Here’s a stupid question that might be in the wrong place but I figure I’ll give it a shot: if I google a MWO build, could I use it for Battletech tabletop? I’m new to the tabletop game and looking for some help building loadouts.

organburner posted:I still don't know if battletech tabletop is like, dnd in that it's "players vs dm" or more wh40k and pvp... It's pretty open ended what you can do with the Battletech ruleset. Mostly PvP scenarios, but I'm building out a narrative campaign for people to drop in and out of for over the next year (timed around when Clan Invasion drops) that has some PvE events and has a hell of a lot of fun with the specialty rules from Tac-Ops for stuff like meteor showers, minefields, volcanic explosions, subzero temps, and a bunch of other nonsense to keep things fresh.

Good enough for me. I wonder how many planets you'll get to gently caress around in. Sold, gently caress it.

PGI said they'd support modding. Also this game looks loving rad. Check out this frontflip starting at 12:25: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=havERWgW234&t=744s Worth every penny.

I can’t seem to get co-op working at all. Ugh. Just “failed to connect.”

This feels like an Early Access game. The core gameplay is fun, but the UI needs an entire rework, the campaign needs way more variety, the AI needs a total makeover... there’s a whole laundry list of work to do. It really feels sort of rushed out.

My AI squad is 3 Urbanmechs with the giant retro helmet pilots who are always cracking wise, I figured pure comedy was the best way to play the game

I downloaded some quality of life mods and am having a lot more fun. There's a casual difficulty modifier that doesn't make it so easy for you to get absolutely ripped apart every mission, which is a huge step up to balance against your deadbrained AI squadmates. My modlist right now is: -MW5 Mercs Casual Mode -Fixed Projectile Trails -Longer Jump Jets -Improved Laser Beams -Salvage Fix - More Legged Mechs -Better Rewards -Paint Theme Saving -Increased Loadout Options -Tonnage Limit Removal -Enhanced Hud (With Advanced Zoom) <this is a lifesaver -Better Spawns I'm sure when MekTek and whoever else take a crack at MW5:Mercs, it'll be a lot better. It seems like there's a lot possible with the UE4 engine.

Daemon x Machina is an armored core like that just dropped on Steam if you’re still hungry for mech action. Rave reviews too.

The vast majority of my Battletech minis collection are actually 3d printed MWO mechs, comically enough
