Most vanilla pano player play one or two real squalo and its removal is not a good thing if you really want to remove it, give duo to other MBT like dragao and jotum and give them ECM (hacker) pano is already ultra weak VS hacking is it is
Please let the Squalo MK1 Profile stay. The ECM Hacker makes it one if the most interesting MBT's for me in Pano and the MK2 dont fill this role. Maybe remove the Grenade Launcher from the MK1 and give it Chain if Command. So the MK1 and MK2 have different roles and Pano as the TAG-Faction get's a WIP 12 Specialist TAG that can score. I really would like to see that.
If I wasn't lazy I bet I could fine old posts of most of the people who want Squalo MK1 to stay how they are telling other people that Infinity is proxy friendly game. So, listen to your own advice and proxy Squalo MK1 as something else. It is an old model, you got plenty of years of use from it, CB is moving all TAGs to that horrible plastic of theirs so we all knew this was coming. I play Nomads for almost a decade now, and I would be 100% okay with them removing all metal TAGs from the game. Those TAGs were like 35 euros 8 years ago, I think we got our moneys worth.
If they want to become market-leaders in the tabletop wargaming industry, maybe they should: Delete ALL profiles associated with OOP miniatures Change ALL new sculpts to siocast Double the price of all new miniatures Make all new miniatures Kickstarter only Profit
It’s not about getting your moneys worth. I’m also one of those people that said it was proxy friendly. Infinity is for the most part. It’s easy to have any S2 miniature be any other S2 miniature. It’s not easy to have a rather iconic TAG with a particular load out be another. I don’t care about that though. I care that the profile for the S7 Mk1 is useful and completely different to the S6 Mk2. They have different applications. I want both profiles to exist. Let the Mk1 stay!
If we're keeping random Mercenary profiles who got one limited-release miniature years ago and were never popular anyway, we can keep one of the iconic original TAGs of the entire gameline, still depicted on the main website's PanO faction page. It's different enough to the MKII to warrant its presence, it's not taking up shelf space, and if there was any concern about crowding options in Sectorials there are a lot of things that deserve to be cut before NCA's only heavy TAG.
One of my selling points to the local gaming community is how amazing CB support their previous releases models no matter how much time pass by. So they do not have to be afraid half their collection is not longer “valid” after an edition change or time passes. It is easy to forgive this when one model is just replaced with an alternative where you can proxy. Like for example the Haramakis turning into Tankos, but as @Gwynbleidd said, such thing is not possible with a S7 turning into S6 model with a very different weapon load out.
Bumping this thread to further show support for the Mk1 profile! Give me the Mk2 by all means but let the Mk1 stay!
Some days in isolation, but we were not forget about Squalo MK1. (I hope so) Profile should stay. They are different with MK2. In some details... We are worried alot. Give us explanation about it. I see no reason, how this profine would disbalance "medium tier" faction, that is limited in enogh moments.
Indeed! Let the Mk1 profile stay!!! I’d honestly like some feedback on this issue from a staff member if possible. The Mk1 is a completely different platform than the Mk2 especially in Varuna and I’d like to know if it indeed will be staying.
I have felt that Varuna really needed an S6 TAG for sometime. It seems in line with spec-ops, anti-terrorist kind of counter play. Im psyched for the MK2! However, I love the MK1, it would be great to keep the profile around. I've had too much fun with that and Montessa duo!
I know that CB removed some units in the past (magisters, some YJ units that were redone into JSA etc.) but I do think it's a really bad practice and leaves a bad taste. I think CB can easily alienate their customers with such decisions, and it would be a pity. I don't think it's a wise decision to remove old squalo from the game.
