Do I just get the XL version of my current?

It depends on your build. General concensus is that you try to fit the biggest one you can in as speed is life for a light. That said however, you may want to keep the same engine class if you are simply in need of that much tonnage. General rule though, do not make your Commando slower than ~120-130 kph minimum.

got him into an XL 195 (139Kph with Speed Tweak). Along with a mean SRM punch.

Nice, I saw the build after I posted. That should work really well

[bad arcade kitty]

so, about 360 degrees retention module

is it good for streak boats? i mean right now i lose the lock if target goes ~30-40+ degrees or so (not sure) from the focus, if i can keep the lock regardless of how that annoying light whirls around or if i keep lock being able to shake my mech torso to spread damage it would be great, would pick over seismic 10/10

you cannot keep the lock, but you can keep the target lock which means you can more quickly reaquire your lock especially if you have artemis equipped.

It was made this way specifically to make sure that it can't be abused by mechs like streakcats.

For the record. If you install Artemis on your streak mech, the lock on bonus will apply to them with no cost to your launchers' weight, or slots.

(all missiles are part of the same tree right now, so Artemis impacts all of them)

i know it ty
i also use tag laser on my crows, allows me to earn additional money for tag damage and tag kills as well as speeding up (afaik) my locks and also giving locks to lurm boats
anyway any other laser would decrease the whole dps, i tested with a heat simulator

[mailin]

Hmm. I use target retention on my streak mechs, and I really like what it does for them. But, I've never done any solid comparison, so it's purely anecdotal.

no it is far from useless but is more aimed at scouts or brawlers than missile Mech, it just does not allow you to keep missile lock on a target behind you, much the same as you cannot fire any other weapon at a target behind you,

As far as I know this only applies if you have LRMs as well due to the shared lock. May have been changed at some point, but that's how I remember it.

hm, never heard it before
people on the forum suggest to use arthemis, metamechs suggest it too (giving an example build without any lrm), nobody mentioned that it needs lrm-launchers

For the resistance packs, do you get to choose which mech you get in the bundle, like for example if I buy the Fire Pack, does it come default with three types of panthers, or can I choose to have three types of Zeus's?

You can't choose. The Fire pack is always Panthers, the second Panthers and Enforcers, etc.

If you want just Zeuses, you have to choose the a la carte option.
