Truth be told that's not damage smoke but overheat smoke. (Overheat smoke is lighter grey and very thin). I stuff heatsinks near all my weapons to crit-buffer them, which also creates that effect.

Damage smoke is much worse. The dark, almost black smoke around the Timber Wolf we killed is damage smoke (and thankfully disjointed like that 'cause it did a cartwheel! Woot! Cartwheel Madcat!)

Btw if you're on, jump on the Zhizhu TS. We could use a fourth lancemate.

Those mechs look great, especially the TBT and the blue quickdraw.

How do you handle filtering the smoke. What exactly do you do to give it density, and also minimize how it clouds up the picture.

I do not do anything. I just sift through the screenshots I take and pick what I consider to be the best.



Last images for the evening.

More Quickdraws.

I'd love to join. I'm at my parents' place visiting for a while, and internet here is not friendly. It keeps disconnecting every 5 minutes or so.

Which mech should we feature next?

[Chiasson Brinker]

Catapult and Cataphract?

[Lordred]

Both have been prominently featured, however I am sure we can sneak in some.

[IraqiWalker]

I would love to put my Commando in there (phranken paint scheme on a COM-2D looks amazing. Especially when it's just black and red

Have you done Jenners?

'Mandos

[Koniving]

Most of the thread has Catapults and Cataphracts; we even had a Yen Yang special of black/white and white/black Muromets. It might have been a bit some Catapults got featured, but there was a lot of really good ones from those on the first page to the ROFLPULT series of fully tricked out multi-launcher and heavily painted Catapults.

Roflpults.

Jenners have been done but not for a while. And Commandos have only been 'done' once. (Among the best shots on the thread even). I'll see about making sure mine are ready.

Last night, in addition to some Megamek fun, we tried some one on ones.

Dire Wolf versus Atlas.

Been running a 9xCERPPC DWF today. Has been quite hilarious for a joke build, the damage ranges between 100 and 500 for the most part.

However, the real fun is the suicide alpha. It's. just. GLORIOUS!

Next on my list is a 9xFlamer DWF. I know. definitely a bad set up, but where's the fun in not doing it?


If you see this slugger headed your way, RUN!

Pack in two Ultra twenties and not not as suicidal as one might think.

There you go trying to use logic and make builds viable! pshhh.

yeah, I'll do that.

[Wintersdark]

12 flamer 4 mg Nova. Its a joke build, but can actually output absurd DPS.

Cicadas and Jenners, please!

<.<; The reason LRMs can be so lousy at times is because we're throwing bowling pins at each other.

Same battle, from my end, Battle starts at 4:10, up till then we are just bullshitting.

Round 2 was 3PV only with no HUD.

Rounds 2 and 3.
Sadly Round 2's music somehow got relocated on the time bar so it's wrong and off (but too late to fix it).

Round 3's music plays as intended.
