So Every game I play ends with a huge raid of mechanoids who snipe my colonists far beyond the range of my weapons. Every game, without fail.
One time I got them early on, and it was just two of them, with the normal difficulty and they wiped my colony out. Again.
Got pretty far in one game built parts of the ship, waiting for the AI core, could regularly fight off literally 20-30 attacking colonists with turrets, had a bunch of EMP mortars set up far in the back in the event of a mechanoid attack. So... about 15 mechanoids attack, stick all my colonists to EMP mortars and start firing. NOT ONE MORTAR HIT ITS MARK. I've noticed this with regular mortars. the map is covered with enemies but I've yet to see one go down from mortar fire. I was running seven of these things at once. Nope, all fine. Stationary mechanoids just lining up shots with mortar rounds landing 8 or 9 squares away from startling a trembling fawn. What the hell am I supposed to do to counter these god damn mechs??
