I've been really enjoying this game since I started, but it wasn't until last night that I got completely hooked.
Got a 50% off coupon and decided to buy some plat and the starter pack. Everything in my arsenal was max ranked, so I rushed my Rhino, Hek, and the incubation on my Helminth Charger.
So first, I want to introduce Angel and say thanks to some amazing people in our clan and alliance who helped me get the Plastids I needed for the power core (and so many other things).
I ran the Rhino with my Fragor and Hek and was cackling with glee. It's amazing how different that frame feels, and it feels substantial! The secrets of Hek have also been revealed and I understand why people love this thing.
Frost's building in the foundry along with a ton of new weaponry (earned, not bought with plat- saving that for unlocks). It's gonna be a great week.
I mostly use the plat for slots and orokin catalysts. It makes a very serious difference, and if you're flush with plat it's worth considering spending a little plat on upgrading your favorite weapons and/or frames. Otherwise you just have to pray you're online when catalyst blueprint alerts happen, which hasn't happened to me in... a week?
Also, I see that you went with the classic Char colors for your Rhino.
I used the free potatoes from my starter pack to upgrade my Hek and my Fragor. I've got the Frame potatoe and I was holing it back because I wasn't sure what Frame to use it on, but you make a good point. I'll slot 1 on my Excalibur and craft/buy another for Rhino.
That color scheme just looked good, plus I don't have anything beyond the basic colors.
Even though it'll be a while before you beat the sacrifice, I can't in good conciousness recommend wasting a potato on excalibur, when iirc umbra comes with one already on him

The Frost you're making has been one of my mainstays, at least. He has very good basic stats, and his 3 is kind of downright defining for all defense-type missions. As in "the difference between whether a pug defense against Corpus succeeds or not is often based on "do we have a Frost"" levels of defining.
And it does look good. It's just I build gunplas and that red-and-gold scheme on a robot usually means "this robot is piloted by a Char clone". Such as, for example:
@Drascin nice- I've got a perfect grade Strike Gundam I've assembled, but haven't done any paint or polish on it. I'm primarily a miniatures painter. Recently finished a Pirate bust. WIP pic:
Good to know about Frost. I've been in a number of games where they use Snow Globe to defend points.
Super excited to play more with Rhino tonight.

You know, Rhino was never one of my favorites. I used him a lot simply because he has much better stats than Excalibur and it was a long time until I got Frost for a "basic stat stick" frame, but I was never super happy with him.
Lately, my tank frame of choice has been Oberon. He's less pure tough than Rhino and Frost, but he has HP regen for peanuts cost in energy and when soloing that makes a huge difference.
That credit farm in Ceres seems odd, says 25k per, but i'm making way more than that. I guess the bonus affects the credit score after the scoreboard? I've made and spent a couple million it seems.

Frost is awesome as a stationary defense frame, but once you get the augment for his 4 he turns into a really good mobile CC supporter too. With the augment, his 4 will provide you and your team with a small, Rhino Iron Skin style temp HP pool on top of its normal decent AoE damage and crowd control goodies so just keep spamming it out to CC everything and buff your team while dropping snow globes as needed.

I assume you have a booster running that gives you more credits? I buy the prime cosmetics packs which give you 90 day affinity and credit boosters. Running Ceres I get about 45k+ per run. Of course should really be running the index for credits.
I've got two more pals who'd like to join me in The Space Knights of Arcadia if we've got the room (PC):

Thanks!
In other news, I've been having a lot of fun but I keep getting caught up on grinding instead of just progressing through story missions like I should. I get super turned off by some of the junction requirements. Right now I have one where I have to do a spy mission with all 3 successfully extracted. I'm not great at those.
I also had one that required 5 missions with only a melee weapon equipped. Luckily a friend offered to carry me through those, so that helped.
I think tonight I'll try and power through that spy mission and see what the next planet has to offer.

Nope, after action report says I earned 25k or therebouts each time. Not aware of any boosters, I haven't bought anything other than inv slots.
Found a 30min credit booster in the wild yesterday- didn't even know those existed.

Was watching one of my streamers playing Destiny 2 last night and then they switched over to Warframe. After seeing hyper space ninjas in action, I had to reinstall last night. I had actually installed once before but never even ran the game. I gotta watch these beginner videos but I'm very curious to see how I like it.
Nosf- I know Massive (figuratively) did. The Division had a massive resurgence after the 2nd round of Destiny 2 bollocks. It's part of the reason why the game's sequel got pushed so hard into production.

Trading might still be archaic, but hey, these Frost Prime BPs do occasionally sell.
I just finished grinding for Nidus parts. I got quite lucky and saw zero duplicates. I did have a couple missions where I didn't get a part, but I know how lucky I was.
Now I just have to finish the quest series.
And wait for a platinum discount so I can buy frame space.

For inexpensive things, I just use the market. It's not worth my time to try to haggle for a plat or two off an item that only costs 5-10 in the first place.
For more expensive (50+) items, I'll ask in trade. Usually people come in at 1.5-2x what I can find it for on the market, they get ignored. 10-20% off a reasonable Marketplace price is awesome, anything more is just icing.
But yeah, warframe trade chat is "my stuff is precious, your stuff is worthless, now let's haggle" personified.
It does annoy me a bit when people try to haggle a marketplace price, but I stand firm on that, especially since I usually price on the lower end of things. If a piece is going for 20-30, and mine is 22, no I'm not dropping to 20 or less just because. Clearly the 20's aren't around and you got up to me, or you'd be dealing with them.

Fall down seven times. Stand up eight.
Three times have we not had everyone make it to the boss room to start the fight. Once, someone managed to get themselves locked out.

It contains some spoilers for Apostase Prologue and some other big quests, so keep that in mind. With that said, it comes from this video:

Apparently this username does not exist. Any chance there's a letter swap or an O instead of a 0 or something?
Also, hooray, new thread!
Not his usual, so that's why I was confused.

Then they get mad at you when you call them out on it.
Oh well, managed to get my last Ash Prime part anyways.

There will be no more pain, just speed.
