Don't worry, she can be rebuilt (probably). If not, she rejected the protagonist anyway so it's not a great loss. Now show us moar anime/updates, please.

I like your 180 degree turn on Ava that you pick the Renegade option when you've been going Paragon most of the game.

Guess that pity fuck broke you.



No.

The Captain is more immature than I thought if he thinks sparing his childhood sweetheart is going to mean anything at all in this war.
It's bad enough he joined the military for the sake of being with her but now the whole burden of winning this war is on his shoulder, and he decides to chicken out at the last minute?

Yeah that would make a great ending, right?

No. That doesn't happen. If he's that much of a coward in the first place, he wouldn't have thrown Sunrider into countless risky missions again and again.
Ava did her duty. *salute*
Well done, Commander. :salute:
You were always my number one.

Sola. What exactly does the Sharr's power do?
sol.jpg
By focusing all her nanomachines, the Princess is able to greatly focus her defensive abilities and make every shot count. It is similar like mine, but her potential is much much more.
rk3.jpg
Don't feel too bad, Sola. I appreciate you staying to help.
sol.jpg
I was never offended, Captain. Rather, it is an honor to fight alongside you and the Sharr of Ryuvia.
rk.jpg
Alright. Sola, Asaga, awaken your nanomachines. All units, advance!
asa2.jpg
Affirmative, Captain.
rk.jpg
Chigara! Commence assisted targeting on Battleship Karling and Arpad!
02.jpg

chi3.jpg
Assisted targeting applied!
rk.jpg
Battleships. Prepare to fire at the Assault Carrier! On my mark!
03.jpg


65% Accuracy. I wish the Sunrider is close enough to provide targeting support, but it'll have to do.

rk4.jpg
Fire!
04.jpg

05.jpg

rk.jpg
That's a good hit! Come on! One more!
06.jpg

07.jpg

rk.jpg
Yes!
08.jpg


Those new Ryders do not look inviting. We have to take out at least a few quickly.
Tsk, if only I spared the Phoenix some badly needed upgrades...

rk.jpg
Claude! Grav Pull that Advanced Ryder!
cla.jpg
Pull complete! Mya-hahah!
rk.jpg
Icari! Proceed to the front line. Prepare to trap the enemy!
09.jpg

rk4.jpg
Good! Claude! Pull it again! Icari! Strike!
ica.jpg
Take this!
11.jpg

rk.jpg
Tsk, that hull integrity... Frigates, open fire!
12.jpg


It took three shots to cut it down.

13.jpg

14.jpg


We're not really making good progress.

rk.jpg
This doesn't look good guys... (if only the Sunrider is here...)
asa2.jpg
Captain. Believe in us.
rk.jpg
All of you, the moment you are in any danger, retreat and stay in formation. The Flak cover from Battleship and Cruisers will ensure you're safe from any warhead attacks.

I relay commands to the rest of the fleet to advance.

14.jpg

15.jpg

17.jpg


With the movements complete, I spent the remaining energy to fire at the nearby PACT Elite.

18.jpg


We couldn't score the killing blow.

19.jpg

and.jpg
That was pathetic, Captain! Now, watch this!
20.jpg

rk.jpg
Tsk, it's a multi-hit pulse cannon! There's no way our Frigate can evade that kind of fire!
21.jpg

kry.jpg
We've lost a Frigate!
22.jpg

chi3.jpg
They're now attacking the Battleships!
23.jpg

24.jpg

25.jpg

26.jpg

rk.jpg
Bah! That's the second Frigate!
kry.jpg
Enemies are advancing!
27.jpg

rk.jpg
Maybe that'll tilt the accuracy onto our favor!

Vice versa, too.

28.jpg

29.jpg


Two frigates down, damage to Cruiser and Battleships. I'll manage.

rk4.jpg
Everyone, it's our turn!
and.jpg
Apologies, Captain! We've gained more than we lost!
chi.jpg
Alert! Four additional PACT Advanced ryders have arrived!
31.jpg

rk2.jpg
If only... Sunrider is there.
asa2.jpg
Regrets won't do anything, Captain.
rk.jpg
I know, kid. I'm just-
asa2.jpg
Keep believing. *I* shall do my best.

