    I guess I meant when you start out or assemble a chassis, the stock setup will, upon hitting "max armor" redistribute from legs to other places. Try it out.

    I know some folks like to hit "max armor" on the mechs when they get them, are you finding the trade off ok? It pulls a lot of armor off the legs and divvies it out to other spots, are you getting legged much? Looks like no Splat Cats hmm

    What seems to be the issue, is it taking too much damage or dot dishing out enough, not fast enough?

    I have not had many "milk runs". Got my pilots up to all 4's and a 5 and the missions are harder, all 2.5 skull ones, nice payouts but kinda been hard for my 195 ton lance, trying to locate some more parts to get my 65's online. I traveled back to the starting area after the first big story...

    Small Lasers, Flamers, and Machine guns all fire automatically when you melee attack. It's nice, and brutal. Machine guns are amazing at finding shit to break once you pierce the outer armor. Each MG rolls like 5 chances to hit items in the area you get passed armor, great ammo finders. Back...

    TLDR: Sounds like you would want to go for Gunnery->Tactics->Guts->Piloting then. Gunnery - all ranks: +2.5% base ranged weapon hit chance per point Tactics would allow you to reduce penalties from LRM indirect fire, like arcing missiles over a building. Also reduces minimum ranges (for...

    UI explanation is the hardest hurdle, after that it's remembering to do things in the right order. I am already used to the turn based style and already think in terms of initiative and order of action, so it might be a bit easier from that pov. The mechs and pilot abilities do a good job of...

    I was wondering if I could avoid story mission stuff indefinitely too, just to build up to a good outfitted lance + backup. After I got the story mission, I did intentionally do all the available missions first, which were local, before heading to the story one. Never got a warning or...

    I think getting all pilots to 4 health might be a requirement. Hit in head, -1 health Side torso destroyed, -1 health Any knockdown, -1 health Not sure about others, but LRM swarm that pops one in the head and then destroys your side torso and knocks you down? - 3 health for pilot. Not sure...

    It looks like most people probably would have had the same result in that situation. I would have not likely reacted fast enough, especially without exposing myself or others to harm.

    I have seen screenies and it looks good, not had the time to watch any gameplay yet. I have to temper the counter-hype here on most games with hype in the mortal realm and come up with something hybrid.

I always assumed the employer paid the finders fee or paid them direct but I am hearing people that have been charged directly by the recruiter via a fee...
