I think you can get a SLDF mech with ECM through the black market if you're patient too, can't you? The one added in the final patch?

Wait there's an SLDF mech with ECM? I thought ECM was only on the Raven and Cataphract unless you found the standalone unit.

The Royal Griffin is supposed to have ECM according to Sarna, but unfortunately it wasn't updated in BT when the DLC came out.

The Royal Griffin doesn't really need any more buffs, let alone a 1.5 ton ECM suite.

I do play with mods lol but I could've sworn at least one of the dozen or so SLDF mech variants HBS put in last update had it on there. :shrug:

E: oh maybe it's the Not SLDF Cataphract yeah. Is that locked behind the one fp as well?

The base game did alright I think, but the DLC not as much, hence them being bought up. But I may be misremembering.

Not empty quoting. Also enjoying your LP so far. Also headshooting everything with called shots is basically how lategame plays out usually. I used to have a grasshopper loaded with small and medium lasers, jump point blank onto an enemy and called shot their head which instakills them half the time.

I want to see you break this game, then break it some more. :getin:

I am faaaairly certain there is no need for THAT much ammo, 6 tons for each set of guns

I use 6 tons total for a 2x uac/20 wielding kgc, have never run out even in an extended mission vs 20 enemy mechs.

I mean, I've seen plenty of people complain about opponents' Magic (or other trading card games) decks or about the strategy of their opponent in basically any game as they're losing. I'd honestly be more surprised if this didn't happen decently often

Grousing is one of the only approved Clan passtimes. But since they're not allowed to critique the leadership, they're clearly only allowed to bitch about each others' builds.
