The only reason they didn't solve the problem once and for all is that they looked like absolute dogshit. Here's the rework of the beloved Warhammer, the cover mech on the classic Battletech box.

So this game's tutorial explains nothing beyond 'here is how you click buttons' so I made some dumb mistakes on the first mission and found out that, apparently, Dekker died permanently in like the first 5 minutes. I'm fine with permadeath normally but don't feel like it's really my fault in this case. On the ship after I haven't (yet) found a way to hire replacements. Am I getting shafted or should I soldier on? Apologies if this is answered somewhere else in this 300 page thread.

The game is easy as gently caress anyway.

How do you guys build your free Highlander? Is the default kit good enough or should I pick between SRMs or LRMS rather than one of each?

TBH my Dekker would probably prefer to be dead, then he would be free of the torment of spending three quarters of his life stuck in medbay.

When you arrive at a planet there's the Hiring Hall, which will have up to 8 mechwarriors available for hire. The vast majority will be randomly generated but sometimes you'll run into a kickstarter backer character or one of the dev-made pregen ronin characters At the end of a full campaign, of my original lancemates only Behemoth remains. For a long time I had a Glitch replacement named Dockside, but she ate a boot to the face on one mission near the end.

I found a pilot with the male version of all of Glitch's lines. He's my B-team benchwarmer that gets called up every time Glitch is laid up in medbay, to keep things positive.

Meat is cheap, don't worry about pilot deaths.

Gauss, 3x MLAS, LRM20, SRM6 I think this is the default load out but I can't remember. I definitely took some of the ammo and heat sinks out since it had way too many of both.

Notes from jumping back to a new career. Locusts are so tiny, its almost submerged in water and melee attacks look like a cat trying to bonk stuff with its head  The game loads so fast! augh the repair times

Man, it's lame that on the last mission you don't get any salvage from Victoria's king crab, even if you make the effort to incapacitate her without destroying the mech. I suppose the Atlas II that you get makes up for it, but still, I should gave gotten both.

Anyone else get random freezes were the game just stops responding for 10 to 20 seconds and then continues like nothing happened? It usually happens we attacking another mech or navigating the argo's menu.

What kind of missions (and I guess what ratings) should I take to get a heavy or two? I can finally field all mediums, at least, but I'd like a heavy to throw in the mix.

The game seems to choke up whenever I get enough salvage for a new mech, but things are otherwise fine. I don't know why a little text pop-up with Yang talking about the variant would cause it to happen.Eej posted:Battletech started in 1984 with designs licensed from multiple anime series and also some originals. The Clans were introduced in 1990, presumably after some financial success and they could hire an actual artist to produce 1) art that didn't look like hot garbage 2) thematically consistent mech designs Improbable Lobster posted:The fact that no one ever went "hey lets redesign all this poo poo so it looks halfway consistent" boggles the mind. Hell, the whole "unseen" thing confuses me. Why didn't they make new designs that wouldn't get them sued?
