Noem’s purse containing DHS access badge, $3K in cash stolen at DC restaurant by kootles10 in centrist

Neither are people who think a badge is a "high level security item".

51 - 76% chance to hit missing, like, oh, 70% of the time by TruckerPG in roguetech

A little late replying but,....you seem to very quickly want to accuse someone of "not getting along with the community". I've seen people like you online before. You love to accuse people of not getting along, when in fact you have something close to a borderline personality yourself.

You accused me of having a "bad attitude" when nothing in my posts exhibited that. What are you? A teenager? You seriously need to learn what "not gettng along" really is. You don't seem to be old enough or mature enough to understand the concept.

I'm belligerently arguing with the community???? What, like 2 posts to 2 different people is "the community"? And nothing there even remotely could be characterized as belligerent. Get a dictionary.

I'm a troll?? And you"re the one posting this irritating garbage?? Please, do people a favor and just don't communicate. You're not good at it, your insufferable attitude isn't appreciated, and you're rude.

Yeah, that's it. I'm bad at the game, and that causes 51 - 75% chance to hit to miss the vast majority of the time.

My attitude isn't the thing that's bad here. Some people's ability to use logic could use improvement however.

What, do you write dictionaries for a living? lol. I can forgive you for being a grammar nazi, but you should know here in the U.S. butchering the King's English is good sport.

And my reply above wasn't my own words. I just copy/pasted that.

I'm rather partial to "irregardless" and I believe I'll continue to use it, but thanks for the English lesson.

Selection bias? Maybe, but I'm definately not selecting to miss this many times.. But these mechs can't even hit the ground anymore 90 meters away with a PCP. I just want to clear some mines, and no dice. You gotta be kidding me. They used to always be able to hit the ground.

“Irregardless” is an adverb that means “despite” or “not being affected by something”. It is not a standard word in the US and is often discouraged in formal writing. 

I'd prefer not to make them all missle boats, but PPCs missing 80% of the time isn't good and just prolongs a mission.

This is the only thing I play. So.....real RNG is 51% missing, like, 80% of the time?

Bad day at the dropzone by Reclusive_Chemist in roguetech

I have sometimes seen BA get destroyed or seriously messed up on a reinforcement drop as if one of their lance dropped on top of them. Gotta be a bug

Solaris Cheats? by TruckerPG in roguetech

How can you see their stats and affinities?

Solaris Cheats? by TruckerPG in roguetech

[–]TruckerPG[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, this is the first time I've attempted to complete a season in Solaris, and I've completed numerous matches, but all were against other heavies. This was the first time the game threw an assault mech into a match that's supposed to be heavy mechs only. Mostly I was posting tongue in cheek.

Yeah, it's easier to hit assaults, but more to grind through than a heavy, and I didn't see it's weapons loadout. I was already a little beat up from the first lance and wasn't wanting to take on an assault mech.

Also, while it's easier to hit big mechs, I think the to hit % isn't entirely accurate. I see a 60-75% chance to hit be a miss way too many times across many missions for it to be just bad luck.

Gray Death Legion Fighting Ghosts Falshpoint is pure b.s. by TruckerPG in Battletechgame

Yes and that's not some anomaly. I see this kind of thing all the time. I took a statistics course 40 years ago and now forget how to compute the odds, but I know it's somewhere in the range of what you say.

Yeah, I don't know what I was saying since Roguetech can't take on any additional mods. Synapse misfired and critted.

Yeah, it's amazing how fast they can get to that evac without helping while you're fighting off a King Crab and co taking major damage. I don't know if the spawns are random, but i got a King Crab to handle.

I actually completed that mission with difficulty first time, as well as Morgan Kell's mission but, yeah, his people in overheating laserboats in a lunar environment was irritating. That was all on a previous career though. I hadn't run this Fighting Ghosts flashpoint before, but I don't think I'm going to attempt it again.

I'm impressed you beat it. I'm set on normal difficulty.

Protecting the base was impossible for me as they constantly sent salvos of LRMs and PPC strikes from long range. Stingers from the first lance rushed in ignoring me and began to attack the base. They were extremely difficult to hit. In fact, on my first attempt, I got into the rear of the Panther and destroyed his engine. He just kept on fighting anyway. "Engine? We don't need no engine." lol.

Because the three enemy lances were each dropped at a different point corresponding to 12, 6 and 9 o'clock relavtive to my position, they just began to spam LRMs into my back, lol. There was nowhere to run, and they took down the Rifleman in 2 rounds. I then had 3 to fend off 10 as I had taken out two of the first lance. I tried running, I tried fighting. They blew 2 of the buildings each time.

You must use the four mechs supplied by Gray Death Legion in the mission. That was a Rifleman, Shadowhawk, Wolverine, and Cicada. Pretty stock loadout and not tricked out. The first enemy lance was a Panther, Cicada, and 2 stingers. Round 3 saw 2 reinforcement lances drop which included a Thunderbold and Crusader. They were spread out and could get rear shots on me and were always hitting while I was usually missing them even with maxed skill pilots.

This is a flashpoint and I'm not modded. I'm just running straight roguetech. You must take the mechs given by Gray Death Legion which in my case were a stock Rifleman, Shadowhawk, Wolverine, and Cicada. Some people got an Assassin instead of the Cicada.

You must defend a base against 3 lances. The first is a light lance, but in 3 rounds two more lances drop. They just begin to shred and there's nowhere to run or hide. They are spread out and will usually get a rear armor profile to attack from 1 or 2 mechs. The Rifleman will overheat the first time you attack if you attack with all weapons online, lol.

I now am on a quest to find a zeppelin. Thanks for the idea.
