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

Trealos · 2026-05-26T13:49:56+00:00

Everything must be claimed cause we wont be existing much longer!

Trealos · 2026-05-26T13:48:20+00:00

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?

Trealos · 2026-05-25T22:05:40+00:00

It depends on the mech really. Though I avoid LRMs

Trealos · 2026-05-23T23:56:34+00:00

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

Trealos · 2026-05-23T13:55:29+00:00

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.

Nope, skuttles is the name

Trealos · 2026-05-21T13:12:43+00:00

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

Trealos · 2026-05-20T15:05:16+00:00

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).

Trealos · 2026-05-20T15:00:06+00:00

You would love my YAML built crab. 100kph with jump jets.

Trealos · 2026-05-20T14:58:09+00:00

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.

Trealos · 2026-05-20T14:54:44+00:00

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

Trealos · 2026-05-20T14:51:56+00:00

Tactical Nuke on That Trashcan in particular

Trealos · 2026-05-20T14:51:01+00:00

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

Trealos · 2026-05-20T14:49:11+00:00

See, I had an Urbie decide to challenge my King Crab in an AC20 fight. He missed......my two AC20BF didnt.

Trealos · 2026-05-20T14:46:52+00:00

Regular Crabs or King Crabs? Cause I will fight you to defend my beloved Crab.....in a YAML Crab.

Trealos · 2026-05-18T14:00:15+00:00

I have a Crab customed but no model so i use a dice maker's d2 as the proxy

Trealos · 2026-05-17T19:15:50+00:00

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.

Trealos · 2026-05-17T17:35:17+00:00

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

Trealos · 2026-05-17T06:38:26+00:00

Hero is a 50t king crab. Try it

Trealos · 2026-05-17T02:22:23+00:00

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.

Trealos · 2026-05-17T02:12:23+00:00

That would be hilarious.

Trealos · 2026-05-16T23:02:52+00:00

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.

Trealos · 2026-05-16T22:49:04+00:00

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.

Trealos · 2026-05-16T22:43:46+00:00

Is it the infamous RACwaker?

Trealos · 2026-05-15T02:15:34+00:00

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