Greetings all, I just wanted to share the experience I had today with you all.
I'm walking in Coronet City approaching the cantina. As I've told you the Rrebel mission terminals are there, so like a good Reb I was going to see how I could assist my fellow freedom fighters.
Suddenly two overt Imperials arrive. Sadly, being covert I could not openly attack them. To everyone's suprise they proceeded to unload their "pets", two regular troopers, one stormtrooper, one dark trooper, and one AT-ST.
We were all stunned. You see, AT-ST's were just introduced in the latest patch. Well, I was able to target the "pets", so I proceeded to aid my comrades in dispatching the dark trooper, and stormtrooper. Then we concentrated our fire on the AT-ST. Aided by a Rebel's two rancor "pets", we were able to inflict serious damage, but sadly enough I was incapped. Here is why. An AT-ST hits you with 900 hp of damage in one shot. The highest hp in a character is 1200. So in two shots I was done.
So what did I learn from this lesson? Several things:
1. When confronted with an Overt Imp and his "pets", take out the Imp first. That way he cannot give them orders so they cannot coordinate their attack.
2. AT-ST's have some serious armor, as if you didn't know. It would take at least 10 players to take one down. They also hit with more force than a full grown rancor.
3. The rocket launcher you can purchase with Rebel faction points can only be used if you are Overt. I found this out the hard way. When I purchased it from the recruiter, no warning was given as to that fact, unlike when I purchased my first laser carbine from her.
And yes, I realize that this should have been put under the Military heading now that I look back, so please forgive me.
Oh and just to let you all know, the AT-ST survived against five Rebels, two rancors and a crimson panther. The latter were a Rebels pets.
