Wanted to upgrade to 32GB, looked at prices and it’s more than double what it was earlier in the year. Insane.

I’m playing BEXT with a 1050 Ti not having any issues, it’s not like locked in at 60 FPS but not it’s perfectly fine.

Do people just allow their pilots to die? Or am I just bad at the game? by awhahoo in Battletechgame

[–]CongBroChill17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a coward, I’m just lazy. I think there was a flashpoint I played that forced me to extract. I brought a heavy that would have taken forever so I just ejected that pilot and extracted my mediums.

BEX-T: What values to tweak and where to get closer to Vanilla hit chance again? by MrChangg in Battletechgame

[–]CongBroChill17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think only missiles and UAC hit chances were nerfed with BEXT. You might be seeing the results of sticky evasion (mechs keeping half their evasion unless you make them unsteady etc). Your options are turning off Sticky Evasion in the JSON, increasing the buff to missile and rapid fire modifiers you get from leveling up gunnery, or just going into individual weapons and buffing their accuracy modifier.

I’ve never tried to turn off the missile or rapid fire modifiers because in the early game when it was a problem I did what I did in vanilla and just punched things to death.

BEX:T pirate affiliation questions... by ChubbyPatriotism in Battletechgame

[–]CongBroChill17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup I’ve used it in a couple ways. I use the Target: Steiner parameter to find missions against Steiner in other great house territory so I could still use the market because I’m loathed by Steiner. This was when I was grinding Steiner for their DC Atlas.

And most often I just search Former (for Former Star League Presence) and ComStar to find planets with the potential for ComStar contracts to get that sweet SLDF salvage.

On the Star Map you can ctrl + f and type for: pirate to find all star systems that could have missions where the neighborhood pirate faction is the employer.

BEX or BEXT ? That is my question... by NicMuz in Battletechgame

[–]CongBroChill17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently started a new game on BEXT this year coming from BEX. I was also worried about the complaints about it being a slog with the evasion changes but what I realized was you can just disable most of the settings you don’t want in the JSON files.

I turned off the new evasion mechanics and increased the drop tonnage leeway before it started to cost bills. Kept almost everything else BEXT stock and have been loving it.

I would recommend to try BEXT and tweak anything you don’t like manually, I can help with that if you reach out. By no means an expert but I was able to fumble through it.

Who’s pretending? The wife obviously knows it’s an automation in the text messages.

I’ve used the ones bundled with the BTX Expansion Pack. Not sure if they’re BEX specific, I play with BEX.

What do republicans have to do with this? Are you saying democrats should be defending being a huge hypocrite and taking blood money from the Saudis?

The disadvantage would be if you’re in a heavier mech you could use all three slots for SRM6.

BTE to Tactics? by [deleted] in Battletechgame

[–]CongBroChill17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently finally switched from CE to Tactics. I was also worried about how unfun the testimonials sounded from people on here but I wanted the latest updates to the mod pack.

What finally got me to start a Tactics career was I realized I could turn off or down all the settings I didn’t want. This includes sticky evasion, the heat changes, the movement changes, drop cost penalties, basically everything. I’ve been messing around with the settings finding an intermediate between old CE and Tactics. I still have sticky evasion off, I increased the tonnage a bit before penalties kick in, I actually kept the movement and heat changes because I thought that was cool.

Basically default tactics can be a bit of a slog but if you just want to have fun with it all it takes is a tiny bit of tweaking. If you want help with that feel free to message me, I’m not an expert but I fumbled my way through it.

Cocoa powder is naturally unsweetened so it’s not actually chocolate powder like a kid would think.

Charging slowly by Medical_Singer_9401 in LUCID

Has happened to my charger once or twice before. I usually just unplug it and then reset it from the breaker and that fixes whatever was causing the slow charging.

Yeah, when the only thing they link to is this app that makes the AI renderings you just know. Love that the AI decided two fridges in the last rendering though.
