After Sidestrafe got so much grief on his earlier run, I couldn't help but root for him.
But its hilarious after all that to see that his B-Tech stream is pretty much crushing the others in popularity as of this moment - more than 600 viewers (there's on French-language stream that's pretty close).

Sidestrafe built a solid base of loyal viewers thanks to his beta marathon run of 80+ hours.
He knows this game a lot better than any random streamer that just picked up the title for showcasing.

That's lame - but one easy player option might be to mmediately put them in storage so you at least have to spend time/money to equip them if you want to use them
is he starting over again? - so mechs get full load outs and get built immediately?
he has to start over- beta build saves are not compatable with the press release version that he has now
Yes and yes.
Also I'm glad he's retained such high viewership. He clearly is playing because he enjoys it, not just for new release hits (unlike.... well, just about everyone else streaming right now).
Enjoyed watching SideStrafe, thanks for listening to the feedback and including him on the list to receive the new build.
AI looks to be having trouble pathing to the objective over rough terrain. They’re just clustering together like penguins.
I'm really not sure if they were having problems with the terrain or that they were getting conflicted over which direction to attack because they were being surrounded, the former behaviour is a problem, the latter doesn't seem so bad considering that the units were so weak that a single rear attack would likely destroy them (though probably YOLO choosing a direction and going for it would be a better strategy than dithering).
I stopped watching him because he spends 82 hours on a mission that should take about 20 minutes. 15.000 minutes in the mechbay being silent alot.. and the the chat gives me cancer. wanted to have a gander at what the new build looked like.. after watching three hours i think i saw 15 minutes of game
Oh, looks like 'unintelligible gurgling' was too graphic a description? Changed to 'unintelligible noises'.
I kind of hate the rating systems.
'Gurgling' too graphic. War & genocide as entertainment commodity are fine though.

It's nitpicky garbage that serves no purpose, IMHO, and generates a lot of tedium on the development side.
AI just made a very interesting positional move, seriously. As if it were predicting the player's movement.
Probably just a happy accident, but still, was neat.

I understand the reason for rating systems, but I think it's taken too far in many respects, and they're something of an anachronism due to the widespread internet use and access that we have now.
