Re: Homing beacons are awesome

a tactic i often use, is to attach it to my Own AT-ST, that way i get a moving UAV and an early warning alarm system if any sneaky rebels are trying to plant proton grenades to my hull.

and as you said we found very early on in testing when the torpedo launchers had less ammo and AT-ST's were even stronger, Painting your target with a beacon so you were informed of teh AT-ST's movements was very important.

That Infantry Beacon was one of my favorite unlocks! Slap one on a walker and you're good to go.

You know only we don't fear at-sts anymore preach.  I marched one up into a nest of about 12 rebels the other day and they scurried for cover like you wouldn't believe big_smile

Maybe they didn't get the concept of withering fire?
