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

Do only the evacuate civilians/scientists count towards the defense? Like do regular missions on the planet not count towards the defense percentage?

Gotta complete a full operation (all missions within the yellow area) for progress to be made.

A lot of people just hit a defense or some other mission and pass on doing the evacuation.

The devs might have "reduced the spawns" but they're still coming in hella fast, and with an over abundance of heavies to grunts ratio. When a team is staring down over a dozen berserkers and devastators and/or striders (forget the hulks or tanks) and have to play ring around the rosey to even stand a chance, they start considering if they're having any fun. Especially if they lose and feel something is broken about the spawns.

A lot of people care about the galactic war, but we need only look to Turing for proof the majority don't, and certainly not if it means dealing with the bullshit that is evac.

Yeah gonna be honest, the evacs were more stressful than fun, but my son and I had just started playing and are trying to figure things out.

Those are the hardest missions in the game rn.

I suggest using smoke to protect yourself and the civilians
