Malek Deneith posted:Not watching this gameplay yet (limiting my exposure to campaign spoilers), but I've watched Odd play XCOM in past and he was pretty good, so I imagine he should get better in short order. This is how I came across Odd as well and I like his LP style. Anyway, I broke down and started watching streams last night. I'm so drat hyped for this game

Alright after ~100 hours I still love this game; quirks and all. I've now shifted to multiplayer but it can take a while to get a game going. What's everyone's preferred c-bill limit? I've noticed that beta players prefer 15mil any particular reason why?

deathbagel posted:I want an unlimited C-Bill bracket. I am a House Steiner goon through and through. Grasshopper should be the lightest mech I'm forced to field, and just because I want a nice mobile scout! There is an unlimited bracket but I've never tried it out. I imagine it's 4x Atlases / King Crabs

Yeah I try to play without called shot and get along just fine. I'm generally rotating between 8 - 10 pilots and mechs at any given time and in multi you can't rely on it since it comes up so infrequently

Unormal posted:My biggest complaint isn't that the game isn't fun and good, it is; it's that it's within sight of a real masterpiece of a Battletech game you could put 2,000 hours into playing merc-tycoon, but falls a little short. Fingers crossed they can get there with expansions/sequels. I'm hoping for some big updates over the course of the next few months as HBS seems genuinely interested in expanding the game out. They also alluded to it being a commercial success for them so I can't imagine why they wouldn't. The mod scene has been creating a lot of content since Modtek came out so either way I think we'll be fine

What I really want is an online lance builder so I can fiddle with c-bills all dayAnd Tyler Too! posted:I have the worst luck with called shot. Every time I try to 'leg a mech I want to salvage it just gets cored anyways. I try to go for pilot injuries when salvaging mechs, and alternating which side I'm firing at as to not destroy the mech in the process

Her being a liability really has to do with the fact that she’s suicidal. It wouldn’t be so bad if her mech was in addition to yours as it was on prison mission. Failing that just make her’s fully controllable for any mission that requires her

I used to think people were too hard on the Quickdraw but gently caress the Quickdraw. It can barely take more of a hit than a Shadowhawk

Amechwarrior posted:I agree and was thinking about that exact thing earlier. I wish more mod makers had a more granular approach. For those packs that just bundle a ton of mods together, getting them to work is hard enough right now. I can't imagine the extra troubles that would come with having to test every possible combination. You hit it on the nose. If these mods were broken down more it would be easier to create your own personal favorite. We’ll eventually run into the problem of future modpaks having different versions of the same mods and causing problems that way

This is a very meaty patch. I’ll need to tinker around in the mech lab tonight I think between these changes, the full inner sphere, jk variants and amechwarrior’s ai changes we might have a really scary and tough main game when combined with Ironman and those optional salvage options

I’m really liking these patch changes. The stock AWS-8T and BL-6-KNT are much better now and it’s forcing me to really rethink some weapon combos. The mech bay tool tips sped up my mech customizations

Couldn’t you do something pretty similar to that dragon with a SHD-2D? I prefer torso mounted AC/20’s since you want it to last as long as possible

mp5 posted:What should I be looking to replace the Blackjack with, in terms of chassis and loadout? Assuming that is the only major change I need to make before Panzyr. BJ should be ok but another 55 tonner wouldn't exactly be bad either mp5 posted:I'm not married to any of these but I don't have many other options outside of the starter Vindicator and Blackjack. After like 300 in-game weeks I apparently haven't even figured out how to leg mechs and get more than 1 salvage out of them. I guess mech stability was a lot lower in general prior to 1.1 so you could just knock something down 3-4 times You have 25 rounds worth of shots of the SRM's in the Shadowhawk, that's waaaay too many. I'd go with 2 tons of ammo, less HS, and put on more armor and an energy weapon. As mentioned above the Centurion's loadout is mostly fine but move the ammo to it's legs. Hunch is pretty close to how I run it, but I only go with 2 tons of ammo I R SMART LIKE ROCK fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Jul 18, 2018 |

I was imagining a scenario where an IS commander managed to successfully get a Clan commander to bid down to their lightest mech. Then after they get ready, the IS commander mentions that their lightest is a Grasshopper

Phrosphor posted:They made an annoucement yesterday that they had brought on a new artist, so something is happening. It feels really weird after how open things felt in that last run up to release with the monthly Q&A's. There has probably been a lot of shuffling going on with the Paradox takeover and also the loss of a member of staff to scandal. This is from a while ago but how'd this campaign end up? Also did you mix in any other mods? I was considering starting up a new campaign and RogueTech doesn't seem quite up my alley

Panfilo posted:One thing I like about RogueTech is the granularity. Not every new weapon is great all the time, but most have a place. ER small lasers have amazing range for such a light weapon, but you'll run out of energy hardpoints long before tonnage becomes an issue. Light PPCs don't feel terribly heat efficient for their damage, but they only weigh 3 tons and still give the debuff to hit enemies. I wanted to say that I’ve appreciated your thoughts on RougeTech. I’ll probably end up trying it out

I've been trying out https://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/mods/136, sandbox version, based on some feedback from other players in this thread. The balance changes are pretty well thought out and explained. This modpak seems to be based around the idea of expanding and balancing what was already there If you do decide to try it out follow the installation instructions: https://www.nexusmods.com/battletech/articles/84
