All hail the Serp!!!
I look around at random discussions of the Taerkastens now and then and I see people lauding the Hetzel for its spammability and death to host stations thing and the Bronsteijn for its sheer power, and maybe other units too, but I think not enough people give credit to my personal favorite Taerkasten vehicle, and possibly my favorite vehicle of the entire game!
All hail the Serp!
It's cheap to create, incredibly fast, and very powerful! What more could you want in a unit?!
Oh, the not dying thing. Well, who cares about that...
Discuss... =D

This unit here is the reason why mykonians need the ground cube. Or better yet, a GtG cube (tank) would be nice.
National martial law is finally here.


Re: All hail the Serp!!!
I remember one time in the Taerkast campaign that I swarmed legions of Serps onto a Resistance host station.
it crumbled, to my shock and amusement.

Re: All hail the Serp!!!
I personally think the Serp is useless. Sure, it's cheap, fast and quite deadly... But when you put it in the AI's hands it turns into an irritating bug. It won't target tanks and almost any plane can easily dodge it by flying in circles.
This could also be becouse I generally make everything in the game that I dont like BETTER. Perhaps I sholdn't be toying with god's creations...

Re: All hail the Serp!!!
What's that supposed to mean? It's also in your signature to! Or are you trying to say you shouldn't treat UA like some would treat "the sims" AI? Did yall know that serp can also mean a snake or search engines results page.Alfa wrote:I personally think the Serp is useless. Sure, it's cheap, fast and quite deadly...

Re: All hail the Serp!!!
This is because you use the serp for the wrong reasons. Serps are good for 2 things - quick anti-air deployment at low energy cost and perhaps their greatest use: destroying power stations.Alfa wrote:I personally think the Serp is useless.

A squad of Serps of aggressiveness level 2 with absolutely rock a power station. It's the quickest way to dismantle an enemy while you're main force closes in.

Re: All hail the Serp!!!
Actually serps can be an effective weapon in great numbers. I destroyed my friend in an online battle with a squad of 100 serps.
He was pelted by them.
