Will you maybe scoot Around Industrial Hubs a bit more in the Future? Its a good way to fill up your Ammo, looking out for Weapons you dont have or use yet and you can push some time until Clan Invasion. Wouldnt it be nice to try out different loadouts and maybe rework some of your Mechs that dont perform so well like the Zeus? Zeus still has Issues with the Inf LRM on Torso that dont get any boni from the quirks. Also you should rly rly try out a Long Range Support LRM + Laser Build / Ballistic on a Solaris Quirked Mech. This Cooldown and Min Range Reduction will let it perform alot better i can ensure you. You havent used Tag as well yet.

I dont rly get why you still take stupid Mech Parts you dont use in the end and from mechs you dont get items out of use anyways over Tier 4 and 5 Weapons and good Modules? Makes not much sense. You have way more use for these weapons. You could even upgrade when you take them. They way you play it you should rly have used the Old Salvage System. It would fit you better i think. I actually hate Salvage V2.

Tense exploration mission. Nicely done.

Enough Money hahaha I remember spending like almost 150 Mio Cbills just for upgrading Weapons, Modules and Mech Upgrades in my Mechbay over 2 Days :) Also whats up with his Fixiation on these useless Standard King Crabs? Hero Ones might be good but in this Game Version with Mods, King Crabs are just BAD. Huge Hitboxes, limited Hardpoints, Slow and Super Slugish and these Arm Mounts are soo low, they shots get stuck by almost anything. oO p.s. Glad he fixed the Crusador, but i dont think that the BCs here do have that much effect since these Weapons already have a very low Cooldown and Beam Duration^^

Regarding fog distance at 2nd mission.. do you have volume fog on or off? Cheers! :)

Cannot wait for Clans Invasion to start so you could get some clan shiny toys. Maybe some Gauss sniper boat, if you will?

where did you find it in a mission or do you just stumble Apon it?

I dont get why your ASF gets damaged all the time, i used the Multirole one that has bigger weapons and is a bigger Target and it hardly got damaged. Maybe its because of the enemy Vanilla AI? What else could it be? Your Nighstar is rly a strong build, does it rly need the SRMs when you forget them so often and arent in range anyways?^^ It carrys the Matches almost alone. Imagine you had 3 of them, i bet your AI Lancemates would also love it. Like i said a long while ago, you mostly build these Mechs with your preferences in Mind. Sadly thats not what AI likes most of the time, especially with the Missing Mech Roles from TTrulez AI Mod. It was actually finally updated a few days ago. But i havnt rly heard much about improvements in Arena Matches. Would be nice if the AI mod would disable itself on Solaris Missions, would be the perfect intermediate solution. If you are on a Industrial Hub maybe its an idea to look at some of the other Planets as well. I did that regulary to look for Pilot Upgrades and especially to stock up on Ammos, as most planets dont have what you looking for. Why are you trying to still finish Mech Parts for standard variants? They have nothing in them that you can use. Last time you cleaned out your Salvage Storage and build every Mech you had Parts for. But since you dont need these Mechs, you dont sell them anyways. It makes not much sense. If you keep some parts instead you can buy Special Variants, Star League Mechs or Hero Mechs instead with Left Over Parts. But last time you cleaned house you basically had to start at zero with collecting Parts ;) p.S. without the Ammo in the Lootcaches you would have gotten massive Problems in that big Expedition Map :)

hey bro, thx for the vid, super helpful. one question. do we know if TTRulez ever updated his mods? i tried using your january list yesterday and today and its still creating a ton of conflicts and i cant even load the game, and i noticed on coyote missions pack page they said CMP may conflict with TTR AI. theres no time stamps on the TTR AI mods page so i'm not sure if these issues have been resolved or not, but on his discussions tab he hasnt responded to these issues, so not sure... im gonna try this updated list and see where it gets me.

1. DId you actually try to upgrade your Mechs in a Conflict Zone? oO 2. Dont waste all Upgrade slots yet, you still havent unlocked some of the better ones. You will need to reupgrade later and pay double. So only use about half or 2/3 of the Slots 3. I found the Weapon Range and Velocity Mods especially good, on Mixed Loadouts you get 10 % on all weapons for 2 Slots. Especially good for Short Range Loadouts. Are you still worried about the Upkeep Costs of too Many Mechs when you pay double for Upgrades in Conflict Zones and Waste waiting Time so hard? Makes no Sense man xD

The first one! =) Mate, it's a pleasure, as usual, to watch you play. And taking some time before Clan Invasion - well, makes sense. Very comfortable pace, thanks again.

