Heavy liner

Heavy liner is described as “A large robotic machine designed for base defense and combat reconnaissance.” It costs 300 minerals and 20 supply in demo build 23882143, and its configuration carries the heavy-unit flag. That flag does not determine armour, weapon range or reconnaissance vision. The archived configuration has no linked combat prefab, so those measurements remain unresolved. Base defence and combat reconnaissance describe intended jobs; they do not guarantee that the machine can cover the base while scouting. Compare its role with Arc Spear before treating the heavy flag as a strength rating.

Build 23882143 preserves a description that combines defence with reconnaissance. Heavy liner uses 20 supply; Drone squad costs 90 minerals and Arc Spear 600. These prices identify different army commitments, not the mechanism that lets Heavy liner carry out both jobs. No linked vision or deployment component explains the pairing. The description remains an attributable design intention, while a history of mode changes or a claim about how often the machine leaves a base would require another source.

At 300 minerals and 20 supply, Heavy liner represents a commitment worth checking against the job you need. A heavy-unit flag gives a classification, not an escort rule or a weapon profile. For a defensive purchase, investigate protection, target types and firing reach; for reconnaissance, investigate vision and escape options. Those questions remain unanswered by the absent combat link. The Plasma tank page offers another described vehicle role, but a similar build time cannot make their practical arrival or battlefield value equivalent.

Do not infer a guaranteed opening at the base merely because the description also mentions reconnaissance. The earlier archive reading dated 31 August 2026 did not measure how Heavy liner moves or how its defence works. An absent prefab link does not make it untargetable, either. The useful comparison is between documented roles and the combat evidence that each page actually has. Read Arc Spear and Plasma tank for the faction’s other vehicle intentions, then keep a numerical counter to Heavy liner unresolved until its own weapon and protection are supported.
