Run the special fun mission now, so that way we get to see it without missing out on voting for any of the other missions that would have been put up alongside it. Think of it as a bonus stage or a gaiden chapter that was unlocked via enough of the pirate team meeting their sub-objectives.

You've been running this thread for literal years. I doubt anyone would begrudge you picking the odd mission that seems like more fun to run. Having said that, you're going to be hard pressed to top pirate mech mayhem.

These are all great ideas, but I think they would be better combined. Caesar Steiner, Thomas Hogarth, Hastur and cyborg Engine Joe fight in a Solaris match with the prize being a month-long hunting trip to bird alien territory. Halfway through the match is gatecrashed by the Death Commandos and the fighting spills out onto the streets, where a tragic accident results in baby Jeremiah Rose being flattened by an Atlas.

I would no poo poo watch a series about the Death Commandos as they showed up in that campaign. That was goddamn amazing and the high point of the LP for me so far.

It was also a series of missions that featured Clanners getting absolutely dunked on despite long odds and all their bullshit, and I'm always up for that. If only the DCs had gotten one more kill and taken them as Bondsmen!

More seriously there are a number of people / groups we haven't seen for a while. The last couple of years seem too recent to me, so I doubt it'll be Death Commandos, Hogarth or anyone since then. My money is on Caesar Steiner / the Steel Vipers, but I'd like to know how the Kell Hounds are doing as well.

None of your weapons are leg-mounted, so there's no reason why you can't do both. Either way char-boiling the Crab via infernos would do wonders.

1510/1511 are nice spots for melee. Anywhere else and the Crab will be higher than you and you won't be able to kick it. Kicks are great because they carry a -2 modifier and force a piloting check if you hit. The Crab has decent piloting so odds are it won't fall, but it wouldn't be the first time a mech has fallen on its face and died.

I was happy to learn that myself. Shoot a robot and then wrecking ball their face. Or in your case, shoot a robot and then kick it in the face. As it was explained to me, each turn has 3 phases: Movement, Shooting, and Physical. So move around, shoot weapons, then punch/kick/sword/whip/wreck/etc, always in that order unless you're the Gladiator from earlier in this scenario which could break those rules. also yes, please hit the Crab with Infernos while you're at it.
