Female viewer (and gamer) here. I'm interested in tactical games and have troubles falling asleep without some sort of "information noise". Your Roguetech vids are both interesting enough to create such "noise" but not extreme or existing enough to be a problem in this context. Your MW5M series is just "why not" for me. Your outro a little bit loud though. Playing some Battletech myself, but with BTA instead of RT.
Weird I fall asleep to these too, I notice even when I'm passing out I never turn it off, I prefer to be listening to something, either telling me about a game I'm playing or just random documentaries.
For the Crusader I would say both "you earned it" and "don't use it yet". Keep it for now and introduce it once you build your first heavy from salvage. So when you finally get to heavies you will start with two. The light struggle is fun to watch, I just hope you keep this one going when the clans comes out...
As a woman who works overnight sleeping during the day can be hard. Your voice yapping about tech and mechs overlayed with machine guns and medium laser fire just puts me to sleep. So thank you for your service
As a mercenary, the gift of the Crusader was fortuitous... However, to repair that mech from heavy damage, would routinely cost as much as some of the matches being fought with it. The smart commander holds back such a mech until the time is right. And until the incoming cbills justify its use. Remember, you have a whole barracks of mercenaries to pay / feed / maintain as well! :-)
yes, in-lore a merc commander would keep it in cold storage at a designated planet that is easy to come back to as a "fall-back" investment, incase of a bad mission or something
If something is broken under the endo, the endo appears as broken as well. Remove all the broken items before assuming the endo is broken. Save the crusader for later, but use it's weapons.
I say keep the Crusader, you earned it Man that Urbie just mashes! I keep yelling at the screen when you bypass all the double heatsinks you need...LOL Keep em coming!!!!
Die XL Engine C, die bei min. 49.34 im Inventar angezeigt wird, hast du bei min. 20.28 als loot genommen. Sie stammt also nicht aus dem Urbanmech-IIC, wie du es bei min. 49.34 annimmst. Und wie immer: ein sehr unterhaltsames Video!
I'd say use the Crusader. But, the other option not mentioned was, "You earned a reward, so take the cash value." It gives you money for buying upgrades and repairs, but not an outright jump in power.
As to the CRD, you did work for it. Without the constant and consistent stream of victories, you wouldnt have gotten it. Effort expended, reward granted.
I would keep the crusader in cold storage to use later after you've salvaged heavy mechs to justify using it, or strip it for its parts to use in other mechs then sell it, you did grind the solaris rep after all so the parts wouldn't be bad to take if you don't feel like using the crusader.
You fought for the Crusader, so use it. It's technically "battlefield salvage ." Outfit that Crusader with a couple of LRM 15s, a couple of magpulse srm6s and call it a day
I suggest buying every machine gun you find and upgrade them. They’re very cheap and higher than tier 1 are fairly rare. You’re using so many machine guns you’d benefit I think.
Yeah....YOU EARNED that Crusader. So I would run it, but ONLY when you have the bankroll to keep it running, know what I mean!! One bad mission and the repair bill could make your checkbook go BIONG!! Keep the vids coming Baradul, look forward to them!!
You earned the right to use the Crusader due to fact that in this playthrough you did a lot of Solaris missions. If you still feel uncomfortable due to your own words of "liking the struggles". I offer you the following rule .. "You shall not use the Crusader in combat until you have another Mech of 65 Tons or higher." The consequences are that you need to build up your mech bay to support 2 heavy Mechs and you may utilize the components/weapons or also rebuild the Crusader if you see fit. You may take or leave this rule as you see it fits or not. Had the same problem a year ago findig a fully functional Starleague Battlemaster at the start of a Campaign, while still struggling to build up a light lance.
Keep the Crud, tweak it at your leisure, and use it when it's time to bust out heavies. In the meantime, enjoy the hectic madness of lights and mediums for as long as you can.
Baradul, the firestarter's endo steel structure was fine, the broken parts were the floaters, and it's visuals bug out in the mechlab when it's been crit,as long as the primary endo steel structure in the CT is there you don't need to replace it.
He ist still on the same Planet to get the 4 bins of AMS half tons ammo. So he might get them if he remembers and read your post or both in the next episode.
I decided to do a new fresh run myself. It is going so horribly. They are throwing Blackjacks with two heavy rifles, Assassins with two SRM 6, or all SRM light mechs. Absolutely tearing me apart. As for the Crusader, you earned it through fighting in the arena.
I understand the hesitation when handed such a big power jump, the early game can be a lot of fun as you struggle to work your way up to some bigger mechs. Maybe put the Crusader in storage and pull it out as soon as you've assembled a heavy mech yourself?
technically, the crusader is an earning from the battlefield, as it goes as a reward for multiple missions (fame) and does not differ from the regular pics
I reckon you earned the Crusader, spoils of battle mate. Think about the amount of times you have gone in under tonnage this play through. Any mech given after a fight you win is earned and you should put it in the lance. Also sell the fee ones to get better crazy gear I reckon. Have fun either way mate.
I always take damage coverage, at least 1 pick. That way at least some of your repair costs are covered. I very rarely take C-Bills. Always salvage and damage coverage
I know its probably unpopular but I vote against using the crusader. Personally, I restrict how much I abuse the arena. You get the best mechs, the best rewards, with very minimal risk (only a single mech can be lost at most in many cases), and there is almost always some way to cheese the mission. My personal rule is to only accept missions from a single "stable" for the whole of a playthrough. In addition to being lore friendly, it makes the normal missions much more believably typical.
If you didn't earn the Crusader, you also didn't earn the 2 million c-bills that came with it so you can't use them either. Earned the mech, earned the money.
When I did a similar challenge I sold any given mechs and dismissed all given pilots. But I think you've earned this one. Also: Aren't clan stuff only in the Blackmarkets or do you not have that toggled?
33:30 AMS ammo As for the Crusader, you seemed to prefer keeping it in the cold storage, so go for it. Or use it as a cantina turn in after you strip it.
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
You totally earned the Crusader, I vote use it! Systems Online, Weapons Online, Lights are green, thunder jets are GO!!!! Cheers B!

