Doubly so if you're doing a planetary raid contract where you only have field maintenance facilities

Captain Foo posted:iirc megamek uses a mersenne twister Having started using megamek for the first time a couple days ago, I've decided the RNG is based around "what would be the most maddening". Mechwarrior with 2 piloting seems to make about 40% of their unmodified PSRs. I've started warehousing dozens of actuators.

glwgameplayer posted:It’s one of those things where it makes sense that a Mechwarrior could be injured for months at a time after taking a heavy hit. Even with the advanced tech there’s only so fast a broken arm can be healed, or a prosthetic can be attached, god forbid you throw in internal injuries or coolant poisoning Eh, the healing rate has a caveat too: It's largely based on how many wounds you took. One or two hits and you're likely to end up with a scratched abdomen that heals quick. I had a pilot take 5 and not die and he was out for 180 days with multiple broken limbs

I've always been a fan of the mekhq option to pay for salvage overages. Made me feel less bad about grabbing that marauder that suddenly showed up in the last mission of a contract

Amechwarrior posted:So, how much will 2 new recruits cost us by the way? How big of an impact will they have the on bottom line if they end up being sidelined 90% of the time? Assuming the salary stuff in MekHQ wasn't modified a ton, pilots are actually fairly cheap. The thing I question for getting too many of the pirates was that there was talk of having standbys make their own characters so there was some reason to not stuff the roster

I've not had any issues with 49.13 or 14 (at least nothing that wasn't also an issue in 48, like princess vs low gravity). I haven't turned on the new stratcon in 0.49.14 yet tho, so I can't speak to that.

Mekhq has a button that ups the ac damage to help it out. 3/6/12 maybe (can't recall if the 20s were changed). I didn't set it because princess likes putting 27 vedettes in every mission, but it's there.

anakha posted:Scintilla, could you elaborate further on what the various Command Rights values are in these contracts? Do they have an impact on decision-making during battles? Just from the MekHQ definition: House and Liason both mean the employer determines which of your forces are deployed to any given mission, and Liason means you'll have a employer liason mech with you that needs to survive or you lose contract status. Independent is what it says on the tin, you determine which forces you send, and the employer is pretty hands off.

And if you are playing AtB Liason and Independent are fine, avoid House contracts because they're big fans of "There's a company of assault mechs attacking a civilian outpost, you must defend! Who to send... assault lance, no, second assault lance, no, wait, what's this, four Wasp LAMs? That''ll do. Go destroy 80% of the enemy forces before they kill the three fuel trucks and one machine gun turret that you have for support"

SIGSEGV posted:I suppose that's the sort of thing you can GM edit? Technically you don't even need to, all AtB says is "Second Battalion, First Company, Alpha Lance" is assigned, nothing stops you from changing the mechs in that lance around Or just making Steiner scout lances in the first place so it doesn't matter what they choose

The big downside to C that I'm seeing is it's a planetary raid. Means you're going to have minimal support and your techs are going to be tossing ropes over tree branches to hoist your mechs up for repair

The Mercenary Review Board. It's basically just a ComStar run binding arbitration committee that rules against the big houses about as often as the real world versions rule against their controlling corporations. It's biggest benefit is the prisoner exchange and bonding services so a properly registered company can get pows back. And obviously if you get your mrb rating up you can get juicier contracts, but don't expect it to save you if Davion decides that sacrificing your company is in it's best interest

glwgameplayer posted:And like that, I am now deathly afraid of whatever skill that is. I know that's probably an extremely rare case but. Why would you use an attack that has a chance to lob your arm off? Zweihander Pilot's two-handed attack in front arc inflicts extra damage, but it risks falling if fails to impact and can damage the BattleMech arms if attack hits So lose the arm if you hit, fall over if you miss. Win/Win really.

Yeah, at 4/5 you just want base skill, way cheaper and more meaningful. Gets a little more murky once you're in a vehicle for life, like getting lrm20 spec as an archer pilot

Vehicles get bogged down in mud all the time, and running+turning in mud would routinely rip mech legs off, but the only time I've seen a mech get the actual bogged down status is when they jump into mud

Gnoman posted:Without freeform refitting, that might be less true. Most of the heavy mechs available at the start of the Reunification War aren't that great - apart from the Catapult, Warhammer, and Archer, they're kind of undergunned for their size. Black knights were also in production, be a pretty rare thing in 3015
