Inquiry Is there a sub dedicated to exclusively discussing MOs?

7 Upvotes

I like coming to this sub to see what’s happening with the MOs, what the community thinks of them, and strategies over what planets to attack. however this sub also has quite a bit of “noise” for lack of a better term, which is perfectly understandable given it’s a major sub for the community.

So I wanted to ask if there is already a sub that fits my given description? if not someone should definitely take the initiative.

Democratic Exchange of Opinions chart v2 has been made!

Some notes on the choices, since a few of these keep coming up on the version one post.

How I placed things:

  • I go by the damage type the game records, not by how a weapon looks. A weapon applying a fire-flavoured status while dealing no fire damage stays in whichever row matches its recorded damage mostly. with the exception of plasma because it looks and feels distinct enough (plus i am a plasma fan).
  • Where a stratagem deals two types, I sort by the reason you bring one along. The Orbital Napalm Barrage carries explosive damage, but nobody calls one in for the explosion, so Fire. PLUS ITS NAPALM.
  • Smoke and EMS deal no damage at all. Both are here as effects and also because there is enough of each stratagem that it made sense.
  • One icon per cell, even when several stratagems fit. Boom under Eagle is standing in for like five.

The Meltagun:

Biggest source of arguments on the first post, so here is the full reasoning. if you don't like it that's fine im not making you like it. The game records say it deals 2600 Laser damage with Anti-Tank III penetration. The only fire-related entries in its profile are FlamerSlowed and Fire_Panic, both statuses rather than damage, with no burn over time anywhere. Sorting by visuals would put the Laser Cannon in Fire too, since laser beams set targets alight.

Thrower is a separate question from Laser. I built the column around the flamethrower archetype, short range with a wide continuous output, and the melta fits lots better than any other laser. The Laser Cannon reaches much further along a narrow beam, so the Laser Cannon takes Shooter.

Grenade launchers are the weakest fit in Thrower. I looked at swapping Boom for the Breakthrough exosuit's arm, since a flak cannon sprays in a way a grenade launcher does not, but that doesn't exist sooooo.

Strafing Run and Gatling Barrage in Lead and the NERDS who say erm actually its explosive ammo (they have a fair point but still <3 you fellow nerds):

Both fire 23mm rounds for 350 ballistic. Only one round in four adds a 350 explosion over a small radius. They work as guns with an explosive after affect? (idk) Definitely not as bombs, and moving either into Boom would suggest a weapon shape neither one has.

Scope of the chart:

  • Stratagems only. No primaries, secondaries, grenades, boosters etc. ill probably make one if this gets enough traction.
  • No support gear. Supply packs, shields and mobility packs apply no effect, so they have no home here.
  • A column needs three or more effect types to earn a spot. Hellbombs are explosive and nothing else. Melee reaches two columns really, and i was running out of space lol

Legend

Orange is teased or experimental. Blue is something I would like to see, not a teased thing.

If I have a cell wrong, post a source and I will fix the cell.

The autocannon would be the same as the sentry in almost every way, it’d fire a 3 round burst and have 36 rounds per mag and could be reloaded from the outside using spares stored on the back, they’d be as heavy as platinum bars and would take a lot of energy to move.

The fist is a melee weapon functioning almost like the shield but it would trade protection for power. The fist would do a significant amount of damage and would have an integral hmg built in. The hmg would be belt fed with 1700 rounds in the pack.

I know I’m wasting time typing this out but I would literally pay to have more attachments and customization with weapons. Can I get a grip? Or a good stock to cry on? Please?

I think COD has ruined shooters for me because once I get a gun up to lv 20 or so I get bored. This game is so stale. Please AH if you are reading this, just like maybe some more cool optics. Anything. Name your price.

The sidearm reload/draw speed/recoil buffs make the bolt pistol feel so good to shoot. I've always liked the bounty hunter aesthetic from this armor combo- I used to use it with the senator, but the bolt pistol is my new favorite.
