| (One great thing about this game is it autosaves habitually - so I didn't have to run through the tutorial again to restart - just reload one of your super old saves)
1. Jumpjets seem to be king. They give you 2-4 evade depending on how far you go and you can do an 180 turn with them which is hard to do and fully move otherwise. SRM's on a jumpet-heavy mech are nasty. 2. SRM's are nasty. LRM's are nasty. All Missiles give a knockback bonus so pelt anything with enough missiles and it'll fall over on the same turn. This gets real tedious when dealing with LRM carriers because a single PPC blast won't nail some of the heavier ones. 3. Autocannons seem heavy and situational. I avoid them. 4. Do NOT discount MG's and Short Range Lasers. I tossed them because the game implied they only trigger in melee but they also can fire independently within 2-3 hexes. 5. Armor is king. Drop most of your rear armor and cram as much armor as you can onto the front of your mechs. Drop a weapon or two if you have to. Starting Loadouts: Spider - 4x jumpjets, no heatsinks, 2x S Lasers, maxed out armor as far as I can. Run behind things and punch them for mega damage. Vindicator - PPC & LRM 10. Lots of heatsinks and jumpjets. Heavy armor. Shadowhawk - Max out armor, mount the biggest SRM's you can, an S Laser, and some jumpjets. Jump to everything you can and give them a face full of missiles. Blackjack - 4 ML's and 2 AC 5's. Max jumpjets, six heatsinks, heavy armor. |
