Took out a firebrand with 2xac5 4xml and the biggest xl engine I could fit. Pubbies are so bad I get away with a lot of stupid poo poo and still do good damage and get decent kills. I... I had fun.  No poptarting so far... a drat miracle? Or did pgi do something right?

Fil5000 posted:Ahahaha, the cUAC-5 gets a heat penalty if you fire more than three, so you will probably explode if you double tap that thing. Double tap half of them, once two third of them jam switch to double tapping the other group? It'd be like a dakkaphract with less downtime. Maybe.

Fil5000 posted:But you'll be attracting ghost heat if you double tap three of them. It just counts the number of times you fire weapons of a certain type within a half second window, so double taps count as firing a whole other set.  whatWhat's the stat difference between the IS and clan edition that warrants this?

Dramicus posted:Wait for the Summoner then, it should be out in a week or so. It will be the first clan heavy to be released for c-bills. The Timberwolf is better, but it's coming out in like 5 months. He says he doesn't care about the wait so... stormcrow? Diverse and fast with jets. No idea on the release date though.

Is it still fun to run around with a spider wielding a single erppc? It wasn't good but it sure annoyed the gently caress out of people.

Just browsed some stuff on smurfy's. Are those ammo-per-ton stats for clan weapons bugged or is it as insane as it looks? 35 shots of ac20 for a ton? The clan uac20 taking up LESS space than its regular clan counterpart? I know clans are silly but this is more than I thought it would be.

So if I understand this correctly the King Crab is essentially a 100 ton assault BoomJaeger. Even with ghost heat the BooJaeger still performs so having all that additional weight will open up scary options. Which is weird because ghost heat suggests they want to deter people running around in a BoomJaeger. Oh  It says a lot about my money-managing skills that I will be getting one of those for free.

It hasn't even neutered boomjaegers. You can safely alpha twice and then chain fire after that. Now that poptarting is just about dead this build works great again. So...

Yes you scrubby IS guys it's not our fault that you are forgetting to "zerg" in a game where the unit count is the same for both sides. We can't help it that you're not using your factions' advantage over the clanners.

3xsrm6 2ml std engine hellbeast that, especially in the old days, was lethal as gently caress. All the missiles are located in one side torso. It's fast and compact so you can lose both arms and the other side torso while still retaining full functionality.

Vorgen posted:LRMs and ER Large Lasers. Unless you've got tons of those on your medium you're better off waiting for the long-range fight to bear fruit and create a number of damaged assaults for you to shoot in the back than to run out and try to flank the enemy right away. The thing is that you could replace those mediums with heavies and now they can partake immediately from the onset.

The fact it comes with a fixed XL engine, and low for the tonnage and that, means that adding endo would only make your problem bigger: you would run out of logistic space on your mech even faster.

Stupid question time: do all clan autocannons fire in bursts or just the ultra's? Also why are the ultra's cheaper than the regular for clan. I don't get it. Just or is there some merit in the price difference?

I sometimes throw in the two mlas when I'm behind a target that won't give me the time to fully use up all my heat capacity to srms without serious risk. Normally I prefer to front load and immediately twist.

The biggest problem I see is that you have case installed on an xl engine build. Case doesn't protect the section it is in, it protects the section right next to it from absorbing excess damage from an ammo explosion. XL engine builds for IS are goners if they lose a side torso so it becomes moot. Besides that your armor could also use a boost. Drop the case and remove one jump jet. Full armor on the arms, rest towards your legs. E: Move a ton of ammo into the head. It's not the easiest spot to hit and by the time you receive enough damage to cause an explosion in that section you're close to losing the cockpit anyway. A good idea would be to move the AMS in there. Mindblast fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Oct 4, 2014 |

While I am all for challenges like this I hope we won't get one exactly like it. The idea is nice but the end result is anti team, in a way. I personally couldn't get the points needed but I had fun and can outfit a stormcrow soon. So yeah.

Tusen Takk posted:I can't mess with the loadout, but I have 8.5mil cbills towards purchasing one. How much does that loadout cost? After buying your first Stormcrow you can buy the individual sections of the other variants for about 250K per piece. You can then build most of the builds people mention for it without any problem. The only thing is that you need to buy the other two variants to unlock the elite skills. The Stormcrow luckily doesn't need those per say. Even with just the basics it's good. I tried 5x streak srm 6 yesterday. I think I made a locust pop in one alpha.
