I can't hear all this griping over as I my non-flying spaceship makes too much e-noise as I drag it across the TRANSVERSE.

How many warcrimes do you think the player will have to commit?

Ideally all of them

MW5 is pretty ok but it needs mods to make mechbuilding not suck completely

I can't believe we could've gotten a second TBS game. Battletech's my favorite one in the genre by far now

Good luck HBS

Some rear end-pull possibilities:

1. They could make a game with those IPs, but they couldn't call it "BATTLETECH 2" or anything close to the Paradox-owned trademarks so it would be kinda hard to reboot.

I've got it - they make a sequel and call it Robotech

BTA & RT include a mod called "Rollplayer" that gives the AI a bunch more variations in behavior. So instead of just scout brawler sniper, you now can have the "high-heat melee-avoiding DFA-loving brawler". (Plus several other patterns, like how close they stick to their lancemates and whether they love being on tall things like a cat.)

One of those possible selections is literally called "Heat YOLO". The acceptable heat level is set to 3. All the other AI heat settings in BTA have this between 0 and 1. So this AI doesn't even consider not firing weapons until it is at 300% shutdown heat. Even if the hit chances are crappy and you've got an undamaged mech.

So, uh, both? It is working as intended to be terrible AI, and simulate a pilot who has overridden the safeties and put black tape over the heat bar.

Time to reinstall Battletech lmao

I'm reinstalling BTA now, but I don't see documentation on the mod. Is it in by default now?

I mean, I'll take it but I do like the Battletech wrappings. I would be sad if they had to give it up due to rights or whatever.

Bad Old Tech, featuring exciting robots like the Crap, the rear end-rear end-in, the King Crap, the Fatlas, and the Charger in an age of war after the collapse of Space Rome, I guess.

The Clans should be cringey in a Starship Troopers way not a Thin Blue Line Punisher logo way, if that makes sense, and I'm not sure the PGI writers understand this

I guess what I'm saying is, Smoke Jaguar missions should not have a "targets scanned" counter. They should have a "civilians killed" counter, and your CO should yell gibberish at you for walking past a prominently labeled orphanage without firing your lasers at it. The entire game should be the Old King route from AC4A. You should be wandering into minefields and losing honor points for shooting at legs.

It's really a shame that Brigador was made by such huge shitheads, relatedly.
