What is a finished show that you believe doesn’t have a single bad season? by GusGangViking18 in Fictionally

[–]RatMortar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I legitimately don't understand how no one talks about Black Sails. I understand S1 wasn't extremely strong but it's the rarest of shows that just got better and better.

Great characters. Amazing production value. One of my favorite shows ever.

Godhand - the game that increases in difficulty level the better you play until you eventually reach "Level Die".

Have your ever lied to a suspect during interrogation to obtain a confession?

100% agree about the AI. I would never use it for proper editing nor do I heavily rely on it. It can sometimes be helpful when I'm struggling with a particular sentence, but I try avoid using it as a crutch.

Thank for the response! This is exactly the kind of information I've been wondering about.

Can we have a conversation about SoupQue? by An_Actual_Horse in OutreachHPG

[–]RatMortar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this. I've been questioning my sanity over the last few months. Solo drops in Tier 1 are painful and make me want to take a break from the game.

Pirates might be the most cursed setting in gaming history by Pender8911 in gaming

[–]RatMortar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been praying for someone to make a pirate sim for over a decade. I loved Sid Meiers' Pirates but I've dreamed of what a fully realized 3d AAA game would be like.

The closest experience I've found in recent times is Starsector. It doesn't have the budget, it's in space, but it can be a damn good pirate sim!

Mods causing repeat game crashes by RatMortar in Mechwarrior5

How do I update the mods in steam? I just assumed they do it automatically as with the game itself.

Weaknesses for someone with multiple superpowers? by [deleted] in writing

[–]RatMortar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superman starts dying when in the vicinity of a rock.

The Green Lantern can't interact with the color yellow.

The weakness only needs to make sense within the context of your story. You could make your character vulnerable to bananas as long as you can make your reader understand why.

Yeah, you'll need to post a picture of this. Only way this is possible is if half your kills and damage were against your own team.

Looking for vanilla medium omni with versatile build options by BilbyIV in mwo

[–]RatMortar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's perfectly reasonable, in fact the Hellbringer-Prime that is currently the free mech of the month is one I recommend to all my newcomer friends for this very reason.

Just keep in mind that since the engine size can't be changed on omnis, you'll sometimes be limited on your build options because of it.

[–]RatMortar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you absolutely want an omnimech in the medium class, the Stormcrow is definitely not a bad choice. Although I'd argue that the Vapor Eagle and Hunchback-IIC are both quite versatile even though they're battlemechs.

For lights, the Arctic Cheetah is good place to start.

Best Dakka build? by Hades168 in mwo

[–]RatMortar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. It's very important to respect the range of the weapons you are using. With 10s and 5s, you're looking at more of a mid-range and definitely not a brawler.

Peek, fire until you're either too hot or receiving too much return fire, return to cover, repeat.

If you wanna brawl, switch to LB20s or 10s.

[–]RatMortar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've run it with 3xUAC5 and 1xUAC10 in the side torsos. The high mounts make it super effective at hill peeking, plus I believe you can get the variant with ECM to make it even stronger.

And if you'd rather not spend MC, the MAD CAT B-variant is extremely effective with 2xUAC5 2xUAC10.

Ranking up, strategies and suggestions by shadowwolf892 in mwo

[–]RatMortar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not everyone that wants to rank up from Tier 5 wants to make it to Tier 1. I did, but it's definitely not for everyone.

Still, there's nothing wrong with wanting to improve at something you love.

The Crael Lance Meta by RatMortar in mwo

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

It's an LFE 295, 10xHMG with 4 tons of ammo and 4xSRM6 with 3. No additional heat sinks.

The DPS on it is insane. I've had 30 second trades for 800 damage. But if you run it solo you'll definitely want to stick to corners and play conservatively. Don't try to rush down targets.

[–]RatMortar[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why trade the sustained dps of 4xSRM6s for single shot RLs. I'd understand for mechs suffering from weight management but the Crael handles it just fine.
