I'm running two ON1-Vs one with 2x ML, 1x AC20 and 1x SRM6 and the other is 2x LLs, 1x SRM6 and 1x SRM4 both with maxed armour and maybe 75 on back CT and 55 on RT and Lt. They do alright but it makes me laugh and cry that this is the poo poo they more or less ran up against Timber Wolves with. Helm Memory Core upgrades not withstanding.

All the main characters are of mixed descent, and the asian mechbay engineer is actually half Finnish (I guess it was too much for them to include ONE Russian in the game). However, seeing how the media is treating Russians I am bracing for the clanner DLC where everyone is a disfigured, scarred pilot who eats puppies.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Why does your shadowhawk have the ammo in the opposite side torsos? That means if you lose a side torso, one side's weapon is destroyed, and the ammo for the weapon the other side is also destroyed, meaning you effectively lose both side torso weapons. Yeah, my only comment was going to be your ammo placement. Generally I put ammo in the legs and also put jumpjets and heatsinks with it. That way they have a chance to absorb a crit instead of the ammo.

I like how prison break is arguably easier than the moon mission. That's definitely a refinable issue as well as seen in this thread, the wonky slider for difficulty in missions.

Man I've got like 20 hours in this game already and I've seen a total of two assault mechs, one each of a Victor and a King Crab (the Crab killed my team and I had to reload and pick a different contract). A pair of Orions are pretty effective against the crowds of 60-70 ton dudes I'm running into at the moment

RIP Dekker, died on literally the first round of fire on one of the easiest missions I'd done for the past 5 hours or so, my lance of 3 heavies and a centurion vs 3 mediums. Their vindicator and a centurion both managed to score HS on him with consecutive shots when he had 5 evasive chevrons

I also want more maps, from modding or otherwise. I just had a very distinctive repeat (it's the one with the big tundra cliff, and the assassination / whatever target spawned at the bottom both times).

Just bought this game and it keeps getting stuck on a seemingly infinite loading screen right before the first mission. It says "Coronation Day - Date blah blah blah" fades out, and then goes to a loading screen that never ends. Is there something I can do to fix this or do I just have to wait for a patch and hope it sorts itself out?

The game can really keep you on your toes, sometimes you get warnings about your dropweight not being good enough, only to find the enemy consists of garbage tanks and garbage mechs, Other times it's two lances of enforcers and firestarters

I am legitimately awed at the depth of variety in this videogame. I have done 30+ missions, and have yet to run into one where conditions repeated. Also, the amount of meaningful details in briefings is legitimately mind blowing (at least for me)

Is there a way to just walk backwards while still facing the same direction? I've seen the animation for it but they always turn around at the end. Also, holy crap I didn't realize that ammo could explode. I've been putting my ammo in the torso (and sometimes the head!!).

I'm playing through with the stock designs and only refiting mechs that have parts missing such as the one you get early on. I played TT BT from 1989 till 2000 so doing it this way makes it more like the weekend chapter battles we had where custom mechs were virtually unheard of. Hopefully the campaign wasn't balanced with refits in mind or the late game might get out of hand.

They can be brutal, I found the pilot skills and a decent weapon like an ac20 and ppc critical. Concentrating fire, eroding evade then finishing a mech. Also trying the mission a different way, like killing reinforcements first instead of tackling the main objectives. If the main objectives a tough enemy Lance you may still be able to get away with it.

So after the novelty has somewhat worn off, here's where I'm at now: Not enough contracts are available at a given time, and I can't figure out how to make new ones appear. I'm not sure I want to see a single mission over 2 skulls, because right now those involve LRM carriers vomiting missiles into me, PILOT INJURY, PILOT INJURY, PILOT INJURY, and then if I even dare get close to them, their SRM carrier friend just vomits MORE loving missiles into me and if I'm not dead to pilot injury, I'm now knocked down with half my mech missing. This isn't a difficulty curve, it's a goddamn wall.

Phi230 posted:I must suck at this game because 2/3 skull missions are chewing me up to the point where I'm weeks in refit and losing money The skulls are more of a guideline than a rule. Sometimes they're easier, sometimes tougher than they indicate. Assassinate missions are almost always harder than they indicate, for example. Rascyc posted:"save all the crates for some bonus cash!"

The game does a really bad job of pointing it out but you can just drive around space where ever you like instead of following the next out of town contract. Do it if you don't like your current batch!

Holy poo poo DO NOT LET OPFOR KNOCK YOU OVER. I was doing okay, then my Commander's Captapult got tipped over and the enemy reinforcement lance came over the hill at the same time. Every single enemy went to town on her so now she's out for like 100 days and I have a loving hell of a reapir bill. Was lucky I managed to pull off a Good Faith Withdrawal.

Things I learned in this .5 skull baby difficulty mission: 1. Sensor lock scouts are great until 2. enemy sensor lock scouts show up with 3. PPCs and who 4. Don't give a poo poo how much evasion and cover you have, because it is a 5. One shot kill on your little piece of poo poo and 6. You won't break the PPC before it one shot kills you RIP Dekker, you were useful until the game showed me you were not and it was just luck you did anything of value. Now I have to wait literally 40 days to have enough mechs to play the game again. Good thing I took the money option.
