![]() I’ve lately taken to using a Arm Modded Vulcan, whose Headbutt has outright killed lesser Mechs. Raven Play for me centers on deferring to Phase One and having an “Bouncer” at the door of the ECM Bubble. The keys to Raven Play in this Mission are a variation of the ones I routinely use later in the game. These loaner Mechs, a Raven, Javelin, Griffin and Trebuchet, are uniquely suited to the Mission at hand. The reason for this is that so much of the Heavy Lifting is accomplished by Mechs not my own. I’ve chosen to do this FLASHPOINT almost as soon as it pops up on the Star Map, pausing only to finish those contracts I choose to my the planet I am currently on. The early Missions for this FLASHPOINT are not all that demanding. What has pleasantly surprised me is just how much depth there is to Raven Play. Why the hell wasn't I allowed to just bring my team, anyway? Grr.Įdit: removed spoiler tags due to post migration I'm fuming, just because of how much of my time is wasted on this nonsense. And once again, the "borrowed" pilots can't hit the broad side of a barn on an immobile enemy. I'm much more cautious, but once again, even while bringing up the rear, the bloody Raven gets sensor locked three turns running, and the LRMs pour in so hard the torso is ripped to shreds, losing the ECM and in a follow-up volley destroys the CT. As before, taking the base in the first mission is fine. Have to RELOAD because the NPC lance I'm given, while not bad for mech configuration, are absolutely GARBAGE pilots (seriously, a guy with the callsign of "Conqueror" can't land ANY of his 10 fired PPC shots before they blow his torso off? I'm DONE), which means doing the first mission again. I'm sorry, but that SUCKS, and is especially a burn after all the crap about how awesome ECM is, I just need to watch out for this one Achilles heel, which happens to be the very first thing I encounter. ![]() Second mission, after all the details about how to use ECM, I moved into range of the first enemy, after which I got SENSOR LOCKED on the Raven and headshot, killing the only pilot that was mine for the mission. I am at a point doing a consecutive drop of capturing the base with the Raven in it, followed by the mission to destroy the base that has the research into it.įirst part, capturing the 'mech, went well. I only just got around to trying out the Prototype Flashpoint which thus far has been fun (and, with my lineup of custom Hunchbacks, kind of a breeze).
