M3hillus Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Although I've yet to personally use a ripley with TG mining, I got to thinking that it doesn't have the greatest defense against the asteroid's monsters. Perhaps giving the ripley a Proto-Kinetic esque weapon would be nice. Could be something that you buy with your mining points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZD Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 You should be able to build a mecha plasmacutter and equip it on a Ripley, and it serves as a fairly decent ranged weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthdivine Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I can tell you as someone who exclusively uses a RIPLEY, they are far from useless against the asteroid monsters, infact it's an inverse effect against them. Monsters that you have an easy time killing outside of it (Broodhives) utterly destroy the RIPLEY, while large bulky and strong monsters (Golitah) go down very easily. Grab a welder from the two toolboxes, load a fuel tank into the cargo compartment and at most you need to worry is your Drill getting destroyed in combat.
