Battletech is the kinda game that benefits from doing a "i don't know what the gently caress im doing" tutorial playthrough then starting over

Yeah I'm modding the game now. Just going with the mod that shows real hit chances, a tutorial skipper, less head injuries (meaning that getting hit for 3 damage from an MG when your armor is 100% doesn't injure your pilot) and the one that opens up the whole map after getting the Argo. I'm not touching anything balance related. I didn't realize how the character skills worked, or that the Argo had a passive xp module you should build immediately (I lost out on an obscene amount of xp by now) and other poo poo. Like I had intended my PC to be a fire support duder, so I figured oh cool Tactics! Except I got the sensor lock ability, which I don't really want to use on my indirect fire guy, and ended up locking myself out of more useful things. It's not quite as bad as Oblivion where you never wanted to use the skills you actually planned for, but it's close. But now I know.

Yeah I was hesitant to do anything and the modding scene is still very young, but there's a quick and easy way to do it right now. It's not quite Steam Workshop level drag and drop, but it's good enough. The game is extremely, extremely mod friendly under the hood so in a few months poo poo is gonna get crazy.

I just figure that you have a game, play it your way, it is your game, mod big tits on mechs if you want. That probably exists and I don't want to go look for it.

Im ok with like, quality of life and skipping the tutorial poo poo, stuff like that, but people be like "oh yeah i doubled the damage of med lasers and gave them zero heat" or whatever seems a bit much. I mean who cares you make your own fun but it's not me

I train all of my dudes bullwark first, then the first tactic skill, gunnery to 6 or so then get the second tactics skill. Being able to control initiative + bulwark is prolly the best skill combo in the game. edit : ya all i've done is that tutorial skipper. i downloaded a lostech mod that gives a small chance for the base stuff from that one mission to appear but haven't bothered to install it yet. lot of lines to add to files. ded fucked around with this message at 21:07 on May 26, 2018 |

There's a mod that lets you pick custom portraits for your commander with a PNG of your choice so tits on a mech is just a few keystrokes away! I don't bother with mods that don't work with MekTek and BTLM, which is mostly old ones made last month. The new mods that support them are just a JSON file + files you want to add/amend, so you can add/remove mods super easy without keeping track of what files you're modifying. Directly replacing game files is so launch day.

Yeah I'd do lostech poo poo. Idk just messing with weapon values seems like incredibly cheaty to me basically i guess is it. I trust hbs will do good poo poo regardless im in no rush. I have like uhh 200hrs into the game and haven't even finished it. Brilliant game really

Here is a dumb stupid thing. Monster hunter is a good game. There is a game like that called Dauntless that happens to be f2p and recently entered opened beta. The queue to enter are like 90,000 people in front of you, check back whenever. So someone modded the launcher to skip the queue.  All it took is bypass_queue = True

Maybe? I haven't had one. All I know is that it's addressed one of my major gripes about going to a hyperlane only FTL system.

I am doing considerably better despite having worse mechs by quite a bit in my new playthrough. Running a Centurion w/ an AC5 and two SRM6s, a Vindicator, a Shadow Hawk, and a Wolverine. Now that my pilots aren't built horribly and I'm building mechs differently things are pretty good. Hopefully I can break into the Heavy range in a few hours.

Realized that I had the map unlocked so I've been jumping around exploring. Realized I was going hella broke, settled on some rando Restoration world I haven't been at yet. 2.5 skulls! I've only got one heavy but sure! Maximum salvage: 5/22  Game trying to kill me. edit: or it could be a Hunchback, a Shadow Hawk and some tanks. But hey, at least I got 2 Hunchback parts and a DFA damage reducer mod! Vasudus fucked around with this message at 18:11 on May 28, 2018 |

Running Glitch in a Cataphract with two PPC+ (+2 accuracy), jumpjets, max armor, and a boatload of heatsinks. Encounter two pirate Hunchbacks. Do a multishot because the PPC can punch through the lovely armor, target right torso. Glitch yells "two targets, two headshots!" Proceeds to get two headshots.