Nice of the Assault Carriers to move in closer! I say we unload those Cannons at them! Fire away! Chigara! Assisted targeting on Battleship Komnenos.
t02.jpg

t03.jpg

rk4.jpg
Again!
t04.jpg

t05.jpg

rk4.jpg
That's the second Carrier down! Looks like they've deployed two Support Ryders from the Carrier. Big headaches. Battleship Komnenos, fire at the last Carrier!
t06.jpg

t07.jpg

rk.jpg
Kryska! Lock on rail guns!
t08.jpg

kry.jpg
Thought you'd never ask, Captain!

Both shots have hit their marks! Carrier is down!
t11.jpg

rk.jpg
Asaga we're reading severe damage to the frame of the Blackjack! What's your status?
asa2.jpg
It's fine, Captain. I'm pushing this machine to its limits. Trust me, I just need a little more time...
t12.jpg

rk4.jpg
Tsk... Alright. Sola! Take out that Support Ryder!
t13.jpg

t14.jpg

sol.jpg
Result is satisfactory.
rk.jpg
Frigate! Combine firepower with Cruisers to take out that weakened PACT Ryder!
t15.jpg

t17.jpg

t18.jpg

rk.jpg
Great job! Claude! I need you to peel off that PACT Support from its flak cover!
t19.jpg

cla.jpg
Gotcha, Captain!
t20.jpg

rk4.jpg
Cruisers! Missiles away!
t21.jpg

t22.jpg

C'mon...

Damn! Another one would do!
t24.jpg

Just one intercepted! Finish itttttt!

Tsk!

I'll take care of it!

Nice positioning. Claude! Pull in that Pact Advanced Ryder into our trap!

Fall!
t31.jpg

t32.jpg

rk2.jpg
... Wow. That was actually a very good hit.
sol.jpg
She has surpassed me, Captain.
asa2.jpg
I told you we'll be fine, Captain!
rk.jpg
Don't lose focus! There's still more to come! Icari, return to formation!
t33.jpg

rk.jpg
All units, hunker down for PACT's counterattack!
t34.jpg

and.jpg
Hahaha... Cower before us! You can destroy us but more will come and replace us! It is futile! Watch Captain, as we execute each and every one of your comrade!
t35.jpg

t36.jpg

rk4.jpg
Another Frigate down. You'll pay for this Andhaira!
and.jpg
We are infinite, Captain! You are your merry band of fighters will soon learn the true meaning of utter despair!
t37.jpg

t38.jpg

ica.jpg
Ugh! I'm hit!
rk4.jpg
Icari! Look out! Missiles incoming!
and.jpg
We bid you adieu, Crooked Bee. Before that, tell us, what is your bra size?
ica.jpg
Rot in hell you inane asshole!
t39.jpg

Flak guns! Now!
t40.jpg

t41.jpg

ica.jpg
Shit! I'm down! Sorry, I gave it my best shot-
rk5.jpg
No.. it's my fault. I- I didn't upgrade your Ryde-
ica.jpg
Oh shut up with the fucking regrets already! We're still in this fight! We can still win this!
chi3.jpg
Captain! More missiles!
t42.jpg

t43.jpg

kry.jpg
The Karling has taken severe damage! Hull below 50%! Uuughhh! The Paladin is hit!
t44.jpg

rk4.jpg
Kryskaaa!!
t45.jpg

chi3.jpg
The Karling is on its last legs, Captain! Look out, Lieutenant! More missiles incoming!
t46.jpg

rk4.jpg
Kryska! Status report!
kry.jpg
Captain, I'm sure you already know this - but - permission to fire all my missile banks before the Paladin retreats, Sir.
rk4.jpg
Permission granted, soldier. Wait for my mark.
kry.jpg
Affirmative.
t47.jpg

and.jpg
Still trying to win, Steve? Hahahha!
rk4.jpg
Is that all you've got you Paki scum?

