I just like to post how the Beta is okay. Had some fun shooting with an Awesome just above the head of my urbie. A bigger Mech would have blocked my shots. I also managed to dual leg my Victor with a DFA, luckily the DFA also killed the enemy mech (Metal Baby).

Zaodai posted:Basically all of this. Mechs with a lot of SRMs are pretty good at dealing stability damage, like the standard Commando and Kintaro. Had a nice fight with Com-2D, JR7, SHD-2H and a Lolcust-SRM against 2x Panther, Quickdraw and Lolcust-SRM.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Yeah, it is. I think Evasion should be a function of distance moved, with the skill making the pilot more efficient (for example one unit of movement with Evasion being worth two units without). Evasion is easily countered by Sensor Lock. Which also removes the defensive movement modifier. Making it very easy to kill light mechs.

Pattonesque posted:I like this a lot. maybe there's an additional skill that lets you use your melee attack at the end of a sprint with bonus damage (so long as it's in a straight line)? The problem with making Evasive being tied to sprinting is that it will increase your base defense. I think Greatbeer's idea is the best, as of now. I think 25 to 40% reduction of accuracy would be an adequate payoff for 50% Dodge. So with more advanced Pilots you'd stick Evasive on your Scout who also has Sensor Lock.

Psion posted:I promise, from the bottom of my cold, black heart, you are better off not knowing how PGI tried to balance a first person game against TT rules. Even if you frequently think the TT rules are silly, or should be changed, or believe that changing the medium requires changing the rules (because it does) ... it doesn't matter. You're better off. He asked for it! Prism posted:Well what is it, for those of us who never played? Don't leave us in suspense! Firing a number of weapons at once is bad, this number is different for each weapon, some weapons are grouped together. If you fire a bad combination of weapons, you receive extra heat, somewhere between "not noticeable" and "poo poo I'm dead". Firing 2x AC/20 together = BAD = VERY HOT Firing 2x LB-20X together = not BAD. There were once funny numbers of BAD weapons Firing 4x SRM2 = BAD Firing 2x SRM4 = not BAD I'm not making poo poo up. Want to know how  named this mechanic? It's "heat scale". Brilliant. eh? The original MW:O post 's brilliant Game Designer Paul Inouye, it contains funny JPEGs! I lied - they're actually .PNGs https://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/127904-heat-scale-the-maths/ The current "heat scale" values have changed.

I currently use Shadowhawk with 2x LRM10s, 1x Medium Laser, 1x Small Laser + (+5 dmg) Centurion -A with 1x LRM10, 2x SRM2, 1x AC/5, 2x Medium Laser (I didn't have access to an AC/10 when I received the Centurion from the Argo Mission. Vindicator with 1x Large Laser, 4x Medium Laser and more Heat Sinks and one off (though usually the Blackjack) Blackjack with an AC/5 and 4x Medium Lasers and extra Heat Sinks Panther with 4x Medium Laser and an SRM4 Jenner with the stock armament. Just shooting the hell out of the opposition with LRMs and then go in and punch/kick stuff.

Well I had only Mediums and lights until the SLDF Mission, than I got the Highlander and salvaged an Awesome. The next random mission had me going up against 1 Stalkers, 2 Banshees, 2 Thunderbolts, 1 Jagermech with LRMs, a Catapult and a Shadowhawk. Next Try had 3 Stalkers, 1 Banshee, 1 Centurion, 2 Thunderbolts and 1Catapult. Didn't went well either way. Because the reinforcements were too close to the main force, so you'd trigger them at the same time. I managed to beat that mission on another try with a Firestarter (3x ML, 6x SL (some ++ weapons)), a LRM Centurion, my Awesome and Highlander. Though I lucked out on the retry and 2 of the enemy heavies were only Dragons.

I just nerfed LRMs (roughly half dmg/stab damge). Thus allowing me to more safely bring lighter Mechs. This is also more fun for me, since I dislike LRMs. I also made light and medium Mechs harder to hit. Which should help. If you don't like how the game plays => mod it.

Dramicus posted:Even so, a simple -1 stab doesn't stop you from knocking everyone over with +++lrm20s. Any more of a debuff and it would just shift the knocking meta to SRM6s, which also do a lot at +++ levels and are easy to boat. To add on to that, I also reduced Stab damage on SRMs too, LRMs are at 2-3 dmg per missile with 1-2 stab per Missile. And I used Gwaihir idea to buff lights and added 4 extra tons of available weight to every Light (and Cicada). I starte a new campaign for it, and even with an Orion (AC/10 and SRMs) it's not a ONE alpha to unsteady route. I see a lot less knowdowns this campaign. Though I'm immensely lucky with dealing head shots to enemies. And not getting many in return.

Behold my timeline.  It was an awesome fight. A enemy Wolverine and Shadowhawk really used their Melee Attacks against me (Punching, Kicking and DFAs).
