There's an Argo upgrade that lets you use parts of different models of the same mech together. We should prioritize that, so it can be our monster. That royal Pixie too.

drat good point there!

If you check the Firestarter's quirks in the mechbay I think that lists "arm weapons can be crit through armour"

Well, if I really HAVE to shoot you in the bollocks to shut you up, then I guess I'll need to, post-haste, for everyone else's sake.
Catching up a bit ... Not losing a duel to some poncy Stinger, no sir :clint:
It's also nice(!) to see ComStar remain hideously dangerous.

More mech combat as I search for the elusive third medium mech - and this one has another grueling fight. 


We also have a boatload of XP to spend!

That Saladin in the convoy mission could have been so much worse. That's one of the scariest vehicles in the tabletop version.

Now that the WVR is on the field, it might not be a bad idea to refit the Javelin for LRMs since it has that fancy targeting system. But there's one thing to keep in mind.

Unless this mod changes it, LRMs are weird in terms of space. 3xLRM5s are a fair bit lighter than a 10 and a 5. Loading 5s until you run out of slots, followed by a single larger one in the last hardpoint, is usually the best use of space.

I know I'm just feeling saucy. A lot of times you can jump a few spots behind someone and not lose any accuracy. A little heat for 3 or 4 evasion pips is a good trade.