Glad you asked... Nope.
t48.jpg

Two battleships have entered the combat zone.

Tell Icari not to be too reckless when you meet her, Lt.

Request denied, Sir. I really dislike that mercenary. You should tell that to her yourself, Sir.

That is the first defiance you've displayed to me order so far, Lt... But I'll let it slide.

Nay, monster. It is you who betrayed us. And it will be I, who shall hold the crimson banner. For you have already spat upon all it stood for! The Great Arcadius only made a single mistake! And that is allowing a monstrosity like you into our ranks! I, Fontana, shall carry forth the ideals of the Great Arcadius! Take him to me! I shall unmask his treachery before you all!
and.jpg
DON'T LISTEN TO HIM! I AM THE RULER OF ALL! I WILL LEAD YOU ALL TO-

Everyone stood in silent as the PACT Ryders surround the badly damaged unit and bring it back within the Paradox Core's docking bays. And soon the monitor is filled with the interior of the PACT's installation where an unbelievable revelation is about take place...

Everyone, *this* is the secret of Diode! Behold the Alts!
cla.jpg
Uwaaah... that medical term sounds so foreign to me...
kry.jpg
Captain, the Alliance Intel just confirmed that person DOES match Arcadius' last known appearance... but still - I am quite unsure what to make of this...
rk2.jpg
Lieutenant, let's just observe this horror show unfold... It's not like we can do much now.
fon.jpg
The Alts! A race of super humans, manufactured to mimic us! But who could have foreseen it would surpass its creators?! The Diode tragedy was the day when it finally surpassed and cast aside their creators!
rk4.jpg
Chigara? What the hell is that thing? Is what Fontana saying is true?
chi3.jpg
I... I can't say.
45.jpg

arc.jpg
Hahhahaah... so what if you exposed us?! It's too late, Fontana! We already number in the hundreds! We've embedded ourselves throughout the galaxy, manipulating ideologies, nations., supplanted leaders.... we own ... everything. Just like we owned your precious little PACT.
fon.jpg
No.

*Bang*

46.jpg

rk4.jpg
NO!! You fool! You could've gotten more information out of him! Damn it!
47.jpg


That gunshot signaled the end of this battle.

And a sinking revelation of a new threat blooming across the galaxy.
I drew a deep sigh at what had transpired and quickly ordered the crew to commence repairs to the Sunrider.
It is unknown what would become of the war between the Alliance and PACT, but tomorrow will bring many changes.
As I collapsed back to my captain's chair, I took a deep breath and look around me, searching for a familiar figure who is mysteriously absent.
Frustration was followed with a sinking recalling of what had just transpired prior to the Alt's unmasking...

48.jpg

rk5.jpg
Oh no...Ava!

I rose from my command chair. Part of me wanted the answer from the medical team now.
But another part urged me to see it with my own pair of eyes.
It is too late for regrets.

So, the Jews clones robots mutants *insert your generic human replacement race here* are to blame for everything? Not surprising. Also, that makes Re- eer, Chigara more suspicious, considering her looks. Oh well, as long as the game does paint them as genocidal supervillains who can be exterminated without remorse, it will be ok.

In any case, it's still better than guilt-tripping a blind woman into abandoning her plans and/or future to satisfy the main character's selfish desires.

It should've ended if it wasn't for Asaga wtf-pwning everything.
I was planning to write a Bad End where going all gung-ho backfired when Sunrider is taken out of the equation.
It certainly felt that way till I realize the Awakening -100 HP/turn does not destroy the Ryder. Why? Because fuck balance.
Still looking forward to more lulzy shit on part 3.
I want to go in all dark and emo - but I can't help but laugh at these replicant plot point.

