[Feedback] Free Rasalhague Republic Sale This Friday!

yeah it's a good point

What's your guys' various takes on the Wolverines as a chassis? I rarely see them.

 

I got the Wolverines, now my next mechs will be King Crabs (I have right 3 mechbays left).

I was considering thunderbolts and dragons too, but while wolverines are kind of rare and probably will be left alone for a bit more, tdrs are pure meta, so I guess the first quirk who is gonna be changed is the ERPPC one. As for dragons, I'd use only the AC5 one after mastery.

The mech that I was overlooking actually impressed me, those SRM and ML quirks are quite good on the 7K, it won't replace the SHD 2K on competitive matches, but since I drop a lot solo it might be a great replacement there (XL340 is too big tho since you have to buff the arm, is there a cbills mech that comes with the xl320 ? ).

My first games with each of the Wolvies :







PS : had to decline mechspecs group invite because tomorrow I have to work, just got my 2x EXP.

 

ECM Cicada (9M? 3M? something like that.) has an XL320 default.

 

3M, which is also the best mech of that chassis, and great to own

I already picked up the STK-4N, and I'm just a few hundred thousand cbills away from a STK-5M purchase, but none of my Stalkers (Misery included) is upgraded with DHS yet, so I won't be playing them right away. I'll probably delve into cbill farming further to try and pick up the two Wolverines on sale, since the 6K is not at a discount right now, just to save cbills for later. After that, it's MOAR CBILLS FARMING to get ready for MDDs on the 20th.

 

Until they nerf it and then it becomes just another mech rather than the FoTM

 

So far this has been a profitable weekend...I'm ONLY playing on my Prime/Hero mechs to get as many cbills as I can, in addition to the STK-4N and 5M, I picked up the WVR-7k, and I'm only 1 mil away from the 6R. I'm torn after that...I could fill out my Thunderbolt deck (I got the free 9S phoenix mech before and never did anything with it), buy 3 cheapass Locusts, or start saving for MDDs. Since I haven't outfit any of my new mechs to save on cbills for purchases, I got a way to go before I can use them anyway...also need to get the WVR-6K, but that's not on sale right now, so I'll probably ignore it for a bit. What I wouldn't give for another mechbay sale, now that I have things I want to put in those bays hehe

 

So I went crazy and decided to pick up a trio of Awesomes, mostly to try out the quirked PPC/ER-PPCs, but I also wanted another XL320 engine that came with the 9M. Not really sure why I thought this was a good idea since I am rubbish with PPCs, but they are kinda fun to derp around in. Probably should have just used the money on weapon modules, though.

 

I am saving up for c-bill crabs, but I am missing the JM6-DD from my jager collection.

Is the DD worth picking up or is it mostly redundant with the others?

 

Yeah, DD and S are the two best. If the A had an SRM quirk instead of LRM I'd like it more, though close range Jagers are rather iffy. And with SRM spread/hitreg issues, you have to be very close to make effective use of them.

 

I bought, basic'd and then sold the Dragons that I needed to elite the 1N. I didn't really love playing them so no point in letting them hang round and take up a mechbay. Then picked up both of the sale Wolverines. Have had games similar to FX8230's. Even unbasic'd they seem like pretty effective chasses. You do have to build to the quirks though. The 6k with the two ballistics in the right arm plays like a more nimble Dragon-1N and the 6R is nice little SRM/pulse laser boat (I may have the chassis numbers wrong). They seem to be a little harder to hit that centurians or hunchbacks or maybe I've just gotten a little better at avoiding damage.

The real revelation this weekend has been how effective the King Crab is at C-bill farming. Between ripping mechs apart with 4 AC-5's or 4 UAC-5's (with macro) and selling a couple of unneeded engines (how many STD-255's do you need) I've been able to pump out ~20M Cbills. Now to save the pennies for the Cbill King Crabs. No date on that yet as far as I've heard.

 

Wolvies are great, I had a 1200 damage game I posted in the 1000+ club (and LPL damage is kind of pinpoint too, lots of comp destructions), and already 2x 7 kills on SRM one just a bit away from 1000 damage (posted 1 in most kills). The SRM wolvie is better then the SHD 2K in solo drops, much more range, you can feel it over having and XL340 instead (2K can strip both arms). Weapon mounts are still pretty high. Plus the 7JJ, 1MLas, 3SRM6+A and XL340 build is just too fun, poptarting SRM ftw

The funny this is I got them for Dakka one, and I'm liking the others more, should have basiced and sold other dragons too, now I'm out of premium

While it's a nice mech, it would really need the armor quirks the dragon much has, more then the 10% advantage the dragon has in cooldown, after all it's a substained dps mech, you need to be facing the enemy to do damage. Maybe removing the missile quirks no1 is going to use on them, and impoving the armor a bit.

 

Here's what I got this weekend:

Locust 1E
Firestarter S
Hunchbacks 4G 4H 4J 4P 4SP
Catapult K2
Jagermech DD
Awesome 8V
Banshees 3E and 3S
