playing Roguetech because it is light on my hands... which are extra oww after getting zapped today..
Poor my poor Stormcrow got it's laser arm shot off..
Taking three Clan ER Medium Pulse Lasers with it.. which are worth like a month of my company budget each..
Well fuck!
Buuut it did cockpit kill a Catapult II with CUAC20 in the other arm.. and I still haven't salvaged a heavy mech yet.. so right there is a shiny CAT-II..
POWER GOES OUT!
@wobblewuffess I keep considering picking that up, then I do dumb things like buy contacts
@IrisKalmia Battletech (the game) is pretty good. It is a solid tactical turn based game with stompy mechs.
Roguetech is hilariously painful and fun and frustrating because it throws all the Max Tech bullshit in (with some thought to balancing them in the game at least) along with rogue-like starts (that are heavily moddable if you can open a json in notepad++)
Along with an asston of interesting complicated mechanics that are missing from the base game (ammo switching, stealth, tacs etc)
@IrisKalmia Like... I just did a Roguetech specific Flashpoint (short multi-mission contracts with story) in which I got the choice of siding with comstart to wipe out some pirates... or the siding with the Pirates to "KICK WOBBIES IN THE GONADS! YARR! CUZ THERE MECHS ARE BIG FAT LOOT BOXES!"
Turns out... Wobbie mechs are infact big fact loot boxes filled with experimental and prototype shinies..
@IrisKalmia Look... I follow the call of SALVAGE... and C-bills can't buy the best shinnies..
Who wants to salvage some pirate ductapped together, spot welded drek when you got SHINY WOBBIE BLEEDING EDGE TECH READY TO BE DRAGGED OFF THE FIELD AND STUFFED IN MY MECHS!
