It just doesn't work in their testing chamber, only in live missions. No, the real joke is that for the first year and a half after it was introduced Fast Fire used to do the opposite and make weapons take longer to recharge; and nobody caught it because PGI doesn't have a bug report form. Now the Command Console? That's the real joke. A 3 ton piece of equipment that does nothing and, according to PGI, will never do anything.

I get sad at MWO now, I still enjoy playing it and being a giant robit but all the talk is so negative about nearly everything that PGI does that it's depressing. So then I try to counteract that by running my HBK-4P with 9 flamers for a match or two just to get my spirits up. Go Flunchback!

Just to make sure, this means that the water hexes are effectively at -1? This entire time I'd been thinking I couldn't shoot out if I stood in them because they're -2 and this would submerge my mech.

Water hexes count as level with the surrounding hexes. It's only at -1

Hovercraft float on the surface, so they ignore water depth; a `Mech does not float so it does not ignore water depth.

Is there a tactical reason to occupy tank-hexes you own with mechs? Can the mech shield the tank from fire? That would be neat and a good way to make vehicles last longer.

The main tactical reason to put your own things in a tank hex is that you can stick 2 tanks in one hex without loving anything up.

That'd be awesome. If the mech is running and turning and slips / skids, I like to think it'd be treated as a charge attack on the tank. Also, high-fives for Gwaihir.

Strictly speaking, Jabber is just the old name for XMPP, an open-source XML-based instant messaging protocol. If you say "you can talk to me on Jabber" it is similar to saying "you can visit me on HTML". e. OK, apparently Jabber is also a client and network built on XMPP. Interesting. My company has in-house IM client software that uses XMPP and that we describe as being Jabber compliant, but I didn't realize jabber.org has a specific client too. My mistake.

Its many-ton feet practically danced as they brushed the earth and he completed his turn with a little hop that went unassisted by his cooling Jump Jets. The gold dot in the center of his crosshairs pulsed as they slid over the Bobcat’s back. The Griffin’s arm-mounted PPC swung in a wide arc as his machine struggled to bring it in line with the nimble opponent. He fired a fraction of a second too soon and the azure whip of his PPC passed perhaps a meter over the medium laser housing he’d originally assumed was the Bobcat’s head. It was such an unusual design for the Taurians: nimble and moderately durable rather than simply being a slow, plodding tank of a `Mech. It worried him how it could run and fire its entire armament without a pause. On a hunch, he toggled over to thermals and uttered a curse into the comms. “That little jumpy bastard has double heatsinks. Where the hell did the Taurians get their hands on the schematics?” “Same place we did, I’d imagine,” Reliance replied sardonically. “The Mariks weren’t exactly discerning.” “Still,” Fynn grunted, “gently caress me. I’d thought Duke Hasek’s upgrade plan was supposed to give us a technological edge for a decade or two.” ************************************************************************ “I’ve got this guy,” Sergeant Laguerre called as his birdlike Raven crested a low rise. He kicked out with the machine’s right leg, using the motion to come about in a surprisingly sharp turn. Unlike most `Mechwarriors who strove to combat the bobbing, bird-like gait possessed by all `Mechs with retrograde legs, Laguerre instead cultivated it. He felt that enemy infantry found the inhuman motions unnerving; and that the unusually exaggerated running motion made his little Raven harder to hit. Lately he found his machine wasn’t so much running as it was hopping from one leg to the other. The technicians had hated him for it; and he’d been chewed out for putting unnecessary stress on his leg actuators; but Laguerre didn’t care. A little extra stress on the knees was preferable to being shot, after all. It wasn’t overconfidence in his unhitability that enabled Troy to charge into close combat with a `Mech that outweighed him by at least fifteen tons. In truth, he recognized the enemy design: it was a Quasit, an IndustrialMech with guns that was no match for a real BattleMech; not even a little one like his Raven. The actinic flash of his medium lasers left greenish-purple streaks on his retinas, and set the Quasit’s armor running in molten rivulets. His machineguns yammered relentlessly, and white-hot tracers glanced away from the Quasit’s rounded armor plating. The .50 caliber rounds were unlikely to do any real damage at this range but he wasn’t above trusting in dumb luck. At the very least, they might distract the pilot. He was surprised that the enemy pilot ignored him completely, focusing its own impressive quintet of anti-infantry weapons on the Lieutenant’s Watchman. Troy Laguerre was so focused on the `Mech that he completely overlooked the Tank dead ahead of him. His Raven staggered as its large laser bored into his machine’s left torso. He leapt backwards almost instinctively, stopping his headlong run as his Raven’s birdlike beak twisted to cover his badly weakened armor. The hovertank hove into view, looking like a bar of soap with a wing-shaped turret. He muttered a bitter curse. The Drillson was one of the biggest hovertanks in the Inner Sphere. It wasn’t fair!

It was a bad hit, but it didn't VVV He ran through a hex with a dead `Mech in it, he was actually out of MP.

Hooo boy. The good news is I could take out the Plainsman pretty easily this turn by backing up one hex (unless I blew a whole bunch of 8+ rolls). The bad news is that I'd get to be target practice again, with 5s for the Quasit to hit me this time. Edit: Can my pilot tell which of the Quasit's weapons are arm-mounted, and on which arms?

It was a bad hit, but it didn't Ugh, I didn't realize the dead mech was +1 MP. Whoops. That'll teach me. Yes, my intent was to be unhittable, instead I took a shot on an 11 to hit  Although I guess even with the partial cover I still would have eaten the shot on a 12.

That Watchman's sheet is looking awfully orange awfully quick now, and the Huron just barely scraped by. Gonna have to watch your back, Olo. Lit'rally!
