where is charger(cs)?

[w0qj]

Traditionally, TSP packs are available until the "Final" two teams face off against each other...

So what exactly are improved jump jets bringing when converted to MWO?

I'm still extremely hesitant to bother with a Gargoyle, unless it becomes an aerial ballerina.

<Never mind, just realized that $65 Total also included the $10 Decal Bundle also!>

I'm gonna buy multiple TSP 2025 packs from Xsolla:

$15: TSP 2025 Pack 1
$15: TSP 2025 Pack 2
$15: TSP 2025 Pack 3
$20: TSP Retro Bundle
$10: TSP 2025 Decal Bundle
-----------------------------------------------------------------
$75 Total for buying above four packs separately
=====================================


I buy the "TSP 2025 Bundle plus Retro & Decal Bundles",
actual cost = $65 (save $10)

Hey MWO, TSP naming bug report:

MWO Store says "SMN-M(TSP)", but everyone and MechDB 2.0 says it's "SMN-P(TSP)".

Also SMN-P(TSP) here:

TSP is available until Grand Finals, probably around mid to late November. The cbill boost from the TSP lasts until roughly April of the following year.

Yep, there was an error and the poor Charger was forgotten about! Now that the pack is out, it's too late to add it back in.

However, I can add it in as a comp queue reward for this year along with the other CS mech so players can still get it!

BKL-M
https://mwo.nav-alph...b07c69_BKL-MTSP
2HLL 3ermlas - Currently the BKL-M's best option imo. Same alpha as the laser vomit bkl-a but better range and cooling - worse agility but speed isn't too much of a downside, no ecm. Compared to a hellfire, much better peeking profile, better armor, similar agility.

https://mwo.nav-alph...c14947_BKL-MTSP
HAG30 5ermlas - 60 alpha, enough ammo for the HAG. Ideally you are fighting at a range where the ermlas are also useful. Hot build - I found peeking with an alpha, and then either cooling off or sustaining with the HAG30 when you have opportunities for free trades did well enough.
https://mwo.nav-alph...56d04f_BKL-MTSP
AC20 3Plasma Cannon - Can alternatively use a LBX20 or UAC20. Decent damage at midrange.
https://mwo.nav-alph...fd7aee_BKL-MTSP
LB20 5SPL - Brawler with a heat efficient 45 damage per click. Take legs and backs, good cleaner.
https://mwo.nav-alph...58e90e_BKL-MTSP
4HLL 1ermlas - heatcap simulator. 78 damage per stagger is nothing to sneeze at but it is really hot and exposes for a long time to get the damage out.

(oh right there are other TSP mechs)
Urbie
https://mwo.nav-alph...a02_UM-IIC-MTSP
Beam LMG - hey mom I can do 20 dps!

Summoner
https://mwo.nav-alph...a161e6_SMN-PTSP
2erppc 9APG - fat rival if it had super high PPC hardpoints (2015 me is sweating right now)

Gargoyle
https://mwo.nav-alph...4b3257_GAR-MTSP
2hll 6ermlas 9erulas - Sunniergoyle

[KursedVixen]

Urbie has no jump jets so I'm gonna have to skip on this, though still waiting for a missile urbie IIC that loads a single ATM 12 in the arm....

Gargoyle needs
Energy heat quirks
set of 8 laser quirks Or laser quirks like maybe 5% range on arms and side torsos

Summoner might need some ammo quirks maybe some heat quirks


Black lanner might need some heat quirks


Urbie needs heat quirks and ammo quirks

To be honest, I never cared too much for the comp scene of MWO. The only exception is if there was a MechCon for it. Mostly because Mechcon made the MWO Championships feel more authentic if that make any sense. It made you feel like you were supporting more than the MWO WC, but Mechcon and the spirit of BT as a whole. I mean, seeing players on Twitch walking in with E-sports Jerseys of there comp units made it look so cool. Now of course, I don't think I could ever be a part of a comp team or start something like that because I'd get my tail handed to me on a silver platter, but it looked like a fun experience. I still rock my MWO WC 2017 Warhorn from time to time.

Though this pack is a pass for me, admittedly the only thing that interest me in this supporter pack is the Summoner since that is my favorite chassis. Also, a decal pack to support your favorite teams is also a nice touch.

There are a lot of teams that just play comp on a casual level. In Comp Queue they do sometimes get stomped, but for every stomp there's usually 3-4 more evenly matched games. Then in the player-run tourneys, teams are seeded into skill matched divisions, so most games there are pretty even

For Comp Queue you can approach it like the old QP Group Queue. Doesn't take long to get to 20 games for rewards, and they are generous, over 10K MC, millions of cbills, a handful of mech bays and I guess two(?) free cbill boosted mechs this year

[InTeaM Drake]

Here are a few build ideas for TSP mechs:

• Clan Snac Lanner: https://mwo.nav-alph...9b07f4_BKL-MTSP - weapon cooldowns are synced, full-body armor quirk let you strip some for tonnage;
  
• Turret Urbie: https://mwo.nav-alph...576_UM-IIC-MTSP - impressive range and DPS can compensate lack of speed;
  
• I-wanna-be-an-EXE Gargoyle: https://mwo.nav-alph...355632_GAR-MTSP - good speed, jumpjets, mix of long- and shortrange weapons;
  
• First cold uPL build Gargoyle: https://mwo.nav-alph...415000_GAR-MTSP ;
  
• Clan "Crael" Summoner: https://mwo.nav-alph...626174_SMN-PTSP - all the DPS.

How about adding it in as TSP 2025 Pack 4?

Build link is missing the 4 Improved JJs from the GAR-M LT since that breaks the link for some reason

Bumping this, in the hopes it's seen and some kind of official answer is given.

AFAIK Improved Jump Jets are "They weigh more but you can now put more of em to match your running MP" in the source.

MWO Jets already don't have a great reputation when it comes to matching your movement speed in any way, shape, or form. So what can we expect "Improved" JJs to do differently?

Still "Hoverjets" but now you have more fuel?
