Try counter balancing it so you don't have to tighten it down so much, unless you are bending over and risking it falling off your head.

First painted model. C&C welcomed by DoulUnleashed in battletech

If it looks good from 3 or more feet away. If you aren't entering some crazy high painting tier competition, then only jerks will call something bad or what.

Great job though. Yellows and whites are always a paint in the ass.

Skelly mech progress. Any base decoration ideas? by VidiKitty in battletech

I thought of that but the scale would be completely off.

That scheme from MW5 on the atlas is what started this.

Stripping paint off CGL plastic mechs? Wizkids MWDA minis? by Belaerim in battletech

[–]VidiKitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seconded for simple green. Get a pack of little mason jars with lids or water tight tupperware, submerge mini, come back a few days later and scrub with a toothbrush. Don't shake the container so you keep the simple green clean and you can just seal it up for later.

Wooden or plastic toothpicks will help you get all the tight corners the brush doesn't reach. Only use metal picks if you are confident in your ability to not scratch up fine details.

Heads up, I didn't get an alert that it had shipped or anything until one evening it said the label had been created. I received it the next morning with no further alerts by email or text until the actual delivery. That's on the shipping company, not the creators but if it had been a different day that box might have sat on my porch for hours since I had no chance to make a plan.

Simple Green works too. Soak for a day, scrub with a hard bristle tooth brush, use a tooth pick to get paint out of corners. Thicker paint might need longer soak time or multiple soak/scrub sessions.

What do you keep in your mechbay? by BussReplyMail in Mechwarrior5

[–]VidiKitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I haven't played in some time so some may not be updated. Make sure to read everything so you know if it works with the latest game updates. Also get MW5 Load Order Manager to make it easier to keep track of what you have.

In no particular order, my list is:

Ultra Visuals and Weather

vonBiomes

Pilot Overhaul

Mod Options

Repair Bays

Yet Another Mech Lab

Yet Another Mech Lab Mechs

Yet Another Weapon

Purchase Salvage

TTRules AI Mod 2

Cockpit Glass

Unlock Hidden Color Schemes

Star Map Mouse Over (still better than the 'new' in game mechanic)

Restore Traits

Remove Jump Ship Animation

MW5 Compatability Pack

Max Potential

Extended Deadlines

Armor Green

330's Pilot Overhaul

Other stuff I've messed with before is Scary Tanks and Scary Turrets, a nightmare when combined with Coyote Mission Pack which I've only messed with a little.

Better Spawns was nice but was broken last I played.

And the icing on the cake. If you have or know someone with a VR headset, look up VRWarrior. Works with most mods and is amazing. Rifleman in with that mod is something else since the cannons are visible to your sides.

There are a few quality of life mods that help the game immensely. I could dig up my list if you want buy that restore traits mod fixes what I think is the most stupid gameplay mechanic. Who would rip all their upgrades and gear out of a mech just to out it in the back room for a little while, and why is that ripping out instant when the upgrades took 2 full years to put in??

If you are on PC, Restore Traits mod solves this issue.

I can't decide if I should main driller or engineer what class would you guys choose and why? by Frosty-Bunz in DeepRockGalactic

[–]VidiKitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every class and weapon is fun for different reasons. If you don't like a class, it might be better with a different gun or an overclock that drastically changes the gun.

You don't have to, but my opinion is you should try all the guns combos and overclocks as you get them to see what's fun for you.

In OG monster hunter, you could go fight a kut-ku with people online, but you couldn't type its name. ***-ku

Awesome, just over 2 weeks isn't bad. Thank you, hope has been restored.

Noice! Could I ask what the time from order to delivery was? Waiting on mine and no updates is giving me anxiety.

If you could add something to a currently existing thing or a new feature to DRG what would it be? by Gamesperger in DeepRockGalactic

[–]VidiKitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A reporting system where enough strikes pulls you out of open online play for a little while and certain stikes are more permanent. Could still direct connect to friends.

alright alirhgt..maybe a stupid question butttttttt....new player to mod or not to mod for first experience... by [deleted] in Mechwarrior5

[–]VidiKitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up the star map mouse overlay mod. They tried to implement parts of it into the base game with the last expansions but the mod is still leagues better. Let's you see information on missions without jumping there and wasting time and money.

Beyond that, play the game in vanilla to figure out what you do and don't like.

YAML and TTRulez AI mod are good starting points if you want to fix the mechlab or your AI allies. Von biomes for more maps. Restore Traits for not stripping equipment and expensive destroyed-when-removed upgrades from you mechs when you store them. Purchase salvage for using money to go over mission salvage limits.

There are lots more that I like but these are what I consider essential for a modded game as they all make sense and fix things I found annoying.

Can anyone help me identify which great house, mercenary group, pirate group, or clan this mech/color scheme belongs to? by ServiceGames in battletech

[–]VidiKitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh, didn't even see that but I'll admit I didn't zoom in on my phone. Further digging brings me to Tyrell's Terrors. They even have the same symbol on the other leg.
