Getting back to game talk, I get why people consider IS Streaks to be crap, but surely for Clan mechs they can be good? I mean, Clan Streak go all the way up to 6... A Vulture (/Mad Dog) can tote 36 SSRMs and he's just paying a tonnage penalty to ensure that every one always hits, right?

The bigger Clan launchers take longer to recharge, it's very noticeable and never really seems worth it as opposed to just taking a bit of effort to aim with regular SRM's. Clan Streaks: SSRM2 3.5 second recycle time SSRM4 5.0 second recycle time SSRM6 6.0 second recycle time

Voyager I posted:CW will use the long-planned Dropship mode. You will bring one mech of each weight category to battle. It does not clarify if your team is limited to any particular distribution on the ground at any given time, so it will be interesting to see if you're allowed to drop with 10 assaults and some scouts for your initial group. Way down in the FAQs section of post 2 Is there any team limit on what you take in the first spawn/wave? Right now we're not planning on having a limit on which 'Mechs are taken in the first drop. If a team wishes to take all Assaults at the start of a match, they're going to regret it as the fight continues and they start losing their assaults and are left with lights at the end of the match.

I don't think they get how focused fire works. I don't think they get how a lot of things work.

The thing that bugs me about Streaks, other than the cooldown on clan versions, is the random hit locations. I feel like the random hit locations nullifies any advantage you get with having the lockon. I've been using SRM6's lately, and I'd rather have that than a Streak-6, even when going against lights.

Fumblemouse posted:Way down in the FAQs section of post 2 Man, clans are going to own this mode so hard. Everyone could drop with Dire Wolf, Timber Wolf, Stormcrow, Koshi/Kitfox and they would poo poo on pretty much anything the IS could bring to the table. Even the Stormcrows are basically pocket heavies, and Adders can be kitted out as pocket mediums.

Paul posted:Will some planets be off limits? Looks like we might have an EvE situation, where fighting in the inner-sphere is faction only, while it may be possible to have player empires in the Periphery. But of course don't get your hopes up, all of this is just mist in Paul's farts. We probably wouldn't see anything like that for several years.

WarLocke posted:Eh, I get your point and normally would agree. The issue for me is the way the dual reticle and arm/torso linkage is done fucks with my eyes. It's not just a matter of wanting it simple. Clearly your best bet is the most rational one - take lots of hallucinogens and play without armlock until your mind is forced to accept the optical input.

Haven't they talked about having clans be down a man when facing the IS? I still hold that they should advance the timeline to like 3058/59. Not quite the power creep of the full on Civil War or Jihad Era, but at least to the point where we start to see IS Omni's more IS equivalents of lostech and some unique to the IS weapons like MRMs and RACs.

Depending on the map layout, it might be better to initially drop in faster 'mechs to ensure better positioning. I'm not sure an all-assault open would be a good idea. Then again, Gargoyle!

Nope, no clan tech on IS mechs (and visa versa) because that might involve PGI taking the effort to balance them in a way that clan tech isn't outright better.

It has completely changed my opinion of the Kitfox. It makes assaults cry, particularly IS mechs. Why gently caress around in the danger zone with a JR7-F when I can hold left mouse to 400-700 damage per match in a Kitfox?
