Well that's an embarrassing thing for me to forget considering I started in N2 with Acontecimento! She didn't have a model when she was removed from the game though, so that's probably why it slipped my mind.
Toni got removed, but Tiks became mostly what Toni were. It's like as if Tigers got changed to ADX and Hulang got TO Camo.
I don't expect them before the end of the KS campaign :) (And that doesn't means "OMFG Koni told that the profiles will be available the minute after the KS campaign ends!!!!111!!!" )
Having a Vet 1 Lt. is really, really useful, if your opponent is VIRD/Pan O vanilla, Tunguska/Nomads vanilla, Hassasins/vanilla Haqq. And if you're playing Hunting Party, it becomes an auto-take IMO.
He is also an Aristo, so he is most likely running around in an enhanced body as opposed to a normal human meat suit.
So, about the time the game starts shipping, then? (June-ish) I will be happy if it's sooner, of course, but June is fine.
Lei gong is very close to what the Liu Xing should have been. Drop him to 4-4 or 4-2, drop 1 WIP, drop COC, NWI and Bio immunity, make him hackable, add 1 or 2 PH, add AD4 and then change up the guns. EDIT: And add 1 wound of course to make him genuine HI.
Huh? A hackable Tiger with Albedo instead of Mimetism? IMHO, take a Shang-Ji (current profile) and stick AD4 on it. That's a pretty decent AD HI since the Shang-Ji profile and gear is basically made to start in the face of the opponent, not in the home zone.
While I like what you say, I'm not certain we will ever see an AD troop with a native PH of 14, but given its potential cost in the end, that would be great. You want to have every chance for it to drop where you intend to for his price. I would gladly take the superior BTS too, this or a TinBot Deflector B as someone already said that. But let this stay the Lei Gong topic, before someone drop again the salt shaker on the poor Liu Xing :p
Yuan Yuan says hi with a PH14 smoke grenade! Agreed. So, I don't know who said, but if Lei Gong is a character of a possible new troop, what might that troops look like? I'm guessing he's better than that troop though.
That's why I like an EVO. Back to 14! But this with my Ikari. EVO has more uses in it. But anyway. This new troop I'm thinking will still be MI but not sure if it will have the same speed as LG. More Albedo would be nice but I think possibly Mimetisim with him being the odd one with Albedo. I think only he would have the NWI.
