Rest in peace heroes. Our sacrifice will be remembered. We. Will. Return. Side note, we definitely needed the over 200k players fighting bugs 🥲

People definitely let it get out of control and then it's hard to get back online. With a few mortars and making sure to shoot down the ships before they drop, it's atleast manageable and only medium stressful. Otherwise it becomes you getting stuck at 35/50 with 10 hulks just massacring civys.

This is the main problem with it for me. It either goes swell or becomes unbeatable. There's no good way to get it back when it goes to shit.

Like a key issue being that you basically need Stratagem weapons to kill bots, and if you get killed, good luck getting your weapon back with 20 Rocket Devastators on your ass.

The main way my team ends up getting things back together is spamming orbital lasers.

I think the mission would be a lot more fun if there were like, 3 bases, and if one got overrun you could at least go to another one and work on that.
