It sounds neat. So these Laser Heatsinks are akin to Double Heatsinks but they manage heat better on hotter environments but less efficiently on colder planets? I'd love to see that heat effect for them.

If they're releasing a 3052 mech, I'm guessing the Bushwacker is around the corner?

Really, heat management in the computer games has always been way the gently caress off what it was in TT. In TT you didn't start shutting down until you got way the gently caress into the red zone, but you started getting all sorts of negative modifiers to your to-hit rolls, piloting rolls, etc. The fact that it got increasingly impossible to hit anything as your targeting computers locked up and died had a much bigger impact and was what ultimately made you cease fire for a bit to cool down.

Here's a shot of the significant part of your standard mech sheet:  edit: god I forgot they put movement modifiers in if you were running hot. God I'd love to see that in this game - watch Arctic Cheetahs start moving like stock urbies while red-lining.

The Repo Man posted:Long Tom damage reduced to 300 from 700, and will no longer head shot after the 17th. Wish they had rolled out that damage change yesterday. It couldn't be rolled out that fast. It requires a significant code change and was not eligible to be hot fixed.

You should still suggest to Russ that they should sell neon hot pink for 150%-200% cost and donate the extra to a breast cancer awareness/treatment charity. Anyone who wants bright pink is going to pay extra for it and it's a good PR move. Hell, I'd probably spend $10 for hot pink if even $5 of that went to a reputable charity.

Don't think that if you aren't getting kills you are doing bad. Urbanmechs aren't a starter mech. If you are still buying your first few, check the OP. Cheetahs with ECM and Sml pulse, or a Storm crow are going to be solid first buys.

In general, if you do more than 300 damage in a match you're pulling your weight. Notable exceptions are if you get a lot of killing blows or are packing LRM's (they 'waste' a lot of damage because they have jack for consolidating it) and ACH's are mean.

Honestly, if you're enjoying lights so much - buy an ACH. gently caress, you can buy two if you save your first 25 match bonuses. That way you're 2/3 to Eliting it. Don't buy an UM. Oh and...

You start just about at tier 4, so if you win your first few you move up right away. If you lose a couple badly you will drop down to 5 again. The PSL is kinda weird, if you win and do good (get damage mostly), you go up. If you lose and don't do well, you go down. Everything else you stay the same.

The overwhelming % of their donations go to executive pay and advertising. They don't fund breast cancer treatment or research, they support "breast cancer awareness". Every dollar that goes to Komen is a dollar that isn't going to a charity that actually does some good. It's a marketing firm disguised as a charity that only markets itself.

Dying to 3 streak crows while in a Pirate's Bane in the capture zone of Scouting in the last 1 second of a match kind of sucks, but overall great matches tonight. Loosing that Invasion match to a single kill was pretty alright, tense, and fun. Whoever asked for the 10 Medium Laser Nova match recording, it'll be a while before I can get to uploading that. I need to run it through Handbrake first to make sure YT doesn't screw it up, and I won't have enough time to do that for a while. Maybe when the event is over. Remind me then.

Some good Invasion matches last night If you have the 'mechs for it (things like Battlemasters or Grasshoppers) it's definitely worth having an ERLL boat as an option. I parked on the hills in Boreal Vault and Emerald Taiga with my -2C and spent the entire match making sure the enemy were under pressure every time they moved out of cover. Any clanner that decides to trade with you doesn't really have a range advantage, and you've likely got way more structure than they do, and if they're trading with you, they're not looking at your spacebros about to descend upon them with SRMs and rage. It's also really helpful for calling out pushes and IDing important targets, since you can effectively see the entire map from where you are I wouldn't have more than two robots doing it though, else you start missing armor from the front lines either that or have all 12 robots do it and melt the clans from 800m away Pattonesque fucked around with this message at 15:48 on May 5, 2016 |

Pattonesque posted:Some good Invasion matches last night The match on Grim Portico where the two of us just kinda sat back and melted the entire enemy team with large lasers was pretty beautiful  I may invest in a Battlemaster at some point just for ERLL purposes. They at least look pretty good, too. Event bitch: I wish they'd lower the intel requirement for it. I feel like I'm going to have to play games where all I do is look for intel to complete it and, having already done a few, it feels like I functionally don't contribute. I hate it.
