aniviron posted:The thing is, it's not just a choice between 4.5% heat vs radar dep. You have to consider the nodes in between. Very nearly everything in the sensor tree is good. Target retention is good because it allows you to predict enemies much more easily. Extra sensor range is good because it lets you determine enemy loadouts sooner at the beginning of the game, and acts as a soft counter to ECM because it increases the range at which you can target ECM mechs. Radar dep and seismic are obviously critical. And target info is excellent because it means you can shoot weak spots as soon as you target something instead of blindly blasting the CT of that battlemaster for 60% of your heat only to realize the left side was open. Advanced zoom is pretty bad and not worth it unless your vision is bad and you are in an ER LL boat, but it's also not blocking any good nodes. 360 target retention is pretty baller but you get the first rank (the worthwhile rank) of it as a filler node so you can skip the other. This is almost sounding like ggggooddd designnn scooby (shivers comically)

Agrajag posted:I seem to do the worst with spls. I end up spending more time running away than getting shots on target. never stop moving, never be the main thing they're focusing on, never shoot a robot more than three times before running away, your mission is to survive to the end.

The Repo Man posted:I'll probably do it in my Pirate's Bane. Or maybe set up a really stupid trash gimmick mech. A Warhawk with 4 small lasers and an LRM 5. Just piss my team right off. Oh, or an all small laser SNV-3. Small laser Boar's head...the trash possibilities are endless. Cicada 2a can run 6sl iirc.

tarbrush posted:So, there's been 900 posts here since I last booted this up. Is the game any good yet? They have a bunch of new guns and armour and engines on the test server, they have an elaborate new skill system that isnt terrible, they have a few new game modes, they are doing lots of sensible incremental tweaks. Still an arena shooter but it seems like they are doing all the stuff goons have wanted for years, though it may be too late...

DancingShade posted:Your pilot "skill" rating goes up over time no matter what mech you're in so long as you're consistently at least dead average. though I don't play any more i've been tier 4 basically forever. I'm pretty bad, I guess, though I have the occasional good light game

Have they amped up the sound effects? They seem a lot chunkier than six months back when i played last.
