Post Thoraxes
It's quite cool that they now fly up in arming phase. But there is a problem with it at now, theyr tracking also seems to affect the speed at which they come back down. Thus, with lower tracking ones, like pumpkin thorax(pumpkin drone) they simply fly over the target most of the time.

Post Re: Thoraxes
I've never liked the prospect of thorax's while moving .. For example faster class's such as Seer's and mainly SD's .. If you fire a thorax going full speed to get the speed damage RoF bonus's, then your thorax isn't really going to hit a target, perhaps they should 'deploy' stationary ?

Brutal Thorax is just pointless.

I've seen SDs with MTs in oly before and it works fine.

Biggest pile of bullshit I have heard in a while.

This is all just wrong, I actually use thoraxes and torpedoes as my main DG weapon, if you know how to use them, then you can hit mostly anything, and they are really powerful.

Brutal Thorax is a great weapon, one of the best for a proper PvE/PvAI SD in my opinion.

You deploy a coupple o' Thorax's.

They begin to fire, the ai moves a bit, the thorax's stop tracking completely.

That's not a bug; they don't track after a certain distance anymore.

Certain distance being barely any distance ??

Seems more like a bug to me the way I was experiencing it.
