One of my favourite memories with this weapon is from a time I was playing on Springfield. My team sucked* and we ended up with only me left in my 4x Pinata Patton and two beacons to our name. I was like "Okay, we've lost this; best I can do is make it hurt for them."

Knowing the other team wouldn't be able to resist scoring a total party kill and hopefully snagging all five beacons, I camped out on the Port Bay beacon and waited for them to come to me, which they did, uncoordinated and one at a time, everyone obviously hoping to get that extra kill for their final score and not too worried about the danger one remaining robot could pose.

Their error. Using the plentiful cover to reload, I wiped out three of them; two Golems and another Patton toting Molots, before a Griffin who'd been following behind the second Patton managed to finish me off with support from an almost dead Natasha that had unfortunately been hanging out at the Shield beyond my missile range. I finished the battle defeated but still feeling pretty damn pumped from my glorious last stand and betting the other side were feeling that last bit of hurt.

My only regret is that one of my rocket salvoes went a little askew so it took longer than it should've to knock out Golem Number Two, otherwise I could have given that Griffin some serious hurt as well, or maybe made a dash to finish off the Natasha. Sure enough though, when the scores came through I'd beaten out everyone on both teams for damage, kills and even done respectably on beacon captures.

Anyway, yeah; you can have a lot of fun with massed Pinatas.


 * My robots are all knife fighters; I also have a Thunder/Gau Boa and a Taran Cossack and I generally spend the entire battle up to my hullnuts in guts. That means that even when we win a game, I often finish it watching from the sidelines because I spent my whole hangar royally messing up the enemy advance.  So basically, if //I'm// the last man standing at the end of a game then you can guarantee my team's been doing //something// horribly wrong.
