best I can. at least looking at the pile of jewels can soothe my soul. Until an enemy drops a plasma charge on it when we start phase 3.

 

[lightbane]

Can you imagine being the guy with a fucking pistol and saber while the guy next to you has power armour and a tank cannon?

Russia. Or Wh40k. 3 parts mission without warning suck indeed. Let's hope it's not a 4th parter.
