I don't know why it took me this long to out this together, but does tabletop not use miniatures? I always assumed there were minis, but I just realized I haven't ever seen any.

Big Beef City posted:Anime was never cool bro Anime forgives you for your wrong bad opinions For real though is there a specific term to refer to the "basically a gun platform on a 4-legged mobile tripod" style of design for this kind of thing? I much prefer it to the "we put legs and guns on a box lorry" look.

I have one new wish: I'd like to be able to move mechs around the various positions in the bays without having to move them to storage. My broken brain just wants the tonnage numbers to be ordered right.

The official minis are here http://ironwindmetals.com/store/index.php?cPath=16 and have a wide range of quality.

I'm pretty sure if you don't put dual AC20s on a King Crab some guys show up at your house to have a talk with you. edit: that's secondhand knowledge because I would never think of not putting dual AC20s on a King Crab

Am I just not supposed to be able to get missions in Taurian Concordant space? I'm at the point where I have heavy mechs and yet all of the missions are basically "LOL NOPE NOBODY LIKES YOU GO". Kind of sucks since those systems have all the good stuff.

Got a grasshopper and strapped it full of MGs and lasers and charge into battle. It kills stuff real good until I inevitably overextend and get loving creamed while my more sensible mechs haul the remains back to the drop ship. Maybe I need a more reasonable load out and tactic.

Depending on where you are in the story, not being allowed in Taurian space makes sense. All the regions open up post game.

sandoz posted:if your armor is maxed and you are using vigilance constantly you shouldn't have too many problems with it I think my issue was I forgot to pop vigilance at the worst possible time. I got bruised up in one mission using vigilance. When I forgot to use it as the reinforcements jumped me, it was a one way ticket to hosing rookie guts out of the cockpit and replacing a lot of limbs and systems.

InAndOutBrennan posted:Scan My time was more spent spamming .n and changing headings by single degrees - but I was an idiot reconner and died more to walls than weaponsfire. Not sure how many people play anymore. Nearly all of the MUXes are gone now, I know that, but it's hard to tell populations since all of them have WHO shut off so there's no way to know how many people are playing without going to play.
