When you win a Mech through a Supply Cash, do you also get a Mech Bay along with it?

Almost all occasions where you receive a 'mech, other than by buying it for CBills or MC, you will get a Mech Bay as well. Loyalty 'mechs, pre-oredered/pack 'mechs, bonus 'mechs, prize 'mechs, all of them come with a Mech Bay.

There is an arm lock toggle you can bind to a key. They are telling you to make sure that button is bound to some kind of key before entering into the Academy. Reason being is if you don't, you can't finish the tutorial.

I placed my toggle to some random button for the academy session, and then because it's on a button I never use anyway, I just left it.

Right shift is a likely reasonable key to bind it to. Just a suggestion.


Thanks, mated, I will try that when I am in-game next.

If your targeting computer is being destroyed, do its boni still apply? Or rephrased: Can I put my big *** TCV into my armor-free arm and stuff the rest of my mech with weapons and heatsinks WITHOUT dealing with consequences after losing the arm?

I can't find reliable information about this, it seems it WAS like this some year(s) ago, has this been fixed?

Being equipment, it should stop working once the containing component is destroyed. Just like JJs, MASC, APs, ECM, etc.

Consider it like a weapon system. It needs to be there to work.

Are there any restrictions on making multiple accounts? I'm tempted to start another one for no particular reason

PGI only seems to dislike alt accounts when they are being used to cheat/boost other accounts OR they are being used by somebody trying to skirt a perma-ban.

They've actually said that anyone permabanned (like those booted in the cheating ban wave) is welcome to start a new account as long as they keep their nose clean.

Well if they could keep their nose clean they would not keep getting banned, would they?

At the least, it seems you get a much shorter leash the 2nd (or 3rd, 4th, etc etc) time around.

I could give specific examples, but that would a violation of "name and shame" wouldnt it?

Shorter leash seems reasonable to me. <shrug>

(And yeah but I'm aware of them too)

If I have a STD 250, when I switch to DHS do the 10 Internal heat sinks also become 2.0?

All Heat sinks on the mech are removed, and the auto-installed ones in the engine (in this case 10) are changed automatically. The ones built into the engine are better than any installed externally (or added into extra engine heat sink slots, for really large engines).

In short, yes.

You have to otherwise there'd be issues with delivering, so yes.

Yes.

Keep in mind that with double heatsinks, if you have anything less than a 250 engine you are effectively jinxing the maximum potential of the 10 heatsinks you're required to have.

....The opposite is true for standard heatsinks. Honestly not sure why this was the design choice they went with, but... they did.

Better as in you get more threshold and cooling power (a 0.5 per heatsink difference typically) than otherwise.

what can cause me to lose lock, when they're 10-50 meters in front of me, and never out of visual ?

wish I had a recorder, to show it happening , it was strange thing to see happening , watch the mechs butt, and the target recital and lock disappears .

I hope it was some counter, going to be really upset if it was a hack

was some kind of anti Streak counter, & I wanna know it (if legit)
