Well Geese, what you do is you look at the list of CW planets, and next to those planets' names will be a number XX(in red)/XX (in blue) Red are attackers and blue are defenders. Bigger numbers are better (on both sides) for getting a match quickly as a solo.

It needs to be added to the OP imo

...wow, I feel like an idiot now. Dunno how I overlooked that list. Thanks.

Huh, no matter which side is blown off it will still do well, kinda interesting. But I'd change the lasers around to only have med pulses, 2 CT and 2 in each LT and RT.

About CW what does destroying the station while counterattacking as the defenders do?

I thought it'd win the match or something but you still gotta come up ahead on KOs.

If I am - heaven forbid - soloing CW, what's the best way to find a match and get in a game quickly?

Ever since i played the Dads, i cant resist puttin srm6 on everything.
loving Stalker has 2-4 missile slots for the Nahverteidigungswaffe, and 4 LLas would serve as main guns.
Its so tempting...

Washout posted:

3 LPL and 4 SRM4+A and 3 tons of ammo would probably fit easily.

Was anyone actually upset about the current map vote system? Gaming the vote multiplier system is mildly amusing and harmless.

Banano posted:

are upset and hurt about the fact that the playerbase can now actively avoid their dogshit maps and choose from the ones that are actually half decent.

People consistently avoiding particular pieces of content comes dangerously close to admitting to a mistake for even if it's by proxy, and as we all know does not make mistakes

The proper way to play is to use cool mechs and always force hot maps.

But he surprised her, the 'Mech coming through the same buildings she had. First came an almighty crashing and banging, and suddenly there it was, looming up nine times the size of life in a giant cloud of dust and debris. The Wolverine was raising its autocannon-hand even as it appeared.

Cassie stood a moment, gaping in horrified dismay. Then survival reflexes honed sharp by years on the street took over. She dove away from the burst of cannon fire, rolled as fragments whistled over her, then regained her feet and darted over to the mop handle she'd left lying in the gutter.

The weight of the severed power line that had spot-welded itself to the steel-frame head was surprising when she hefted the handle. Since it wasn't spitting sparks at this moment, she had no way of telling whether it was live or not. Well, only one way to find out ...

The monster had turned to track her, still aiming the autocannon. The pilot must have learned that she was too shifty to nail with the laser, but figured that sooner or later the projectile spray would catch her. Or better yet—

With a vast creaking and groaning, the 'Mech raised its right foot, strode forward to crush the insolent little bug. Cassie hefted the mop-handle like a spear, taking care to keep the unshielded cable clear of her. Then she did the last thing in the world a Mech Warrior would expect from a groundpounder caught in the open by a BattleMech: she charged.

Cassie ran into the shadow of the vast upraised foot. As it descended, she screamed and hurled the mop-handle upward and past it, straight at the great round joint of its knee.

With a cascade of sparks, the live power line flash-welded the metal giant's knee joint. Not much, but just enough to lock the joint.

In fighting a larger opponent—which in Cassie's case was just about anybody—she had been taught by Guru Johann to always go for the joints. A lesson that seemed to apply here.

The 'Mech pilot obviously had no idea what this impertinent insect might be up to until his machine tilted forward to put its weight onto a leg that utterly refused to extend to accept it.

The moment she released the mop handle, Cassie dashed away up the block, sprinting thirty yards before spinning to watch the Wolverine topple with majestic slowness into the apartment building. The structure collapsed right down the middle, chunks of cement block splashing like water from the awesome impact. Cassie just stood there flatfooted, gaping.

After a while the catastrophic rumbling and crunching noises subsided. There was silence in the street, except for the rustle and thud of occasional pockets of loose debris falling and random pings as metal cooled.

Cassie was completely stupefied by what she had accomplished. Never had she actually expected to bring the monster down. Instead of being jubilant at her victory, she felt totally at a loss.

No, this is not Asimov-level science fiction, but it's deep, very engaging (why else would we be playing a derivative three decades later?) and most of it is well-written.

It's also not an OmniMech which means it's fully customizable.
