Funny to see my ship been flown by someone else

I sadly heve to upgrade my laptop to play star sitizin

@ 1:11:10 they dicuss the killing of a Elwynn Forest lv6 Kobold boss... LIke it's a raidboss. This takes me back to the days of Leeroy Jenkins. Or Egbert running into bosses in Sunwell making raid leaders think we had a pet pull and causing a half afk raid to wipe itself.

My god the last two hours of this vid is unwatchable. Because of how out of sync it is. This podcaster might want to review these vids. To see how badly they are out of sync. The audio also gets speeded up as well.

So. Many. Jump scares. 🤣

back to one Neurohelmet time is btw automatic when you jump back into the cockpit, you do not need to set the slider extra:)

Got my first hero mech while this vid was on :) Firestarter, 4 mg and 4 flame. Switched the flames for sm las sb tho.

Arguing with the angel on your shoulder

What's the mod your using that shows the heat gauge on enemy mechs?

Turret stomping ftw!

The neurohelmet time control will increase the game time speed while in the satellite view. Good for speeding up walking all the way across an empty map to get to a nav point.

One important things, vonCommander and the extensions are still a little Early Access.. so the target cam can not show the target on occasions, sometimes a thing is not registered and so on.. but we will get there;) Important also: the abort orders button in vC if you want to clear all orders out.

I use to play table top battletech decades ago . My favorite vehicles using the tonnage rules were XL fusion VTOLs with either 3 or 4 maybe even up to 5 medium pulse lasers. Cant remember ( decades ago) . I would shoot and scoot all 4 of my VTOLs on a single mech .

Early game is about the most fun with light and mediums

Assassins are fun.. I think you should build one.

Locusts are fun

That power amplifier you just picked is an item made for I.C. (internal combustion) engines and imo it's not really worth even going for those engines unless you want to go for a gimmick mech with primitive tech

Good timing for a new series, vonBiomes Update 20 is coming (hopefully) tomorrow;)

I think I heard someone say that the last dlc messed with how the AI works in the game and basically broke the ttrulez mod, so thats why it hasnt been updated. Probably has to be reworked from ground up or something like that.

Some mechs just inherently have more upgrade slots than others. Just like how some have more hardpoints than others. I believe it is to add more uniqueness to the mechs, but in practice it just makes some chassis less useful than others.

If you use the commander quirk mod you're commander should be able to keep up with the other pilots.

I played way too much WoW back in the day... dont think I could pick it up again though, that game is such a time sink.

Admittedly, I do not watch battletech. Fun to play, but boring to watch if you ask me, I like action if I am just watching. So, I am always down for more MW5 episodes.

The problem with the griffins weapon groups last episode was that only one of the SRMs was assigned to the weapon groups so you werent using the other 2 SRMs. It was fixed when you saved the weapon groups in the mechbay at the start of this episode.

Fix those weapon groups and that griffin will be 3x better.

you might want to check your weapons groups on the griffin, that was painful to watch.

Blackjacks.. that is a bold choice!

Medium lances are fun

not gonna lie, you firing those flamers from 500+m away is both vexing and hilarious

I wish there was a modern guide on modded mechwarrior. Heat, critical slots, critical hits, the various salvage systems, battle tech weapon types pros and cons etc, hero mechs, damage avoidance, ton of content needed out there as sales and upcoming dlc bring in new players. I played TT in 90s and I’m still lost at times, thanks for your other video covering the basic common accepted mods

Haha trying to shoot that turret right in front of you over and over when all you had to do was take two steps forward and flatten it under your foot.

Gotta keep the weapons on the arms with the Hermes for that +1 accuracy because of the lower arm actuators. It's a nice backstabber though!

If the planet is uninhabited there won't be a store.

When I have had issues with uploads not finishing I just edit some of the text in the description and apparently that will "reset" the processing, then I just wait the normal amount of processing time (a few hours for 4k 1 hr video for me) and it will finish. I did have a video one time that never finished processing, went back and realized that the video file was actually corrupted because I ran out of disk space when I was creating the video and didnt notice. It wouldnt play anything past the first 10 minutes or so and I guess youtube got hung on that during processing.

MALWARE BYTES the free version will clean up your system nicely . Just remember to end it running in the background because it is memory intensive . Just run it for scans .

