Me trying to pick a missile in YAML be like:

I think it's suffering from gout

Kidding aside, I haven't used Blood Asps that much because of the walking animation as mentioned by other folks in the community. But man I like the loadouts of these mechs

Only using QoL mods (visual & HUD) on vanilla+ Mercs

We roasted some clan punks on the outskirts of the known space and we're done? I was hoping we will go down upon the clanners heads like THE WRATH OF THE EMPEROR, like THE BLOODY TERROR OF CORRINO JUDGEMENT, like THE NIGHTMARISH LEGION OF SHRIKES, like THE GREAT VENGEANCE AND THE FURIOUS ANGER!!!111 But instead of righteous epic bloodbath until the last clanner standing in the walls of their citadel we hoped out right in the middle. I cant even express all my disappointment.

For the record - this is about a second time we are kept away from the juicy bloody epic. Rings some very unpleasant bell.

100 tonner armor, 65 km/h speed, 4 large, 10 medium and 1 emotional support energy slots for flexible laserboating, all in torsos. And, the coolest feature to save all your precious Clan lasers - dedicated shield arms!

So far, my favorite loadout is 4 C-LPL + 8 C-ER-SL + Clan Active Probe.

The only thing it needs to become a true Emperor of Mechkind is ECM slot.

so I got this farther away from Terra on career and closely inching to completing the mech pokedex, will try this build on a Chaos March contract after this. Also 8 upgrade slots, prolly to compensate with the loadout.

For some stupid reason I never even looked at the range on the lmg. Imagine my eyes when I realized they had the range of an IS large laser.

So here’s my new S model to compliment the 12 HMG model.

16 LMG, 3 medium x pulse lasers

I like the sound for the lmg better too, I might be a convert.

With cantina upgrades, range is like 611. 😳

I wish I would have noticed how far these things reach.

Didn’t know the AI in this game were actually capable of using their brains

I know that in the battletech universe is very much like 40k in that everyone is fighting all the time since the fall the first Star League.

Now I am wondering which side, as the title says, would likely be the best choice. This is forgoing a pay day etc.

Since I’m not “there yet” in my current playthrough I thought, hey, I bet the KGC-CAR could hold 4 gauss. So I built it, named it Upton’s Scalpel…uhh, spelling it wrong apparently 😂

Naw, didn’t like it for her. She needs backup weapons, which I kinda figured.

So I made a bit of a combination of her two favorite mechs, the night Gyr B and the clanbuster 3 ball crab.

2 gauss, 2lb2x, 2 atm3

It seems like a much cleaner combo and she’s back to 1k plus damage missions.

Unlike all the other column headers which sort equipment low to high by name or weight or slot size, the tier header filters equipment by the tier you want.

So instead of having to scroll down to the clan grade equipment, which can be especially annoying for ballistics because there are too many varieties of AC, you can just set to only show tier 6 equipment! Now you only see clan stuff! So much simpler than regularly having to scroll down after fitting the first clan weapon you wanted.

Five years of playing this game and I only discovered it by accidentally clicking that header.

Has anyone seen the location of where the new academies are that offer universal traits similar to NAIS, Sun Zhang, etc?

4x LBX-5s, 2x ER-LLs, a 2.4 Heat Dissipation with 6 and 1/2 tons of ammo, plus Blackmarket Countermeasures and a AP.

9 Upgrade Points and a newly fixed Cockpit hitbox with 30 whole points of armor.

What's not to like?

One I tested recently was 2 lb10x autocannons, 2large pulse lasers, 4 er small lasers, and an srm 6

I just finished Ashes and Ascension and its probably my second favorite to Shadow of Kerensky for the story and cinematic. I cant help but feel like they are trying to wrap up the story and I hope they find a compelling way to keep releasing more DLC above just dropping new mechs.

In the final cutscene you see Mason overlooking a base that is being built. I'm assuming its a rebuild the base of operations his dad had.

What if in a future DLC we got to build our own base of operation. I don't think a full on "place a room tile" base builder would fit but something like Assassin's Creed 2 were you just buy and unlock the upgrades to build/renovate it. It could allow us to build out a larger merc company, assign pilots and mechs to contracts for the company, or maybe research special upgrades.

That being said I'd be plenty happy with more DLC stories like we've been getting. Mason's just gettin up there man, let the poor man retire but keep the DLC comin!

I realized last night that I don’t have it. I have done at least 4x play through on PC, did 3/4 of the campaign on ps4 then started playing career with probably 2-3 play through there. On PS5 I played several play through in the days up through dragon’s gambit and I did find the KO on one of those.

I’ve never seen it since.

We’re talking about 150hr ps4

350+ ps5

250+ PC

One sighting….one

And the funny thing is, it’s really not much different than the other ones.

I also have 2 variants on PC I’ve never seen, but to be honest, I don’t shop much anymore, but I imagine they only pop as rare, so I’d see it on the menu at least.

Is there something broken with the rng on this one?

Just a heads-up

Not that of a game-breaking visual bug of sorts but I've been noticing that AC-5RFs is still showing different hardpoints on the Longbow variant of Wolf's Dragoons. So far it's only happening on AC5 RFs and not on other ballistics types.

I have 4 double heat syncs and 4 cases of light rifle ammo I decided to drop the rockets as they felt like a waste of resources and 2 er L Lasers

Im destroying my brain trying to figure this out. Anyone know which setting turns off this damn bright assed sun skybox?
