Companies. Suing companies. That sure sounds applicable when discussing modding. Not to mention that the City of Heroes lawsuit went nowhere and got settled out of court without anything changing for CoH.

Was there any public resolution on that Harmony Gold suit, or do they still claim all forms of walking tanks in all forms?

HG maintains their various claims, but their lawsuit against Harebrained was dropped and their suit against PGI was resolved without changing anything anyone can tell.

They also lost the lawsuit with the owners of the Macross IP, and will be losing their rights in toto come 2021.

It seems loading a pre-mission autosave in Career mode doesn't let you go into the mission, forcing you to cancel the contract and take the rep hit. So, uh, be careful with that if you're ever one contract away from bankruptcy as it was my case (there were no other contracts available within 30 days of travel)

Yeah, I could sell a Panther and a few lasers. Didn't think of that  Unrelated but is there any way to know where contracts are available in the star map? I've went to different planets and I can't seem to find a contract.I even started a new Career run and I don't have any missions available either, which I don't know if it's possible?

Is there any way to do a Career mode without a dumb arbitrary countdown timer? I just want to wander around the map doing random poo poo and I cant do that with a countdown timer staring me in the face on every screen. edit: I and I realize now that I also wish I didnt have a macguffin ship to fly around in but wanting to ditch that leads to mods. Also, did they change how rep hits work? I did maybe 5 contracts in a Career Mode game and that was enough to get the Capella Confederation to hate my guts, which seems a bit....extreme?

Do you know what happens when the timer runs out? absolutely nothing Honestly, you're probably going to say "eh, I'm bored of smashing assault mechs into each other, time for a new game so I can go back to lights and mediums" long before the timer runs out.

Jabor posted:Do you know what happens when the timer runs out?  Does the Career mode ramp up to the point where only assault missions are available? Well, I guess it has to otherwise why doesnt career mode have contracts of every skull type floating around? I really really wish they would have had the skulls actually mean something concrete rather than a ballpark "maybe its this tough"? My desire to play this game suffers death by 1000 cuts because so many little nagging things that shouldnt be problems/should be easy to fix/seem like an obvious problem that should have been fixed by now.

If you go to lower skull planets in career mode you'll still get .5 to 2.5 skull missions full of lights and mediums to curbstomp.

No, you do get contracts of every rating (subject to base planet difficulty), it's just that once you're rocking a full or nearly full assault lance the only reason to do less than 5 skulls is because you want a cakewalk.

Gravity Cant Apple posted:Last night I went from having no assaults to getting the Highlander from the story mission, killing the pilot of the Battlemaster in said mission and then headshotting a King Crab in my next contract. What's the best way to kit these bad boys out? Highlander 732B - The stock loadout is actually great. Just add a cockpit mod and gyro. Otherwise only things to upgrade on it are the ML/LRM/SRM to +++ versions. King Crab - Basically anything works great on it because it has so much free tonnage *and* better hardpoints than an Atlas. I always have more fun with my 2x AC20 builds using either the +4 accuracy variants or a ballistic TTS +3 to get the most hits in its limited range. Remember that doing less damage on paper doesn't matter if your called shots core or decapitate everything instantly. I lucked into a Gauss Rifle+ and made one with that and an AC20+++ that was huge fun too. Or just use a bunch of LRMs and lasers. Or 2 smaller ACs with a mix of other poo poo. Sometimes I bump up the armor a bit to match the Highlander. Battlemaster - It has the same free tonnage as an Orion but with worse initiative, so I've never been a huge fan. The most fun I had with it was to max out the front armor and fill it with arm mods and SL/ML/SRM/MG and just have it run/jump at people and punch them so they explode instantly. It is DEFINITELY better at that than an Orion.

I put a bunch of lostech on my Atlas for the hell of it because it's just inferior to the trio of Crabs I have and while it's not as good on paper, and overheats instantly outside of the arctic, it's really funny watching it trundle up in phase 3 (master tac and Cyclops so good) and erase a heavy I also have a Highlander 733P but I couldn't think of anything better to do with it than load up with MLs, SRMs, and jump jets.

Maybe the most fun thing I ever came up with was taking an Orion K and loading it with a Gauss Rifle+ and double heat sinks and JJ and +++ everything else. Nothing like having an "scout" for your 3 assaults that regularly just blows heads off as it jumps all over the place.

I don't find the guass rifle to be an effective head capper post-expansion. Sure, it can do it on paper, but the AI can effectively use bulwark now and it spends a lot of time in trees anyways. Far, far more often I'll see a head shot with a gauss that strips the armor and leaves a few internal left. Not saying it's a bad weapon, and frankly I kind of like the AC20 being the only guaranteed head killer.

Yeah, i feel like maybe something like an evasion bonus on top of the evasion pips for lights and mediums could be good if they face heavies and assaults so they can be actually viable in late-game instead of being literally useless and dead in a turn or two.

Free Weekend! (Also I would like to try this game, but it crashes instead of launching. Drivers all say they are updated, pretty sure I exceed the min. specs. Already tried verifying once, trying again now. Any advice?)

I'm sure this has been talked about, but this just went on sale so I'm dropping by to ask: can anyone remark on whether or not the writing is good? I loved Shadowrun: Dragonfall and Shadowrun: Hong Kong specifically because I liked the writing, and apparently the same guy was in charge of those and Battletech, so I'm hoping there are some good character stories or settings or whatever in here.

It's fine to great, but there isn't a lot of it like in Shadowrun. It's just not an RPG. The plot's mostly there to move you between missions.