You forced yourself to wait for almost 115 Days and were coming from an industrial hub? Now you pay upkeep for 2 additional cycles of Mechs you wanted to get rid of and are now sleeping in your Mechbay. Also that would been the perfect chance to get your other primary Mechs some Upgrades as well. It will not be very soon you get another chance as that again. You need to use your Lancemates more in the Endgame or it will get expensive^^ Attack Commands dont work well when the Enemy is behind a corner and your lancemates dont have a LoS. They dont share your Sensor and might not even see it, thats why the one Teammate was stuck behind your Corsair. Give them Move orders to Flank the Enemy for Example. Man how wasted were you on this day already?^^

Confused on Corsair how to get more Tonnage, while ignoring the Assault Knuckles Tier 1 that weighs at least 2 Tons and dont do anything for you. Typical for our Semi Senile Mechcommander Hero :P Since BCs only use weight but fewer slots it might have worked with Keeping Endo in, using BC Heat and BC Ballistic and keeping the bigger Engine. And yeah 5 tons of RF Ammo definetly are too few you know it but couldnt help it xD LLaser or ER L Laser would have been 4 tons lighter and cooler. There is also an Equipment that frees Space in the Arms and can give you 2 or 3 more slots per arm. Not sure how they are called there are 2 variants they should already be avaible. You got normal FCS and Adv. FCS confused. Only the Adv. ones have Cooldown reduction and increase DPS and Heat but also weigh a ton while normal fcs are weightless. BC are basically the same as Adv. FCS Modules but you can fit several of them on a Mech.

The Highlander issnt rly a Arena Build especially on such small Maps. Half the Weapons are LRMs, they are too indirect and low on DPS that leaves only 1 Gauss and 1 SN PPC, not rly DPS weapons either. So cant rly blame the Pilot here. Would just switch the Mech for another one in Arena Battles.

Exhibition are by far the hardest Arena Missions. They are all against you and mostly on Small Maps where they face tank you one after the other or all at the same time almost tight after spawn. I lost my whole Lance once like that, because i instantly faced 10 heavy and Assault Mechs and couldnt get any cover in time. But Light Mech Arenas are also difficult if you dont run an OP Urban Mech Build or something like that, as often half the enemies run Urban Mechs themselves and they are just so damn Tanky to take out. You should rly give S Blazers a chance, you are totally ignoring them. They are only 1 Ton but do about as much damage or even more as MP Lasers with similar Heat and the Range is somewhere between S and M Lasers. They rly pack a Punch and if you have a fitting Mech with Laser Quirks for example or good Cooling. Or use them together with like a Gauss Build where you have heat to spare. M Blazers are too hot though, didnt use them so far.

I find the Nightstar gets head shotted alot when I have my AI run it.

I know fun is subjective, but on a scale of 1 - 10 how fun is this. Don’t be assholes just humor me I’m trying to decide if I should clear space on my hd for this. It’s like cutting off a limb to grow a new one I’m kinda attached if you know what I mean

does this mod have all the other variants of warhawks?

How did you manage to either complete ignore the first clan tech loot in the second mission or was that playfully trying to ignore it? xD

i think that Banchee is a bit low an LRM Ammo, you only had short matches and were almost running out. Also it has less weapons because of the huge engine you kept, so yeah the firepower is good for the limited Tonnage. I also got that Corsair from the Solars and used it its rly good. Having a Gauss + LRM Build on it as long range support.

Like i said before, dont waste money or time in SB Gauss, they are just longer range super slow firing LBX. Spreading Damage is not something you want in a Gauss.^^ Also why you so focused on FCS and wasting your money on them? You can only equip one anyway. BCs for the win ;) Also when will you start using Upgrades? Dont you already have Endgame Mechs now worth Putting Upgrades on?

Very hot but very cool! Thanks for using my suggestion.

I request a Build for the Matar Hero Mech, i dont think you covered a super Heavy Mech yet. Try an LBX2 or AC2 Build, should be possible to get 7 to 8 on it, that shreds enemies like a swiss cheese. An ATM build would also be nice on a different Mech tough.

oha someone should be happy now as it was requested to use them ^^ But i didnt knew there was a different version of them, i only knew about the normal dropship PPCs They seem to do even more damage while being lighter. Still Imagine the Heat difference with only Tier 4 ones. But wouldnt it been better to use FCS Modular + BC Heat + BC PPC and drop one DHS? Also Predictive Targeting would be rly helpful with such builds i think :) I would bet that AI Pilots gonna rock this build. The low mounted Arms on the King Crap arent optimal for sniper builds, i wouldnt have used it either

