It is obvious that Betatrooper and Nyokas are going to be a Starmada exclusive, which is NICE Saladin is also missing, but it is clear he is also the Starmada “alpha”… and naval liaison officer . I do hope Hector, Andromeda and Casanova are still to be found on Starmada too.
First of all... THANKS @Space Ranger I'm missing a lot of units, but that's something expected after releasing the first vanilla charts. I can't wait to see what's in Starmada and what we've really lost.
Omegas CD14 along Mim-6 and their loadouts makes them function optimally on the battlefield without any additional help. But the Gamma, with no visor mods, actually would appreciate the “advantage dice”
Losing the extra aleph stuff makes sense, i always had the feeling like it was just filling some holes in the roster which are now being ably filled by stuff released since the faction was created. Still surprised they kept some of the Minescorp mercenaries given mercenaries were stripped out of every other generic army. Not complaining exactly - just surprised. Hope they still get access to Vidoq and Ment agents outside of reinforcements.
I have my first, last and only N4 game with O-12 this Wednesday. I got a Zeta, it's my only O-12 model, the rest are all Aleph :)
True. But with new bonus you take out die. Possible? But most likely not. Or max1 in a duo so never gets purity bonus.
Pairing it with a specialist would go a long way. Still don’t see it though. The Sogarat has almost exactly the same profile and still isn’t linked. I think we’ll have to play TLB to get a beatstick in the same weight class. My money is on the Omega. An FTO profile with multirifle.
I belive the Sog used to be able to link in N3? No matter what, I don't think they would allow the Gamma to get B6. There’s not many even available to be in a duo just because of so camo, combat jump, etc. The troops I most likely see (and some hope) to get duo in vO12 is: Psi-Cop Kappa Raveneye Rovers Hellblazers Wreaker Varangian (already has duo) Lawkeeper Roadbot Hippolyta Sonya Jackboot (already has duo) Ment Vidoq
I think your list is a pretty good guess. I would love something more heavier besides the Rovers. And maybe Stormbots for some experimenting. Linkable Hellblazers feels like a TLB thing. A linkable Monstrucker would be really nice. I’ve played Morats since N3 and believe you are right about the Soggy - with the addition that it was only Duo. It has never been able to get any bonuses. I’ve compared the profiles quite a bit since they are so similar and the Soggy is just too expensive and lack Fiteteam options in a Sectorial which is almost exclusively about Fireteams. Meanwhile the Gamma is considered a great well-balanced piece in vO12. A sometimes food as Rob Shepard would have said. And then there’s Prime. Gonna be interesting how “the real” TLB will be when they shed their N4-skin.
