My animu knowledge is lacking, who is that supposed to be in the cockpit?
I think it's one of the bridge officers from Macross/Robotech.

AFAIK it's not a bannable offense, but if GM Patience or whoever gets a hair up their rear end, they'll probably point to the chat logs and say you've been repeatedly spamming in text chat.

Finally getting back into the groove of driving lights. I did A Bad last night during a conquest match though. Last mech alive on my team and instead of bailing on a zombie Crab and trying to grab another resource zone, I kept harvesting butt meat to get an extra kill. Odds are that prooooobably cost my team victory by 20 points.

i won a match by powering down :agesilaus:
Those were two great matches. A power down win (courtesy of the 12th enemy overheat dying and Ghost Bear pubbies being awful shots), and then we managed to roll the same Ghost Bears that were on our team on the following match.

Also, Menturion is still a Good Mech.

Over the weekend I kitted out an Atlas S according to the Goon Guide to Good Robots, and holy hell that this is amazing. I've made other assaults flee from a single CT alpha, and straight up ruined so many lights and mediums. After playing for the last 3-ish years as a dedicated light player, it's been cathartic.

"Cheating prevention is opsec" screams of small company who doesn't know what they're doing. The perception of cheating is what matters. If cheaters get away with cheating but the public at large thinks the problem is solved, your game will flourish. If you catch most cheating but the public thinks you aren't doing anything to combat hackers, your game will tank. I highly doubt you can do a better job than Valve to combat cheating, and they are open with their anti-cheat measures (and even handle it from a PR point of view).

You'll have to excuse me if I don't have the utmost faith in a company to catch cheaters "silently" when it took them 2 years to adjust some xml values to unfuck game balance.

Unboxing Day posted:

After peeking at some of the suggestions in this thread, I decided to get a Ghost Dad since it was on sale. Currently running a build suggested by a goon with AC/20, 3x SRM6's + Artemis, and 2x medium lasers on a 350 engine.

I presume the way I'm supposed to play it is to be at the front of a push and attract the most attention (and take the brunt of the damage) while other mechs do the dirty work, and if somebody comes in range of my weapons I delete them. Plus provide ECM cover for my lance in any case, no matter if we're pushing or trying to be sneaky, to prevent LRM spam. Sound about right, or am I completely off base/bad?
That's about right. Go slow, hit hard, die shiny and chrome. Laugh as enemy mechs get cored in 1-2 shots.

Washout posted:

It was great for about 3 weeks until they reset the meta back to long range with the new map (long range meta favors people using aim bots and wallhacks). Basically the Devs are hugely disconnected from how the game actually plays and constantly and consistently make really unusually boneheaded balance and map decisions. The CEO and his second in command are really bad game designers as well and almost everything they do makes things worse.

If they start banning cheaters again and implement the 4v4 game mode the game might really start to turn around.
Honestly the new map isn't that awful. Just maneuver under cover and let the other team get frustrated and push up because they're not getting any/many shots.
