Cyrano4747 posted:Ever been to a hockey game? A damp squid lands with a pretty unimpressive splort too. He may have had the exact metaphor wrong, but his version still works for me. In hockey an octopus is thrown onto the ice as its eight arms symbolize the number of playoff wins necessary to win the Stanley Cup. Since squid have 10 arms they are not usually thrown onto the ice during hockey games.

DatonKallandor posted:I can recommend reading the pre and post battle fluff, the fluff for each turn, and if you feel like it, skimming the combat results to look for crits. If something jumps out as being interesting (headshots, ammo crits, kills) you read backward to figure out who caused that. That'll get you the big moments of the battles without reading each individual weapon shot. This is what I do and it works great.

Multishot isn't there to split firepower, it's there so you don't waste an entire turn shooting something that you can kill off with a single medium laser.

Eschatos posted:Is it possible that the rewards you select for a mission influence the enemy composition? Now that I'm doing 1.5-2 skull missions, it feels like whenever I go max money I go up against a lance of mediums, and whenever I select loot I go up against vehicles. It actually came in handy when i got wrecked on a mark artillery targets mission. Reloaded the previous save, went high loot, and got put up against 4 vehicles. I'm pretty sure it's random. If you reload a save the opfor changes even if you kept everything else the same.

What is the thread opinion on thermal exchangers? I did some math and I think that the 20% one is worth it once you have an alpha that generates 56 heat, but there might be something I'm missing.

Organ Fiend posted:You can't talk about sustained fire and then ignore the heat of the JJs. If we're talking about comparable sustainability, then 4 JJs (4 tons 26 heat) is comparable to 2xML, 2xHS (4 tons, 26-6=20 heat). In the late game, thats 70 damage, and some extra HS for something else. A SRM6 with 1 ton of ammo is 4 tons and only 12 heat. If you have HS to drop, SRM10 + 1 ammo is 6 tons and 20 + 6 (drop 2 HS)=26 heat. Thats 120 damage in the late game. If you take heat into account, and have HS to dump, 4 tons and 26 heat removed from your build is enough to turn an AC5 into an AC20. These are not insignificant amounts of damage. If we're ignoring heat (i.e. you're not jumping all the time, you're also not shooting all the time), then those 4 tons become 4 MLs, 8 SRMs, 6 support weapons and change, etc. Are you using mods? These numbers are pretty off vanilla.

CompeAnansi posted:So is there a guide someone with optimized loadout suggestions for all the different mechs The optimized loadout is as many SRMs and MLs as you can fit on the thing. SRMs and MLs are just so much more damage per heat/ton efficient than any other weapon. The problem is that there are some mechs that just straight up suck compared to others.

Ammo goes in the legs because they're the second hardest location to hit besides the head. Everything else goes wherever it can fit, remembering that arms are easier to blow off than torsos, and you shouldn't put stuff in the legs if you've got ammo in them.

If you go the support/SRM/ML maximum efficiency route, the definitive top tier mechs for each class are: Light: Firestarter Medium: Centurion CN9-AL Heavy: Grasshopper Assault: King Crab Other decent mechs are: Light:  Medium: Kintaro, Griffin, Shadowhawk, Centurion CN9-A Heavy: Jaegermech JM6-A, Catapult CPLT-C4, Thunderbolt TDR-5SE Assault: Atlas, Highlander

With the high damage weapons and coolant vent you can get 100 tonners up to three turns of 600ish damage alpha before they need to rest. But yeah, the Centurion-AL is just a Thunderbolt-5SE with one less medium laser.

El Spamo posted:Not wanting to quote myself, but I just did some math because I'm at work and bored waiting on a coworker to respond to me. Exchangers are useful when you have enough weaponry to generate more than 60 heat per turn (90 heat with Guts 9). This heat level is the max you can generate in one turn without automatically overheating. Exchangers cause your weapons to generate less heat, so you can cram on more weapons without hitting the overheat threshold. They're key for the sustained (shoot for 3 turns, cool off for one) 575 alpha King Crab.

Conspiratiorist posted:All Exchangers follow the same math since it's 5% heat reduction per ton, making 60 weapons heat generated their break even point with Standard Heatsinks (60 * 5% = 3 heat negated, same as a heatsink). The game doesn't track fractional heat (it rounds down to the closest integer value), so the break-even point for each exchanger is slightly different. For the 20% exchanger it's 56 heat. Conspiratiorist posted:Exchangers affect gross weapon's heat, not net total heat. Yeah, that's why I said enough weaponry to generate 60 heat per turn. Since heat generation occurs before heat dissipation you need to keep it below the overheat threshold if you don't want to overheat. The reduction in weapon heat generation from exchangers is what lets you do the crazy alpha-strikes without overheating.

Conspiratiorist posted:56*.2 rounded down is 11 It's 11.2, which you subtract from 56 to get 44.8, which rounds down to 44, which is 12 less than 56 (i.e. the 12 heat needed to get even with heatsinks). Conspiratiorist posted:And no, heat generation and dissipation occurs in the same step. You don't have to worry about taking overheat damage from large gross heat values so long as your delta is manageable. No they don't occur in the same step. You generate heat during the turn and then it gets dissipated after the turn ends. Think about it. If you shoot a weapon, you still generate heat even though you're automatically sinking 30 heat plus whatever heat sinks you have. The heat sinking doesn't occur until the end of the turn. You can literally watch when it gets sunk.
