So there's the whole freeborn-trueborn mixing thing going on here. How hard was it for the squad to get their positions, seeing as they don't fit the clan ubermenschen model (although it's funny that the stats are the same), and how big of a snub is it for the star commander to be here instead of somewhere important?

I've heard a lot of conflicting things about whether or not Harmony Gold was involved in the MW5 delay, or whether it was something else entirely that S&T couldn't talk about. Does anyone have a definitive "this is what happened and why" they can give?

Der Waffle Mous posted:Why not a custom all-UAC/2 variant of an existing omni? Because sandpapering is only good if there are armor holes to exploit. Otherwise, you're just spreading damage all over the target. Heavier weapons will take a limb off or punch through armor.

"Just add a little delta v" is easy to say, but really hard to do. Anything that's going to make an impression after going through atmosphere is loving massive, and nowhere near a planet. You have to drag it from a "nearby" (in solar system terms) asteroid field or bring it with you, and then you have to get it to hit the right spot. You could just bring some iridium rods with you or something, but KE weapons are not the magic bullet for killing things on the ground.

I'm a big fan of the Rabid Coyote, but that's probably because of Mech 4 and me being totally in love with LB-X and SRM combinations. Which is not the stock variant in any way, but a really mean medium infighter.

ShadowDragon8685 posted:I think those guys may be using a LosTech temporal generator to create a bubble of independent space-time in which to work on the 'mechs. The MFBs contain an entire, like, division-scale refit system between them. They weren't meant for just one lance, it just works out that way because poo poo goes down and the greatest voice actor ever is doing his best to keep things on track. Seriously they can re-armor and reload a Mech in actual seconds.

I never saw machine gun ammo explosions as so ridiculous. Mechs are big, so mech ammo bins are big, and even modern ammo has lots of propellant in it. Half a ton of explosive going up all at once should be pretty impressive.

You could use the Shadowrun explanation: a brain is a massively powerful parallel processor that can crush any solely hardware based computer with ease, and advanced computing co-opts some of that. There's the programming issue too. Terrain is varied, and it takes us years to learn to walk (and decades to be graceful about it). The DI computer doesn't have to number crunch, it can just watch the brain going "oh poo poo I'm going to fall over on may face" and invoke "oshitfallingoverface.func".

Falcon Guards With the weight saved in weapon/ammo tonnage and using dhs, I think the cHPPC comes out pretty even with the cLB-20x. It's 4 tons lighter and 14 points hotter, if you were using 3 tons of ammo that's even heat. Plus it's much smaller.

The whole point of this map is "lots of light/heavy woods". Get in cover and get close and it should be a more even fight (you also have better pilots).

Zeroisanumber posted:Hell with that. If we stick to the trees, stick together, and use cover effectively we'll be fine. cLPLs are powerful, but not overwhelming. The RiflemanIIC literally fires 4 IS PPCs with +1 to hit, no minimum range, and a larger range bracket at will (except when it's hot, when it fires 3 for one round).

Voyager I posted:You also have to consider that a lot of our weapons are attached to mechs on the verge of implosion, while those Grasshoppers are going to take a while going down. It's not unwinnable, but it's going to be tight either way, and even if we win who knows if we'll have time to scoop the loot. Don't discount pilot quality. The Clanners are okay (partly compensated for by implants), but the Death Commandos are about as good as it gets.

The Taurian Corcordant is the only half-civilized place in the periphery. It was actually above inner sphere standards of living until the Star League (mostly the Davions) buried it under a wall of military resources, ruined or stole the best worlds, and slapped a "protection" treaty on them.

Wales Grey posted:Counterpoint: Steampunk is poo poo. Only if you focus on the steam, but forget the Punk. It's perfectly worthwhile when you make the story about the rise of the oppressed worker class who've been reduced to organic components in the machine of industry while their wealthy masters gallavant around in massive, heavily armed suits of armor in a show of wealth and power. You've just been scarred by idiots who put cogs on everything.

dis astranagant posted:Especially since VDNI tends to cause permanent and total brain damage inside of 10 years. I'd say weapons grade crazy but that's a VDNI user's 5 year prognosis. It does when you're the Clans and don't refine your interface tech because your pilots are disposable piloting computers. It may not when you're actually competent.

Dolash posted:If that's true, how does that explain the Clans? The worlds they conquer get absorbed into their crazy caste-based society, that sounds like something a planet would fight against if they could rather than "here comes the new boss, same as the old boss," and they're even more dependent on small groups of elite warriors instead of massive conventional armies. They actually don't get absorbed into the caste society, that's part of the incredible stupidity of the Clans. They think they can just show up and wave their ER dicks around and all the little people they usually don't have to think about will fall in line and become (even poorer) peasants, instead of setting bombs and knifing the mighty warriors in alleyway ambushes like they do. The Clans literally thought they could just shoot some people and plant a flag on Terra and all the great houses would instantly capitulate because clearly these supermen returning from beyond the rim are most suited to rule, and not a bunch of socially maladjusted twenty-somethings. Hell, they actually thought they would make it to Terra.
