Btw my point with DA/T2, is that they are nearly the same ammo, with bit different dice rolls. So it's odd how is it too much to have full burst DA on MULTI, but totally okay to have full burst T2 on Ateks. T2 rifle has worse ranges than MULTI, though someone should check T2 Marksman rifle and MULTI Marksman rifle prices, likely they are similar.
CB staff 1: look at this cool design for a biker Teuton, PanO guys are going to shit their pants when they see it CB staff 2: that looks awesome CB staff 3: i already did the render, its a really nice mini CB staff 2: yea, looks awesome, but wait, is MO going to be the assault PanO sectorial on top of being the HI one? CB staff 1: what do you mean? CB staff 2: well..... they have this good HI link´s and all that, but now they can also mech deploy a Rem with auxbot and a HI with LGL, have as many TO infiltrator specialist as they want and ALSO a fast bike with another HI on top of it all...... CB staff 1: it kind of sounds even faster than Acon when you put it like that CB staff 2: yep CB staff 1: Hellois is not going to like this CB staff 2: nop CB staff 1: F**k this, i´m late for my siesta, just gibe the bike to the Montesa and the Teuton can stay as it is, #PanOCANhavenicethings now but the EXP sword was too good for them anyway CB staff 3: but the rendering is for the Teuton and.... CB staff 1: all the knights are the same, no one will see the difference CB staff 3: you know that we sold them a spitfire sculpt 2 years ago...... this is not going to set well CB staff 1: just tell them to put it on a bike token
I took a liberty to make a sequel of that: CB staff 2: hey, I've got a bad feeling about that. still that starter is just quite new... CB staff 1: I know. we should get rid of the evidence CB staff 3: you mean... CB staff 1: just discontinue that fraggin box, asap. CB staff 2: man, we cannot do that. It's a starter box... CB staff 1: yes we can! just discontinue whole ASA!
Because DA is statistically much more likely to cause damage (about 50% per hit) than T2. T2 just increases the damage taken if any is taken, it doesn't increase the odds of taking damage. So it's great against multiwound targets, but against 1W targets it's effectively just Shock (in terms of killing them).
Haha I say wait. As the planned redundency cycle effects other sectorials and starts effecting the others, finally then there will by sympathy, understanding and a coordinated dissent XD
My .02 on the bikes: I don't particularly care for bikes in general - but I don't mind that they're in the game. Im miffed that they axed the Mech Deploy Montessa in favor of the bikes. The LRL and LGL variants were extremely cool. I would have made the Bikes available in Varuna, and added Bikes profiles to SAA, keeping the old profiles, and sharing AVA between everything. :\ They have sectorial specific costing and profiles everywhere. Why not here?
Aside from the amazing new MO and the Montesa outrage... Is anyone excited about what could they do with Bolts in NCA? They already made better hospitaliers, even if no one was asking for it and they didn't exactly need it. So why not Bolts??? Or does CB enjoy the "How to fix Bolts" or the "Uses for Bolts" threads?
Lol about FDL fixing Bolts price issues. The base Profile is alright, the issue is 4 points for LSGs and another 3 for Drop Bears. That is not fixed. With Bagh Mari not getting the Aragoto's Combi+LSG point adjustment I wonder if it will even happen.
The points weren't adjusted on the LSG, CB just wants to sell more bikes! that's why the Aragoto get a discount! XD
NCA could definitely do with an update, yeah, not that a Sectoral with access to some of the stuff it has is going to really suck, but their lack of mixed links feels out of date now. I'd probably make Bolts interchangeably linked with Fusiliers, give Bolts a Haris, make Blackfriars and Devas able to link in with Bolt Core and Haris teams (thus making Bolt teams more appealing because people could use them as BS 13 SWC shooters, with Devas and Blackfriars adding in the specialists and Rifle range combatants respectively), make ORCs duo with Squalos and give them a Haris too. Lists like this would be super fun to play, and feel really high tech special forces, which NCA should.

I just wanted to say that it’s a great feeling coming to the PanO forums and seeing so much positivity! I was always determined to stay positive about PanO, and yet was slowly shifting my focus towards other armies. This update has reignited my love for my first faction!
@Solar you're forgetting the haris of Aquilla with bolts. I would actually like to see fusiliers slot into bolt fireteams rather than the other way around or even not at all since this is the Bolt sectorial. Essentially make them the universal open team like you said with devas and the like. I think bolts would still need a price tweak to be more attractive over the static fireteam though.
