I remember in mechwarrior 2 pvp I did very well in small boys just setting that auto run and going in circles around the big guys while constantly lasering 1 leg till it blew and they fell over.

I won a few tournaments in the day using a light mech that just had an ER PPC on it, range 23 I think. I just stayed at that range with max movement and wore down the meds/heavies I got put against. People did get frustrated at me for mathing out every single place they could move each turn but hey, I won.
I want to see them edit the amount of missiles that hit in the rack, it was night/day back in the tabletop version.

So I take a 3 skull contract with travel. Get there after 15 days, it's now a 3.5 skull mission and Darius is warning I don''t have enough firepower.
Try it anyway. Twice it loads me with a different non-jumpjet mech on a rock... Ok never mind, reload.

It actually loaded my entire lance on an impassable cliff once, I was able to complete the mission with my three highlanders while the king crab cheered them on (didnt realize at the time that KCs can mount jump jets)

Get this thing up close and it just murders.

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.

No offence, but I don't see too much murder potential, it is probably one of the better builds you can do for it though. Though still kinda weak as far as specializing in anything other than looking funny.
I do almost wish I could go back to mostly medium mech maps with my own light/medium/heavy. Feels like I jumped too quick. Lost out on really getting a chance to use many of the 50-65 ton stuff. Even if I go low star planets, I imagine I'd still get kinda overwhelmed by the opposition using a "lesser" lance.

Against the same or lighter mechs, if you get an alpha strike on something, it's gonna be hurting. Against heavier mechs? Meh, not so much. I mean, it'll still hurt them, but not as badly.

I took off one of the SL, and put a SL++ on it. Same damage as a ML, with half the heat? Oh yah.

Sensor locks break evasion builds during the campaign unfortunately. You'll always end up facing a second lance or more reinforcements and you only need two sensor locks to negate most he evasion from max then it's gg for any light mech.

So found a bug. Had a davion mission i didnt have the rep for. So it was locked mission, one on planet and the campaign mission. Noticed on galaxy map that I could see the planet I didnt have the rep for the mission for. decided to travel there hoping for another mission to get me the last bit of rep. Instead as I opted to travel to the planet, it recognized it had a mission there, and allowed me to accept the contract despite not having the rep etc. I traveled and was able to launch the mission without it crashing or anything on me. My first fully 5 skull mission, hope my grasshopper/orion are up to it with the highlander/battlemaster. (Currently only 1 sniper so a little brawl heavy.)

Not a bug actually. Not having the rep means they won't pay for your transit and that is about it. So you have to just go there on your own coin and accept in person so to speak.

Yea the developer AMA claimed it was a "feature", but it sure would be fucking nice if they explained that shit anywhere. I spent so much time traveling around farming shitty 2-3 skull Taurian missions trying to raise my rep to take the 5 skulls before I realized I could just take the contracts with manual travel.
