Heavies for me. I bought an Atlas, but couldn't really figure out what I was doing in it. Bought a Centurion, seems like wasted tonnage to me. The...
Are we talking corps or factions? Factions can be balanced with C-Bill bonuses and stuff, but corps just die. That's what happens. Look at EVE.
Heat efficiency goes up by 2% if you drop a DHS and install an XL225. If you shave off another half ton, you can get the max engine size.
Drop the CASE and stick the ammo in legs + head. There's no reason to use CASE in 99% of cases. Drop 2 points of armor to get to the nearest half...
PPCs and PPC apologists. Just so sick of them. They're still the highest DPS and longest range energy weapon, with the fastest projectile speed of...
You only have 12 volleys of LRM ammo - I really don't think that's enough. You can barely kill a single mech with that. Something needs to change -...
The XL255 has 10 internal heatsinks - you don't need any externals if you go up an engine size, and an internal is more heat efficient than an...
Something something Mechbay's bad. Honestly, no idea, I just use Smurfy.
Don't run an XL245. By dropping a heat sink and half a ton from somewhere, you can have an XL255. It's one of those engines that is so close to a...
The firepower rating is alpha, not whatever you think it is. It's right. That .16 at the end of your firepower? That's your MG's. Look at DPS for...
PPCs are absolutely the problem. JJ shake is just going to push the meta to PPC Stalkers. Gauss rifles are totally fine, because nothing can fit...
BAP doesn't really do much for you, since you don't have Streaks. Betterer, unless you don't want to pay for Endo and Ferro (which are chump change,...
Nothing is bad if you can jump snipe with it, because jump sniping is broken. Even Spiders are better off just poptarting than actually playing the...
Unsurprisingly, it's this: CATAPHRACT CTF-3D: 138 drops, 90 wins, 151 kills, 62 deaths, 2.44 KDR PPCs and poptarting are totally fine...
You're in a D-DC, but don't have ECM. That's a big no-no. You also have 0.81 tons free - drop your leg armor to 81 each to get another ton to play...
Err, no. The firepower number in Smurfy is the alpha damage - ie. how much damage you can do in just 1 shot with all your weapons. I don't know what...
Didn't screenshot it, but had an 868 damage, 4-2 game yesterday in my CTF-3D poptart (appropriately named "Easy Mode"). However, the damage isn't...
The damage went from 0.04 per bullet to 0.08 per bullet, so the Mechlab's right on this one.
If you're already invested in the 360XL, then yeah, that's good. I personally don't think most of the non-25 increments are worth it, apart from...
My suggestions would be to move the Gauss ammo to somewhere more useful where you can use it as crit padding (since Gauss Ammo doesn't explode). For...
Bad mech. [MEDIA] Better mech. Specifically: - Command Console does nothing at all, just a waste of tons and slots. - You've got an LRM5 which...
You've got 21 free slots, which is begging for Ferro-Fibrous. If you drop to an XL350, you free up another 2 tons for a few kph. That lets you fit...
Yeah, but there's still a very significant delay, much like the old PPC delay. It doesn't help that I have 200 ping all the time. =p
So I've been playing this lately (with Artemis, but whatever), and it's basically unplayable with my current ping. There's a massive firing delay...
I'd personally drop to a STD300. I don't think 10 engine rating is worth 2.5 tons. In its place, you could add another LPL or an AMS or whatever.
Until PGI properly fixes PPCs (delete them entirely for all I care), this is just going to be a 3 ER PPC + Gauss poptart. Yay.
Odds of someone accidentally taking an arm off as opposed to a leg are like 10:1. Storing ammo in legs for assaults is basically guaranteed to be...
Yay, poptarts go back to being overpowered and everyone "competitive" is happy. Well, whatever. In my opinion, poptarting is still the worst thing...
Poptart tears, best tears.
Don't use Smalls. As a harasser and hit-and-run dude, you don't want to get into Small Laser range. It's way better to run past at 250 metres than at...
Separate names with a comma.
