Drone posted:Rules are unchanged. The only real change are the new miniatures, and I assume some of the rulebooks/record sheets will have a new layout. Maps are probably the same? Is Alpha Strike where those pilot cards come from? Sorry to ask here, but I couldn't find an active TG thread

Hoping to God that Jordan and CGL hash something out to adapt the HBS system over to tabletop as a new edition though. It totally feels like it's something HBS kept in mind when designing this game.

I feel like repairs and especially refits shouldn't take as long, or they should be on separate timers. I have this SHD I'm refitting for the last 4 financial periods, cause I keep having to repair 1-2 mechs every mission and bumping down the refit in the schedule. If I get a particularly tough mission, I have to fast forward for a month before I can take the next one, and the Shadowhawk falls further behind. Is it just a case of git gud(er) ?

I'm still not real sure how I should be leveling my mechwarriors. My default is that gunnery is the only tree that seems genuinely useful in all situations, but that's probably the wrong approach. Does anyone have a rundown of what skills synergize with which types of mechs and/or weapons?

Is there a way to move mechs around in the mechbay? Right now it hurts my eyes to look at because of the gaps..

Flipswitch posted:Bloody Firestarters are savage, one just cooked one of my Locusts in one go. Locusts die if literally anything looks at them funny but Firestarters are still my favourite lights and it's not even close. As long as you can keep your evasion high or stick to flanking mechs that are already engaged, all those flamethrowers can ruin a hostile's day (especially if that hostile went energy-heavy), make the rest of your lance's life a lot easier, and even help with racking up the pilot injuries for more efficient salvage.

Axetrain posted:LRM40 (20/15/5) Centurion is pretty spectacular as a missile boat. Stacked with ++ weapons its keeping the enemy on their asses on top of doing incredible damage. Also Dragons make great front line mechs they are very durable with max armor and properly fitted make real nasty close in brawlers. What's a good Dragon build? I just got my first one in the plot mission where you have all the allied turrets.

Tactics 2, good for a dedicated scout who runs around in a lighter mech than the rest of the crew or anyone in a heavy or Assault. Piloting 2, extremely good for anyone piloting a mech with huge alpha struoe potential but not a lot of armor Guts 1, the go to skill for anyone who is going to be piloting a mid-range tanky mech since it lets them shoot and get a defensive buff

Heres my builds including a Dragon that have worked well for me so far. Though don't be like me and put the ammo with the guns, I just put it opposite to aesthetically balance the mech in the lab but its 100% mechanically a bad idea. quote:So I figured I'd show off some of my builds, both to help people who are new and to get feedback from some more experienced people.

The only time pressure on the campaign map is your monthly budget so you can feel free to slum it with backwater contracts until you are comfortable with the game.

Phi230 posted:I feel like they can just redo everything the same, but modern and higher quality, up to like 3050. Then do something new nah, clan stuff was nice because it was a fundamentally different play style altogether and that's good the problem is that tabletop battletech is such a math game of moving a specific amount of hexes to have the highest evade percent you can get without losing accuracy that the faction group all about moving fast with good weapons and paper armor is, in fact, to good. They'd be hot garbo in this, though, as even with all the evasion pips in the world you aren't regularly going to be rolling 9% to hit. edit: (well, some of the clan variants were stupid, but the only outright op one was the clan pulse laser)

Argh I almost had pilot kills on a stalker and king crab in the same battle and ended up coring them both because my mechs do too much damage.

It highlights in red where the drop ship is going to land but it's hard to see on desert planets I think. It think it also says something like your mech may be in danger when it means destroyed utterly.

as long as you leave like 3 ammo crates standing all youre really losing out on is like 200k c-bills which would barely cover the repair bills i'd incur if i had not lit that base up like a christmas tree

Apparently I lucked into the god strat for this fight which is bringing 3 LRM boats and a bulwark frontliner with JJs, jump up onto the little ridge right in front of you for vision on turn 1 and then you can immediately drop LRMs on one of the ammo crates in the main base area, destroying 2 turrets and 1 mech and crippling a second mech. Then you park all your LRM boats in the water and blow everything up.
