Sometimes touching the poop can generate some comedy. Especially if you're presenting calm reasonable responses to oppose their flailing.

So I've started borrowing single seater craft. It generates just as much comedy as the multicrew stuff.

You wait for them to open the craft's doors/bay/whatever which unlocks it for everyone. You let the ladder come down, or whatever, and then action climbing in before they can.

Got an avenger this way and the dude was trying to play it off: "It's okay. I didn't want to fly it anyway. I'll just look at stuff back here."

What is ghost heat? Which is the best mech that's available to buy on Steam?

Ghost heat is an insane balance decision meant to curb the boating of one particular type of damage for maximum laffs. It adds a huge heat penalty if you fire an arbitrary number of the same gun at the same time (or in very quick succession) meaning that firing three ERPPCs at once does triple the heat it should do.

Best mech depends on what you want to do, really. And also whether you want to spend real human dollars or not. The Timberwolves, Stormcrows, and Direwolves are still kings of the meta at the moment, but if you want to brawl get an Atlas.

Ghost heat is a system that PGI added to "Balance" people boating one weapon (at the time, PPCs) over all others. Basically if you fire more than X number of a weapon within .5 seconds, you get Y additional heat, increasing exponentially as you add more guns. X and Y vary wildly for every weapon system in the game. Nowhere in the game's UI is any of this spelled out- at best, you get a little warning that you've hit the limit when you add that many guns to your mech, but it doesn't tell you the effect or allow you to plan ahead. So, for example, more than 2 PPCs causes +12 heat, more than 1 AC20 causes +11.5 heat, but you can fire as many AC10s as you want. The damage on those guns- 10/20/10. This is pretty typical of PGI's previous balance decisions- punish the player with arbitrary and unpredictable rules to prevent undesired behaviors.

The best mechs in terms of sheer firepower are still the Timberwolf and Dire wolf, two mechs included in the original clan package. They have been nerfed enormously from their original heights but they are still better armed and armored than any other mech of their weight class. They've been out for years but the price hasn't gone down- they're still $55 each. https://mwomercs.com/clans

All you need to know is that it was a design decision so bad that it makes Chris Roberts looks like a loving genius in comparison.
