Is there a way to add waypoints in moves? I'm pretty sure I could get through this radiation field on a wriggly path!

until you strip it down and idiotically put it back together like a moron and it spends over a month in the bay, gets rebuilt, performs like rear end so you spend another month putting it back the way it was

Do enemy units ever break or flee? It feels like they should but there've been quite a few missions where it ended with my heavies vs the last surviving light that runs up and punches my mechs in the knees. :3:

Boy did that give me a surprise when I first figured that out. "WHAT. This mission only had Jenners and Locusts before. WHERE THE gently caress DID THESE FIRESTARTERS COME FROM?!" :supaburn:

Actually I realized I do have one loving huge complaint.

Mechs stomping on vehicles dont stomp anywhere near them. This is UNACCEPTABLE

Oh jesus christ Dekker just killed the warden on a rush attack and punched in the head on a pristine Jagermech! :gizz:

Tank shoots AC/5, single hit removes my Locust's right arm and right torso. The gently caress is with the math in this game

Locusts are constructed of paper mache

Is there a way to just walk backwards while still facing the same direction? I've seen the animation for it but they always turn around at the end. Also, holy crap I didn't realize that ammo could explode. I've been putting my ammo in the torso (and sometimes the head!!).

:allears: Ammo explosions are the best thing. Please keep your ammo in your head!

The aimed shot is much better than the 15% chance might look. I pretty much use it whenever I can and it's saved my bacon many times by blowing up legs.

Pretty sunrise.

The planets you're around will influence your visual landscape a lot. On one I kept getting purple-black midnight missions til I decided to leave and never come back.

This game sure swallowed my week. It's hard to tear myself away from it, I always want to do one more thing then whoops suddenly it's three hours later.

and all your pilots are in hospital while your mechs will take a month to patch together

Yeah there's no overwatch. There's reserving though. Make good use of reserves. Learn to make good use of brace too.

Brace saved my rear end in a really tough mission, just have my heaviest armored mech stand in some cover up front and brace, it'll soak up all the damage that could be hurting everyone else.

Oh god, I thought gear only came as + or ++.

Turns out there's +++ too. Which I put on a mech which promptly got its arms blown off. RIP LLas+++

Tanks are some unfun bullshit. Too much armor / too much damage potential; either one or the other has to go.

Tanks are op. low profile, immune to heat damage, no knockdown damage. please take my legs and give me treads.

That's... odd. I took a 4 star mission to see what I'd be up against.

It turned out to be a Demolisher, a cicada, a vindicator and a quickdraw. Thats it. And I was dropped off on a mountaintop so I spent the whole time shooting holes in them with missiles while they crawled around the mountain trying to climb up.

Insert name here posted:

I just had a similar situation where I had 2 priority slots and managed to pilot kill a Jagermech-A and core a Hunchback-G. Decided to take the one Hunchback piece cause I was already 2/3 and one of the Jagermech pieces and the RNG gods smiled upon me and gifted me the other two Jagermech pieces in the random slots. :feelsgood: Gonna turn this thing into a sweet LRM boat.
The Jagermech's lrm slots are in the center torso :negative:

Okay MY jager has its missile slots in the 4 slot ct. :(

If you've meleed a mech in the previous round, is it intentional that you're stuck to it and cant maneuver to punch it in the back of the head?

I got a Gyro with +1 melee hit. Does this mean I'm going to double any melee attacks I make?!