Final Thoughts & Rant on the Characters.
I was somewhat disappointed that the side mission had no narrative effect (correct me if I am wrong) aside from the amount of reward and difficulty that varies between side missions. Small game can't expand too much, I suppose. Characters like Claude is pr. funny on intro, but you can see where it'll lead. There is nothing serious about her. This is all she is. Unless Sam the Writer wants to pull something crazy like she's actually a Prototype who tried to collect the Captain's DNA upon arriving at the Sunrider. Bwa-ha-ha. Go ahead! Go crazy! I'm actually curious if you're gonna try to make Claude into something serious. But at least her ryder's grav-gun is kinda fun to utilize in battles.

*Warning Steve is going into full rant and off-topic mode*

Icari was more impactful. Bringing her onboard and hearing her carrying out this sort of jobs for the Alliance shed some more light on the 'not so nice' image of the Alliance, but the Sunrider's just a ship (that's my stance) and the Captain is not a politician. He can't really choose allies if he wants to win this war. But some lines... you just can't cross like killing civilians. Hence, I said nope. And the pay off was decent. A tense escort, with her character backstory being told and concluded. Also, dropping Shield's family here was a nice touch. Good. Very good. I hope they're not done with her. Cause I felt she's a 'strong' character who had to step aside to let others be in the lime light. (Don't talk about Ava. She's basically IN YOUR FACE ALL DAY LONG but that's another point.)

Asaga... uhhhhh. I guess she's okay. She's a newtype. Hahaha. Yeah. Okay. I'm done. OKAY OKAY, SO SHE LIKES THE CAPTAIN! But had to step aside cause everyone's cheering for her nerdy friend. But does the Captain like any of these two girls? Shields seem to like Baker girl, but ... Steve doesn't... really see these two kids the same way. I think about these two as civilian passengers. They have no military background and don't really belong on the ship, much like Claude. And for some reason they both want to be there. At first, Chigara joined because her best friend is leaving her. That's quite unfair, don't you think? And from out of nowhere Chigara wants to cuddle with the Captain. Mmmmmmm why? Was the tea that good? Not giving the player option to say 'No, sorry... No time for tea with you.' kinda forced Chigara on us. I don't like that feeling. I don't mind if she suddenly came up with a gizmo to save the ship. I respect that, but for the Captain to keep saying 'Yes, yes, yes I know how you feel, Chigara. I like your bakery dreams.' when the player (me) don't feel the same way is ratcheting up the annoyance levels towards the end. And seeing Shields cry in her arms. HAHAHAHA. Muh short and stout feelings, smashed up like a tea pot. Such pain. No. I definitely can't see the two being together. It was some bizarro pairing that doesn't seem to work but unknown forces of space whales seem to project their psychic suggestions and compel the ship to make it happen.

As for Kryska. That's a very nice ... big...mech. Lt. *Salutes* Keep up the good work.
Hints of her background may trigger some side stories that develop her further. But her debut at Far Port did very little to interest me. It was only at Ongess I understood that she's probably something more than that. And giving a view point from the Alliance's soldier (if she was to be believed) is pretty nice. Looking forward for more. Having her mix it up with Icari does get tiresome, but I guess the two contrasting personality does make them harder to get along as colleagues. It works. Sorta. But nah, you can't make me choose. I won't even take a minute to decide. Unless if Kryska comes with 3 Machiavelli Class Battleships.

Did we forget someone - oh yeah, that Star Girl. Sheeesh. What a sad story. I think I'll bookmark her right now. This is a decent hint at mystery that was dropped during Mask of Arcadius. Too bad Asaga had to steal the lime light in the finale. But what can you do? To see her getting used to normal life, and having normal expectations bestowed upon her gives a nice warm, fuzzy feeling. She doesn't deserve to sit on that Sharr-lach and I hope the game doesn't force me to put her there again. (DO IT SAM! DO EEEEEEEET!) Cause that would hurt way more than putting Ava on the sword to get at the Legion. And hurt....is what makes it so emotionally engaging.

I have to say, at some point I half-expected that Asaga would eventually run out of power at the last moment due her abuse of her mech and then promptly being eaten alive by the bad guys, but thankfully, it seems this game borrows elements mostly from good animes :troll:

Anyway, looking forward at Part 3, if only to see if the protagonist stops whining and finally romances a space whale :D
