I've recently gotten the Rainbow Crow Ice Ferret mech, and given how I couldn't find a build specifically for it, I decided to try something with SRM6s, since it seems to have a decent focus on those (A<9D<0W0|m<2pR0]S7|<C|XR|XRqR0LH7|lR|XRrD0IK7|OC|<CsD0MK7|<CtX0_S7uX0`S7v<0YS7w90:0:0 build here). A friend told me that I should try to get behind enemies and hit them in the back with the missiles, especially given that the Ice Ferret is one speedy mech for a medium.

So why do I feel like I don't deal any damage?
I'm firing all three C-SRM6s in alpha, dealing 36 damage in one volley. I see every missile connect to the enemy, straight on the back where they should definitely get fully stripped and at least yellowed on the internals, but when I look at their paperdoll, all I see is yellow armor and no damage to internals. Am I doing something wrong? It's not like I have time for a second volley either, because they immediately turn around and suddenly my advantage is gone. It doesn't matter if it's a light or a medium, the armor never gives. And don't even get me started on heavies, they are IMPOSSIBLE to take down even with backup.

I know this game is supposed to be a team game with "long time to kill", but when someone looks at me with some bummass generic laser build for less than one second and suddenly all my armor is gone, I feel like I've wasted both C-bills and my event-free-mech-pick on this thing. I WANT it to work so bad, I'm feel I'm doing everything right, so what is going on here? Why can't I win even when I'm in an advantage? What I am doing wrong?

Hello, I've been playing for a lil bit right now and the game didn't explain me some stuff that I eventually understood, but there's this one thing I can't get.

I got some targeting computers Mk1 and even a mk5 and mk7 from a cache drop, and they are in my inventory there, accounted for, all clear. but when I go to the mech lab and check the equipment tab, it says I have no Target comp of any level in my inventory (no number of them owned). the mech CAN equip them, it has laser weapon slots and such, but I dont see why the game says I don't have them, forcing me to pay for a target comp in order to install one, even if I have them in my inventory for free. Can anyone explain this? Thanks for the help.
