Rhymenoserous posted:splatlas is loving amazing though. During a press the first assault mech I see is going to die. If he's standing next to a heavy both of them are going to die. Then I'll maul a third assault/heavy before going down in a blaze of glory. I honestly think I'm packing more ammo than I'll ever use on this thing... generally I've been using three tons each for AC/20 and SRM6s, with four tons for the SRMs if I'm using the Atlas-S. I almost never run out before losing the weapons.

Captn Kurp posted:Last time I played I had a Cataphract with 4x AC5 which was lots of fun to use with just alpha strike, are there any mechs than can do something similar with ballistic guns? Banshee-3E gets massive AC/5 quirks -- put three of them on there and they have the effective DPS of like 5 Maulers aren't available for CBills yet, but Kazvall has a variant that can fit, uh, six AC/5s. Incredibly slow but basically heat-neutral, with a 30-point alpha over and over and over again Dire Wolves can fit five or six UAC/5s, or three UAC/5s and two UAC/10s

Apparently it was offered as a loyalty reward BattleMech, featuring a unique skin and a 30% Cbill bonus. It was rewarded to any player who purchased MC.png before October 21, 2014. according to the wiki. Also, it's a Cent with no Energy and 3 ballistics, (also no Double HS yet, since I've never used it)...guess that now that MGs are viable it can be used with those and some SRMs?

Pumpkinreaper posted:Those both sound good, once I have dinner I'll try to find some goons to suck with as I learn the ways of butt tickling. Urbie is a light but it doesn't play like one. In canon it is basically a city fighter with a huge gun that can't outrun a bicycle. In the game it has a limited engine size (about 50 kph slower than the fastest light), 360-degree torso twist, and weird hitboxes. If anything gets close to you, you are mostly boned, but if you stick with assaults and peek with lasers you can do work.

So... Ive been pretty interested in these clan mechs. I bought the Catapult A1 (c) "Clan Variant". Well... lo behold I take it to the testing grounds and the mech lab. The HUD is neither blue nor are clan LRM available to be equipped?! Thats the whole reason I just spent $20 on this thing because I was told clan mechs... can equip clan weapons... I can't even find ANY information ANYWHERE online as to what mechs even CAN equip C-LRM. Is there any way I can have a refund done or something. steamlaunch.txt
