[BATTLETECH/MechWarrior] Sea Fox merchants buy PGI lostech using Terra-based shell company
Posts
The only thing better than piloting a gauss build is piloting a heavy gauss build. It's why I turned my Warhammer-Black Widow into a slug that gets outpaced by an Atlas and I just can't bring myself to downgrade my weapons to regular gauss.
I’ve done this in a Thanatos and a Catapult (C2)
I found that I worked better with double LB-20X instead but dual HGR is still great for the mech eraser experience.
I'm thinking of buying a new mech to ride around in but I have no specific ideas of which. Trying a new mech seems like the best use of time for a stream.

I vote a Flea. They're tiny, annoying (with the ECM) and if you want to be even more annoying equip a Light PPC on it and shoot peas at everybody.
Seriously though there is one variant that I think I run like 6SPL and 1SL or something like that which is fun. Another I run with 6MGs and a ML (I think, could be a SL). They are so ignored that you'll seem to be invisible for the most part.
Another fun light is the ECM Commando. 3SRM2s and Stealth Armor is quite hilarious.
I always go light mechs because the queue is usually really short and I love speed.

WLF-GR or LCT-PB if you have MC to spare
Speed is life.
And they cost... under a million a pop. Oof. That bad, eh?

You pay a good amount to make them useful, most of them have 3025 IS tech base gear like standard engines, single heat sinks, and standard internal structure
That being said, Commandos have amazing hit boxes and are a staple in comp play (especially the COM-1D and COM-2D).
Yep, as we used to jokingly called it the IS tax.

Edit: If you really wanna go hard mode, try running a Panther. Useful and a scary early enemy in Battletech, practically worthless in MWO.

I have one Panther that I swap duty with. Either 2 ERPPCs or my normal 2Snubnose PPCs. If I want to do some assist farming I usually go with the ERs.

To my Fafnir.
They were very unfortunately scouted in the Steiner style.
I want one but I dunno which.

This is like, a proud (braindead) pubbie tradition!
Serious answer: don’t get one.
Their agility is abysmal, their hit boxes are gigantic, and they’re massive fire magnets.
Wait until we see if PGI goes through the trouble of rebalancing the underperformers first.
Alternatively, it looks super cool.
I have one with dual LBX20 and it is hilarious. My first Assault.
Honestly curious to see what people say. I'm starting to think about trying that mod as well.
But dang it looks cool in my stable.
UH, remind me in a week or so and I can at least offer my feedback.
Yeah
I have three of them
They just... die
If I'm very lucky I get to pull the trigger a few times before the dying thing happens

I messed around with it a little. I only used the 3025 start, so I can’t offer any feedback on year. My biggest piece of advice would be to use the advanced company start. That gives you a starting lance with a weight more like the standard career. If you don’t, you’re probably going to be stuck with super light mechs for a while. Maybe you like having to field Wasps and Stingers, I don’t.
Also, I’d leave the parts required for ‘Mech completion at 3. With increased variety of chassis and more variants per chassis it can be very tough to assemble new mechs.
Oh, and don’t do Ambush Convoy missions. They put hovercraft in the vehicle pools for those, so you can wind up losing the mission on turn 2 because those things are FAST.
It takes about 10 seconds for a KDK-3 to hit full speed from a dead stop.
You need to hit cap on all of the accel, decel, and torso speed nodes in the mobility tree to even approach the mobility of the MCII-B. Even then you still have the worst acceleration in the game.
Just, y'know...don't let a light get in and leg-hump you.
Yep, all the other Assaults have the same loadouts and do it better.

That is an advantage, but it's easy to overshoot the hill peek with the bad decel, and then moving back to cover can be difficult thanks to the glacial accel.
I now know what to do with my first Dire Wolf since I benched it for the UV. Thanks for this.

Good point, I should do the same. Especially since people will assume the UV is the sandblaster till it is too late.
