What is best in BATTLETECH-Life?

[Prussian Havoc]

Running that ragged edge of financial ruin.

To me that is what is best in a BATTLETECH-Life. : )

What do you find best in a BATTLETECH-Life?

 

[Havamal]

Oh snap.

Did you really need that Argo upgrade yet?

 

[Jade_Rook]

(Obligatory)

To crush your enemies, to see their mechs driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their commanders.

(More serious)

Running into a tough mission, surprised by enemy forces, or simply outgunned, and managing to pull through to victory with superior tactics.

One of my favorite memories is being out flanked on a destroy convoy mission. I had a perfect intercept position in a mountain pass. Enemies roll up with a Demolisher, then a reinforcement Jagermech starts shooting my mechs in the back from beyond sensor range. Juggling range from AC/20s while not exposing myself to the sniper was a lot of fun.

Came here to post this. Hats off to you Jade.

Does Hans Davion throw a memorable wedding reception?

You must understand, I NEED those High-Capacity Power Conduits. How else am I going to upgrade my ARGO’s Engines so I can go FASTA?!

The “Extravagant” spending on the crew and sundries... maybe not so much.

: )

BattleTech Life:

Taking out additional life insurance on Dekker to make sure his funeral arrangements are covered.

Best in BattleTech life?

Probably that unexpected head-shot that takes out a pristine heavy or assault that had you worried you might have to withdraw.

Or when the shot you're certain is going to core your 'Mech leaves a single point of CT structure, and you use that very 'Mech to kill the last enemy.

Really, when the unexpected happens in general; the game is rife with those situations and it does so much to pull you back in for "just another mission".

 

[MeiSooHaityu]

Ok, something more positive...

Watching that punch or kick make direct contact with an enemy cockpit. Then watching the mech just crumple to the ground.

Well, more positive for me anyway...not the MechWarrior watching mech knuckles reaching out to give them a "fist bump".

 

[Donvale]

That feeling of extreme smugness when you cleverly use multishot or stray shot and manage to get two or even three killing shots in one go!

 

[Kereminde]

BattleTech Life?

"I can totally take on a Lunar base assault, what's the worst- oh no, how many Javelins are in the OpFor?!"

"They can't hit me from there." (Spoilers, they can. They can get three head hits in a row too.)

 

[Corraidhin]

Running with a full mech bay of Highlanders, just because you can.

A Highlander is like a really good hot cup of tea to someone British. The solution to all problems.

 

[Lighthorseman]

Plinking away at a fully armoured Orion on an assassination mission with commando sensor locking and a panther and Vindicator firing single ppc shots from outside it’s LOS for a contract that took over 50 turns to take the win.

 

[Chaon]

To find yourself outgunned, out numbered and pull through to get a victory when everything in your gut is saying run away.
It may be a pyrrhic victory but it's a victory.

Just paint the Argo red.

 

[Colonel Flamestalker]

Just paint the Argo red.

That's going to be quite a lot of red paint.

[Corraidhin]

Now there's a clip to warm the heart.

Battletech-Life:
Flying nearly broke to this nice planet with the shinny missions and noticing that my reputation is too low to do any of them.

 

[Ghostwalker]

The ever-so satisfying head-shot kill of an OPFOR mech from your mech that WILL die on the next round the OPFOR mech gets to shoot.

What is best in Battletech-life? High pay and full salvage rights. All you people who think Battletech is all about barely scrapping by from day to day are weird.
