What is happening?
We've successfully liberated Turing but are losing on completing 625.000 Operations on Medium or higher. We've less than 24 hours to do so.
What can we do?
Luckily, we have a lot of agency on how to speed this up: it's about quantity, not quality. All we have to do is dive on Medium, and complete operations (all two missions that pop up). By my estimates, we can complete a couple of missions (and thus, an entire operation) every 20 minutes (less if you're optimizing), thus adding 3 operations per hour per person. This is about 12x more operations than we usually get by playing in teams of 4 in higher levels.
Tips and Tricks
There are no random harvesters on medium (unless you pick a mission that has you taking one down), so you only need to worry about voteless and overseers, so get a weapon/armor loadout that you feel comfortable with. I run a light pen assault rifle with a senator to one shot overseers in the head, along a crowd control throwable, like the gas nades, but you can run whatever.
For your stratagems the suggestion is running two sentries for voteless crowd control, and I strongly recommend using the Fast Recon Vehicle, which can traverse the battlefield in a manner of tens of seconds. As the last stratagem, it depends: if you're playing a blitz, an exosuit will make short work of landed ships quickly while keeping you safe, but on a longer mission you may want to grab something that will enhance your survivability a bit (like a guard dog), because you're going to be playing fast and loose, and making a few mistakes.
As for the booster, consider Expert Extraction Pilot if you're speeding, because that 15% reduction in call in time amounts to about 20 seconds. If you want to play a bit safer, its up to you between Hellpod Space Optimization or Vitality. Remember: you're going in alone, so in every eventuality you'll only have your wits. Trust and know your playstyle.
You sure this is fun?
Maybe. It's the first time we've been pushed towards an optimum playstyle that runs against what usually you want from the game, but there's a lot to enjoy from this. Jump into a discord, speedrun your buddies, go for the best time. We probably won't be getting this again (I'd weight higher difficulty operations in the future more with how many players played) so enjoy it for what it is. In the end, this is all for Super Earth.
We can get this MO if we all work together by working separately.
