Yesterday I had a fine time killing mokks/jantas. Today it seems all of them have some kind of burst speed skill and outrun me easily. This is quite retarded as I can't even put on my damn comp armor fast enough to shield their blows.
How wonderful.

Ever think of using the rifleman's main skill... shooting from a concealed posistion?

Devs have a history of modifying all of the top money making missions so I'm not surprised if they did adjust Mokks and Jantas.

Takes too long. To save money I dont use any armor or dancer/musician buffs, plus I don't use any specials on the base so 2 min to kill mokks/jantas and 3 min to destroy base. I go by the time it takes before the brandy expires. Before I could get at least 4-5 missions in a 40min sitting. Mind you I didn't even get touched. If I used concealshot that would add at least add 8min to finish off the entire mob. Then I'll only be getting 3 missions in 40min. So that's 120k for every 2 brandy. Now each day add the cost of buff so 4 buffs total 10k which is 40k plus 21 brandy 9k which adds to 49k. Now buffs last about 3 hours so can get about 4 brandy worth. So that's 480k for one buff.
Now that's pretty low compared to 1.3kmil that you used to get for one buff.

o... OK the devs are sorry for making you take an extra 3-5min to earn 60k from doing 2missions. jawa ion has low mind cost...max your mind subs , take a canape and go unarmored. conceal will get you about20 health and 20 action cost. hell you could take 1 use of a brandy. and it would be more effective then 10min canape. Don't complan becuase you're not experinced in every aspect of this game

Died. Anyone know anything good to hunt. This really sucks and blows. And its not the extra 3-5min its the speed that bugs me. Bull**** how they're 10m and they hit you and god damn hunters run faster than you. Didn't become master ranger for nothing. Let see how rancors do 
. Btw the mind doesn't bother me, when they get that close either your health or mind gets eaten alive. So don't think anything done to mind will help.

For the record, I'm completely against stealth changes and nerfs of any kind.
However, having a hard time finding any sympathy for you personally.
Sorry - you want to play a Rifleman like a Pistoleer or brawler? No Pity!
Takes too long. [snip] If I used concealshot that would add at least add 8min to finish off the entire mob. buff.

Again, No Pity! Wah, wah - you want to MIN/MAX the system. How about I just put in a terminal you can walk up to, push a button, and get 1M credits? Would you be happier than? Push it, push it, push it.... Feel better?

Of course I do. But like everyone who screams in the groupchat WELL 1.3MIL IN 1 BUFF FELLAS then I kind of want some money. Only started this yesterday when I got the timings down. Guess time to switch to swordsman because running speed doesn't matter for them. Pisses me off when swordies still have no money loss.
And if you asked why should I be worried about money, well it's kindy ***** running around with 200k all the time. Can't buy crap.

Pistoleer/brawler can't kill nearly as fast as riflemen can. Sorry but that's what strafe2 is for.

You might be new, but every rifleman should know, they WON'T aggro you if you use conceal. It's not that complicated. pick em off 1 at a time like a real sniper.

But you want them to aggro you. Whole point of using strafe2 is to kill them all at once, attack base, move on to next mission.

well now you have to work around that to complete the mission, and if it takes an extra couple minutes so be it
