Oh right, penetration = possible crit, and if so roll for location. Obviously its been far too long since I played tabletop. :(

How does a PPC one-shot you? They do 10 damage and the head has 9 armor and 3 structure. One PPC to the head leaves you at 2 structure left and a wound on your pilot...

Mmm, but what would the payout have been with all those bonuses applied to the starting 700k? I'm not convinced max salvage IS in fact more money if money is what you need, especially if a mission is likely to have bonus objectives.

Earlier in the game for us I think. You're playing more.

I just got one as an enemy (and a centurion too) in my last "sending a message" mission, which naturally was on max cash because I need to make next payroll (Bloody Argo sucking all my money! :p ), so I'm currently save-scumming to try and get one of the pieces in my random loot to go with the 2...

You know thats how THIS starts, dont you?

I was all excited when I got my first Trebuchet but it was a severe disappointment. Its faster than my Centurion missile boat, but the Centurion is much better armored for the same weapon loadout, which is 2 LRM 15s and an LRM10, 4 tons of ammo and 1 heatsink. The Trebuchet cant carry 3 LRMs...

First serious glitch in the game- I kicked the head off a thunderbolt, took all 3 pieces as salvage and a cockpit++. The thunderbolt did not show up in my bay. :( Loaded a save, finished the mission, the thunderbolt showed up fine but the possible salvage list was different so no cockpit...

I turned my Centurion (45 ton iirc) into a missile boat- 2 LRM 15s and an LRM 5, recently upgraded to an LRM 10. Works fine.

What it needs is to go more campaign-y style contracts- its not just a single mission and youre done, its a single goal but you have to prep the ground with light and medium mech missions to make the final goal mission easier or possible at all. That lets you run a full company but the other 2...

Happened to my friends car in Houston during Hurricane Alicia in '83. A tree between our driveway and the neighbors house fell right across his car without touching it, and took out the 7 or 8' long roof covering the path between the house and garage without touching either. 4 feet to the...

I'd suggest not aiming at the side torso for captures because anything that would otherwise go to that arm or the side torso instead goes to center as natural focused fire which as you've noted kills it. Raw stability damage for the first takedown at least. Then you can try for a stability and...

Only just got the dropship and havent finished the other contracts in that system, but the conversations after finishing the second storyline mission suggest you can go anywhere after that. I've been getting my Liao faction from missions in the local area. Ok, just checked on my star map, says...

Running an LRM35 Centurion, a quickdraw tank with 4 ML and 2 SRM6's, and whatever of my 45-50 tonners are online at the time with 1 tank pilot and one scout pilot to target lock for the centurion.

No crashes for me either, and some but minor memory leaks. The "reinforcements coming" is basically it presuming you hit the main target first rather than sweeping the map first. Sounds like youre sweeping the map to kill the reinforcements first, same as me. So it gives the message while...

God dammit- I flew to my next contract but forgot to start a refit on my missile boat before travelling so I was gonna reload and start the refit first, but I looked in the store just in case- a +1 stability damage lrm 15, a +1 stability damage SRM 6 and a +2 damage, +2 stability damage SRM6...

Ran into my first SRM carrier a couple hours ago. That was a rude shock! Thank god I was mostly behind a rock! Soooo many SRM 6's! Ran into my first Goliath tank on the next mission. Boom, headshot on my heaviest mech. Fortunately it was me, rather than my other pilots so I didnt lose...

Got my first heavy by headshotting (by luck) both the pirate queen and her escort in that mission. Not even with big weapons either, just srm and medium laser spam. :)

I havent experimented with the concept yet but I'm thinking something fast with at least 2 heavy guns and multitargeting just for going after those little shits. Related- Wanted- a fucking pilot who can fucking hit with her fucking heavy fucking weapons. Fuck.

Thats not a very impressive rec room....

Wonder what the mech customisation options are like- I want my Locust gunship horde back! 3 medium lasers and speed 12 for the win!

Hmm

Permit me to expand upon that theme-

I'll see you and raise you-

Sure, except Anjelica Huston was 39 when that picture was taken...

Well *I'm* smiling....

It de-escalated quickly...

She missed the perfect opportunity to go "OKAY HEIL NO"....

Apparently she had a form of elephantiasis, so valid excuse. She was losing weight fast at the end but too late to avoid fatal heart and kidney issues. Died about 5 months ago.

Watch some Quill18 replays- he generally plays on deity. One of his points is that its not just trying to maximize yourself, its also selectively crippling the race leaders so that they dont win. Find out who's ahead in culture and take some of their cities, same for tech.

One of the government district upgrades in the upcoming Rise And Fall expansion gives more builder charges.

Is that midget porn or giant porn?... Here's a picture of a happy couple on a dinner date.

Or...

I had to take a couple of years of Latin back when I went to school in England, and I'm here to tell you if those fuckers werent already dead I'd kill them myself for inflicting that language on me. Amo, amas, amat, amamus amatis amant my ass! Rome makes a good movie image, but a crappy language.

I wouldnt have thought that girl would need tools to help nut....

Shouldnt France be blue too then?...
