Haven't bought any Clan AC yet - only used what I have scrounged off what the mechs came with.

Buying some more is moving up my schedule though - if only to help finish the Elites for my Dire Wolves.

[FogOfW4r]

So you just use ppc? Unless you mean you use the stuff from all the clan 'mechs you have.

[Alaskan Nobody]

That is what I meant - stripping stuff off the other mechs

You save a LOT of cbills that way (though swapping stuff around can take forever)

Yeah, I regret the many times I sold (and still do..trying to stop) a few weapons when I needed 100-200k for another weapon or 'mech.

[Alaskan Nobody]

They may not cost much - but it adds up.

[XphR]

Did you ever get another group together? I still feel bad about the way you got ousted from the lance.

[StompingOnTanks]

Why do you all have half-eaten cupcakes in your cockpits? Either throw it out for finish the damn thing! Slobs.

[XphR]

Next time you get in my mech, wipe your feet off first. I have allergies.

Is it bad I've already given up on the Lance Challenge?

[StompingOnTanks]

I finally figured out what it is I hate about this game that makes me not want to play it.

It's the locking mechs after exiting a match.

That is literally the most STUPID thing I have ever seen in a game.

WHY does it have to be that way? Why can't I just die and immediately rejoin the queue? There's just no excuse. I can do it in Robocraft and War Thunder and it works great! Why not here? The long wait between games where I can't use my preferred mech of the moment is just infuriating and all it does is extend the waiting time between matches with the already slow matchmaker.

I get completely screwed over if I run into bad luck or try a bold move and die at the beginning of the match. I hate it.

Yes,
I made 532 points last night. Over half of that was with (the real)Johnny Z, KaffkaSyrup and ZNine and no v-com. I implore you to give it another try, you have 72 more hours(Ill see if I can help)!

I would say it has to do with repair and rearm logistics and being in more than one place at once and being an anti-farming mechanism.. But thats all been systematically removed.

So what I will say is, group play. It becomes a non issue in all but the worst case scenarios, your whole group is being wiped out early on.. otherwise the match continues to completion and your group launches again(perhaps after a retune{this being the annoying part you can not die retune and be ready for you group when they get back}).

Personally Ive left very few matches directly after death, I use that time to observe my team and learn what I can about the other team (Ive even picked up a few friends from the opposing force after being impressed with their gall or valor).

I will add in closing, sometimes I die at the beginning of the match too and everyone goes on to win, or loose and we launch again never much more than sixteen minutes later(aka I hope we still manage to play some time{and not let this silly mechanic that wont even be as much of a nuisance at that time, get in the way}).

Sure pal, I'd love to play with you. I've been getting back into it today. If you're on later we can group up.

cSand sent me an invite right before I went to bed - but that would have pushed his group up to 5 men, so I took my leave.

251.

Your scores impressive! (and highlights how poorly I was playing )

[StompingOnTanks]

Does anyone know if the devs said anything about including the Enforcer in-game? Being my favorite TT mech and all...

[990Dreams]

I'd rather have the Fire Moth or the Wolfhound first.

[StompingOnTanks]

You can't argue with 50 tons with arm mounted AC/10, LL and four jumpjets. I tried doing a AC/10 + LL build on my Centurions but it's just not the same.

[Alaskan Nobody]

Enforcer would be fun

[StompingOnTanks]

So I ordered some iPanel 7's for my BattleMechs but when they arrived they were all twisted more or less into a pretzel shape. The installation manual does not address this.

[990Dreams]

I have over 320k XP banked on my Jagerbomb. I'm gonna run dual Gauss on the JM6-S, any good builds for the JM6-A? (preferably cheap and without XL)

[Alaskan Nobody]

What's an iPanel 7?

I googled it, but all I got was Apple's support sites

Smurfy isn't liking me now (the site, not the guy) but I ran mine with 4LRM 5 2AC5, and 2ML (don't remember the engine)

Fire support role, obviously.
