Get in mumble, talk about non MWO poo poo while shooting robots and maybe be drunk/high. It's playable and pretty alright most of the time!

I will send unit invite if it hasn't been done already the mumble info is in motd. You can be the test subject to find out how much that poo poo is going to cost.

e. That's a cool 16.2 million cbills per invite!

You can thank MintFrog!

Don't knock sensor range boosts. They're hella handy for seeing what son the map if you stack em up.

Scout mode is pretty awesome, though I have trouble figuring out if we're attacking or defending. My AARP "defended" St. Ives about three times last night, but was on Offense for two of them.

The first match we lost in a brawl.

The second I was the last man standing in my HBK-4G(F) sauntering around like a bigshot with three of four kills when the "Get to ze Choppa!" countdown hit zero and we lost.

The third match we figured out what we were supposed to do, and did it very well. We went 2 lights, 2 mediums. Pirate's Bane, Crab, Panther and Shadowhawk. We got 14 intel points, killed two of them and got off planet with two of us alive (the lights). The mediums distracted and fought the first half of the match, while the lights gathered intel. Then when the dropship lands, the Pirate's Bane heads there, while I engaged any pursuers from long range (2 ER PPC's) with the Panther, killing the pursuing Griffon.

I want more of these kinds of objective based 4v4.

imho they're better off then they were. The .5 reduction of heat adds up. It's the new velocity increase that makes it shine. Couple it with a mech that has increased PPC velocity on top of it and you don't need to lead a mech a mile ahead anymore.

I was struggling to break 500 in my VND, not so much anymore considering I can land my shots much easier.

The 1 less heat per ER PPC has made it usable on my Panther. It's far more useful to hit and run from a much longer range.

My clan joined a merc unit, and I can queue up for Inner sphere CW, but I have no idea what house I'm in. It's like a merc logo on top of a ????? no-clan space filler logo. What the gently caress house am I fighting for?

e: also why has the goddamn drop deck weight limit dropped by 10 tons? And why is my math off by 15 tons instead of the 10 that's missing? IS drop deck guide on metamechs said I could substitute a king crab for a stalker but you can't. What the heck.

I think they said years ago they never modeled a head. Originally having a pilot avatar was supposed to be a thing but they never did it.

To be fair, it does provide a deterrent to the "the entire Clan team is parked on a hilltop a kilometer away not moving" dilemma that happens on some maps.

Additionally, I'm not sure how easy it is to keep 90%+ of the intel points either, but at about 15 or so for a good round it sounds like your faction would have to be really outmatched or utterly ignoring 4v4.
