TY for putting all these links in one location!

You can all keep adding to it here when you notice an FAQ, hints, advice, or guide thread, post it here.

@Havamal, isn't this subforum generally for BattleTech stuff unrelated to this specific game? Wouldn't this make more sense as a sticky in the parent forum, since that's where mechanics for this game are discussed? With a minor tweak to the thread name, it could take the place of Eck's guide and instead reference that guide prominently.

EDIT: The post has been moved and re-stickied, thanks!

 

[Voranth]

Here's my reference, and agree with HonorKnight's note above.

I have a compilation of strategic advice for the early game. This is advice dealing with things 'not' on the battlefield, but while on the Leopard drop ship.

It would, if there were more real estate there. (As we discussed previously) The main forum sticky area will be for dev stuff and new announcements for the present. Eventually those will end up in the news and updates sub as they age out of the main and then perhaps this will be revisited.

Otherwise lets avoid discussion here, this is not a discussion thread.

Now that we're past the busy times surrounding initial release I'm moving this to the main Battletech page as discussed.

Carry on Mechwarriors.

Uninstall the game cleanly, which can help resolve many bugs in the v1.0 to v1.1 transition, allowing you to reinstall the game from fresh.

where is the interactive map that shows you were all the best planets are?

This one?

Map of the Inner Sphere 3025 (interactive, web-based)

 

[Fefnir Eindraer]

no. the one that shows all of the planets with attributes. so if you wanted to find +++ weapon you would click that option and it would add up manufacturing, rich, high population, star league and if a planet had all four it would be a big yellow dot, 3/4 was red, 2/4 another color, 1/4 red, 0/4 grey.

then there was the same for star league mechs or somehting.

basically the map that showed me the hurik, something something, tirangle travel pathern that gave you the best chances to find +++ weapons in the shops.
