Because I didn’t want to add vehicles that I didn’t have time to balance. Even now I’m not happy with a lot of them. We’ll see how the patch turns out.

Ah, that's totally fair. To your credit, even if you're not happy with how things are, this game is a lot more balanced than most anything else I've played in a while. I rarely feel like a weapon is just flat out bad or there is a vehicle I can't make work at all. The only things that feel too strong are things that are supposed to feel too strong, like the Broodmare, which again, is totally fine.

p.s. I just noticed that the loading screen with the Touro firing has a sabot that is discarding correctly. That's ridiculous attention to detail and whoever made that did an awesome job and knows their poo poo.

The Taurus didn't offer much for drivers craving the sport sedan experience. That changed with the 1989 debut of the Ford Taurus SHO (for Super High Output), a Q-ship of the finest order that offered up a high-revving Yamaha-designed V-6 engine and a tight sport suspension.

Oh my god you mad bastard. I am amazed that you managed to take hull damage without dying. I am amazed the giant Olmec head didn't punch your clock when it started firing at you. And I am amazed you did not kill yourself with Donkeys.

Yeah I got pretty lucky there because I got to grab those two shield orbs! After watching that run a couple of times again, I decided that the skate has too much lateral and reverse speed. It's more like the swordfish now, albeit a bit faster.

Sledger/Otomo/Pinch/Smoke is sickeningly effective, i think it might end up being my first small vehicle win on precursor closed casket.

I too really like the Otomo on the Sledger, though I usually pair it with a Carlos, I can see the appeal of a Pinch.

How does the description go? They look funny, but nobody's laughing after a squad of them rolls through. Something like that- accurate, I'd say.

This sounds awesome. I just did a Sledger/Harvester/Black Hand run that worked well tactically but encountered major fusing problems (i.e. I kept firing Harvesters with the muzzle jammed up against a prop and one-shotting myself).

I don’t have the patience to make a black hand run work on long map sets. It’s fun for a two or three map run but pure stealth is too frustrating over long runs for me.

I'm surprised that Kennedy Spits isn't on the top of the list. Her gruesome visage qualifies for warcrimes by itself. I don't think I've ever used that pilot, let alone after the avatar update.

Poor Phil! He doesn't deserve this; like me, he just wants to step on all the rich people's houses. (And let me tell you I can't play any of the suburban maps without causing millions of credits of needless destruction, drat you whoever put those in).

I almost voted for Kennedy Spits, but how can you hate someone who is always improving themselves?

I mentioned a few pages back that I had a friend who plays this, and coincidentally he and I both also GM nerd-style games every week with a group of our mutual friends; and we both thought a Brigador campaign in the Genesys system sounded loving rad. What you said sounds like an amazing premise for a short campaign, I might just steal it.

If I had to guess, everything rides in waves, right? Japan gets destroyed, then leaps forward ahead of American manufacturing and tech because they rebuilt their factories from scratch, had a lot of investment, etc. I know "what happens to earth" is a big question for most any space colony science fiction setting, but the question hasn't been specifically important to the setting of Brigador yet so I am not inclined to bring it into focus yet. It could be terrible, it could be advanced. It's probably some version of today's combination Taco Bell / Pizza Hut: high tech mixed with immense suffering and abject poverty, all mixed together.

I imagine something akin to the state of the world in Blade Runner 2049. Ruined eco system devoid of almost any wild life and plants, snow in the middle of winter in Southern California, all food is artificial, incredibly advanced technology, incredibly low standard of living, world spanning slums.

Very possibly. Like I said, not going to cross that bridge until it's important, more than likely, given the import of the question. Always interesting to think about though.
