Phrosphor posted:At any point in the battletech fluff did they ever explain what happened when Kell dueled with Yorinaga? Did he somehow have a null system installed in his Archer? How did Yorinaga repeatedly miss at point blank range while Kell was standing still? The whole thing never made sense to me. Targeting computer mishap? "It essentially says that every weapon we produce is an over-priced piece of junk. Now, that's not news, critics have said it for years. What was news to me touched on our supposedly "spectacular" Warhammer 70 ton front line Battlemech. It says there that when the Warhammer proved incapable of hitting moving 'Mechs, we test-fired it at walking speed targets. When it failed to hit anything that was mobile, we test-fired it at an immobilized Archer at close range, and it missed that. Now is this possible, General Yorinaga?" "There was a problem with the tarcomp." "According to this, the 'Mech locked on to the friendly IFF of a Panther, and destroyed the Panther! Were we test-firing at our own soldiers that day?"

And I think so does everyone else  And going off the discussions over the past 4 years in PTN's thread- 'Mechs are mostly hollow, because it was either that excuse or they do what happened in Honorverse and retcon every single ship ever to stop them having 'the density of cigar smoke'.

Psion posted:I'm skimming the manual and it very much is worth reading. Also important- "Not a Backer yet? You’re not too late! Until two weeks before the close of Beta, you can head here to become a Late Backer at the MechWarrior level and gain Beta access. https://battletech.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders " So if people are still on the fence, give it a few hours and you'll start getting some goon first impressions.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:God I dont have an hour to watch this, I hope people post like a...5-10 clip of gameplay or something. Every stream always starts with 5-10 minutes of talking and stops and starts all the time. Duly noted, I plan on recording as soon as this stuff goes up. Actually, gently caress it, gonna play some MW3 and record that to prep. Still want to LP that at some point.

Pro tip- avoid doing repeated DFA's into water My Panther suddenly had both legs removed explosively, I assume from them being stripped of armour and normal BT water-structure rules apply

Psion posted:I believe the standard rules are that if you're down to structure in a limb it's automatically destroyed in water. If that's correct, Paingod probably broke into structure on both their own legs during the DFA, landed in the water, and they both blew up. That's Battletech! I did record it, so... Nope, I just wasn't paying attention- both legs were in structure damage when I did the last DFA. So Never Not DFA might actually be wrong.

Phrosphor posted:If you sprint then the mech gains the Evasive condition which gives every attack against it a flat 50% chance to miss, any mech can gain Evasive by sprinting though, not just lights. There's also a 'defence' value, which gets a bonus based on how far you move- "Moved (1-3) This unit has a +2, +4, or +6 Defense based on the distance it moved on its turn. (This modifier will be applied against enemy to-hit rolls against this unit.)"

Ok, so, sanity check on this. According to the claim, twice in 2013 PGI submitted a Reseen design to HG, both of which were rejected and were never used. I think it was the Warhammer and Marauder based on them being the 'Tomahawk' and 'OBP'. Then there's nothing until last year, when they notice Catalyst using the Warhammer design, which is the thread that began this current clusterfuck near as I can tell. So, did PGI continue to submit designs to HG that were ok'd, which HG has decided not to mention in this suit, or did they go full and decide 'gently caress it, like they'll ever find out' and give up asking?The former doesn't seem likely as it would have been easy to refute. Does this mean done hosed up royally?

DatonKallandor posted:Not even Living Legends includes Melee and they went deeper into the mechanics than any other Mechwarrior game. The sole exception I've heard of (never tried) is a physics quirk in MW3, where more speed = lots of collision damage Take a Bushwacker Run towards an enemy at max speed Torso twist right When you get close, twist left If you make contact with the enemy with your arm, it gets blown off. And the enemy takes enough damage to instantly core it

I said come in! posted:Battletech at launch will be just the main menu with an exit button, with the way these cuts to content are being reported. :P Actually it shows the cutscene of you getting the Argo and some 'Mechs, then a prompt asks if you want to sell it all and retire. The 'No' option is blacked out, but gives a 'DLC Coming Soon' text box if you hover the mouse over it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CB3VgTF8Ds

I'd go for industrial metal, but thats mostly a desire to bring back the RA95 glory days. Will try to force in a bunch of Klepackis music to override the soundtrack once this is out, anyway. I modded XCOM2 the same way as soon as someone added TibDawn and RA to the Workshop

Going back to MW:VR since everyone posted while I slept- remember the MWO specific HOTAS controllers? The ones that looked like the successor to the Steel Battalion controller, but designed explicitly for MWO? Because sure as hell wants you to forget. Until and unless they get a working physical product out, don't believe anything they say. HBS has a pedigree with Shadowrun, while PGI has a Die Hard game no one played and the MP component of DNF as their background.Their best decision? Getting that guy who redesigned the 'Mechs. Bringing it back around to robot aesthetics cause they do look real good, concept art did anyway

Rygar201 posted:My only Crimson Skies experience was the Xbox game, what kind of game was the TT game? More tables than IKEA, like BTClassic. Never played it TT, just the video games (CS and High Road, comparable to MW3 and MechAssault respectfully) but I do know there was a super detailed armour and penetration/ damage system. Pretty sure CS replicated it too