Should just put the Chameleon LPS on the Rifleman with the Null Signature. They work in conjunction together. They are superior because they while they will take up 2 crit slot in every component, they do not require the weight of an ECM. Void also requires its ECM to be functional, and if you think getting shot by PPCs is annoying, you can also add any enemy that counter-jams you with their ECM to that list, which is a lot more subtle.

haha i knew i could count on you for forgettting about the FCS and Sensor Upgrades of the other Mechs you just build, but you didnt use them yet so i can still have hope xD You will get these Solaris Variants now like after every big Arena Match, so Endo XL and DHS are no problem at all anymore, you get nice Module and Weapon Rewards for Arena Rank Ups and can easily make tons of Money. So since you get these Variants now easily better go for High Tier Weapon drops. You forgot something. Solaris not only gives you a Cooldown Quirk of -12.5% that together with the worse Heat is for most Ballistic Builds not a Problem but great. You also have -50% Min Weapon Range. It Means it halfs the Min Range of LRMs and Artillery Weapons, means its perfect for these Build especially for Inferno LRMs. YOu also get a Lockon Buff on it. The Overall Range Reduction doesnt matter on Long Range Weapons like Gauss much anyways and can be negated by a Mech Upgrade easily. Solaris is one of the Best Quirks overall. Dont forget about the Torso and Turn Speed Buff. Its better than most Hero Quirks except the Armor Buffs.

How did you miss the chance to put a DHS Kit in the Rifleman when you are at it? It still almost doubles the Cooling compared to before since you only use engine heatsinks. And if you cool in between the Stealth it would take only half the time ;) You did see that the Heat Dissipation with Void Signatur System is even worse than with the Null and you already had Heat Problems before in a Prolonged fight under Stealth. You should have enough (about 6) of them lying around anyways by now.^^

Ah Ducan horrible Mechwarrior but seems to be a popular announcer.

I dont get it. You have a guardian ECM lying around thats 2 tons lighter than that EW Countermeasures. From what i read Active Probes will get deactivate anyways when stealth is on. But loosing 75% Sensor Range on Top of it rly is uncool when playing a sniper Build^^ And if you replace the Gauss Ammo with Doubles you could at least get 1 or 2 more tons freed. That Zeus Mech is rly not optimized and finished. Misses also about 10-15% Mech Armor. Maybe use less LRM Launchers and take more Ammo since the Torso Ones dont get any Quirk Boost anyways.

You know you will get alot modules like sensors from the mechs you are disposing off, so you will need to update these builds anyway next episode :) But that Zeus build rly went wrong :) The LRM quirks are only for the arms so the torso lrms are wasted. I think INF lrms also loose the hot load firemode making them useless in close range and only the arma had min range reduction. And yeah you totally forgot to check the armor. It's missing 20 armor on the CT and armor everywhere as well, so you totally will need the wasted tonnage. And yeah heavy rifles do more heat but also more damage. The mech is too hot in general with the lasers and lrms. Needs tier 5 weapons :) Ac2 rly only are worth using when you can stack at least 3-4 on each other. I managed 7 or 8 on the Matar Hero, all tier 5. Produces a DPS of over 40 totally insane xD Why not 3x LBX on the nightstar?

Hmmmm That Altlas Hero sucks I probably would have trashed it. Good hard points but the Hero Quirks can't even be called that. Seen normal quirks better than this or use upgrades for the same effect without the negatives :) MY favourite Atlas is the Big AL has 6 Energy In the CT with good quirks, using with 6x S Blazers together with 3 Gauss, if anything comes to close the Blazers will just cut it in half :) Why did you forget about BC like Heat or FCS in general on the Atlas. BC heat is worth more than a heat bank. YOUR Ammo Calculations xD it's like you are forcing yourself to use math instead of using your gut feeling and experience.

Issnt Salvage becoming a bit inflationary now? Hero Mechs are now basically spammed out and you can farm sometimes several per mission. Even if you dont get the Mech itself they will drop tons of advanced Equipment^^ I am not using this mod so, is does it have Options. Many Modders are overdoing it on such Mods and know it willingy but dont care because they want it like that even if it ruins balance. Thats the the Reason many Players dont like the Clan Invasion Mod, since it screws up Balance rly hard with Noncanon OP Weapons. You can basically restart the Mission when you then Face enemies using them and Massacre your Lance. xD People had asked the Modder for a toned down Version or that he splits up the Mod at least, but the Modder doesnt care basically in his reply.

