It's less about removing the large laser and replacing it with a PPC than it is about making sure the drivers still work properly

JacksLibido posted:How is your lance built? I did panzyr with a 20/15/10/LRM 1mlas cent, a stock AC20 hunchback, the original shadow hawk that I put 2xSRM6 1xSRM4 1mlas, and a 3xSRM6 1mlas wolverine. The srm carriers all had max front chest armor and bulwark so I’d just sprint them to the bottom of the ramp and tank for days. The HBK did work on heavy dudes, but SRMs are king of the low weight classes. So far I'm using a BJ with 2 AC/5s, Vindicator which is mostly stock but upgraded parts and removed a bit to uparmor it, a Centurion which is barfing missiles everywhere, and a Shadowhawk I switched to close range combat. I'm jumping them around trying to flank or take advantage of openings but it's not really working. Maybe I'll switch to SRMs on the Centurion to help out the Shadowhawk, and definitely retire the BJ once I get anything else. quote:this is the question we probably should have asked earlier, i can't think of a single mission where i've been outnumbered by heavier mechs but if he's piloting his initial four mechs on two skulls i think i can see where it might get a little tricky It's a lot of starter stuff yeah, I just haven't gotten the salvage to piece more together. The 10v4s are just always going to withdraw or reload though.  I'm pretty comfortable sticking to 1.5 skulls max until I get a heavy or two now though. I can fairly consistently handle that until the reinforcements instant spawn. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Apr 29, 2018 |

As early as mechwarrior 2 refits were pretty much instantaneous. The absurd amount of time wasted waiting for stuff is a developer conspiracy to pad the game's length imo

Hmm, the difficulty spikes in the story line missions sure are unpredictable. Some is like, really drat easy, and could be done with a mixed medium/heavy lance (this mission happens at a time where you have access to assaults), the one right after that implies that you should take a mobile lance, given that it is a recovery mission, but in reality you should pick the heaviest stuff you got. The final parts invovles a medium/heavy and a light lance running at you, in a space where they have cover and you have literally no room to maneuver because you must stick all your mans to a very small area. This fight also happens after you dealt with a lot of other stuff first, so you are probably suffering from fairly sandpapererd armor and low ammo stores.

What in the gently caress does all the extra tonnage go to in the banshee-3m? it's 10 tons heavier than my stalked but it can't fit nearly as many weapons and the armor seems to be comparable.

It's faster. In TT and other games they make it clear that it has a huge engine taking all that space, but there's no such indicator here.

Just had a great 2.5 skull base attack. First mission after getting the Argo went riiiight round the edge of the map, sniped turents baited enemy Mechs into my line of fire. Firestartered one down constant heat based hell and cored the rest with keen efficiency. Then had my main character get landed on by the drop ship and spent 90 days in the medbay  The Skeleton King posted:Only reason I want clans in the future is so I can have the Vulture back.

I still have no idea how I managed to pick up a new Gauss Rifle on my travels. In fact I have no idea how to acquire any Star League tech at all, even when visiting planets that ostensibly have some of it lying around. I'd also love to see a 6 skull difficulty mission, since with tricked out mechs there really isn't much of a challenge to the endgame.

Galaga Galaxian posted:IIRC I saw someone mention you're given one for finishing the story? The rifle? Oh. Then I guess there really is no real way to find proper Star League tech outside of the story missions. Makes sense I suppose, but a bit of a letdown, since that means I really have nowhere to go now. Aside from maxing out reputation with factions.

You could probably get through it quickly if you avoided much outside of the story missions. I've been playing for about 40 hours and haven't finished, but I've done a serious amount of loving around with random missions.

Well, that's certainly a lot of fuckin ammo  E: Yeah, maybe like spread those across the legs and poo poo. I learned that lesson when my Shadowhawk lost the torso side with it's AC/5, where I had, for some unknown reason, also stashed it's SRM bin. He got to spend the rest of the mission as a sensor lock bitch.
