They also earn less.

At recruit level?

UPDATE: Not only can you buy Mk2 at recruit, you can also buy any of the augments without rank restriction. So imagine setting up a combo with Hornet Mk2 + Vulcan Mk2 + Heat Immunity + Incendiary Band and all without firing a shot in battle.

They've done it before to make sales. The Freeze turret, for example. Remember when they buffed it? No one had a chance because they died in less than 2 seconds. Then we saw the Freeze turret all over the place. They nerfed it back not 'normal' a couple of weeks later. Then the Freeze turrets started to decline in numbers in battles. And now they took away the freeze effect on the turret part of the target so people can 'defend' themselves. (See? Devs listen to complaints.) What was the use of taking away the freeze effect if that was Freeze's primary characteristic?

Yeah, what's up with this?

It's now the only counter to a nuke.

This is like the baseball card hobby. You open packs and boxes hoping to get that hot rookie card, but you end up with a bunch of commons, whozits, and semi-stars at best. If you are going to be a buyer, then focus on that one item/augment that counts instead of trying to outsmart the system. If you do that, then a.) you will have what you want and b.) you will not get stuck with the many things you don't want.

Autocannon is more like a troll turret - very little damage with the normal shots but totally annoying when you don't know where it's coming from. However, if you stay on target, the CRITs come faster. Also, the speed of the reload interrupts the target's repair kit from performing a total heal as long as you stay on target. I just wish this alt had a little more impact.

Where's mom's spaghetti?

Useful if there is speedy Wasp planting a nuke right next to you or some opposing Titan decides to put up a tent right next to you.

Feel free to fire forever, but the Heat Immunity augment should automatically disable Incendiary Band alteration. No overheat = no incendiary. Logical mechanics. I totally enjoy this combo, but it doesn't seem fair.

The Shop and my wallet seemed to have grown some sort of bond.

I like this.

Looks like people will complain no matter what.

Oh damn. I meant "Shop".

Question: will augments show up in the garage just like XT, UT and Prime equipment?

I will donate my cholesterol count. The count is ∞. Yes, on my cholesterol test they found bacon.

I got cigarettes. Anyone got ramen noodles for trade?

Terminator - the default turret of Juggernaut

The new Twins.

Fixed it for you.

Wow. I just tested it. You are right. One would think Incendiary Band only works when your hull starts to overheat (or at least begin when your ammo bar is depleted and your health bar is starting to be used by Vulcan. Otherwise, Heat Immunity should automatically cancel out Incendiary Band.

What is the matter with you? Don't give them any ideas.

How cute! But no. 3?

I think it carried over from the old forum.
