Buschmaki posted:I am spending 30$ on this videogame to paint my mech like a tiger, their F2P model works. I think that is less a sign of how well they function, but of how much you don't. edit: so I built the 2-flamer 3 SRM-6 Centurion for fun, but it actually kind of owns? Fights with energy heavy stormcrows used to be lethal knife-fights, now I just wait for them to shut down after their second alpha and calmly remove their legs.

NihilCredo posted:I used this near-exact build to do most of the matches in the Scouting challenge last week, and it worked great - the SSRM Stormcrows everybody was running were poo poo at managing heat and poo poo at destroying a Centurion. Two important tips though: It is super solid! Does anyone have the math for how the flamer heat stuff works? like, for both you and the target so I can get a better idea of when it is worth it or not to keep firing in the danger zone?\ edit: man, remember in the days of Blue Warrior Online when you could see how hot a target was by going into thermal vision?

If I even had enough mechs to make a clan drop deck I'd be down, but I don't really do CW outside of events either way, so go hog wild.

Hey, sorry I didn't drop with folks yesterday, I had to get in 1 more scout win so I could pick up my Nova and then I spent the rest of the day with my nephews, who I showed some silly robot builds on the testing grounds. edit: speaking of novas, what should I do with my Nova Prime, I was thinking swapping the mediums in one arm for small pulses?

So if I am trying to build a Stalker-3F as a Rhino, should I just put the biggest engine (310 STD) in there or do I have any real reason to scale down?

NihilCredo posted:Definitely go with a 310 for a SRM Stalker. You want every bit of speed you can get, you need it both to get close and to torso twist effectively. Not sure where I would use up the weight if I went with ML instead of MPL. edit: Are you thinking of like large lasers or something? because I have no idea how else you would even use more weight on this thing, the crit slots are already almost completely full.

EponymousMrYar posted:Neither is your 20 damage gun getting shot out from under you really quickly by someone who knows where to aim and doesn't panic when faced with your splat (or is smart and flanked your fat dad butt.) That AC20 is fragile even with gauss padding. Please stop acting like this game is competently designed and not a shitfest where some guns are just trash. It can be a fun shitfest, but let's not kid ourselves.

veedubfreak posted:Right now I'm running 2lpl then fill the mech with heatsinks, add tarcom1 then fill in whatever slots you have open with mediums. Might be medium pulses, not on my real account atm. I stuck the lasers in my arms and there is like a noticable delay when I try to fire my Lrg Pulse? edit: though looking at the hardpoints it seems like I should put them on the higher mounted torsos.

My fears were confirmed when I tried hopping into a locust, this laptop cannot handle the kind of twitch needed for that speed, it works well enough for my mediums and heavies, but I need smooth frames for light mech action. I have all the settings set as low as they go, is there any .ini fuckery I can do to get some frames until I can afford to go get a desktop?

Yeah, only having cannon load-outs would have a lot of poo poo that was unusable and some mechs that are just absurdly better than others, shy of tons of quirks, there would be like 4/5 of the mechs in the game in the trash can.

Yolomon Wayne posted:How exactly does ferro fibrous armor work in this game? So like, lets say 1 ton of normal armor is 10 points of armor on a mech. For ferro-fibrous, now 1 ton gets you 12 points of armor. At-least, that is my understanding.

Finally basiced my Stalkers and double basiced my rhino, holy hell does that make this thing way more enjoyable, trying to turn or reverse in the un-basiced stalker feels like driving a semi, now it actually feels responsive and the marginal bonus from speed tweak helps me not get left behind all the goddamn time

TheParadigm posted:You know, this made me realize something. I think the only weapon from tabletop which has 'all weapons mounted in the same location hit the same target in the same place' is, uh, the machine gun array. How does that work, exactly? I have seen them in Megamech but I don't know how to make them work, is it like artemis where you just put one in the same section that a bunch of MGs are?
