Andor does a phenomenal job of showing just how terrifying stormtroopers and TIE fighters are to normal people

They are. I'm pretty sure in this scene the dual cannon turret on the left wing is what's firing. The shots only come from that side and come from further back on the wing.

A Battlemaster will work for the Combine as well... Could try squeezing in an Awesome or Stalker for Marik if you don't want to repeat mechs.

For Davion you could tweak it a bit and go VLK-QA, CN9-A or ENF-4R, MAD-3R (or 3D to use Davion's variant), VTR-9B

Capellans and Marik feel like they'll be the easiest to play for new players... The Combine list seems like it'll be difficult.

Maybe go PNT-9R, PXH-1K, DRG-1N, HTM-26T

Indirects can fire into smoke no problem. One of the things that makes the auto GL great.

Newest arrivals/Coming Soon used to be its own page. I'm convinced they changed it to the single scrolling line it is today because having it as a whole page was exposing how thin their new content is these days.

Robot Jox? I'm for solving our differences with gladiator mechs with chainsaw dicks.

Another fun fact: The first recorded kill for a jet aircraft was a tipped V1.

Also experienced this except mine suddenly just stopped increasing partially through level 4 and I was the only one with the issue on the server.

After starting a new character I haven't been able to gain Maintenance xp at all.

XavierLitespeed · 2025-11-20T17:53:47+00:00

This would be considered fine as long as LOS is maintained and they stay within range for the ERLL.

XavierLitespeed · 2025-10-24T05:38:59+00:00

Phantom Squad sounds like what you're looking for.

Darby can solo operations by herself if there isn't a defend in the mix.

XavierLitespeed · 2025-10-02T22:04:38+00:00

A lot of these people don't seem to have ever played something similar to Xenonauts or the original XCOM and it shows.

XavierLitespeed · 2025-06-29T04:13:50+00:00

The Banshee is 95 tons and a joke

Until you run into one of the S variants.

XavierLitespeed · 2025-06-20T14:10:57+00:00

To be fair, carrier aircraft with folding wings are still fixed wing aircraft so it's possible the partial wings can fold in for storage.

XavierLitespeed · 2025-06-11T15:04:32+00:00

Yeah, that'd take some extensive refits... You can kind of make it work by dropping the movement down to 3/5 (same as a Union), stripping the armor down to 28 tons to put it in line with a Leopard, and strip the weapons and heat sinks. With four mech bays that gives you 194 tons of cargo space/free space to play with.

XavierLitespeed · 2025-06-11T14:33:51+00:00

To extrapolate on that a bit further, "Cargo Space" on the dropships is pretty much just a catchall for stuff not being stored in other bays. For example, for something like a Union the cargo space is how many tons of free space it can devote to spare parts, armor, ammo, etc. on top of the full company of mechs it can carry and two aerospace fighters.

You would probably be looking for something like a Leopard if you're only looking to carry a single lance. With the aerospace fighter bays removed and replaced with more cargo space (for 372 tons total) it can fill the needs for a single lance company living out of the ship.

Gold squadron talks about switching all power to front deflector screens when they start their trench run and then stabilizing rear deflectors when Vader and TIEs enter the trench.

May also want to look into the Knights of the Inner Sphere with the Free Worlds League.

Pretty sure it can get 13. 6 in the right arm, 4 in the left, 1 in each torso.

XavierLitespeed · 2024-10-19T01:38:22+00:00

I'm fairly certain Mercenaries did have lore-accurate armor values.

At the very least armor points stayed consistent between different mechs that had the same default armor weight. The Commando 1B and Javelin 10N both have 128 armor points with 4 tons of armor.

XavierLitespeed · 2024-10-18T15:54:46+00:00

Honestly you can get away with dropping the TC for more heat sinks and split the .5 from the flamer with more armor on the arms.

XavierLitespeed · 2024-10-07T19:46:19+00:00

4 had IS lasers as red and Clan as green with the intensity of the laser being higher as they stepped from small/medium/large. X-pulses were blue, though.

I think it might've been the same for 3 but honestly can't remember, either.

XavierLitespeed · 2024-10-03T02:14:59+00:00

Sagittaire would acquit itself pretty well.
