The only mechwarrior I've fired is Homunculus and that's only because low spirits bugged out on him and there's no room for moviesads on my spaceship.

Hahah, turns out when you sell off three hundred heat sinks at once they start to add up hello 5 million achievement edit: I think i prefer the Atlas to the King Crab just because it keeps its weapons in the torso.

Hello beautiful! Finished the final mission with my King Crab and collection of 3 different highlanders(There can be only one ... letter difference in designations). Fun game, can't wait for whatever they put out next.

Anyone mind sharing some Orion builds? I'm struggling to fit mine out, I think I've gone for an AC20 and some LRMs for now and it sits hiding at the back sniping people being an obnoxious shitbag, but it feels like a waste of its armour.

AC 20 and srm 6's in the torso, up armor everything but the arms which are disposable, heat sinks and jjs to taste. You won't get a better brawler till the atlas or king crab.

I always feel the need to fill every weapon slot and sometimes end up under-gunning my mechs, I need to break that habit.

Looks like a huge waste to combine AC20 and LRM, refit to have AC20 with as many SRMs, med lasers, and armor as you can and charge into the thick of battle, that's what orions are best at.

40 Proof Listerine posted:Any tips on juggling multiple lances in a Battle procgen mid-game when your average drop weight is ~200 tons? My advice: Run 2 LRM boats, 2 brawlers. Everybody should have stability damage. Move forward until you see the first red contact, then immediately halt and brace or start to reserve your units. When the first guy walks into visual range, everyone who's been reserving just unloads on him. Use your called shots to core the CT's out of med/lights with your brawlers, or use with your missile boats to open up legs/st's for pilot damage if you need to capture a heavy. This usually kills 1 mech/turn, increasing as you add more AC20's to your brawl group. It is almost never the case that more than one or two mechs will show up in visual range per turn, in my experience. Yes you'll end up taking some long range LRM fire while one enemy mech spots for the others, but as soon as he's dead everyone is going to be shuffling forward to your guns again. In the nightmare scenario you describe up above, where all 4 of the original lance and all 4 of the reinforcements are squaring off with you at the same time, my advice would be to turn and run. Use JJ's or sprinting to open as much ground as possible and break line of sight, so they begin to shuffle forward and string out. Alternately if they're strung out in a big long line, run towards one end of it so you can engage that side while denying fire from the other. Failing that, withdraw- you will not come out well in a shootout if all you do is stand still and trade with twice your weight. That's the AI's strategy.

Bastards; I call that a happy ending.

 Dekker was dismissed for the douchiest guy available.  On the same day Glitch was sent away, Ronin is so very special I can't screenshot her backstory. Bonus:  Spenthia has the same voice as Glitch.

I use the AC-20, three MLs, and then fill up armor, jump jets, and heat sinks. Works great since the AC-20 basically does all the work while the medium lasers let me do precision work. I really should start putting more emphasis on finding accuracy/critical hit ones. Two Orions and two LRM boats works really well for me. The approach is pretty simple: 1. Hit enemy with two LRM shots, knocking them down and injuring pilot. 2. Blow off side torso to get pilot injury. 3. Repeat. Two turns and the target is incapacitated.

Might give us a reason to actually have hireable mechwarriors and 18 mech bays. Point me to where the fun and engaging settings are. Are there mods to up the enemy numbers in missions?

AC/20, 2SRM6, 2MLas. I keep it up front along with an assault. It runs a little hot and I should probably drop the lasers for more heat sinks, but it will kill a Thunderbolt in one called shot, and knock down most other things if paired with a lrmboat. It tends to draw a lot of fire, being the lightest thing on my team in late game, but it's extremely tough and by the time its armor is gone we're usually hunting the last couple of mechs down.

Is it just me, or is Outrider (Pilot major, Guts minor) a very redundant combo? If an ace pilot shoots without moving, then they can brace, which gives the same bonus as the Guts minor plus some with no stacking if my understanding is correct, or move behind something and probably not get shot at in the first place. I know, the optimal combo is Gunnery major Guts minor, but I like being able to scoot after shooting.

BurntCornMuffin posted:Stomp harder. I think it depends on your approach. Personally I really like Guts Minor Tactical Major, since the majority of damage seems to be from called shots and getting ahead of your opponent before knocking them down is pretty powerful. Especially when you can combine it with reserves to go twice before they do.

The stars aligned and a tiny little NPC allied tank got a called headshot on a Battlemaster, so now I own a brand new 85-tonner I absolutely don't deserve to have. I'm mainly gonna use it as is I think. Speaking of heavies though what's the next step up from a Trebuchet for LRMs? The Catapult? Also I've gotten into the lore (or at least the wiki) and errrr give it to me straight guys, were the original battletech tabletop developers real big weebs? Because some of this stuff seems to swing wildly between Honourable Perfect Orient and Devilish Yellow Peril. Sometimes in the same paragraph.

This is my Dekker chariot (also a scout):  Still finding better +dmg lasers but sitting at 370 alpha, which is plenty to buttshot or even frontal CT core most anything. But really, the best part is the +3 hit def gyro. With 1200 armor and a scout/ace pilot pulling 5 evasion pips off of jumps every round, this thing ends up doing more tanking work while taking less damage than my fat king crab on most missions.

BurntCornMuffin posted:I know, the optimal combo is Gunnery major Guts minor, but I like being able to scoot after shooting. Major Tactics is probably the best ability in the game and by a huge margin. Not only is it better as you level, because called shot mastery is the single biggest increase in your ability to core you can get from any source, but once you start trucking around with 4x Heavies or Assault, being able to shed stability damage without using an action is huge. If I was redoing my run, I'd have Master Tactician on all my pilots, and Minor Gunnery on LRM pilots and Bulwark on frontliners. As you hit mid to late game, relying on evasion for damage mitigation is silly. And Bulwark has the advantage of protecting you against having your head shot out by a lucky AC20 hit. And this doesn't even get into how huge +1 initiative is at all weights.