You do know that you can do Repairs and Refits on any Planet outside of a Conflict Zone that you can Reach to start with Stuff. Only if you activate Full YAML Options that limits Works to Industrial Levels would need you to go there :) Also Man these Marauders ignored your Stealth completely killed you almost from 700+ meters with Long Toms^^

That Battleground Mission was Prime in Terms of Salvage and i rly think you made some wrong choices there^^ That ZEUS Hero was a complete waste, it had terrible Quirks, not even Armor Bonuses while the Orion had 2 Quirks with Armor Boni alone and i think Zeus are no good in general. I really had struggled with deciding between some of the Tier 4 and 5 Weapons and Mech Salvage as well tough. Normal Nightstars you will Engage regulary anyways but Heros as well with the New Mods so i would go with the Mechs that rly help you or trigger your tickle ^^ Comstar Quirk i think is a bit similar to the Glass Cannon One i think. p.s. your ASF would had perfectly intercepted this VTOL Spam since its AAM have AOE Damage, wasted opportunity to rly test it :) And forget about SB Gauss, thats a waste of Time. Already ad a few hundred Meters they Spread Damage soo much, that there is no Point in Using them. Gauss are good for centralized Pinpoint Damage over all Ranges at the Cost of long Cooldowns and that they are big Weapons. But SB Gauss just act like super slow firing LBX Cannons. I once tried a Build with them, they do Damage but they dont take out Enemies. But they are good against VTOLS and Tanks and maybe good for Close to Medium Range Headshots. But AI will suck with it. So better Stick to LBX instead, they need less room and have better DPS and still good Heat efficiency.

no longer need star map overview as long as you use YAM as it is now baked in.. also known universe is a mandatory mod to me now..

Finally I've caught up with the series can't wait to see the new builds next episode

When will you assembly the 2 Hero Mechs from your cold storage + salvage ? And yeah that Exploration Mission rly let you feel the 99 Difficulty that was one of the heaviest spawns, only in on or 2 missions i had seen worse but i also had better Mechs since that Charger and Co are far from optimal for something so high level :) Also that Atlas Hero is a nice find, you might be able to put 3-4 Heavy Rifles on it instead :) Also a good arm mounted Ballistic Mech. Highlander :P Sadly most Hawkwolfs suck. the normal Versions have only Missile Hardpoints and no good Quirks and are focused on Peripherie Weapon Buffs only.

Mauler nice for the arena never made could get happy with a build on that.

Loving the series! Keep it up brother!

I believe there are PPC Capacitors that you can grab to buff the PPCs. Did you consider them and find the heat to be too much?

Sorry to bug you with a dumb question, but here it is. I love this build, got all my gatlings to level 5. But the sound isn't there. I love that A-10 sound yours make. Which mod is that?

With that LBX and Gauss find you rly need top dip a proper LBX build. LBX still perform especially well even with AI, the range and rate of fire plus good damage make them almost perfect all round weapons.

LOL what were your Teammates doing in the second Battle? Running way in front of you with their Backs to the Enemy and getting themselves almost killed. No Wonder they didnt do as good like the first battle damage wise, when facing Backwards to the Enemy xD

With the XL Engine Clan you would have room for BC. FC Modular, BC Heat, BC PPC and you could easily take out 1 or 2 DHS without doing worse. On the other Hand with a Command Console that is 3 Tons i think you could still use the FCS Adv PPC + additional BCs and would get an extra Cooldown Bonus of 6 or 7% on all Weapons. But you might need to go down in Engine Size to a 330 or so for that. It goes into the Cockpit Slot and is a really cool item as you can use FCS + BCs at the same time and are getting like Turret Mounts for every Mech Part without extra Slots wasted. I use it on my Gauss Builds for Example. Predictive Targeting would be nice on a Full PPC Build as well maybe. p.s. i prefer the Melee MKIII Gyro because it also gives Torso Twist Bonus but also Turn Speed and Acceleration Bonus. Its a bit of everything and in my Eyes the best All Round Gyro i encountered so far.

i had an idea about the zero damage but forgot it in my sleep xD 2 things tough come to mind. 1. Some weapons require min Range that you even can fire them like LRMs on the other Hand there are Weapons like Artillery that can be fired below Min Range but do Zero damage? So it reduced Zero Damage Distance? 2. Many Weapons at Max Range still do xx% of optimal Damage but beyond Max Range they drop to Zero Damage. It could have something to do with that. But wouldnt that make it a negative Quirk?

2 crit slots of boom juice in the CT of a brawer? You have far more reproductive fortitude than I ...

BRRRRRRRT "A clean headshot"

For a mech spotlight idea I'd like to see what you can do around optimizing an assault mech with a naval ppc (or whatever the biggest gun there is). I always see that weapon in the market but never in action. Kinda like a 100-ton Hollander lol

Where in YAML settings?

I know you told me this before, but I still can not find where you change weapons to tier 5 and infinite ammo.
