Remindsm e again that FP ihas never gotten the attention from PGI.

But it anoys me that get put away from FP once i have done a game.
Can't we just go backto the faction play Area.

Ps: i guess ith the new mode and maps comin up, it was allready a sign that FP is was it is and never get's improved to hat it could be.

I want to get back to FP. I just need to get all four Clan Mechs or Omnimechs optimized.

Are any of them 55 Tons or lighter? If so, take them to Scouting and quickly collect some of what you need there.

As for the ones that are 60 Tons or heavier, you can still take them into Invasion. Just make sure to explain to your team that the Mech is NOT fully skilled, and that you'll probably have to run more of a Support-type role. Then don't try to outright 'facetank' the enemy. You should be reasonably alright after that.

You don't have to block yourself from Faction-based battles due to Non-Mastered Mechs.

Nice event. People running around in scouting with streaks. Not to kill or win, just to get max damage for the 100 match score.

No you don't, but it still feels like trying to race a Yugo against a Ferrari when you do it.

Me personally, I'm not bringing any more new mechs without at least 21 skill nodes unlocked. Unless it's a stupid cool ballistic build.

And the sad thing is... 100 match score doesn't take streaks or ATMs. All you need for it in Scouting is crank out 200 damage, even on a loss.

You've had different mileage than me. I've been seeing a real smattering of Non-SSRM, Non-Missile, and generally Non-Locking Weapons. Mostly ballistics/lasers/SRMs, and a real lack of LRM/ATM/MRM/SSRM weaponry usage. I think some Cooldowns, Spread Values, and Velocity Values are in need of tweaking... Possibly even a tiny Optimal Range Boost on the Baseline for LRMs/ATMs. Some weapons have been left to suck where they should not, and AMS is too strong by comparison.

Worse thing is, even though I've been putting everything I've got into battles during this Event, Inner Sphere 55-Ton Mechs are just Way Too OverPowered. Clans just don't have anything strong enough yet at the 55-Ton Weight Level. No, I'm NOT asking for some 'Titan of a Mech', just for the Clans' Mechs to have balance against what are apparently stronger Inner Sphere Mech counterparts. I'm getting this unshakeable feeling of bias against Clans right now, and I don't like it.

ATMs don't suck, if they seem to then the issue exists in the pilot seat.

I've ran through all of my loot bags... both IS and Clans have effective builds and effective team metas. ATMs work very well if you spread out so that the IS group can't close in on one of you without getting torn apart by the others, alternatively pair off with short range brawlers (LB40 hunchbacks, SRM/SSRM boats)

Remind me again which side had the 55-tonner so strong in scouting they got dropped to 50 tons for months?