Yeah, same. These vids are perfect to fall asleep to for me
Great to watch on the side I agree, the MWO ones though get my full attention
same, i played some mw2 as a kid but only recently got interested in battletech and mwo. love your vids
Weird I fall asleep to these too, I notice even when I'm passing out I never turn it off, I prefer to be listening to something, either telling me about a game I'm playing or just random documentaries.
You earned that Crusader! Arm that bad boy and get it on the field.
I vote for using the Crusader. You earned it in your matches, and deserve to reap those rewards.
you won the mech fair and square, its a good reward for being the "underdog" on the arena, use it
For the Crusader I would say both "you earned it" and "don't use it yet". Keep it for now and introduce it once you build your first heavy from salvage. So when you finally get to heavies you will start with two.

My 8 year old daughter enjoys your videos and is getting pretty good naming mechs and their classes when watching or playing the game herself
As a woman who works overnight sleeping during the day can be hard.
Your voice yapping about tech and mechs overlayed with machine guns and medium laser fire just puts me to sleep.
So thank you for your service
You earned the Crusader. Use it.
You earned the Crusader. I think it’s funny how the arena missions want you to deal damage quickly only to spawn you over 2km away from the enemy.
As a mercenary, the gift of the Crusader was fortuitous... However, to repair that mech from heavy damage, would routinely cost as much as some of the matches being fought with it.

You earned it. You had to puy in time and effort for the Crusader. It's like a bonus for meeting your sales quota. lol
You earned it. You can let it sit for a while.
If something is broken under the endo, the endo appears as broken as well. Remove all the broken items before assuming the endo is broken.
Save the crusader for later, but use it's weapons.
Save the Crusader for later, build on your light Mechs first, get them good and then move up.
the infiltration mission was rough. much respect for not reloading a save.
Basic Machine Gun ammo works with the Clan Machine Gun's reason you can not find any.
The Crusader is spoils of war. You earned it. Run it.
You've earned the crusader! I vote use it!!!
Thanks!
Loving the grind Bara..I'm sucked into mw5 modded myself right now.
i would say a reputation reward is well earned mech
All you really need for infiltration is a single stock locust, and take all the money for the mission.
Yup. I use a Firestarter with jumpers and just run like hell
"Look at the bright side kid, you gotta keep all the money!" :D
use the crusader! you earned it! It was not some simple mission, it was a grind mission. You did it you earned it.
Yeah use Crusader, you earned it through fame
You earned that mech. I'd say use it for arena only if nothing else. It's given by the arena because it's what the people want to see.
YES! Use the crusader. You earned it!! And did I mention I love Urbies..?? Superb episode.!!
I say keep the Crusader, you earned it
Man that Urbie just mashes!
I keep yelling at the screen when you bypass all the double heatsinks you need...LOL
Keep em coming!!!!
I often have it going while my wife listens. She likes your voice!

Hey you took the beating, so I say you definitely earned it be Baradul the crusader.
You earned it. You probably going to rebuilt it so you still need to collect the components.
totally earned the Crusader as it was rewards for grinding arena. put it to good use!
You totally earned that mech by running all of those missions. Feel free to use it.
totally earned that crusader you shall use it
Yeah....YOU EARNED that Crusader. So I would run it, but ONLY when you have the bankroll to keep it running, know what I mean!! One bad mission and the repair bill could make your checkbook go BIONG!! Keep the vids coming Baradul, look forward to them!!

