Just playing around with the heat dissipation option turned on cause I was bored and wanted to see what this lance could do with all weapons haha

Just collecting things with a buddy while he gets the story for the first time.

I wish your coop team could see the names everywhere else besides the timeline thing in the mech bay tab 😕

I tried the new movement options in Clans (less like a sim, more arcadey) and found that I like the pace of the game and controls more. I have found it hard to go back to the old mercs style controls, and am wondering if anyone has attempted a mod for movement in mercs that approximates (or ideally, perfectly copies) the style of control in Clans.

Whats the best way to level up Pilots XP?

I have some Pilots 30/50, 30/57, 43/49 and 46/60 and they seem to level up really really slow through combat.

Do they need to get the kills for more xp?

Should i be switching to them in combat instead of using my mech to get more XP?

Should i run them in light/medium to get more evasion?

Do you get more XP from harde missions?

Should i just send them to academies?

Thanks for any help!

And why is it Phoenix Hawk?

I hate Goblin to the point where I sent him into battle with damaged mechs until he gets what he deserves. Then I make it my sacred mission to purge ALL Phoenix Hawks from the Inner Sphere!

Anyone else have an irrational mech that you automatically target above all others? Not because its a good tactical decision, but because you really really really hate it.

... but how in God's name am i supposed to deal with eight stars worth of elementals swarming at once? PPCs are fine for one star flying at you, but when you notice thirty more little red diamonds buzzing around you on the minimap.

Is this what machine guns are for? Flamers?

Please help, my Lancemates are dying.

When Fedcom forms, what happens to the High Reward quests that give Davion or Steiner rep?

Do they change to Fecom rep?

I decided to replay this game because I missed quite a bit of content during my first run. I noticed that difficulty 8~10 enemies are calling me 'freebirth' and 'surat'. I didn't notice this on my first run because I didn't know much about MW at the time, but doesn't the invasion start later down the line? Is it just a programming oversight, or are these guys early infiltrators?

So i had the DLC up to about Rise of Rasalhague. So I thought i was about 2 DLCs behind. But then i realised i needed to buy clans and all of the DLC with that. My friend whos about to do a fresh play through with me LOVES the Kodiak. Is that at all obtainable in mercenaries?

Next clans dlc we take Mason as a bondsmen. With his conversations with the clans they find out his family origins and then tell him which clan is from but since his dad died it leaves an open blood name for him to take.

( yes I know there are some plot holes here but I'm sure we as an community can fill it in this thread) keep the idea going what would you like to see if it were to happen?

What clan is most let us call it "Masonic" haha

Is he ghost bear material?
Is he a wolf?
A jaguar?

Thoughts!!

( yes I know he is supposedly from another clan but I cant believe it !! not Mason it's obvious a clanner psyop mind trick

Personally the royal stalkers loadout makes me cry, sure I can shoot nonstop, but I really would have wanted the decked out version with the dual srms to have the enhanced cooling over 10 more lrms

This is in yaml, mind you

I plan on a nice fresh install and a vanilla play through when the next dlc drops, but I was wondering on average how long after a dlc do big mods like yaml get updated?
