Bickering thread

[Beagá]

The Directorate had a good run. :bow: It is a shame that a minority of rabble-rousers and malcontents joined with Magistracy Bad Actors to pull down such a True Patriot and Visionary Leader as Director Espinosa...

I don´t care about the director but if I could marry to his daughter waifu I would consider becoming a permanent employee of the directorate.​

After all, no Dakka.

Pfft, if I want dakka, I can use the ANH-1A I scored from a "Capture Base" mission on Glentworth. (Or maybe the Ultra AC/2s I hear Edmon is hoarding.)

As for who exactly I'm working against? That's simple. Bankruptcy. Everything else is politics I'll let the liasons fight over. But Lady Cunningham . . . annoyed me. Therefore she gets no favors for a couple years.

Hmm. She must not like you. What did you do? She's been good to me and I've been taking missions against her territory for Liao.

I feel bad when I beat up on THEM too much, and like to throw them a few bones from time to time.
Warriors for the working day, and all.
Plus it keeps Max feeling like he can deal with me at his leisure, I did help some pilgrims escape him and it gets tiresome having Surmire land the Hysteria on Maskirovka agents who keep <cough> "intercepting" my inbound drop coordinates somehow "mislabeled" as my current location.

Things always go full circle.

Draconis combine was his starting point iirc...

Wait 6 months, I bet the Avatar will change again.

Variety is a spice of Life. :bow:

Back on the old forum I finally managed to craft my mostest favorite Avatar ever! : )

Well . . . I may have taken a mission to handle some separatist group, Yang mouthed off a little, and I refused to blow up a civilian center to give her a good photo-op . . . maybe something to do with that Shaunavon affair.

 

[Gauntlet]

Ah, yea I do recall seeing Superman as Witcher. Could be good! Netflix can put out good content, like HBO and AMC... so I'll cross my fingers!

Netflix CAN put out good content but it's a hit or miss thing . . . sometimes it's good, sometimes it's a dumpster fire . . . and other times it can be a good dumpster fire.

I just caught a Capellan Assassin spotter for two Catapults and two LRM Jagermechs on the roof of a regular unarmored building in a city Battle. It had one leg that had been randomly stripped of armor by one of my mechs last round just trying to fire on it to strip its evasion for the next mech up.

Evil plan formulated!
I had my Black Knight with multitarget opt to target the Assassin with the "A" selection Bucket, and the building with the "B" bucket.
Fired.

First salvo took the leg. Assassin fell down.
Second salvo took out the building.
Assassin falls on its only remaining leg.
Leg destroyed.
Assassin destroyed by having lost both legs.
Enemy Mechs lose their firing solution.


I love city combat!

 

[Prussian Havoc]

I remember destabilizing a Mech on top of one of the taller downtown buildings. It fell flat on its back, on the top of the building. Next Mech up destroys the building with me fully expecting all that fall damage to transfer to the Back Armor...


...yeah, that didn’t happen. : (

Sounds like a typical dishonorable Fedrat tactic.

I’ll heave to remember it if I get a chance.

Also, the ASN-101 has been a really annoying melee pest when I’ve fought it. The AI has greatly enjoyed zooming in for a punch and a spray of small lasers. It’s pretty nasty.

Dishonorable? I'm pretty sure those 2+ enemy lances were'nt there for a waltz. A legged mech saves the pilot too...
I'm not sure what expectation of my companies engagement methods they had any right to expect invading the center of a Fed Suns city.
Some people have a strange view of honor.


Joking aside, I'll have to show you the modifications I made to it after salvaging.
I had to bump it up a bit to be able to hang in 4-5 skull combat while not sinking too much of a fortune into a crunchy chassis like that. I'm happy with the results.

I took it on a Target acquisition mission against assaults and it performed admirable enough.

Really? I heard they were playing music with a 3/4 time. Perhaps you misinterpreted it?

Nope.
All those LRMs they were slinging weren't meant as a love tap.


At any rate, I made it up to the Capellans. Next mission I escorted one of their Lances in a joint operation with Draconis Combine forces on a Capellan border world that had some pretty heavy Davion invasion forces.
Neither Liao or Kurita force lost a single mech.

Ive been bouncing around the border worlds taking missions for the side that I think is in the right on the issue. Feels like regulating the conflict...
It's not the people's fault that Max and Michael Hasek-Davion arent fit to serve...

 

[Kereminde]

Come on, if they were serious it would have been Infernos.

I wasnt going to wait any longer to plumb it further.

Eh, chalk it up to curiosity on my part!

 

[Havamal]

:Shrug:
I don't get too curious about massed incoming fire beyond putting a stop to whatever is doing it. Promptly.
YMMV

I mean, there is the alternative...

Sure, feel free to explore that yourself. Hahaha. I passed.

Ah, here we go;

I will load on some zero weight arm mods when I free up some more if I havent switched gears before then. (Infernos, Narc maybe)

That looks fun.
