@Evil Snowman
In the briefing it was mentioned that Mist immediately responds to any direct attacks by activating with no cooldowns. However, @Mr Rage has the right idea on how to tackle it, so if all pilots work together you can take it down. Elora's HUD upgrade also informs when the weapon is activated.
Edit: 1000 OOC POSTS, HOLY SHIT. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.
*mumbles about having 4602 in his rp*
Naw, tho. This is a solid RP, you should know this better than anyone.
