Holy Repetitive Game Play, Batman. The feat system would be more fun if ... dying wasn't so very punitive. Also, what, no shield purchase option? Not armor? There's basically *1* gameplay style that works. LAME. How is this a badge game??
Kinda easy. Make it tougher, add skill upgrades for yourself and the ability to assign weapons to others or maybe the others have stats and they improve round to round - giving a reason to hold on to them and not send them all to search.
The AI is just WAY too bad for the challenge mode to be any fun at all. Having varying levels of AI is clearly sorely missing. Also, why the linear chassis/weapon/armor progression? Why not have some items that are better because they do similar damage for less weight but cost more? Same with armor and chassis. And definitely needs upgradeable AI. Wow.
