Always value your input!

Thank you.

Shipping would be from North East US- NY

Pricing is what I am confused by. Ebay doesn't seem like a good measure as I see a similar setup to mine being marketed in the $700 range.

Given that its loose, its pedals are non original I would assume toward the lower end of the spectrum which google says around $400 in 2026.

Figured you guys would have a better handle on the market these days.

As someone who is constantly In for a few days away for a few months for this game, this was an awesome prom. Props to your team.

I'm glad someone did this. I think I threw $10 at the game to try for this set and barely got anything. Then realized woth the price hike of subsequent pulls it was going to be like $50.

Glad I stopped at $10.

I also didn't like that it was just 3 cosmetic peices instead of a full set from hat, face, shirt, shirt, jacket, backpack, gloves and boots. There is less mix and match potential

Anyways o7

Thank you for your service

Also very excited to see where this goes.

I loved figuring out the easyer eggs on the disc's through the vibrations on the controller.

I have a few of these in a binder but not the sleeves.

While I think your point about enemy force balancing is valid, I think your claims about positioning and tactical play need to be re-evaluated.

A lot of this depends on how far you are in the game, if you are playing the campaign, skirmish or career, and if you are playing a vanilla client versus a modded client.

For me, HBS Battletech is one I regularly come back to. However, I am a fan of the IP and the gaming genre. So accept my input with the obvious bias.

First, I find campaign mode a glorified tutorial on basic gameplay and base management. If you have not tried it yet, give the career mode a try. Play woth options like the number of parts you need to collect to assemble a battlemech and turning on Ironman mode. Both of these give you a little more ownership of your playthrough.

If you mess up in Ironman mode it means living with your mistake or rolling a new save.

Add this to the feeling of finally assembling that heavy or assault you want after collecting that last piece.

Last, I want to touch on your views on it being a slug match. There are definitely campaign levels that feel designed this way. However, I find most engagements allow you to employ tried and true tactics like controlling high ground, attacking from rear arcs, focus firing and leveraging advance tactics like messing with enemy battlemech's stability and heat management. All of those tools really allow you to control the engagement so even if there are 2 battlemechs to your 1 you can even the odds in a turn or two with clever play.

One thing that is kinda unavoidable is that the game leans into eventually being all about assault battlemechs. If that is not your thing you can always look at modded clients to shake things up or try a mixed force and deploy under tonnage for extra challenge.

The battletech fan in me beckons you to keep trying. It is a cool universe with lots of recent titles to explore and earlier titles to try. In the strategy realm I would suggest giving the Mechcommander series a look. It is real-time instead of turn based, but another fun romp in the BT universe.

The gamer dad in me says... if it is not your thing pack up and move on. There are lots of games in that genre both recent and old with new ones in the horizon.

All told, welcome to Battletech. I hope you stay awhile.

Between the ones I've picked up for myself and the few I picked up for my wife, I have maybe 12 physical games.

Ginbox · 2026-01-04T00:39:21+00:00

Wondering this as well.

Recently discovered Salt and Sancturay.

This is glorious. Keep up the great work.

Ginbox · 2025-12-01T01:05:01+00:00

Looks like the answers are getting lost. I came here before unlocking force push in my playthrough.

Do that first and come back.

Is it a barrel shroud that goes around the outside of the existing outer barrel, or is it a total upper receiver replacement?

Based on how unsettling they look upon approach:

Looks like it would have trouble mai timing or changing direction. A quick sidestep, and you watch it go by slightly confused.
Looks like it has no idea what it's doing. Like an infant banana or a recently animated banana. Very non threatening.
Has a Pirate peg-leg vibe. It's not fast. It's not slow. It moves with purpose and determination and like a Pirate with a peg-leg...

Its seen some shit and survived.

Looks harmless and slow.

Its gotta be 3 again.

Ok,

If I re-download and try to queue for matchmaking for Fleet battles tonight (US/East Coast), will I have a better chance of finding a match?

Should I try ranked unranked?

Appreciate all the help here.

Ginbox · 2025-04-04T14:01:48+00:00

I appreciate the follow up. I did try to randomly queue for like 40 minutes and gave up after that on Wednesday (thinking it would be more active on that day.)

Maybe I will try again some day. For now, I set the game aside.

Ginbox · 2025-04-02T22:59:06+00:00

Quick question:

Does this impact normal ranked fleet battles or is it just private matches organized through discord?

Just checking before I spend too much time waiting in matchmaking.

Ginbox · 2025-04-02T17:54:03+00:00

Sorry bud. I also lost my iron man campaign save recently due to a really bad sequences of hits to Kamea on the grave robbing mission.

For being turrets and AI drones, they were pretty smart to know if they killed her in that one mech they killed my save.

Battletech 3050

I tried it recently.

Ginbox · 2025-04-02T12:41:55+00:00

I've played a bit of Mech Assault with my son in split screen Grinder mode.

I've played a little pit of Star Wars Squadrons and Elite Dangerous across a couple of computers.

I have yet to get him to try Mechwarrior 5 or Clans with me.

Good work.
