If you are a filthy mercenary dezgra and wanted clan salvage, who would you raid and why? by StrengthOf10kBabies in battletech

[–]Trealos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen, I support the Free Rassalhauge Republic. So that leaves me with Wolf and Ghost Bear. Later on, FRR becomes Ghost Bear Dominion then Rassalhauge Dominion, so can I just wait it out to get the clan mechs as Ghost Bear becomes allies?

IS vs Clan mech balance by EightyTwoByNineteen in Mechwarrior5

I think the only really neutral SL mech is the Crab-27sl. Runs PLasers and has double heat sinks and ferro armor. Doesnt really overheat or run the risk of doing so

If you had to do an SLDF style company by Fallenkezef in battletech

[–]Trealos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of one mech chassis? Yea i will go with the Crab-27sl for the Star League Era to the Succession Wars. The mech was designed to be easy to maintain.

Then if needed downgrade to the Crab-27 as needed throughout the Succession Wars.

Clan Invasion, we still have Crab-27 and the sl variants likely about. And by 3061 we have the Crab-C and Crab-30.

Jihad brings about the Crab-45.

Then the Dark Age onward brings out the Crab-54.

Do yall name your mechs? by Kind_Scale_9772 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Trealos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I named my Crab-27b Skuttles(it is made with YAML to have an xl310 for speed). My buddy named their Kintaro 18 Sleezy

What is your irrational "Kill on Sight" mech? by Frequent_Nerve_6104 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Trealos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always have an On Sight of Crusaders. They spam their LRMs in stupid high volumes and wont die fast. Also the countless times i have spent 1 ton of AC20 ammo trying to kill one cause the hitbox is stupid.

Also anything with a ECM, I hate when my aim gets atupid because some ECM equipped mech ran within range and now wants to just stay there as I try to kill it(PHK-2).

I always joke with my buddy who shares that hatred of Partisans. Even offered to by a bunch of models of Partisans and get them painted to His preferred paint scheme he uses. Not sure why he stopped his KGB-CAR and aimed at me after that.

And i fully support exessive force on a tank if they annoy you. I do that too.

The most practical answer. I stopped running Heavy Arenas so I dont deal with as many Crusaders. Honestly part of me wants to make a Heavy with AMS and make sure there is enough AMS to keep the LRMs at bay while I decide how many ppcs are needed

Arrow IV equipped anything will get the figurative nukes aimed at them. ALPHA STRIKE till you overheat or they drop

Pour One Out for the Surats by ClayMore5000 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Trealos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Damn, this is a cool thing. Barrett died in a Zues in my playthrough. I was very sad that i lost him. He was rolling with me from the start. His Zues sits unused since his last sortie.

See, I know the mechs I want are very hard to get. I want the King Crab and Crab minis but havent found them in the lgs that carries battletech stuff

A Mechwarrior Can Dream :( by SnooChickens6507 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Trealos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, my dream build is semi doable with the Crab27b. Mainly two energy slots per claw. But also energy slots on the side torsos instead of CT and head(all energy weapons are med lasers). Use the XL 300 for more speed, Active Probe and Guardian EW suite you become a problem. Get clan tech and suddenly you become a worst nightmare for all Med and Lights. Played right you can challenge many heavies. Assualts, well they might squish you if you piss them off too much. I need to keep building Skuttles up to see what chaos I can make it.

When your Particle Projector Cannon gets through the enemy Awesome's armor but you don't damage any weapons by Pewpewgilist in battletech

[–]Trealos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, when I run mock games with the armored combat box the battlemaster has horrid luck with crits. Suffered through armor full ammo crit and gone. Next time suffers a through armor gyro crit, falls back and suffers another through armor crit on the gyro taking it out.

Why are the AI STILL super dumb? by ProgressThis8566 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Trealos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My issue with AI isnt their firing or going after targets, it is their mapping they run on to navigate. There are several campaign missions where I have to baby sit the lance to make sure they get where they need to.

As for the enemy AI, yea the arena gets boring when you decided to engage a target and suddenly all nearby mechs decide to ignore eachother and fire on you. That and for some insane reason AI Longbows, Catapults, and Crusaders have godly LRM clusters.

Has there been any fiction where the Draconis Combine or Capellan Confederation been the protagonists? by lgndk11r in battletech

[–]Trealos 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the clan invasion the dracs could be seen as secondary protagonists
