I juuuuust started playing this. Are any of the talent choices/trees trap options? With only 3 per pilot and no respecs, I don't want to get stuck with terrible choices.

"NotifLowFundsQtrRemainThreshold": 2, "NotifDangerLowFundsQtrRemainThreshold": 1, You shouldn't really have much of a money problem unless you're just tooling around doing salvage heavy contracts before getting the Argo at all. Story missions pay a ton, and usually 2-3 max money missions will give you a quite large buffer.

So it's a big investment for the only skill with no apparent application when fighting enemy assault mechs, because you can't reduce something's initiative below 1  That said, has anyone that's taken Juggernaut tried it on assaults? Does it bump them down the list of who goes next within a phase at least?

Never scrap mechs, only sell them to planets as they scrap out for less. This is kinda bullshit in the tyranny of clicks/UI flow way but its easy to change the sell and scrap ratios both.

Section Z posted:The only skill almost everyone agrees with is not good is Guts #8, Juggernaut. Punching somebody pushes back them back into a lower initiative phase, but it is explicitly not allowed to push things lower than 1... The assault mech phase. I've used Juggernaut on assaults and I don't think it does anything. Who goes when within a given phase is a choice and while it's hard to tell, I don't think Juggernaut tells the AI "Don't activate this guy". The closest I could get to a real test was using it on a downed mech, since the AI will always activate knocked down guys first. Didn't change anything.

I did some of the modding to the file that affects the time delay between actions, and now all my actions have like a 10 second delay at the end. Anyone know what/where the variable I have to change is?

there's a couple of fields in combatgameconstants.json which might be interesting to think about in terms of sensor lock buffs: "SensorLockCountersGuarded": false, "SensorLockCountersEvasive": false, trading one pilot's attack round to remove guarded from someone? could be worth it.

Does the story eventually take you to the different faction territories or do you just need to grind reputation points doing missions for them in the starting zone?

Yeah, I think I've found my niche. MultiTarget/Bulwark/Breaching Shot for 1-2 Mechs who carry my biggest guns. gently caress up their entire team at once with a single spread, and stand in sight while doing it. MultiTarget/Evasive Maneuvers/Ace Pilot for the other 2-3 Mechs who are my basic line. Watching an Assault hit 6 Evasion through Jumpjets, land, Bulwark up, next turn fire another shot then Jumpjet away for another 6 Evasion is hilarious. Nothing ever hits my Heavies/Assaults as they gracefully hop around the battlefield like dumbass frogs while my big gun dudes just stand in place and gently caress EVERYONE UP with Breaching Shots.

This is probably a dumb question but how do I get Steam to sync the local saves to the cloud instead of the other way around? I keep deleting the old saves locally to help with load times and Steam keeps putting them back. I'd rather leave the cloud sync on though. e: Also the Wolverine variant with the large laser is working way better for me than the AC variant. I gave it gyros, a LL+, and jumpjets at the cost of 100 missiles (seriously when will I ever fire 200 srms off in one mission with it) and it's cleaning house. I have two Wolvies, 3 Hawks, and I'm constantly rotating lights and mediums into the trash. I could probably do Smithn easy now but eh RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 04:56 on May 4, 2018 |

Do story missions when they're available until you complete Prison Break, then slow it down because the difficulty begins to ramp up and you'll want better mechs, which you'll need to get through salvage. The Spider mech isn't going to be terribly useful but it is fast and it can stomp on vehicles as well as any other mech. The Locust variant you start with is probably the worst mech in the battletech universe and is definitely the worst in the game, so you won't get much use out of it.

I'm getting a surprising number of kills with it by reserving it to move last in most fights so it can pick the most vulnerable enemy, shoot it while it's downed or jump to hit the rear armor / exposed sides, then get out in the next initiative phase. It's also pretty good at taking out building/generator objectives for story missions (even if it fails to destroy the target you'll have it sighted for LRMs).

The Spider's incredible movement (use those jump jets) can be pretty drat useful, but it's not the easiest thing to get the most out of, especially when you're new. Reserving it down so you can move it twice in a row, great. Jumping to flank and build up a ton of evasion pips so it lives, great. Spotting for an LRM boat, great. Trying a standup fight, baaaaaaaaaad. I think you'll need to do about three story missions until you're not stuck with the Leopard, then do anything you want at any pace you want. Doing story missions raises the global modifier so things get a bit tougher, just know that and do those when you want.

Yeah main reason why I've been avoiding even my first story mission so far is to build up some cash reserve so I can max out my morale early via extra monthly payment.

Any reliable tips on how to headshot a 'mech? And how are to-hit chances calculated? If I have a 95% chance of hitting a dude with a called shot to the head, and the game shows me as having a 16% chance to hit the head, how does that work out? 95% chance to hit the mech and 16% for those shots to hit the head?

If you have a firestarter with master called shot mastery you can also just jump in and mince the pilot with machine guns, I think its like 70% chance that each MG hits the head
