Hicks Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hi all, I don't know if I missed something, but it appears that beside the new Helix being included, the Aquan ORBATS tweaked some stats for some older units. The El-Shami Leviathan got some buffs, it's seconde DR point has gone up to 8 from a 7. It's CQB rating has gone up to 10/5 from 10/4. Not a major change, but it came for no extra points. It still doesn't benefit from the Armored Shell rule, so it seems this was intentional all along. The Haumea Hevy Support Tank (yes tank, not skimmer. I tought this might change) went up in points from 280 to 300. However, it's missiles went up to 16AD from 15AD and it's second DR value went up to 6 from a 5. A tad more expensive, but I like the change. LMK if you find more, I'll update this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannor Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Khitari sweeper teams now cost 20 instead of 15. Aquans were pretty light on changes this time around (as were Sorylians). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironspine Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 The Haumea has been called a tank since at least 2 updates ago (if not from the very beginning) so I'm not sure why you'd call that out. It's still hover. It's also back to being 16 AD as it was 2 updates ago. I've always found it to be pretty sturdy so I'm not certain 20pts for a single DR is worth it especially given the Locatu point hike from last update. 50pt sweeper teams are a hard pill to swallow.

privateer4hire Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Is it correct that none of the upgrades make infantry BULKY? I think last update the gun and sweeper upgrades did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmadan Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I t hink that is an oversight, the upgrades all have one asterix attached to them, the double asterix for the Bulky MAR is probably a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmadan Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Anyone but me make a note of the change in wording of the Temporal Shift MAR? Previously it explicitly allowed Designators to be used, now it does not, although the FAQ on Designators and the PDF rulebook implies that Designators might not count as Main Ordinance Firing.

Takxis Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 just gone over the new Orbats in detail. does anyone else find it strange that the new transport (Larata) is militia grade when every other Aquan is Elite or Fearless? we seem to have gone from no transport to one very easy to knock out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0rruptd Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 just gone over the new Orbats in detail. does anyone else find it strange that the new transport (Larata) is militia grade when every other Aquan is Elite or Fearless? we seem to have gone from no transport to one very easy to knock out Probably because it is currently the toughest and fastest transport in the game at the moment... Also, probably a typo more than anything. But could be a design decision. EDIT: Remembered the Sorylian Bath-tub Skiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmadan Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Not sure that it's a typo, seems a bit too glaring... I'm guessing it's to encourage a combined arms approach, keeping the transports in range of the helix lights, instead of rushing off on their own.
