Mastia attacked by the jet brigade

DEFEND!

Oooh they are moving fast. It's too late though, we are at 68% and we'll finish that off in less than 24 hours.

i expected the bug divers to have already beat that total, why are they dragging feet.

Bug divers gonna need to pick up the slack if bot divers can't do one measly defense mission.

[Legion Grimclaw]

its whatever, the bugdivers are all brain damaged. unable to figure out basic mechancs and optimal bug front defense behaviour unless super earth stamps the information into their brain like they are toddlers

measly MEASLY, think again the largest defense ever ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ faced in the game and 57 we reduced it to 43 alone. where the ♥♥♥♥ was the 2 billion bugs in 16 hours? or was it the Major order divers that carried your sorry asses through that.

to defend that one planet we would have needed a playerbase of at least 3 times the size all unilateraly focused on tarsh. the bug divers however have no excuse for attacking any planet other than acamar IV

They should make bots fun to go against if they want people to go fight them.

Not sure if you are joking or not but the "measly" defense mission that failed was literally a bot attack 7.5 times larger than the current bug attack on Turing, that the bug divers will win after the bugs get to ~60%. If that attack was even half the strength of what hit Tarsh the bug divers would have failed too.

The attack on Mastia is 5 times larger than the one on Turing.

Honestly no way to defend these without basically 100% of the players there focusing on winning rather than the usual where tons of people wont even finish their Operation before leaving so they are not contributing... and even then it would probably have been nearly impossible to defend Tarsh.

Well I think the story the devs have prepared is basically either the bots force the station to emergency warp away if we fail and even if we succeed the station will likely jump away "because this is the 2nd desperate bot attack in a short time and they almost got it this time!".

The bug objective seems to be done in time for a fancy epic reveal of the station activating before/during the attack on Gaellivare, providing the buffs and stratagems there which would likely pull a lot of people there so they can use it = successful defense... but we will have to see where they take things.

This game fails to teach the player what on earth a defense gambit is, it only gives arrows from adjacent planets but never explained it, a casual player isn't gonna know what that means. Same can be said to how they don't know how decay rates work for liberation campaigns

I think we should leave them be.
Super Earth doesn’t need those planets anyways.
Like can you even mention one good thing on Mastia?

None of that is on display in game, shouldn't need a companion app on your phone nor having to go to a separate website for things that should be shown to the player base. I don't care how green or vet you are, information should never be kept away from the player. Arrowhead has a really bad history with doing this exact thing, hidden stats on gear/weapons/stratagems, hiding stats and connecting attacks from the map entirely, decay rates, need I go on?

AH is the problem, not the player, not the bug diver, not the bot divers, it's all the developers playing their little games or more realistically, their sheer ineptitude at making a good game and actually fleshing it out.

Bot divers truly are the brain damaged ones if they cannot see such easy bait.

Yeah yeah grass is green, the sky is blue and Cyberstan’s flag is the best looking flag there is.
Can we get some actual news here?

Mastia needs 150% of the playerbase for a sucessful defense. It's another forced loss. Don't even bother with the botfront, just kill bugs for space oil.

Bots killed during this defense will make the next attack easier. The game actually tells you this one.
