It increases how much you can see to your sides. So far I've only found that it makes poo poo look really wierd. But then again, my resoluteion already gives me almost 180 degree view.

Things you can do in Battletech: The Kickstarter with damaged mech components:

Do Nothing: Sometimes, it just doesn’t make financial sense to repair a component right away, or at all. You can always choose to send ‘Mechs into battle with damaged or even broken components.
Repair it: The number and experience level of the MechTechs in your outfit will determine the cost and duration of component repairs.
Jury-Rig it: You may be able to have your Mech-Techs jury-rig a component, getting it back in working order quickly and less-expensively, but at the cost of some reliability.
Replace it with a New Component: Just as most current automobiles are constructed from parts manufactured around the world, most ‘Mechs are constructed with components manufactured across the Inner Sphere. Not all parts may be available in all areas of the Inner Sphere, but if you can find a new part, your MechTechs can install it.
Replace it with a Salvaged Component: Since you may not always have access to new components, salvage may sometimes be your only source for working parts. But salvage may also be your best source - because if a salvaged component is sufficiently old enough, its technology and manufacturing methodologies mean that it may outperform current day new components.

:roboluv:

Make replacement parts of Clan mechs in MWO cost money you need to grind out since you need to import bits from the clan holdings. Timber Wolf blown up? Go back to grinding in your IS mechs for a couple days :v:

Salvage and repair/rearm was in the closed beta at one point . It was unfun loving gsrbage and throwing it away was an actual good thing. Balancing clans by making them really unfun is probably a bad idea, they'd be better removing them than that.

I did have a bit of fun in my 3 matches this week with the EBJ I bought. 2 LPL 4 ML can do some work.

Also, NKVA you guys are like hipster MWO goons at this point, all of your complaints have been filed and noted before, it is nothing new.

This game is like 3+ years old.

A lot of us already aired the same complaints in previous iterations of this thread.

We get it, game bad,no money PGI etc etc.

Don't pick on 19 for his involvement though, it's just tacky.

People leave SA because it's a dead website that lost all relevance years and years ago and because of draconian moderation (where have I seen this before?), not because somebody said some mean words about a bad videogame and implied that hey, maybe the dude you thought was "one of the good ones" is actually a 12 year veteran of this bad video game company that has been producing shovelware and fleecing people of their money for the same period of time. Click the video I posted and check the credits.

I make fun of this game and the devs and the playerbase all the time. But I don't try to run a good dude who actually tries some outreach and news of this game to us and maybe even tries to let his bosses know wtf is up as opposed to them listening to NGNG who mostly just suck them off like they are a meth addicted 2 dollar hooker. ( Well NGNG is a whore but that's beside the point...)

Also maybe this over moderation here you speak of is perhaps more because people such as yourself can't behave in even a passably sensible manner. Not being a ragey weirdo is a good start. You might want to try it!

But Greatbeer didn't XL engines have a god awful repair cost? I could have sworn they did and it made the things even assy than they already were for most IS builds?

You'd think after the 14+ years of getting burned by being trusting and believing the other party online has the best intentions goons would be a bit more cautious about trusting strangers but I guess that's why this site is in the condition it is today.

double lol if you believe Goons need to be subtly seduced away from making sound financial decisions

Like, have you even seen the Star Citizen thread? Have you noticed that goons vomit money over every lovely free2play game on the market despite telling each other how much it sucks? Do you really believe they need to have a guy from the developer swing by every couple of days and make a post to convince themselves to light a pile of money on fire?

Holy loving poo poo if Paul doesn't know why CW is dead there went any hope of CW being anything better than it was when it first launched.

I'm guessing that they probably know why it's dead, but commitment to M.V.P. means that it's easier to just hand out 4 million c-bills for a Davion vs Kurita event every few weeks than it is to improve the game mode. Actually making CW better would require some thought, acceptance of feedback, competent programming work, and enough players to actually populate some planets. All of these things seem pretty unlikely to happen.

Personally, I'm looking forward to buying more lunch truck horns when the Chinese holding company takes over operations.

Not to contradict you, but at this point in the hot garbage process that is star citizen, any money put into the game is derided. We were encouraged to sell ships on the grey market to get out. Now the OP has steps to get your money back from CIG directly.

I will agree though, goons and f2p get along like pigs and poo poo.

I think he means the actual custom name you give your robert inside the mechlab. That doesn't pop up in game I'm sure. The only names you see are the official models. If that model is a hero, it wil display the name of it.

No, while playing in my time zone it displayed some really weird German names, including the name "Dohle" for my Raven. (It's a Raven pun.)

None of these names are names of official or hero models.

I guess most people just aren't really creative enough to try naming their mechs.
