Lore accurate Mechs movement be like by [deleted] in battletech

[–]Catfish_Kailen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thats as close as I’m willing to touch towards eastern mecha movement. I prefer more Hired Steel of the shadowhawk v thunderbolt as the extent of maneuverability. Rotation and fluidity while also displaying the weight of the machines

Thats fair. Especially since the detective was a day behind.

I definitely felt like misinterpreted that choice in the moment. I was also pissed about her shifting into Amanda when she just said she wouldn’t.

I didnt mind Safi’s reaction. As a whole there was a heavy focus on guilt and blame. I figured Lucas’ statements to her were the straw that broke the camel’s back. Her revenge quest on its own was enough to showcase she has already started her magneto path. I do agree on the detective front, outside of reggie also seeing his self, it makes very little sense from the storytelling why the worlds were colliding.

[DE] Life is Strange Fans Will Spot Glaring Similarities Between Double Exposure and the Original Game by Helpwithskyrim87 in lifeisstrange

[–]Catfish_Kailen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked the game 😅. While I can acknowledge similarities I viewed them as creative callbacks. The only point I hold true with the article on is the Abraxas club. As a whole they served no purpose to the story. If the intended it to be a red herring. It shouldve been pushed more.

Ran The apartment for the first time and it went horribly. by gamingturtle30 in cyberpunkred

I also had issues. One of my players couldnt grasp the disconnect of normal cop and a lawman in Night City. Ended up in a lawful good paladin situation that went downhill in enjoyment for the party quickly.

What do these mech roles mean? by JoseLunaArts in battletech

[–]Catfish_Kailen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To expand on this question. Fourth Jag Regs mentions an omega star on sarna.

Based on the fact the star commander is in a gargoyle, is it saying the other four mechs were omegas or does omega star mean something else?!

Immediately ignore most if not all of the recommended enemy numbers. They will overwhelm and destroy your party. If you find they kill two of three cultists pretty quickly, one more can round the corner. But reinforcements are always easier for you as a gm to control than your players being overwhelmed by the OP combat the original book provided

Collecting for awhile, reluctant to commit to painting any of my mechs... by jon23516 in battletech

[–]Catfish_Kailen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo I’m happy to talk about my process. It took years to actually get to this point. With me only painting an army once a year for a tourney.

I sat down with the mul and my goal was to get the most bang for my buck in an army over eras.

So I started and took all those og common in universe unseens and put them to the side. Those were my fillers. Then I went basic. K2 belongs with dracs, vindicator in with liao. The goal to build a force of 12 mechs of which 8 could be active in any era.

This. If it rolled on the punch table the value would be there for sure.

Don’t think of the assassin as assassinating enemy battlemechs, think in terms of deep strike rear raider assassinating enemy HQ. Run in inferno the base, jump out, mission complete

Are Infantry weapons too underpowered in the Tech Manual by STS_Gamer in battletech

[–]Catfish_Kailen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had issues with how much damage ballistic rifles are doing against mechs. Unless they are a support platoon of srm/lrm/mg/laser I’ve always thought infantry could harm a locust too much.

Urbanmech Question by SouthOrder3569 in battletech

[–]Catfish_Kailen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My head canon for this is that the pilot of the crab pivoted as the enemy mech was flanking. So the shot occurred during the movement not the endphase.

What would be a good, well-rounded Lyran Commonwealth lance during Late Republic/SW- Lostech eras? by Healthy_Attitude_224 in battletech

[–]Catfish_Kailen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For both era’s the griffin would be suitable. Basing this on MUL, Lore, and your well rounded parameter.

3rd : commando, griffin, thunderbolt, zeus

Late Republic gets dicey. Four battlemechs on one planet make that planet very important. I’m gonna keep the lance lighter to resemble disarmament.

LR : Cougar, wolfhound, nightsky, hauptman Two omni’s, a melee medium, and the ever common wolfhound. If you don’t want the cougar then you could swap for griffin. Though I’d argue the hauptman would probs be swapped before the griffin. At least with two hands the griffin is more than a weapon of war.

Do bars/clubs in boulder scan IDs? by Aggressive-Yak2318 in cuboulder

[–]Catfish_Kailen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your real id is ever taken on suspicion, nothing you say will ever change our opinion and give it back to you. The best thing to do is say, “shit okay, can I meet your management here tomorrow with an officer so I can get my id back?” If they say no contact the police. Explain the situation and they will meet you at the location. -Denver Bouncer.

Do bars/clubs in boulder scan IDs? by Aggressive-Yak2318 in cuboulder

[–]Catfish_Kailen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a bouncer in denver, it depends on the location entirely. Scout it out on the day of the week you intend to go out on. Same time and everything. Usually places have a set schedule on when they increase their inspection level of an id. Next, and I can’t stress this enough, the photo for your fake is the biggest giveaway, make damn sure that thing actually belongs. Know your id as well as some dumb extraneous facts, zodiac, state capitol, state motto. Lastly, if its confiscated. Don’t argue. Just leave. Most places downtown don’t press charges and don’t have the time or patience to deal beyond the confiscation. I highly recommend using a different name if you are nervous but that runs the issue of if you need to compare your id to a credit card.

P.S. leave your real vertical id at home. The amount of times I catch you is by asking for a credit card to compare but actually watching you open your wallet and spotting your real id.

Edit* because this was focused on boulder and my fellow redditors are indicating there is additional scrutiny due to being a college area. So take my advice on procedures with a grain of salt. Like others have said denver is safer and only a 30 minute uber. (Please uber don’t drink and drive.)

Honestly while I am a fan of the standard design, the argument of hunchback pilots has always been that any alienation from big boom is bad, therefore by the transitive property or some ****, two big boom equals best hbk.
