The trees blocking most of the Eagle stratagems is a bummer, but I guess it makes sense. I have changed my loadout to substitute Eagle strikes with orbital equivalents, or as close as I can get, trees still block, but not as often as before.

A lot of fun, but does anyone else have significantly worse performance on it? Usual bot or bug missions I’m usually 70-90 FPS with dips in the 50s, but Gacrux sits in the 50s and dips as low as the 20s.
I had a guy who just kept saying stuff like “we need to run to extract” in all caps as soon as we completed the main objective on a hard mission with probably 20 minutes left to finish up the side objectives, pleennttyy of time. I wasn’t the host, but I probably would have kicked the guy after a while because he was getting mad at the rest of us for going around and cleaning up. He didn’t call extraction, but he sat around the extraction area the entire time.
When we did finally get extraction going he called in a 120mm barrage centered on the extract point and it killed two of us as the drop ship was coming in. We had time to reinforce, but that would have been my last straw.
Roaming gunships are so much harder than roaming Shriekers haha.
I like the idea of these patrols, but gunship patrols should be a bit smaller, we were getting overwhelmed on diff 8 with patrols of 4-6 that would overlap. I guess that’s also a sign we need to adjust our loadouts more than anything, but I hope it points towards better AA stratagems in the future.
Stratagems:
I’ll probably go back to quasar for bugs when they nerf flamethrowers against chargers, right now it’s just too good to pass up.
I recently switched from rail cannon to POS for both enemy types because the buff was amazing
Shield lets me get in a few extra headshots at devastators before they hurt me
Laser guard dog makes cleaning up the lower tier bugs a non-issue so I can focus on bigger threats, it is annoying to get killed by it or for it to accidentally kill teammates, but I still think it’s worth it
