The sound of an Atlas alpha striking. My god. Yeah, this is pretty drat good. I'd like to see the ability to free-move the camera during shooting sometimes, because the constant zooming in whilst neat is a bit over-focused for my liking.

So I've edited the mechwarrior file to create my own pilot but I can't seem to find a way of getting them to actually populate in the selectable list. Anyone got a suggestion?

Can someone with the goon pilots/manifest files put 'em on a dropbox or something please?

Someone remind me, did they say that in the actual game, that pilots will be all random gen from a series of backgrounds etc, or is every single one hand made?

Great. What about the Argo - was that the actual dropship as well? I'm sure it was mentioned but I can't find the info for the life of me.

Speculative question : any word on an 'eject' button? I dunno about other folks but I can see situations when I'd want to do so, particularly if a pilot was getting hammered.

Quick clarifications :

Can you edit NPC mechwarriors? I see they've got a backstory, if you change details does that carry over?

Are those NPC mechwarriors random on game start or the same each time?

Are missions actually random or again, pre-set?

e: Another question. I think I remember reading but I could be wrong - was it confirmed that one or two (?) original mechcommander voice actors were on board to voice in this?

Jesus, Tuesday can't come quick enough.

Dekker just took two pilot hits in the very first (non tutorial) mission.

Aside from headcaps and sweeping the legs, how do I want to be downing mechs to obtain the most salvage?

Lead out in cuffs posted:

Poptarting is actually a thing, as I found out when I could only hit a bunch of buildings on a plateau when my mechs jumped.

Mid jump, everything in your jump path counts for the shot. Presumably you can also be shot, even if you began and ended in cover.

How do you actually do / trigger this? I dont see any options barring dfa.

There was this dumb RTS-game for the SNES (and other systems, but I forgot which ones), where you controlled a bunch of soldiers running around shooting everything. Like in real life, the little buggers died to every little bullet blasting their brains out. Or sometimes just rolled around in agony after a gut shot.

Anyway, between missions there was this recruiting line where you could get replacements from and most of that screen was made up by a huge cemetery. Every time you lost a soldier, you got a tiny grave to commemorate them. Soldiers who got promotions got more impressive graves, of course.

I feel like a little private cemetery wouldn't be too out of place for our merc company. It would be awesome if we could put in little quips for their grave stones, like "Here lies Dekker, smashed flat by a Dragon's fist"

...Cannon Fodder?

Also yeah, a wall of the departed would be neat.

I just restarted yet again. Wondering if taking the 'meet the benefactor' but not doing pirate moon mission will at least spawn a few more 1 skull missions.
