Data Sphere

I just realized that with the new ITS missions, I can not field the Ariadna "All Camo List."
I liked that list. It was not unbeatable by any means (I am not sure I was even .500 with it).
But I liked it and it was loads of fun!
Why can't I play this list any longer? Simple, you need specialists in the new missions!

No Camo Doctors in Ariadna
No Camo Engineers in Ariadna
No Camo Hackers of ANY sort in Ariadna

Listen, before any of you start, I am not whining, I am not complaining, I am merely stating what I feel to be competitively fact. If anything I am lamenting on a time that is passed! It is okay, I may need a few beers to cry over but I too will be "okay."
I love my game and am not going to stop playing because of this one minor thing. Was a fun list though, having all those Camo markers out there on the table and holding off the Antipod controller for the reserve model....

You could bring your all camo list and hope they play the annihilation scenario.

There's a simple solution. Switch to Shasvaasti.

I would Cat but even then the Classified Objectives require hackers/doctors/engineers.

I would bro but playing Combined is like Playing Pan O to me, and I still have to much pride in myself to go that low in life!

Did you miss that Forward Observers are also Specialists in the missions? All-camo Ariadna is perfectly viable and very strong, you just don't get to run as many Minelayers as normal.

You know you don't have to go after the secondary objectives, you can still just focus on the general ones that can be done by the FOs and ignore the ones you cant do, there is still a 50% chance that you will end up with secret objective that you can handle without Doctor, Hacker or Engineer, if I remember it correctly.

Plus you could do Hacker, Engineer, Doctor and AD: ICJ on your SpecOp, starting at least with an all Camo list.

You actually don't even need an engineer. The "engineer" mission is just blowing up a terrain item with D-Charges. Uxia is almost custom-made for that mission.

It's not nearly as bad as you make it out to be, 2 missions require no specialist and one requires an FO, which you have in spades. Plus you get to roll two missions and pick the one you want to do. The only way to have no achievable missions is to roll Data Scan and Exp. Drug. The odds of that, assuming you reroll doubles of the same mission, is about 5%. If you don't want to be forced to use Uxia all the time for her dcharges, then that raises you to a 16% chance of rolling two impossible missions.
