So, as I can see, PanO, due to your words, is a little forgotten faction. Not some time passed. Is there some good news? Something positive? You did not scare me about problems. I hope to use miniatures not only in Stargrave games with friends x)
Don't be downbeat about Pano, there are factions in this game in far worse shape. Given n4 is pretty lethal, our attacking pieces and generally high BS leans into this very well. In a shooting game, Pano are good at shooting. That's a very good thing! Button pressing can be slightly more challenging but clearing the board of tricky aros with firepower is very doable as a Pano player, giving you some time in the late game to go grab stuff. Good opponent's will be able to deal with Pano, but that's true of any faction
@Daireann the positive is that - as mentioned above - power-wise PanO is quite good. N4 changes made fielding TAGs easier, thanks to cheaper costs and more reliable armor. All sectorials are playable or very playable. MO rework finally introduced some flair to the faction. Tactics-wise, I've discovered that PanO does better when it doesn't multitask. Best approach is to go for the throat first, utilize those heavy weapons and high BS to secure objectives before moving in specialists. Peace through superior firepower.
PanO tactical philosophy: “Apply bullets of increasing calibre and quantity until the problem is gone.”