I agree with some of the comments. That Crusader is earned. And you didnt "plan" for it.
Keep the Crud, tweak it at your leisure, and use it when it's time to bust out heavies. In the meantime, enjoy the hectic madness of lights and mediums for as long as you can.
I love the early game grind. If I was playing, I'd say, keep going with the salvage. It's more fun to me 😁
Search your heart, answer your ancestors, CRUSADER!
Baradul, the firestarter's endo steel structure was fine, the broken parts were the floaters, and it's visuals bug out in the mechlab when it's been crit,as long as the primary endo steel structure in the CT is there you don't need to replace it.
You earned the Crusader, use it. You took extra damage and risk to gather fame, so anything you earn from that I would say is fair game.
You have earned the crusader.
You got that Crusader as a reward, it's legit.
Also you've missed AMS half ammo in one of the stores.
He ist still on the same Planet to get the 4 bins of AMS half tons ammo. So he might get them if he remembers and read your post or both in the next episode.
You earned the crusader, I say either use it, or sell it and use the money to improve your others, if you don't want to go to heavy yet.
Run it, you got it from working the battlefield which counts as earning it in my book
My vote is use the Crusader. You earned it through your mission grinding for fame.
I decided to do a new fresh run myself. It is going so horribly. They are throwing Blackjacks with two heavy rifles, Assassins with two SRM 6, or all SRM light mechs. Absolutely tearing me apart.
As for the Crusader, you earned it through fighting in the arena.
Use the crusader. You fought and did the extra requirements to get to that point so it is an earned mech.
Totally use the crusader. You earned it with the trash can bringing the trash out in the duels.
I understand the hesitation when handed such a big power jump, the early game can be a lot of fun as you struggle to work your way up to some bigger mechs. Maybe put the Crusader in storage and pull it out as soon as you've assembled a heavy mech yourself?
You earned the Crusader, so I say use it.
You have earned its a reward.
Use the Crusader. You earned it.
double PPC shotgun to the face... that's gotta hurt o.O
Also, use the crusader, ya earned it :D
what the crab needs is some damn ferro armor
Honestly I'd use the crusader you earned it fair and square also can't wait to see the urbieapocalypse
You earned it, you keep it!
😅 The "Mongoose Mon-69 Part" @44:40 Niceeee. 😅
Reply if you restarted such disasterous missions as in the past episode.
Use the crusaderr!! lets get some heavy action going CRUSH YOUR FOES
You earned it, so sell it to buy what you need.
The Urbienator striketh!
You earn it through the arena fight so it's yours to use.
I think grinding the arena qualifies as "earning it." Just be ready for those arms to be expensive if an AI pilots it!
It is like a quest reward. Just like you would get if you ran a series of missions for a House except it is for the Arena. I would say use it.
technically, the crusader is an earning from the battlefield, as it goes as a reward for multiple missions (fame) and does not differ from the regular pics
You earned it, run it!!!
I do love a good comeback story...
I reckon you earned the Crusader, spoils of battle mate. Think about the amount of times you have gone in under tonnage this play through. Any mech given after a fight you win is earned and you should put it in the lance. Also sell the fee ones to get better crazy gear I reckon. Have fun either way mate.
We love Mechwarrior!
Once you get a heavy mech or two through natural means, then you can deploy the bonus crusader.
the crusader is yours boss !
Good video Bara. When are you going to turn in that Cantina Mission for an Urbanmech? 🙂
You earned the Crusader by adjusting your play to gain the Fame points...
I always take damage coverage, at least 1 pick. That way at least some of your repair costs are covered.
I very rarely take C-Bills. Always salvage and damage coverage
I know its probably unpopular but I vote against using the crusader. Personally, I restrict how much I abuse the arena. You get the best mechs, the best rewards, with very minimal risk (only a single mech can be lost at most in many cases), and there is almost always some way to cheese the mission. My personal rule is to only accept missions from a single "stable" for the whole of a playthrough. In addition to being lore friendly, it makes the normal missions much more believably typical.
i'd say you earned that crusader seeing as you had to fight for it to get enough fame to be given it.
Strip it if you want, save until you get into heavies though. You earned it but a heavy would throw off the challenge. Like a lot.
S7 special you earned
You earned the Crusader, run it.
Use it, you earned the crusader.
Take the Crusader. You won it fair and square. Besides, it's not going to be cheap to keep and repair - Heavy, after all.
If you didn't earn the Crusader, you also didn't earn the 2 million c-bills that came with it so you can't use them either. Earned the mech, earned the money.
😎
i vote for selling the crusader, you definitely earned a payday. keeping it in storage or using it would both feel weird.
When I did a similar challenge I sold any given mechs and dismissed all given pilots. But I think you've earned this one.
Also: Aren't clan stuff only in the Blackmarkets or do you not have that toggled?
You earned that crusader use it but only when you get to higher lvl missions tell then benchwarmer or emergency only mech
Crusader was earned...use it!!!
Keep the crusader but don't use it until you have a full lance of medium mechs. Or something like this ;)
love this series keep it up imma watch ur last vid real quick. i watch them in pairs.
17:45 It seems that Cata was afk :D
33:30 AMS ammo
As for the Crusader, you seemed to prefer keeping it in the cold storage, so go for it. Or use it as a cantina turn in after you strip it.
Use Crusader, You earned it by natural progression. Not playing it will give an artificial falvour to the run.
Use the Crusader and there was a half ton of AMS ammo for sale that you did not pick up.
a lot of comments say use the crusader cause you earned it but if you do you might as well stat doing heros campaigns to "earn" the hero mechs
