The old one got unstickied, but it was kinda old and in some ways poorly written, so I'm making new guides. I might use some of the stuff from the old ones, or maybe not.
So far I've made guides for Cybermind and Hi-Pan:
http://www.championswiki.com/index.php?title=FATAL_ERR0R:_RAID_Array
http://www.championswiki.com/index.php?title=Hi-Pan_Alert

Please review these and let me know what you think needs added.

what do I think needs added?
Cybermind needs maps, and maybe enemy stats.
Hi-Pan Alert might not be the right name, also a faux-map made by using a ridic camdist value while looking down might be useful too.

Also, if you guys know of useful tips and tricks that aren't mentioned, let me know.

Unless there's some game-stopping encounter (i.e., Cyber-lard's firewall and data rain) or quarantine / lock-out (i.e., Harmon Labs Heist, Gravitar, Fire & Ice) most teams should be able to achieve victory with wave after wave of their own men.

Uh, yeah, that was part of the plan already. But it's also part of the purpose of a guide to make it easier for people to get things done.

OK - but instead of clicking a link to another post, why not make the guide on the forum instead?

Might point out that that stage timing corresponds to Cybermind's health bar:

1. At full health, Cybermind will intermittently use Digital Rain. This will continue until he drops to 1/3 health.
   
2. When Cybermind first hits 2/3 health, he will summon Data Probes. This does not repeat. He will not use Digital Rain while the Data Probes are active. If Digital Rain was active at the time he hit 2/3 health, the data probes will not activate until after the rain ends.
   
3. Gigantic Cybermind occurs at 1/3 health; again, it will not activate until after Digital Rain ends.

@pantagruel01 Ah, yes, that sounds useful to add.

Any particular notes on the other alerts? I have ideas on what advice to give about them, but it's nice to have another PoV.
