Um, which ones for the FRR?


Theres a number of threads devoted to this in the Free Rasalhague Republic section of the forums.. (I helped contribute to a few of them).. http://mwomercs.com/...hague-republic/

Some of them may have been necro'd but they should all be there somewhere!

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...039fb18cf89f372

There is a blue value with 81 kph and a green one 89,1. How can i achieve that speed?

When you unlock the speed tweak skill in the pilot tree wich increases mech speed by 20%
The green value is stock engine speed, the blue one is the tweaked speed.

I'm having an issue with Camo loadouts. No matter what camo I try to preview, I get a quick flash of the camo and the mech goes right back to the default green color. Any one else have this issue and if so, is their a fix for it?

I red all this thread and found it very useful. I also liked the external links where I learnt not only about the game but also about the lore and the tech behind mechs.
A bit disappointed when I learnt that they work with plastic muscles instead of gears, hydraulic cylinders etc... ;)

My questions:
1 - A mech weights 35 tons and has a top speed of 97 kph. If I remove armor or weapons until it weights 25 why doesn't it get to, for example 100 kph? I tried it once to run faster but nothing changed.

2 - During a match a player got upset because killed while shutdown, he said you don't do that. Is there some kind of rules of engagment? I found sometimes my enemy waiting for me to be back online before attacking, so if there is a kind of honor code I would like to know about it.

Thank you in advance

I've heard that said before as well, but I don't agree with it. I'm trying to destroy you. Hell no, I'm not gonna stop because you overheated. Overheating to the point of shutdown is your mistake, not mine.

Game mechanic limitations + exploit denial + several other things which slip my mind.

I am sure someone else will come along briefly and give a better answer though.

Hmmm, never saw this one before. Assuming you aren't click out of the camo preview, then it would most likely be a bug. I would make sure you update your drivers, video and flash, and if it keeps happening report it via the Support link at the top of the screen.

What they said. Some people may have a personal code of honor, but it's not against the rules or code of conduct, and as Geek said, their mistake, not yours. The winner of a battle is usually the guy who makes the least mistakes ;)

Also, Shar pretty much nailed it. Mech speed is based on the chassis weight, not the actual or current weight.

I agree with this. I'm, glad it is not a rule of conduct.
otherwise I could just run in the middle of an assult lance and shoot until overheating, when I shutdown all of them will have to wait for me to be ready again!

Are you using a trial mech? You can't change it's camo

I don't think you can even try to change the camo colors of a trial mech. Not unless some bug allows you to try it now.

Edit: I discovered it. What's going on is the person is trying to change patterns which some of them will change your colors. But new to MWO and not properly implemented is keeping your pattern rather than making the price astronomical by throwing expensive premium colors in with each pattern which scares people from buying it.

Now it "slinks" you back to what colors you had within a fraction of a second of selecting a pattern.

Person with the issue, you need to click away from "Pattern mode" and choose "Color mode" (the four square tab next to the skull) so that you can change your colors.

When I get dropped from the game by getting a black screen crash while launching a drop (never making it to the ready screen), does it count as a death/loss, or win for that matter, affecting my KDR (kill-death-ratio)?

I always unlock Cool Run and Heat containment first, then anchor turn, then twist speed, and the rest in no particular order. Unless you're running something super low-heat like all machine guns, you'll benefit greatly from the heat related skills.

not sure. I suppose it depends on whether the team you should have been on won or lost, and whether your mech was destroyed or not. you would have to watch your stats page very closely and drop with a teammate to record whether a match was a win or a loss and whether your mech was destroyed if you needed to find out.

Depends what you're running, not all mediums are alike. A module good for one playstyle can be useless for another.

The pick of the litter:
Advanced Zoom: 4x zoom (one button press in and out) with a window that gives (IIRC) 5x zoom in the centre. Can be good for long range builds.
Target Decay: Increases time before lock on loss after target leaves sight. Great for LRM builds, useful for SSRM builds. Might be good for poptart builds as well depending on how fast your tarting is.
Seismic Sensor: Shows enemy mechs movement on the minimap whilst stationary. Not the be all and end all ridiculously overpowered game changer it once was, but still incredibly useful.
Target Info Gathering: Enemy damage and weapon loadout appears 25% faster. Definitely useful, but not quite a game changer.


Situational:
360 target retention: Notice it's retention of target information, not retention of lock. Maybe useful if you're spotting LRMs for allies, otherwise not worth it.
Sensor range: Allows you to achieve locks at a range where your missiles will never hit before the enemy gets to cover and see damage/weapon readouts too far away to accurately place fire to use it. Might be useful for scouts on the large maps.
Consumable Upgrades: Almost mandatory if you want to use consumables effectively. Completely useless if you're still at a point where you want to be making c-bills.
Capture accelerator: What it says on the tin. Good if you play conquest, not worth it otherwise.


Avoid:
Hill climb: Makes you slow down climbing hills a staggering 10% less.
Improved Gyros: General consensus seems to be it's useless. 33% less screen shake, but you still get just as much smoke and explosion.


Keep in mind however that after you unlock pilot modules you still need to buy them and they cost 2-6 million.

No but nobody really cares about KDR in this game. It's a team based game, not an individual one.

For example, I am not a great pilot, but I don't totally suck either. Last I looked (just to make a point similar to this, so been a while) it was .33.

Which is low obviously. Yet that's mainly because if you die with 10 assists and 0 kills, your KDR goes down. If you die with 1 kill and 0 assists, it stays even, yet who would you rather have on your team? Some guy who holds back so he doesn't die, or rushes in to face hug the wounded enemy mech so as to block incoming fire so he can get the kill, or a guy who focus fires and helps win the match even if it means he dies or doesn't get any kills?

Yea completely useless on Assault, I mean who wants to win and get a bonus 75 XP for Capturing the base and another 50 XP for helping cap the base.
