wew shit is like night and day. thanks!

Figured out a nifty trick for saving LRM ammo, or being more efficient in the case of an LRM pilot with multishot. If you have the spare hardpoint, toss a plain old LRM 5 on your missile boats. When you need to knock down someone with a full stability meter, you just pop them with the LRM 5 and...

lol, not only did I finally run into an assault mech in a contract, it was a lance of 4 assault mechs. 2 highlanders, banshee, and an awesome (what a retarded name). Managed to find a small ridge to stand behind as they approached and picked them apart, got full salvage on everything except the...

All I have left is the final story mission, so I'll just start challenging the tougher contracts.

Light the shed on fire.

@Chysamere where'd you get that kingler and your other assault mechs, just from grinding contracts? Story missions haven't given me shit since the free highlander and the juiciest thing I've seen from random contracts so far was an orion.

When you make a called shot, the % it shows is your chance to hit the targeted spot on the mech, if you look closely it breaks down the odds of what body part you hit. Like if you have an 18% chance for a headshot, you're still about 70% likely to just hit center torso.

I started during the anniversary and knocked out all of the normals + some of the elites during half en, but I've been concentrating on renewals since they're limited and come with accessories + free 5* abilities and crafting mats. All of the normal renewals are done, and I'm about halfway...

stability generation needs to be nerfed but you shouldn't passively regain stability, should only clear your stability meter when you entrench.

Yeah I think that's what a lot of people don't understand. Some missions you are supposed to just nope the hell out of there when you see how much opposition is stacked up. Anyway I'd love to find the retarded faggot who decided the shuttle should randomly destroy mechs when it lands even...

Well just got my first major buttfucking from bullshit game mechanics. Enemy lance drops in, gets a free move towards me, then immediately goes into combat and gets to act again and they all focus on my zeus since it never got to act and they knock it down. The pilot ended up dying but I managed...

Stalled at 161, been slogging through as many renewals as I can stomach. kill me

TFW you're staring down a thunderbolt, battlemaster, and 7 supporting light mechs and start to sweat a little bit until Glitch one-shots the thunderbolt and the battlemaster on consecutive turns with the gauss rifle. Full battlemaster salvage ain't too shabby, although the hardpoints and spare...

I got Cid and Vanille USB in a single pull off FF13 which was $$$

ba-zing!

GL is such a fucking trash game, maybe the retardation of them rerunning the bahamut raid will finally be the incentive I needed to quit.

I was so happy to get full salvage off a catapult until I realized it's the K2 variant. Does this game even have the standard LRM catapult? I've seen the K2 three times now, have never seen the basic missile boat version.

I've temporarily kitted out the freebie highlander as a missile boat but with so much tonnage to work with and only two missile hardpoints it's not a very efficient loadout. Ended up filling the remaining tonnage with energy weapons for backup work but with that set of hardpoints a highlander is...

I got full salvage on the Zeus that attacks you in that mission by just repeatedly knocking it over lol

Shiny.

TBH I really don't see how they can incentivize small/med mech usage without it being stupid and arbitrary. Mechcommander 2 tried it for a couple missions and it didn't do much, the mission with minefields that wouldn't be set off by light mechs I just took big mechs, avoided the minefields, and...

Oh. Well I feel slightly better then. Kinda funny how rustled I was about missing out on that Dragon salvage the other day when I've gotten to the point where I can just buy them, which should be all the info I need to know they suck.

Came within spitting distance of full salvage on a cataphract, but i got too overzealous taking out the last leg and it overkilled into one of the side torsos. So now I've got two cataphract pieces that will rot for god knows how long until I run into another one lol

Dazzler > Colossus

iirc it was 10 times, you get 'captured' an extra time in Faith's territory.

Still woulda been my first heavy. Anyway feels like you should just always negotiate for full salvage unless you're desperate for money to upgrade the argo or in danger of not being able to make payroll. Guarantees you don't miss valuable mech salvage (like that catapult I missed) and the money...

So apparently this piece of shit game doesn't autosave during combat. Had a story mission going exceptionally well, had made it most of the way through the mission with no wounds and minimal mech damage and I think I managed full salvage on a dragon, which would have been my first heavy mech...

Figures that right after I make that comment about full salvage being pure luck, my first ever catapult shows up and I get full salvage on it. Except I negotiated the mission for pure c-bills. REEEEEEE Actually seems to happen every time I negotiate a c-bill contract, there ends up being great...

Try praying to Kerensky before each shot. I'm super happy when I get double salvage on a mech I want, no matter how skilled you get triples will always involve a lot of luck.

Yeah with the reinforcement bug I've been leery about going any higher than double skull missions. Even 1.5 skulls is a clusterfuck if I have to fight 6 fully armored mechs at once.

They aren't legal to own within any city limits. Even small towns out in the middle of farm country like mine that allow you to have all sorts of animals inside city limits don't allow you to have roosters. I guess 311 means animal control wherever you are, they must have some sort of backlog or...

woof. +dmg on LRM20s is so OP. I have a pair of LRM20++ but they're both crit/stability. Also don't have anything big enough to mount dual LRM20s without stripping so much armor off of it that a locust could probably bring it down in a single volley.

You're also retarded.

I hope some Mexicans move in next door to you with a rooster so you can get some perspective you whiny fuck.

Not to mention that due to hardpoint constraints, it's not like you'll be able to change much for a while anyway. This ain't Mechwarrior 3 or Mechcommander 2 where mechs just have a big blank 'tonnage' space that you can stuff whatever you want into it.

The (according to reddit super frequent) bug where reinforcements spawn immediately instead of after you've already engaged/started destroying the primary target is not something that should have made it through even rudimentary QA. Having to deal with 3 mediums and 3 lights at the same time...

None can stand before the might of Fyodor Kerensky, a mysterious exile from the deep periphery who commands his forces as if it were his birthright. Headcanon is fun.

All this Battletech talk makes me want to fire Mechcommander 2 back up. Just wish LRMs weren't so absurdly overpowered (and borderline mandatory).

Sounds like poor AI. From the point of view of the pilot of the enemy mechs the convoy escort is the threat, not the convoy. Once the escort has been taken out I can destroy the convoy at my leisure. My objective should be to survive my mission, not kamikaze just to make the other guy fail his.

It was a raid and it had a banner for the old DQ units as well as the new. Also had everyone's mogs in the raid gacha.
