Yeah, I'd always heard it as a Mech's tonnage being how much extra weight you could stack on top of an already heavy myomer frame and maintain effectiveness, not that the Atlas is literally only 100 tons. That works okay, is that not the 'canon' route or whatever?

All turn-based tactics and tactical RPG games are XCOM. They always have been XCOM. The whole universe is XCOM. XCOM. EDIT: Most Sedans seat four people because that's how many soldiers you start with in XCOM. Makes u think

Ham Sandwiches posted:Hmm so aside from having quite similar mechanics which was apparent early on, just like HBS redid their previous franchise combat system in the style of Xcom, even pointing out that "they implemented many elements from this rather successful strategy game, which plenty of others have chosen to copy as well" is just ridiculous Hey have you pointed out that the Book of Revelation obviously only has FOUR Horsemen in order to cash in on XCOM? Your crusade goes beyond the scope of a robit videogame made by the guy who designed the robits, friend. Enemies are everywhere. You must be vigilant.

wiegieman posted:It's a gangly licensed japanbot that they didn't even bother to take the weird plane parts off the back from when it was a transforming jet. Correction - the robot the Marauder borrowed it's design from wasn't a transformer and never had those winglet things. That's an entirely BTech addition, and it makes no sense and is hideous.

Never change, HG  But yeah, as of now I see no realistic ground for them to stand on for this suit. The things they hold actual legal power over aren't present in HBS' game in any shape or fashion.

Yeah, that seems fine for lights, there was never going to be as much variety in how lights as functioned there would be in heavies and assaults, so not having every chassis available is less of an issue. Side note, I really, really like that PGI Marauder.

Airpower is definitely a thing but they tend to use the same weapons mechs do and so it takes them longer to kill a mech than you'd think. Also if I remember right anti-aerospace emplacements are actually very good at area denial in a setting that generally doesn't have effective defenses in any other tactical situation.

canepazzo posted:Tanks are some unfun bullshit. Too much armor / too much damage potential; either one or the other has to go. Tanks are fine, with the exception of the Striker. That dinky little fucker has no business taking the hits it takes while moving as fast as it does and looking like that  I actually really like that Demolishers and Schreks are properly terrifying.

canepazzo posted:Manticore. 2 turns of 4x ml and 1x AC5, barely half armor off. All the while he's PPCing my mechs to its heart contents, as well as the rest of the vehicles and lance. Are you hitting the same side, and also not the front? Because Tanks have directional armor sections just like Mechs. But also the Manticore is pretty heavy as I remember so yeah, you're likely gonna need to commit more firepower to it. Or just step on it, since that tends to insta-kill any tanks 60 tons or lighter.

Finally got an Atlas. Promptly stuffed all my LosTech in it. First mission I deployed it was a story mission where the greater part of the OpFor was a bunch of light mechs all streaming into one small section of the map

Kinda late to this conversation, but I would absolutely love multi-lance operations even if we never control more than one lance at a time. It would be a great way to make neat varied encounters that keep lighter mechs relevant while still letting you show off your stable of assaults in the endgame as the centerpiece of the operation. Plus, I mean, we've got like an augmented company of mechs and a second dropship collar here HBS, let us use them

The Gauss visual is one of my only non-technical complaints about this game. It should be an hitscan railgun kinda thing that makes a terrifying noise, not this green nerf dart thing it is now.

I think most of that statement was directed at your few posts that made you come across as having a really unfortunate obsession with forcing one character in particular to experience large amounts of pain so you could hear her scream. They were, in fact, creepy, and they made you look insane. Psycho Landlord fucked around with this message at 21:12 on Aug 29, 2018 |

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:Anyway, about the game: I really enjoyed the base game while it was fresh but the announcement of the expansion and its contents really didnt get me excited at all. Does anyone else feel this way? No, because between the patches we're getting and the stuff announced for the expansion we're getting all the features I thought the base game needed to be truly excellent. Expac is good.

I haven't played in a bit, but yeah, as I recall the line goes something like "well she's supposed to be a jumpship but she's also a wreck, so" and presumably they just never bring the KF drive back online/it's not even actually there anymore.

Skippy McPants posted:Also, as someone pointed out KF drives take up a huge portion of a Jump Ship's mass. The only way the Argo could mount one and still have enough room for its conventional engines is if they used a Compact KF drive, the same type mounted on warships. If it had one of those then every House and Faction in the whole IS would come charging after you from the word go, cause those drives were one of the Holy Grails of lostech. I swear there was a line ingame about it originally being jump capable like that one guy said upthread but it's for sure not anymore because your little crew would definitely not be able to hold onto that thing if it was. But I also haven't played in months so I might be misremembering
