    anyone know if gift codes are supposed to show up on your redeemed page as redeemed after you enter them?

    I redeemed a code last night and still hasn't shown up on my account, or will it only show up when the package is released? I wont get premium until then either?

    yeah, I know.

    Seriously considering dropping the SRM and ammo so I can put 4 more tons of LRM ammo on. That probably wont be enough either though.

    Hmm..I could drop the SRMs and ammo and try to squeeze in a third LRM10..

    more than 40 salvos generally speaking is overkill; you're just not gonna have enough time on target to fire all those missiles.

    Im still wondering when my MC perks will show up from the karma koin thing. For a pack, you dont get it till its released. So when mech one comes out, youll get it and the premium time banked... I think.

    For pub play, sure. As part of a thoughtfully constructed CW drop deck, it can give you a fast ECM light while freeing up tonnage for another mech in your setup. It's not a first pick, but it's worthy of consideration.

    My mech loadout is on the fat end of things, so I was just looking for a cheap light that I could have some fun with.

    Is there another light you'd recommend in the 2mil range?

    it's nothing really terribly interesting; it's limited to ~150k/h and doesn't do anything interesting in terms of weapons really. You can go ecm/narc and go full scout with it, which might be kind of amusing

    ah screw it, I bought the ecm commando. its only 1.7mil.

  • NipsNips He/Him Luxuriating in existential crisis.Registered User regular
    My ECM COM, though this was built pre-quirk. The weapons loadout, to Pig's point, is kind of whatever. Max the engine, throw on ECM, and then whatever you want with the paltry leftover space and hardpoints. I've tried Streaks, LRMs, SRMs, Medium Laser, MPLs, and Large Lasers, and everything's just about even. So go with a mix you like.

    Yea. If you dont like jenners, i doubt youd like commandos. I havent run mine since the days of Streak retardedness and wed wolf pack in groups of 3-4. Hiiiiilarious.

    Should have saved for the Raven 3L. Its decent with 2 ERLL. Great poker. No brawling required.

    Always factor an extra 1.5 mil + whatever engine you need to make a build viable. Unless you just need a couple cheapies to grind through to make elite level perks.

    I cheat and get champion mechs when their on sale when they have an odd sized XL that would be useful. I hate buying XLs for cbills when its not part of a mech purchase. Make builds around the engines you have and dont buy mechs that need an engine you dont have. Mech buyers remorse sucks. Took me a few stinkers to learn my lesson. FUCK YOU TREBUCHET!

    If i would have seen your post in time i would have said to get the spider D. Its still a bitch to hit.

    I just wanted another light to fill out my stable, as the only light I had before was the Kitfox.

    Like I said, my stable is kind of top heavy in regards to weight, so was just trying to balance it out. It wont be terrible, probably be better with oosiks, drop it back to 150std and put a LRM5 and a ML or something on it and stay at range poking and providing ecm coverage.
