Hardly terrifying. It just means you've got a good 5-10 minutes to do something else.
He streams for so long these days I find its best just to mute it and check the video from time to time to see if:
A) he's in a mission
B) the opposition is interesting
C) he's dithering over movement locations without checking the range overlay and congratulating himself on clever tactics that almost invariably involve being caught out in the open.
Human activities historically have always focused on areas adjacent to water. Most major cities are adjacent to a river or lake. A large, renewable source of water is needed for supporting any large group of people, not to mention being needed for many industrial applications, etc.

Sure, but in this case, we are talking about a pirate base, not an industrial plant.
Not the seafaring kind of pirates, either.
If the drop ship could be used like that. So many people would get in the fight, then immediately call down the drop ship so it can help fight every time.
Because they are "LosTech." Technically, what the Directorate did in the intro was a war crime.
So rare that you aren't supposed to do shit to them because new ones can't be built?
I just managed to catch a little more of Cohhs stream, since I stopped after he found the Argo so as not to spoil the rest of the campaign. It was the mission where he encountered a SRM carrier for the first time, and his expression and reaction to it was priceless.
I noticed that he had significantly improved not only his tactics, but also his knowledge of the mechanics of the game, and I only intended to watch the point of the encounter with the SRMs, but ended up watching the rest of the video (until 3 am mind you) That is called doing it right.
SS leaves me more frustrated as he went on, and he still makes a lot of the same long drawn out decisions that ultimately go nowhere, or are sub-optimal at best, you'd think with the amount of time he's put into it by now he'd have a MUCH better understanding of making better and quicker decisions.
From what I've seen.... he hasn't.
different play styles I can understand, but not learning as you go along? Kind of ruins the point of being an influencer.

Almost. They are still built in limited numbers, but that is only able to barely balance attrition from age because targeting them has been outlawed. If that became legal again, interstellar travel would grind to a halt as nobody could find a dropship to get them to the jumpship.
really that only applies to combat drop ships. Cargo ships, like say the Mule, while still produced in tiny numbers in this time period are pretty damn common. I'd guess in the 500+ years of dropships in the battletech universe that the number of pure cargo dropships we know nothing about is simply huge.
2.7M for two KGC-0000 pieces, able to sell mech's intended for sale anyway to make up nearly all of that before touching a stash of 20+ lasers and ammo stockpiles but passes on it. And still available missions in system. In a throw-away campaign. /headdesk
well its still his game.... better to try the TTS and look if it works well.
I would at least stuff a second lance to drop double time on each planet ... no downtime trough repairs/Medicine

Have you been watching his streams for 3 days downtime, or a week for a pilot head hit? Taking severe damage generally isn't his outcome. The TTS is going to work as it's buff described, is there really a question about that?
You are indeed correct, it is his game and his sandbox so collecting powerful mechs isn't the priority but blowing stuff up. /shrug

Actually 2.8M if we round up to even number, but still... not joke sum to throw at parts without any way of knowing you obtain 3rd in any reasonable amount of time. This whole time he has met just one Assault class mech.
And another assault piece in a store, the Highlander remember? It was an opportunity to prioritize spending but we ain't got time (2 weeks) for that.
If you buy a completed Mech does it cone with its stock load-out of weapons and equipment? I know if you build it from parts then you have to provide the load-out from your inventory.
