: WHY IN THE NAME OF BLUE FUCKING HELL DID CHRIS BRING BACK LOOKERS? Great.
: We're on the Pfhor homeworld, and so Lookers and Wasps probably deserve
: ample representation, because they are Pfhor to some extent. But they're
: not fun! Ever! Getting surrounded by Lookers on Hex Level 73 and
: invariably losing a bar and a half on a level with only two 2x cans is
: not a fun way to lose -- it's just annoying. I hate having to stare at the
: ground. I hate it. It's not fun. At least Simulacrums aren't almost
: completely invisible unless you're looking at the floor.

Hehe, I hated lookers in M1, because everything was dark (here I am thinking of Colony Ship...) But I found them fun in Rubicon because they had a pleasent "Oh shit!" factor that makes the game more tense and ultimatly rewarding when you finish or find the save term. And man, there is nothing like throwing a single magnum round into a crowd of Pfhor and hitting a looker, which causes a chain reaction of looker explosions throwing the corpses of minor fighters 30 feet into the air. No Place Like Up rules.
