    Yeah, with TAG Raid StarCo gets some minor reinforcments from the mines of Dawn where they usually mine minor minerals minding their own business... enough with the wordplays!

    We'll get a pseudo HI in form of the Digger and some repurposed mining gear called the Triphammer.

    Both have in common a miner interest in BTS so they'll be clearly struggling against any hacking heavy opponent and even a simple Breaker Pistol poses more than a miner threat to them. Then both have the Booty skill thus there'll be almos always some useful addition to their profile (5% chance of ARM 11 for the TAG or an HMG for the Digger).
    On the plus side the Diggers bring a cheap regular order and I see the potential for them to become a reasonable good bodyguard for e.g. Uhahu if you want her to be independent from the, I guess, usual TinBot-Core.

    Sorry for the wordplays... not ;)

    Prospector could potentially be a good line breaker warband piece in match ups that are hacking light and heavy on the camo/deployable spam. it's increased durability over an irmandinho allows it better soak and deflect incoming damage from those kinds of sources.

    I read this thread, the reddit and a bit of the facebook wgc, overall and in summary it's ok-tier, but not essential (especially in vanilla faction, they are more interesting in NA2 where they bring more choices).

    In points of consensus. As a result of their attack bonuses, profiles will be more efficient in Active turns than Passive (so do not focus on defense).
    The Booty skill could make the profiles more interesting, but that's a matter of luck. And they will be pretty fragile against hacking (nomads).
    Someone pointed out the idea of using their Shock Immunity skill to cleaning Mines and it's a nice, cheap idea, so long live the recycling.
    For the Digger, there was a debate about the fact that the Krakkot looks hotter than the Digger, it's true that with comparable use, the fact that the Krakkot is not hackable, at least simplifies things.


    TheDiceAbide had a discussion about these profiles in their latest show: 7:30->26:20
    Late Night Wargames - Episode 81 - Post Armageddon with Tim and Clint

    He wrote an article, in which he suggests a set of ideas approaches.
