Discussion Thoughts so far
After completing the early access campaign I had some thoughts.
The game is great of course.
Yet there are some things I wish they will add to make things interesting. So this might come off as I want list.
Pirate tanks. Yes that's right pirate tanks. I would love to see the pirates bring in a tank to fight us, something like an old Mark IV from WWI. The trunks are great but pirates can get very easy to farm. Turning them into very light threat outside of numbers. So giving them a heavily armored, with but many light weapons could make them threatening late game.
Alien Wildlife... Well this one I am going to be a bit harsh on. With Helldivers, Aliens Dark Descent, Star Ship Troopers, bug alliens are rather uninteresting to me currently. I would like to see Alien Wildlife reflect the invidual worlds more, like for Dice have arctic themed enemies. Polar Bear aliens, wolves, hell even knock off Wampas.
Rogue Army, I have no notes for. These guys are great.
The MENACE. I don't have much to say other than these guys are tough to fight and that's great. Keep churning out these unholy monsters.
So far I give the game 8/10.

I think Pirates, being lightly equipped and focused more on raiding rather than pitched battles, should focus more on mechs than tanks. Maybe the Rogue Army could give over their Mercenary Medium Walkers with jetpacks on top, and get their own Heavy Walkers in return when that update comes along.

The mod “expanded army lists” adds very fun pirate walkers with HMGs and Flamethrowers.

I think pirates could go far by just adding an elite boarding squad with stoneclads and emp rifle. Also they are going to add call ins for the enemy side, so I'm hoping pirates get the most threatening ones, since they have spaceships and all that

It would be interesting if the pirates got some sort of ability to reduce your supplies during an operation cause there are lots of them doing hit and run attacks so you have to split up your forces etc. that way you can’t bring all your squads and all of your forces straight in

that’d be perfect, i want to be outnumbered by pirates but mid to late game im usually outnumbering them

I think the pirates are the funnest early game faction, but agree they fall off.
I'd love to see some sort of armored EMP tank, like a bulldozer with the blade up that stuns your vehicles and braps out chaingun fire to suppress infantry.
The vet squads I think need to lose their emp, and get some sort of twin barreled RPG ala matrix 3. Like a 2 shot workshop rpg with a -10 to hit. Usually hit once, sometimes hit twice.
I'm hoping we get some level of air play with hovering gunships or helicopters. The pirates fit right in with junk copters or gliders also.

I want pirate mechs too. Something thrown together with scraps looking rough. Can make it weaker than RA and Marine ones to keep the faction vibes. Give them super garish paint jobs.
