A.o.D. posted:The nova has enough slots that it can flamer fist and fist gently caress, all in the same mech, since it looks like you don't need all that many flamers to keep someone boiling. Yup, the most you'll ever realistically need to make a mech hit 90% in the 4.75s grace period is 6, and 4 will suffice for the vast majority of mechs that aren't assaults carrying 10-13 external doubles.

Also, this is definitely a case for ER Medium lasers, as if you're shooting at a shutdown mech, the burn times don't matter at all. MAXIMUM HATE.

Fil5000 posted:Let's not get started on how terrible you lot are for calling chipped potatoes "fries". It's not called a fish and fries shop, now is it? Well the process of chipping away at something makes a lot more sense in the potato breakdown for a potato chip. And that being said what were we going to call the other thing? jullienes? Better to just call them fries because that's what we're doing to them, frying, and it makes a whole lick of better sense to call shaved chips, chips. Who is going to look at an elongated rectangle and think "that's a physical chip off something?"

ZenVulgarity posted:That's poo poo I figured out when I was 14 and I was on 56k internet. How the gently caress does anyone not know that. So like, the best way to do it was to never say f4. I would go "hit alt and hit f1, f2, f3, and up to change your views." And because it worked alone with earlier F keys people would just go up the chain with alt down not thinking about it. I got five or so ok the other team in one 8man match back in the day.

The new flamers + pubbies equals a lot of suicidal pubbies  . Me and a friend just rolled around with cicadas, pegging laser boats in the rear end, they turn around and try to alpha strike then take a few more steps and...OverridingPubbie has killed OverridingPubbie

Survive until the end of the match and you'll have the best cleanup/kill securing mech around.

Gat Damnnnn!!!!! Just dropped into a pubbie match with my ACH with flamers on Alpine. Another 2 pubbies in light with flamers+ECM teamed up and we looped around and picked off the enemies strung out line one by one. By the time they ran into our main group they were down 5 mechs. It was glorious. Coordinated flamers are loving EVIL. Edit: I just witnessed Clan CW wave of heavy and assault mech get wrecked by a light/med rush with flamers. It was beautiful seeing so many laser boats shut down,start back up, fire and die.

Is there no way to save different loadouts for 1 mech? I don't wanna have to strip it again and start from scratch if i wanna try out a different build every couple of matches.

There is no way to do that beyond buying a copy of the mech and fitting a different loadout on that. It's dumb.

So this happened We were down to our last two mechs, me in a Cheetah and a pubbie in another light, both on the enemy cap. They had 6 or 7 mechs remaining. A machine gun Raven came back to try to stop the cap first and got predictably wrecked, then an executioner showed up and took one of my torsos before we dropped him. Several more came into view and I got picked off. Our last dude is behind the machine thing in the cap where they can't hit him and the cap finishes with that blue mech in the pic literally one step away from breaking the cap and the rest of the team converging on him too

Riflemen are a goddamn blast to play. RFL-3C I need to test this one, I was using the AC-10 version with the XL, but it was too fragile. RFL-3N This is a murdermachine. The six mediums are a hilarious surprise for the inevitable light that comes to charge into your backside. RFL-5D I was worried about the heat on this, but all I needed to do was be more patient. I murdered about six pubbies last night with 50 damage alpha strikes and ducked back into cover.

You could do better with LPL. I run mine with dual LPL and quad MPL. I've noticed that my STs never get hit, I've been cored 4 out of 5 deaths. The nose/cockpit area is the major fallacy with this mech. Oh and the tonnage.

I still dont get why this is the only non-missile weapon in the game with minimum range. It would make a ton more sense if the ER-version traded extra range for a minimum range instead of shorter range AND minimum range on the PPC with same weight and slots...

to be fair thats on FASA. I don't know how this whole mythology around PPCs being useless inside their minimum range has popped up when in the tabletop, the worst you're dealing with is equivalent to the medium range penalty. The AC/5 has the same minimum range.
