Question about the Syndicate Hoverbike

[FirstBornAlbatross]

So when I put the Hoverbike into an army with just a Runner, the Runner's image is the leader of the stack. I did the same thing with Indentured and the Indentured became the leader of the stack.

Is it supposed to be like this or is this a mistake?

This must be empire mode? I don't believe you are supposed to be able to build hoverbikes. I think they were meant to be hero primary pilot loadouts. How did you manage that?

I’m talking about the unit you get in the Revelations (2) map.

I’m just confuzzled as to why it’s never the stack’s army (image) even when I stack him with tier 1 units.

I think that the reason is that they didn't give the unit a stacking profile. My understanding is that you shouldn't be able to have the unit unless it is 'worn' by a hero. If it is a hero, then it should stack as a hero. If you have a hoverbike that runs around like a normal unit, that is a mistake, or a single-map only event. Then, my guess is that Flagship never took the time to put the unit in the stacking order. So you have a unit that doesn't know what level it is. Default is probably the last unit of all.

So it was a mistake then to not have it behave as a Tier 2 unit.

I’m a bit surprised they didn’t fix it already given it was part of the first DLC.
