Has anyone actually filled up their MechWarrior barracks? I savescum so nobody ever dies but even if I didn't I can't imagine a world where you're hiring 32 mech warriors, even if only because it'd be super expensive!

So there's a pretty big difficulty ramp for me after capturing victoria now I'm trying to take down a lance of mediums and a lance of mediums+heavies regularly. I only have a dragon and a quickdraw. Any victories are really expensive. How can I overcome this? I tend towards 3 brawlers and an lrm support treb. I'm thinking of customizing my shadow hawks to be ppc+lrm and just going for long range direct fire solutions. Samuel L. Hacksaw fucked around with this message at 12:58 on May 10, 2018 |

I think that mission is intended for a lance of Heavies, so it assume you've got heavies. However if you call up the galaxy map locations do show a "usual difficulty" and you could fly towards places where it's lower, perhaps?

Does anyone have an effective loadout for the Shadow Hawk (the base variant, I think Behemoth starts in it)? I keep getting them in salvage. It's a weird mix of hardpoints, and the stock version has a bunch of light-damage weapons for all ranges.

There's a few guys in that backer list that 100% were also Shadowrun backers, unless they're doppelgangers because I recognized those faces almost immediately. Arbiter, Finn, Exodus, a few others.

WhiteHowler posted:Does anyone have an effective loadout for the Shadow Hawk (the base variant, I think Behemoth starts in it)? I keep getting them in salvage. The weirdest hardpoint on the Shadow Hawk, shared by both variants, is the missile launcher in the head. What I would do is try to make it effective at one range, then keep it at that range. For short range, that would be SRMs, medium lasers, and small lasers. The 2D is better at this, since it has more laser hardpoints and more support hardpoints. All SRMs are equal in terms of pure damage per weight, but SRM 4s are the most heat efficient of the SRMs for some reason, and also they're the largest that fits in the Shadow Hawk's face-missile slot. For long range, that would be LRMs and AC/5s. Both have 3 missile hardpoints, though one is limited to a single-slot launcher due to being in the head. The 2H can actually fit two AC/5 thanks to having more ballistics hardpoints, but you're mostly limited by weight anyway, so it depends on how paper-thin you want to make your armor.

Catapults and black knights have made my shadow hawk more or less obsolete but twin AC/5s are really nice for a direct fire supporter. And if that doesn’t work out, go punch someone!

I know it's probably been mentioned over the past 300+ pages, but I'm not seeing anything in the OP. Are there any good mods/mod repositories out there for this game yet? I know it's still early and all, but I've already run through the campaign twice and I'm itching for something different. I'm amazed there isn't a workshop page on steam for this.

They didn't have the money/time for mod tools, so there won't be any official ones, but the game files are pretty easily accessible. BattleTechModLoader had its initial release 6 days ago, so the whole scene is pretty new. If you want extensive mods probably just forget about the game for a year and come back when you can have anime characters piloting your mechs.

I never actually modified my base Hawk, it worked perfectly fine on its own. I made a second use srms and close range weaponry though. The 2D was alright but a little too fragile for me.

I've had almost no trouble salvaging a every medium in the game, a fair mix of heavies, and now I have an assault (story) and 2/3 of two different assaults (procedural missions). What I'm woefully light on is anything beyond a handful of + or ++ weapons. RNG or should I be central coring everyone if I want to scavenge better weapons instead of risking blowing up arms and shoulders?

I always try to cap the legs, you get 2 pieces of salvage and usually the weapons, plus it knocks enemies down and is easier to hit than the head.

 Welp, it had to happen sometime 60+ weeks of the campaign he survived, until some random lance of medium mechs suddenly decided to focus-fire his Griffin down. I've decided to let his death stand, since Glitch and Behemoth punching his killer to death while my commander was keeping their backs free was too good a story to delete by reloading. And right the next mission was a harrowing trap, with medium + heavies confronting me (not having a single mech above 55 tons) on a martian landscape plagued by whirlwinds. Luckily we could surprise the leading Catapult in one edge of the map and later landed a lucky hit on a heavy vehicle with double AC20s, or we would have bought it. The same mission also brought several strikers and a Trebuchet so after fighting the heavy stuff we got constantly pelted by LRMs while hiding in a whirlwind. The extra crazy came from the last mech (a Cicada) hiding behind a stone, forcing us to wander across the map until we found it -that drat NPC never moved an inch! The multiple heavies actually depleted the ammo reserves of two of my mechs! Still, this was the first time I won a fight far above my paygrade, and I got my first long-range support mech (the Trebuchet ended with his pilot incapacitated. Somehow our techs managed to put the smoking ruin back together after the fight) But seriously, did the AI get an upgrade with the latest patch or something? In that super-hard "2 skulls"-mission the AI tried its best to keep together, retreated damaged mechs and rotated fresh ones in. Completely different from the usual "wander straight into enemy kill-zone". Without those whirlwinds protecting us, the mission would have ended quite differently.
