Re: Aurora 1-2 Escaping Pegasus
When you are thinking of your strategy, here is the basic situation:
The giant robot is essentially blocking most of the hall leading to the two escape pods.
You could theoretically jump from one escape pod nook to the other to use as cover, taking a risk there.
You could destroy the giant robot.
If you cross the floor, you must maneuver around bodies and objects, which could trip you or cause delays.
As Desiraye discovered, there are other items of cover too, such as the table. I made it heavy metal (pardon the pun) to be an effective shield, if not 100%.
If you are on the catwalk, you have attack advantage to the oncoming robots (height) and light cover from the giant robot, allowing you to possibly run along it to the escape pod on the left.
The giant window behind the robot, if penetrated, would result in decompression and emergency procedures (which may be more or less severe depending on its damage).
The robots coming in from the hall are indeterminate in number but are likely not a few. Their place in our story is more for the effect of giving you need to hurry rather than a new swarm of enemies. Even if you overcome one or two, you are likely to be overwhelmed by the others.
I do not create the situation to railroad you into any one solution, so whatever road you take may or may not work. I try to at least include several possible solutions. So these are the things I had in mind, but you may think of something more or better.
The giant robot has 750 STA. (High damage means you hit between armored plates and lower damage means you hit its armor. Otherwise, you can do careful aim with the bonuses and penalties to maximize damage, as Desiraye is trying to do.)
