Yeah, for a culture so preoccupied with honor dueling the Clans really seem dismissive of the sweet science of robocuffs. I imagine it ties into the whole lore thing of not wastefully mashing up their own mechs or something. Finally getting home tomorrow and eager to dive into this game seriously.

Sonderval posted:Think my game might be a bit broken ish, applied the milestone change, did the second Smithson mission, now every planet is one or less skulls? Following up on this: did you install the milestone change in the middle of your save? In particular, did you install it after having completed Axylus or Panzyr? The guy writing the milestone change initially said that it didn't reverse milestone difficulty boosts that had already occurred, but this is only half true and has since been corrected. It doesn't reverse them when you install the mod, but it DOES reverse them when you hit a milestone where the vanilla game would have boosted difficulty - so if you installed the mod in the middle of a campaign where a vanilla difficulty boost had already occurred, the next milestone will drop your difficulty down to the baseline intended by the milestone mod.

That's the reason for a lot of Clanner weirdness. Either that or someone DFAed his buddy or something. If the Clanners forbid something weird for no reason, it's because Nicky K personally disliked it.

Yeah but that still has about as much agility as a tank built in the 70s because nerds think that futuristic technology that moves like they do is cool.

I hired a new pilot to replace my dead Dekkar because I'm pretty sure he used the same VA. Or at least, one that was similar. Anyway, one guess as to what happened to him.

A lot of the Mechwarrior 4 models were actually pretty good in terms of look and feel. Really captures the "hundred ton weapons platform" aesthetic.

Finally lost Dekker. Was liberating the prison and suddenly everyone decided that it was time to focus fire him. I got a full Jagermech out of the salvage. But then my game crashed loading the post-mission reports and didn't save anything so I guess it didn't count?

FlyingCowOfDoom posted:I loaded up a save and killed my target and guards and no objectives in the top left or evac zone. I know this one is hosed, but has anyone seen this and does it mean my save of the mission is hosed or is it just this round cause it didnt trigger something? I've had this happen on assassinate missions when I kill the target before he gets the chance to run. Reloading a save from before the target died was the only way to fix it without withdrawing.

I'm thinking of restarting and not using Bulwark. It makes the game both too easy and painfully static. I'm not sure how viable this would be, anyone else try it?

I just finished the prison break and got my first heavy mech (probably replacing my Vindicator. My other 3 are centurian, blackjack, shadow). I've just been using a lot of missiles, also because I didn't know that each pilot is limited to two master skills so uh...I have double Sensor Lock. Whoops. I want to try and use AC sniper guns, but they're just so heavy. An AC10 weighs like 12 tons, when I can fit like 3 times as many lasers or missiles on that. Am I just supposed to spartan my armor to nil to equip that?

ACs are heavy, but they also don't need many heatsinks and are great for giving you some offensive power while riding the heat redline. Also an AC/10+ with a damage boost will reach headcapping levels even against fully armored mechs. Generally though, you're rarely going to have more than one AC/10+ though and rarely more than one or two AC/2s or AC/5s.

I still dislike how squat mwo's Atlas is in comparison to previous iterations. Both Mechwarrior 3 and 4 did a good job at combining classic Battletech 80's aesthetic with "stompy walking tank" , whereas a lot of the newer models seem overly busy, sometimes reminding me of 343's Halo art style at times.

Split targetting and shoot then scoot tactics works great for me. I stil haven't seen a single assault though. I got a Grasshopper, loads of Orions, Quickdraws, Jaegers and so on but only ever vehicles over 80 tonnes. I wa sure hitting a 4 skull mission would get me something but nope. At least I have a nice heavy lance now and got some good mods (cockpit ++ health - yay).

The Catapult, Mad Cat and the TIE Fighter all take their cockpit design from the nose gunner section of a B-17/B-24/B-26 so that's why they all look like a space ship.

So the game is telling me that the next mission, Coromodir, is a point of no return and I feel like I'm getting near the end of the campaign after 40-50hrs. Is this actually the last mission? If not, am I close? And if so, can I keep playing merc missions after I've beaten the campaign?
