Advice needed re: A.T.A.G.
Hi all. 204 hours in the game and still can’t wait to play it every day. I’m only just now exploring and completing quests in Delysia, and have unlocked the use of ATAGs.
At first I thought, “great. There’s a series of areas along the eastern coast of Delysia south of the city that are overrun and I get swarmed whenever I get close. Perfect job for the ATAG.”
However, in practice, it’s a little obtuse. As far as I can find, you can only get ATAGs in the northwest area of Delysia, and you can’t fast travel while in one. So, although it’s a little tedious, I get in and make my way slowly toward the eastern coast.
I. Can’t. Get. There.
Every time I’ve tried, I’ve A) accidentally stumbled upon an area where you can’t pilot an ATAG and it forces me out - even though I was careful to navigate around the red-highlighted areas. I also can’t get back in it and move to a safer area without it immediately chucking me out again.
Then there’s scenario B) I start getting pelted by EMP-like bursts that I can’t see coming and destroy the ATAG before I can get anywhere close to my destination.
So, respectfully, what gives? I’m not a particularly skilled gamer, so it must be something I’m missing, but I try not to google TOO much. Any help is greatly appreciated.
TLDR: I can’t really use the ATAG because it gets destroyed or chucks me out before I can get close to occupied enemy areas, and traveling across the island in it is very slow. What am I missing?
