On a better note, I got some good career mode in last night. Still haven't gotten another medium. But I did get an extra Jenner, Panther and Firestarter! So far I've only deployed the Panther. Armored him up to max, threw 4 M Lasers on him and an SRM6. Only two jump jets just for some hill climbing. But he's mostly going to be grounded.
He actually replaced my Commando that bit the dust in a bad way. It's lost an arm, most of it's armor, was just going to take one more shot to kill him. And like an absolute imbecile, I thought I could sensor sweep and run away.
You cannot sensor sweep then run.
My turn with him immediately ended after the sensor sweep, standing right next to the enemy Firestarter, no evasion pips, totally exposed.
So yeah, he died. Badly. My first loss.
Still, it was only the Commando so I'm not too broken up over it. The rest of my missions went not terribly. Was able to fly threw a few milk runs taking no internal damage and getting some good salvage. Although I recently flew to a planet with a lot of 2 skull missions, and I can only deploy 1.5 skulls worth of troops. So it's time to take chances!
So, MWO.
Can you not remove JJ? I bought the Nova that had AMS, and swapped in some PPCs. After about 8 matches, my thumb hit space and to my surprise I lurched into the air. Post match I thought "if I cut those out and weld in some heat sinks I can shoot my shooters more faster!" but it says jump jets are unchangeable?
Name in MWO is same as on here, but no stompy for me tonight, used up my weekly "ignore toddler time" already.

Omnimech jump jets are integrated equipment. The only way to remove them is to find an omnipod that doesn't have them and swap the omnipod. However, the Nova doesn't have the necessary omnipod to remove jump jets.

Welcome to the world of Omnimechs!
Basicly in Battletech there are Battlemechs and Omnimechs.
Battlemechs can change out every piece of gear, but have locked hardpoints.
Omnimechs have fixed gear. Engine size/type, chassis and armor are all fixed, and on top of that it usually has some fixed gear in the form of heatsinks and sometimes jumpjets. On the plus side it can mix-and-match omnipods (which contain all the hardpoints) freely between different variants.
In MWO (right now) only the clans have omnimechs, and the clans have a mixture between omnimechs and battlemechs.
Most battlemechs are either heritage designs from pre-exodus, totem mechs designed to reflect the spirit of the clan (there are totem omnimechs though) and export-oriented mechs (like the Mad Cat II)

Its pros and cons. The jumpjets are good on that mech though. A couple more heatsinks wont stop that mech from running hot so you should hit and run. JJs help you there.
Still kinda surprised we don’t have any IS Omnis in game yet, if they do bump to Jihad tech we’ll start to see ones with LFE engines though.
Its too early still, but not by much. They're still in the Clan invasion which means that there's some omni mech salvage in an engineering bay that IS mechanics are scratching their heads over.

Yeah but we’re up to LFE and RACs which is why I’m confused.
Edit: to clarify, my confusion is from how they’re jumping around with the tech and introducing mechs and weapons from much later (Fedcom Civil War).
It gets a little toasty (and you definitely want the magazine capacity nodes ASAP...like, maybe on the same priority as enhanced ECM), but with trigger discipline, this thing is a monster.
Erlkönig on

Seeing some rarer faces in here with the release of Flashpoint so since its Wednesday I thought I'd take a moment to pimp our weekly THURSDAY NIGHT MECH FUCKSTRAVAGANZA
6:30 PST we do weekly group games in Mech Warrior Online, all welcome. You might ask:
Do I need to be good at MWO or have played it before?: No
Do I need to have MWO installed on my computer?: possibly
How serious is it/is it ok if I suck?: Its ok, every company needs its cannon fodder
How long do you play?: Usually about 1.5 hours, but we've gone longer. Drop in and out as much as you like
How do I join up?: If you don't have any PAers in your friends list the easiest way would be to post here with your pilot name. I keep an eye on the thread while we're playing.
Is there a discord: oh boy howdy is there, but if you're looking for the voice chat program yup. Its in the thread OP.
I was born out of the sexual union between a human male and female in a biologically natural process: disgusting.
"Erlkönig" so which Blood Asp should I buy? I know you had a favorite, just can't remember which.
A viable version is linked by someone a page or two back in this thread.
Went back through to page 13...couldn't find a Blood Asp build mentioned.
The alternative to the one I posted would be to swap the LB20Xes for gauss rifles. Another alternative (if you want to keep the LB20Xes) would be to drop two ERMLs to pick up two more DHS to keep you firing for longer.
My Blood Asp-B build swapped in the -D left and right torsos. 3xUAC5/1xUAC10. ECM Dakka get. My Rancor is 2xATM12/6MPLs. My new Fafnir is that build from Larsh's video I linked a couple pages back.
I had four mechs in mechbay: Vindicator, Centaur, Blackjack and Firestarter. I readied a Jenner from storage and once that job finished, it took the place of my Firestarter instead of appearing in one of the two empty slots. Firestarter completely vanished with all of its weapons and equipment without appearing in my storage. I think the slot it appeared in was the slot it was in before I sent it to the storage.
Good thing I wasn't playing Ironman and had a save 1 day before this.

@Erlkönig so which Blood Asp should I buy? I know you had a favorite, just can't remember which.

Personally, I run the Prime because I have the Prime(S) (and I love me my boosted Cbill rewards).
If I could have that boost on the -A variant, I would be exclusively piloting the -A.
2xLB20X (using Prime torsos)
6xERML (using Prime arms)
ECM
1 Jump Jet
