So my marines were just taking too long to train to 5 stars so I thought screw it and went for the bugger, captured it ok but the valhalla didn't have a cargo life support system so they all died as soon as it was mine XD.

20 marines training for 4 days solid died but I think their loss was worth it :)

Nice additional kick in the teeth when I saw the 118 million credit repair bill as well :O

Huh? Don't marines install life support once they are done with capture? Weird...

Yes, that's seriously annoying. Had it happen with the Treasure Hunt plot.

Your right, I have been reloading it, the CLS gets destroyed everytime by the 2 Aegirs and vidars flanking it...also if i try to do the whole thing again the marines don't even make it past the second deck, oh well it was what I was training them for anyway...I still got ten left training but they are uber noobs...

TY! about the same I'd say, but I'm playin as Terran start in AP so tbh I'm just gonna buy one. The Vahalla is a giant gimmick, ugly as hell too, think I'm just gonna get it kitted out with 50 Fenrirs and 10 claymores and send it into a huge battle vs the Argon, see how well it does or how long it lasts rather.

It's as if someone told the 3D modeler:

"Put as many polygons in it as you can, and make sure it has no aesthetic appeal whatsoever or YOU'RE FIRED!"

I much prefer the old Valhalla, like a huge Try armed to the teeth (back when it still had teeth) and it fit through the gate iirc.
