I don't have warframe installed right now wat doooo

Actually you should reinstall it right now, DE created a new grineer enemy and in their infinite sleekness gave it the boss drop table. Then they gave a low-level mobile defense mission which takes place on Earth, where you will fight dozens of them. The result?

And the mission is repeatable. Anyone who's playing this and needs neurodes or cells, go do the event before this gets fixed because I seriously doubt this is working as intended.

No, it's getting dislikes because the joke is "HAHAHAHA UNDERTALE AMIRITE GUYS"

based on the responses here im pretty sure its getting disliked because its the hippest new subject to throw a tantrum over, as evidenced by you getting disproportionately aggressive because you misinterpreted the joke

if anyone did actually wait to see whether or not they were hostile before attacking that would be kinda weird.

considering there was a bigass sign out front that said "NO STARTING FIGHTS", with another one inside and a couple dudes tied up and on display for rulebreaking, i assumed that if i didnt start anything the NPCs wouldn't either

"... Copy. Sabre, blowing through."

Trusting that his squadmates will handle the straggling fighters, Richard follows the Sky Marshall towards the renegade fleet. He lets his eyes wander across the gunship, realizing he might be the only GTO combatant to have a chance of snagging a close-up of Tlacelel's aircraft without being immediately in danger of obliteration.

As if it didn't look big enough from a distance, up close it's a monster. It looks to be in the ballpark of a hundred feet long at first glance, the engines pushing it along are big enough to crawl inside and take a nap in, and you could land a plane on the wing's control surfaces. To the aft of the gunship, you see the signature dome of a LAMS module on a plate extending over the engines, with another mounted beneath the nose towards the front; and the whole thing is layered with armor plates that look like they belong on a warship rather than an aircraft. As you try to pull up next to it for an even better look, one of Tlacelel's Sabres drops back and places itself between you and the gunship, the pilot looking directly at you and shaking their head.

I pop flares in attempt to shake the missile.

By dumping half your flares you are able to avoid the incoming barrage of certain death.

You dodge the missile, and the air around you is suddenly filled with 30mm shells as the enemy plane presses its attack into gun range.

Richard lines up a shot on another Rafale and depresses the trigger for particle projectiles.

With an ungodly scraping shriek, the PPC takes down another Rafale.

The incoming enemy planes avoid engaging the Sky Marshal, apparently thinking they'll have better luck with Mjolnir's pilots. Rafale 8 changes its heading towards Crash, 13 for Shortsword, 14 for Tourist, and 18 for Whiskey. 14 fires 2 HSMs at its target, and 18 launches one at Whiskey.

Enemy planes are now in gun range.

Two of the Rafales take a hit and angle away from your group. Additionally, 14 is now out of flares.

Roger gains some more altitude and releases not one but TWO RGM's at Rafale-10

Up closer, the tracking capabilities of the missiles are somewhat reduced.

Rafale-18 evades your missile, but 15 does not get away from the beams. Already weakened by Shortsword's missile, the lasers destroy it likely before the occupant knew what was happening.

The broken remnants of the Rafale flight return fire with a myriad of all-aspects. Two for one of Tlacelel's honor guard, two for Shortsword, and four for Crash.

The guardsman does not survive.

Though (most of) you cannot understand the words being said, it is clear that having almost a third of their force spent with only two casualties to show for it is not doing wonders for Navy morale.

The current enemy group will be in gun range at the end of the next turn, assuming any are left.

The Rafale fails to evade the incoming missile, thinning their numbers out by one.

Tlacelel's group enters missile range just slightly before you do, and engages the enemy planes. Having had a while to cool, the LAMS is once again able to protect him and his retinue from most of the initial barrage, but it quickly overheats and loses effectiveness.

Fastest way to level up the mastery rank is to just level weapons to lvl 30 and its up to you to keep them. Personally I like to keep my weapons

however you are given such limited equipment slots that this quickly becomes completely unfeasible
do not spend your starter plat (if they even still offer it) on ANYTHING but warframe and/or weapon slots
