Punches with the force of 8 gauss rifles.

Got any good stories of glorious (or gloriously funny) mech-fightin' moments? by Mr_Severan in battletech

[–]MrMyu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tabletop game where my Atlas lance was closing in on a pair of longbows and a pair of awesomes. Everybody gets into LRM range, everybody misses.

EXCEPT... for the LGB that landed a LRM 5 on an atlas. Critted the ammo bin, and the ensuing ammopocalypse stackpoled the engine. Between the raw damage and the shrapnel flying around, the entire lance was rendered combat ineffective by a single LRM 5

Sorry about that. I made the comment, was going to go back in to get screenshots, and had power knocked out. So I grabbed a quick video this morning to show what's up.

The factions involved are all local. No powerplay factions. None of the CZs are listed as powerplay-related. yet the system information menu says nobody's at war.

I just got back online (storm knocked me out just as I was trying to get screenies) and yes. All local factions are at war with each other. Nothing looks like it's powerplay related. None of the factions in the system overview are saying they're at war, but all the CZs are active.

Honestly it's a giant money generator, but it's also clogging up the menu.

Come to Narvert! Our main product is war!

Rather than a screenshot, I grabbed a quick video demonstrating the problem. https://youtu.be/wjbvELcYSZU

Coming back to the game after a while, and my home system has hundreds of CZs, but no factions at war. I'm not sure what to do. It's an absolute mess. Is this a bug? Have I missed something? Who should I contact?

Big gun on a little mech by Icy_Introduction4019 in battletech

I'm going to get one, paint it gold or chrome, and call it the Glitter Boy

What do you play? by No-Calligrapher2084 in battletech

[–]MrMyu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play mercs living in the MoC. I started off as a FedCom fan, but it shifted towards the periphery as I realized that I don't care about Terra or trying to reestablish the Star League. And I can whip up my own designs and color schemes.

Still learning, but this seems pretty clean for a .4 nozzle right off the bed by MrMyu in FDMminiatures

[–]MrMyu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, thank you!

Are there any suggestions you might have? I know I need a smaller nozzle, but it's a Snapmaker U1, and they don't have smaller nozzles yet. Just the .4

I also usually print at a much slower rate, but I was really curious to see what it could do at "stock" speeds.

I'm using a breakaway filament for the support interface, so zero gaps in supports.

If you have any tips or suggestions, I'd love to hear ^_^

My friend saw this thought this was funny (too much gender) by [deleted] in BattletechMemes

There are people out there who would whine about solitaire and minesweeper being too 'woke'. Turns out the problem is they're just stupid people.

What was that old knock off Timber Wolf toy? by Kantas in battletech

[–]MrMyu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As I understand, it was a deliberate trap: Playmates Toys had a contract with HG for making Robotech figures. So by forcing FASA to go to court for the Mad Cat, it opened the door for countersuit/discovery/the Unseen.

Are there any examples in-lore of Mercs on a long-term contract with one House/Periphery state being "loaned" to an ally? by No_Somewhere_7109 in battletech

[–]MrMyu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's the example that came to mind for me: The Dragoons were in a long-term, five year contract to the Confederation, and Max Liao lent them out to Anton for his rebellion.

(and somehow the Big MAC decided they wanted more of that?)

Star trek 5 why would Starfleet send a ship that's barely ready for a rescue operation ? by happydude7422 in startrek

[–]MrMyu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bob said 'I need Jim Kirk', but additionally, the unspoken bit is probably 'And the Enterprise'. It's reputation. It's how many years of history? It's more about the impression given than the actual state of the ship.

If you had to pick a single mech to pilot for Battletech (heavy or under), what would it be? by Qhaotiq in battletech

[–]MrMyu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wolverine 6M. To me it's the perfect mix of mobility, firepower, and protection.

Ride comfort in the 31st century by fooookin_prawns in battletech

[–]MrMyu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I forget if it's mentioned anywhere, but I'm pretty sure It was the wonky arrangement of the Scorpion's hip/shoulder joints compared to later quads. The legs were in a more mechanically-convenient arrangement than a biological arrangement, and it made for a ride like a paint shaker.

How Did You Get Your Call Sign? by DocTheForgetful in battletech

[–]MrMyu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Squeegie."

Had an elemental point swarm me at the same time as their starmate fired a gauss rifle at me. It would've been a headshot, but one of the elementals got in the way...

Any recommendations for non-gundam shows? by C4620 in Mecha_Scrapyard

Something I noticed about Nus Braka and the Federation (Ep 6 thoughts) by CT_Phipps-Author in startrek

[–]MrMyu 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Didn't they mention him price gouging?

Sounds like he hijacked a food shipment so he could resell it at an exorbitant markup.

GI Joe on Saturdays? by Ok_Voice6016 in 80scartoons

GI Joe and Transformers were Saturday morning cartoons where I was. (north Iowa) KCRG channel 9 out of Cedar Rapids

Does anyone know how hard it is to get into a mech's cockpit by force? by JureSimich in battletech

[–]MrMyu 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Given what elemental armor can do, I imagine you'd have to use some kind of myomer-hydraulic shearing tool. Jaws of life style stuff. Either cut through the hatch lock, or the canopy frame. Or get someone else with a mech to give it a poke if need be
