I dunno, I woulda eaten that first one and then lied about how I caught it later in the bar. That looks like good eatin'!

Tell him its Shitposting SATURDAY, not Shitposting Sunday... :P

Take it off, eh?

Another sign is blurred out now- what did it say?

I'm blindly lashing out, dont harsh my creativity, cis-shitlord! Now give me that sippy-cup! :P

Apparently Gavinmad is a young whippersnapper to not recognize Fancy the bard. Someone get him a high-chair and a sippy cup! :P

I'm inclined to agree- especially if youre going short range you'll be eating a lot of fire, and not being knocked over and called-shotted into the floor is more important than a couple of lasers you barely have room for if youre packing twin AC20's anyway.

I find you can pull a couple of the double heatsinks on the atlas 2 to use elsewhere and free up space for gyros etc, at least with my setup

Sludig- well for sandbox play after the storyline you'll have an Atlas 2 which can run 2 AC10s' and 2 LRM 20s, so maybe 3 crabs and that?

Apparently what you should do, from an actual scientific paper, is to "just lie down and start screaming". Absurd Creature of the Week: If This Wasp Stings You, 'Just Lie Down and Start Screaming'

Got a stalker finally, tried a missile boat build, didnt really work for me I think. Not comfortable with the lack of armor getting more than LRM60 on it entails. Always want to be able to take a few hits in case of surprises.

Lord knows its what my friend does in his game. Then he bugs me to come watch his game so he can show it off on a 10 second delay. :P

Picture of would-be Amazon Princess Miss Euphoria Groats moments before she was failed out of archery class and told to never come back. :p

You know, I have been totally ignoring Stalkers having never been impressed by them, to the point I have a grand total of 1 Stalker part in storage. I'll see about actually completing one to see if it makes a better missile boat than my current Highlander LRM60, or if I think theres too much...

I run around in the Grasshopper, helps insure against accidents if I totally fuck up. The Highlander missile boat should have a Comm ++ in the head, just havent transferred it from my old Orion missile boat yet.

Goishen- The ammo dump one is one of the earlier story missions. The one people multi-failed is a late story mission about relieving a famine. (ok, people failed the ammo dump one some too, but not as much). Assaulting up the mountain was the second-last story mission to take down the guns...

I'd say the 6 MGs are better due to heat issues. The grasshopper runs pretty hot, and 3 more small lasers adding heat I think will push it over the edge, especially in warm biomes. Even with all MGs I'm giving serious consideration to stealing a double heatsink from my highlander for it.

Just one ton. Thats 6 full volleys and most of a 7th, which what with one thing and another is generally all you will get the chance to use. I've only ever run out of MG ammo maybe twice, and if you do manage to run out the enemy team as a whole is so trashed by that point that you can just...

It is indeed a 10 ton supersquishy precisely so a fast light mech can kill it. I used my highlander to deal with the 2 apcs coming around the dropship with only 2 turns to get to cap, my grasshopper assassin sprinted up the hill and jumped over the wall to take the barracks apc, my...

Yah, thats how I got me a hemorrhoid, too much wiping to get the last bit of brown out of the crinkles of my ass. Been on bidets and doing my daily dump before my morning shower for years now to stop that. Isnt blood in the stool usually black though, rather than red?

It helped that the japanese carriers just werent as good as the US carriers or even the brit carriers. The US had far better damage control, and the brits had decent damage control and armored flightdecks which were so effective the US adopted them. " The USN liaison officer on HMS...

I dont think that wire is going to be strong enough to keep me out...

Yeah, he did a normal playthrough for 24 episodes but found it too easy and the difficulty rating way too variable for his enjoyment, so he's starting this with lights only for the challenge.

Yah, the Banshee is not a good time. The reason is that (True to the original game) the engine required to give that thing the extra speed it has is fucking huge at that mech weight, and leaves a lot less space for weapons and armor than a slower mech of the same weight, and theres no mechanic...

Is there anywhere to get clan heat sinks besides off the highlander?

Its why I use an LRM5 on my scout- the finishing touch on whatever the LRM boat hit, if nobody else can do it for whatever reason.

Well the missile slot on a grasshopper is head only so only an LRM 5 or SRM2/4 will fit I think, and only if you dont want a cockpit

My grasshopper scout is designated as a scout mainly by virtue of the pilot having sensor lock and having decent speed and jump. Weapon-wise it runs a PPC and LRM5 for range, 2 medium lasers and 6 machineguns for the up close and personal touch. I scout to locate the enemy and sensor lock...

Well sensor locking for using my LRMS to pick off turrets from out of range and smash down things I dont wanna get close to for whatever reason is sort of the point. Earlier days I didnt want to let a hunchback get a shot off at me, nowadays I dont wanna talk to demolishers or give shreks a...

With a bit of careful pillaging and lucky spawns (2 orions in my last mission) and doing the star league castle finally, my lance has moved up to a Grasshopper melee critter for me, the highlander for my 2cnd tank, an orion for my missile boat, and a second grasshopper for my scout. Life is...

I'll give it a try when my Grasshopper comes out of refit. Had a mission called Hard Contact. Went in with my Grasshopper, my Thunderbolt 5S (with the machineguns), my Centurion missile boat and my scout in a Shadowhawk. Ran into an Orion, Demolisher, Shrek PPC and an LRM carrier as the...

During some of my refits I've wound up at -0.02 or some such below max weight- is there some way to add armor in single points to use that up or do I have to deal with fucking underweight messages for the rest of time?

Yup, I did the same kinda thing with Locusts with 3 medium lasers and the tactics skill-I'd just bomb around at speed 12 and use trees and ridgelines to make their target numbers 12 or higher and pew pew them down on 9's or 10's.

My arm mod is a +15% damage mod thats either weightless or 2 tons, I forget which. The Tbolts are doing solid work. Got lucky on those. One was from old pirates coming out of retirement, I forget what got me the other except that it was within 2-3 missions of the first one.

Seen my first 2 orions in back to back missions, but one had a 2-salvage max and the other was on 1 salvage and theyre different models. :P Seen another centurion but had to destroy it so only 1 salvage there. The MG Grasshopper works well enough. Gave it a gyro and my only arm booster...

Ah, is missile boating what the Kintaro is good at? Better than the Centurion or no? I have only seen 2-3 of them but maybe I'll pay attention to getting one if the stars align. (just had one in the last mission but I was on max cash)

I think the key to multimissions is upgrading the Argo's engines so you spend less time in transit, but its too soon to be sure. I got 3 last system and 4 in this one, but those are the first places I've been after doing the engines. I'll keep you updated as things progress.

I know, but there were 3 other missions waiting in that system after the one I came for and I dont want to risk any of them poofing while I'm refitting. Had that problem a fair bit earlier only being able to get 2 missions per system before jobs dried up, which meant that one of the jobs was...

It was a good planet shift for me to build cash before doing Served Cold. Got not one but two thunderbolts a couple of missions before the grasshopper, so my max weight has gone up a noticeable chunk in the past half dozen missions. Didnt have either of the bolts for the grasshopper though-...
