I disagree with your ideal lance buildout. When you run 5 skull missions and have to kill 8+ assault mechs even one fully tanky king crab will get whittled down. I've been running one full on tank King Crab, two Atlas with jump jets who help out with the damage by evasion tanking (can get 4...

I have my Gauss in an Atlas I salvaged from a mission, it fits pretty nicely there too. The ballistic slot on the atlas is right torso so the Gauss is better protected than in the arm of a highlander, 210 armor vs 150 and more structure as well. Must protect my precious precious cannon. That...

Has anyone found a better chassis for a LRM boat than the 4 missile hardpoint Highlander? I want to see how absurd they can get. I had this fitted with an LRM 10 in the place of the 5 but it just ran too hot. Could only fire two full salvos before redlining and then could only sustain 30 per...

To each their own, I was just never impressed with the Quickdraws.

The 60 ton heavies (Quickdraw, Dragon) just arent worth it over the 55 ton mediums. Youre better off with a Shadow Hawk or Griffin or even a catapult if youre building a LRM boat. There was also an interview in PC Gamer with the lead devs from the game, link here for those interested Battletech...

Why can't it be Steam Workshop?

dbl post.

If you know about Madcats then you know how truly limited the mech lineup is in this game so far. I think they started with such a limited lineup and in 3025 for a reason, so that subsequent expansions/DLCs (it is Paradox after all) can introduce all the goodies like Madcats like you're hoping...

Yeah I havent played a game non-stop like this in a long time. My favorite title to come out in the past couple years. I will agree however, it needs some polish and a bit of other love to be truly great.

Just had the best reinforcements bug yet. Got a message from Oliveria on turn two to watch out for them and I see them right away. I have two objectives at this time, kill enemy units and reinforcements. I kill off the reinforcements, the kill enemy units objective goes away, mission success...

I dont know how far along many of you are in the story missions, but keep going up until you get to three skull missions if you can handle it. I won't spolier it but trust me, the reward is worth it. I just roll straight salvage now. You can make a lot more money just selling back the mechs you...

3.5 Skull and up you'll start running into the frames large enough to mount LRM 20s to. I got lucky and took out the stalker pilot with injuries so I got the entire mech in one 4 skull mission, its also the only stalker I've ever seen. 50 LRMs raining down sounds like Chinese New Year in my...

@goishen I upgraded my catapult today :D

I get the same, gets worse after the game has been running for a while. Ive heard talk of a memory leak in the game, seems likely to me.

I figure if it gets cored might as well go out in a blaze of glory! It rarely gets shot at as I keep it out of harms way, just lobbing his 40 lrms per turn, but maybe I should move the ammo around a bit. @Sludig, Im not a huge fan of the Cicada, I usually don't like mechs at the bottom of their...

This thing is so much fun!

Not doing enough damage. I think Im just trying to have my cake and eat it too. I want it to be my tankiest mech but I also want it to do damage. I think Im just asking too much. Edit: Ok fixed the damage issues. Dropped the A/C 10 for 3xSRM6 and its a lot better. I think the tonnage on some of...

I havent been super impressed with my Orion so far to be honest. I think I may need to respec it. Currently got my bulwark pilot in it, and I fitted it with jump jets, max armor, and 2 M Laser, 1 L Laser and an A/C 10. I think my build kinda sucks, would be open to suggestions.

I spec´d out my Kintaro as a LRM boat with jump jets and lots of armor. Managed to still fit 2xLRM5 and a LRM 15 on it. I´m considering dropping the armor a bit to try and cram some more missiles onto it but I´m not sure that´s a great idea. It seems the AI gets a hard on for certain targets at...

Well, I must say I´m overall very happy with this game. It could for sure use some cleaning up with zoom animations, some hitching when the damage calculations are being performed, and the UI could be a lot better. That being said, I´m having a blast and haven´t played a game for as many...

No way to tell enemy pilot health. If you want to be knocking mechs down, build something with lots of missiles as they do the most stability damage. I stripped the Shadowhawk's base load out and fit it with 2xSRM6++ and an SRM4+ and a medium laser. The SRM6++ do 60 damage per volley and also...

Correct.

Its already 9am local for me on Tuesday and no bueno. Time zone stuff has been taken into account here.

Marauder was my jam back in Mechwarrior 1. The heat from those double PPCs was rough though!

Sadface, Im in Europe so that means evening for me. Ah well, thanks for the info.

Anyone know what time this unlocks tomorrow? Pre-loading as we speak and Im working from home tomorrow so I want to plan my day accordingly.

Seems like the most intersting set in a while, I´ve been enjoying watching the sealed that people are stremaing now anyways. Bring on the drafts online, I much prefer watching drafts to sealed on twitch.

The graphics aren't the best thing ever true, but it can look pretty nice at times. The night missions with the spotlights on the mechs can look pretty cool for example. Then again, it's also a strategy game, I don't need it look as nice as the new God of War or something. As long as I can put...

The embargo is off for streamers and Youtubers, and a lot of them have been given advance copies. Lots of new video/vod content out there to consume until this finally releases next week.

I don't understand life anymore, how did Barça blow that?? I was watching the Liverpool game so I have no idea what the game was like but I would have bet the house on Roma not pulling that off. Liverpool got lucky with that first offside goal for City, that ball clearly came off Milner so Sané...

Yeah, they sure did get wrecked in that 2013 semi-final.

Dude is a giant douche, but he sure can play. Ronaldo's goal was a bit better than the one our local hero, Guillaume Hoarau, scored on the weekend however his was nice too. I posted about this a couple weeks ago but my local team is on track to win their first title in 32 years. We tied with the...

My jimmies were rustled today by the motherfucking accordion player who sits outside my office and plays for money on the street every single goddman day. If I have to hear "Für Elise" one more time I might just snap.

How do you use cards you collected in a draft format, dont you open packs for a draft? Or am I being dense here?

I think that's the next logical step in marketing these games. I wonder if Fortnite paid Drake to play their game and tweet about it, it's entirely possible. But based on the numbers Ninja got with Drake and I think Shroud was over 50k last night while playing with Chandler, it only makes sense...

Yeah, it takes a few hours to get competent at this game, especially because how you learn is by getting into fights and you invariably lose those at the beginning. I´m also old and slow and bad at this game (I have like a 0.4 K:D ratio) but I dont think I got a kill in my first 20 games or so...

I could put up with some people shitting on me for the kind of money that guy pulls in. Pretty funny though.

Yeah, I also have the feeling that Wenger really will go at the end of the year this time. Winning FA cups is nice and all, but not qualifying for the CL is a financial problem for top tier teams. I just looked it up and making it to the group stage alone is worth 12.7m €, each win in the groups...

Europa Universalis IV - 1,982 hours Magic Duels - 702 hours Everquest - 650 hours Eve Online - 427 hours Civ V - 415 hours Trackmania - 398 hours X-Com - 364 hours Dota 2 - 356 hours Path of Exile - 198 hours X-Com 2 - 162 hours Was pretty surprised EU 4 was so far ahead. I know I played a lot...

I realize that no one here probably cares, but Im super pumped about my local team right now. They havent won the cup since 1987 and the league since 1986 and right now they just beat Basel (Man City's Champion League opponent) in the semi-final of the cup to get into the final and theyre in 1st...
