I knew Yang was a good mechanic, but this might be a tiny bit too good.  Edit: currently validating the games files through Steam, otherwise I have no idea why or how that happened. Anyone know how to fix it? Double Edit: All files validated successfully. I haven't changed a thing/added any mods, I think I found a bit of a bug here.

That mission with the APCs (you know the one) needs chance for motive system damage and crew stunned.

I had to redo the first non-tutorial mission 5 times because each time the LRMs from the turrets injured at least 3 of my pilots and usually killed one.  I need to give all of my mechs nice helmets or something.

Are light mechs still useful later in the game? I got a panther and a griffin now and I'm thinking about subbing one in for the spider/locust. Being able to scout around a little doesn't seem as helpful as having something than can do more than 30 damage a turn.

Light mechs are not very useful in late game no. Evasion only really helps them when the enemy isn't consisting of weapon boats.

I was holding out hope that there would be missions that force you to use all light mechs.

Hmmm.... a 2.5 skull contract? and the pay off is close to 1.5 million c-bills?Yeah, I can't see how that would go comically wrong. Edit: a SRM Carrier, a Shreck PPC Carrier, a LRM Carrier, a Spider, a Wolverine and a Hunchback. Yeah, going full salvage on this one was a mistake.

Finally saw an Orion and unluckily cored it when it had 3 pilot injuries. Sad. Also opfor has been hitting heads like candy, multiple people maxed out on injuries for me at the moment.

The_Angry_Turtle posted:I was holding out hope that there would be missions that force you to use all light mechs. The story missions play much better with at least one light or fast medium until the very last one, typically. Random contracts, not so much. I think mostly because the encounter types that would favor speed didn't get enough testing to go in the game on release going by the latest comments on that AMA a day or so ago.

Being able to scout around a little doesn't seem as helpful as having something than can do more than 30 damage a turn. I'm in midgame, but I've observed that: An MG FS with an Ace Pilot major, Tactics minor makes for a wonderful finisher/backstabber and passable light/vehicle hunter with abuse of reserving. A Jenner-D can also backstab well and for a wee bit more damage, but isn't nearly as effective since the mass MG can at least cripple fairly reliably if it doesn't kill. Even without a backstab opening, it can spot for LRMs and help mitigate problems where the bulk of your mech are out of position to deal with surprises. The rest are hot garbage.

I'm thinking of starting a new campaign and replacing the blackjack with a black knight since i only saw one the entire campaign and now everything is assault country. How would i go about doing this, or just making it so they can show up in my finished one.

What I initially tried to do was move the Spider up the south side of the map to shoot out the turret generator and park the other 3 in the middle to bait out their mechs. What actually happened is that they'd sensor lock the spider in the first turn and rain down missiles before it could even get in firing range. Assuming it survived the first barrage it still couldn't do enough damage to the generator to knock it out in less than 3 turns even with help from LRMs. So it would get either die or get crippling damage. Meanwhile the other 3 would be standing in the middle getting pecked at and with the dumb way head shots work they'd usually take injuries. The solution was to just leave everyone back in the allied base and send the Blackjack up alone to shoot the generator since it could do it in one turn then sprint it back.