UAV Compartment can launch a "general" uav into the air. Buying speciality uavs just offers different options. I usually put the Compartment on my slower units that have a open slot. Launching a uav finishes your turn, can't move.

Don't forget about the Improved FCS, you have two in stock now that can go on the Wraith and Hermes for the +1 gunnery and night vision. Also, The ER Large Laser Blazefire doesn't do any added heat damage, that would be orange and in parentheses next to the regular damage. What is nice about the Blazefire is that that particular one is only 4 tons compared to the 5 tons of the regular IS Extend range laser, but it does have that 15% jam chance. It is a good combo piece if you are looking for some extra weight without any slots.

Might be worth a day or two to add that C sensor and Improved FCS to one of the mechs!

You can speed up animations in the menu settings, as well as hitting the space bar to skip it. Moves things along faster when moving around to evac, or if you have a load of allies. You're learning roguetech quick, getting better every episode! I really like Light Engines, often over IS XL Engines. Not as much weight savings but they are more crit resistant.

There is a bug with a few mechs where the secondary ammo from YARW makes the game think you have no weapons if that is the only ammo type on the mech. I have only seen it on the madcat mkii before this video. Last I heard, LittleTex was looking into it. Guess its not fixed yet. At least the weapon still works, just a little annoying haha.

When something happens where updating a mod causes you to lose a mech, you can always use the command console or whatever its called to add the mech back into your inventory. I think the command console is f10, or maybe f11, something like that. You can also get weapons/equipment this way as well since the mech will be empty.

There are several melee specialized mechs or ones that have melee quirks. If you can get a few melee weapons, like a decent size sword and a shield, use triple strength myomer if you have it or find it because it will increase your carry weight. Just make sure your mech has hands and can hold melee weapons, put a big engine and maybe a supercharger or hotseat cockpit, and the fill the rest with things like small lasers, flamers, or other close range weapons and just make sure you don’t put any weapons in the arms because you won’t be able to use them with the melee weapons.

Always check out new planets Hiring Hall when you get there for Ronin pilots or better pilots. The yellow bars under the heat are your stability. When you get past the little white arrow you become un-stabilized and are easier to hit, when it reaches the end your mech falls over causing a pilot injury, vastly lowers your initiative and making you much easier to hit(usually the ai enemies will target that mech exclusively). You are getting a lot of stability by jumping with the Bushwacker. Using Vigilance will lower your stability. X-pulse lasers are exceptionally good beginning to mid games because they innately have +1 accuracy and -1 evasion ignore. Might be good to take the JJs out of the Bushwacker and put that in for more reliable accuracy. Also, for the Hermes might want to move one of the ER Medium lasers from the torso to the available hard point in the arm, because it has a "lower arm actuator" which gives it +1 accuracy. Another thing you can do is cannibalize the Apollo for all the really good equipment inside it until its ready to go again, can't remember what it needs. Taking equipment out costs nothing and takes no days in the mechbay. All of the head components in the Apollo could be beneficial to the Bushwacker, then moving the Sensor Sniper and Improved FCS in the Bushwacker to the Wraith and the Med X-pulses possibly for the Hermes for the accuracy bonuses. Just some food for thought.

The LRMs blew up because you selected to "Hot Load" them when you changed the that in the Mode selection, there is always a chance for this to happen I think it said 50% chance to Misfire. I tend to never switch over. Inner Sphere LRMs have a minimum range, Clan LRMs do not, that is partially why they are so great.

As Torvalis said, morale isn't super important. You will get more negative events if your morale is low, but it's often pretty superficial stuff. What you should note about the monthly budget isn't so much the morale, but the amount of techs that you get that month. Example - If you have 120 days of travel, and all your mechs are repaired and good to go, you can save money by going down to Spartan or Restrictive and having less techs doing nothing. P.S. Always throw the party!!! ^_^

Morale isn’t super important at the moment, you will gain some by passing events and there are some mods that will increase resolve during missions, so you can get your specials sooner. Overall I basically ignore it, at least for me it isn’t all that useful or game changing.

Since you were asking for tips in previous videos here's something I noticed in the first battle. You can click on a hex before moving and check your available targets and hit chances before you commit to a move. Don't waste turns if you can help it. You had the front area of the vehicle open (i.e. no more armor, open internals) when you took the Locust for a back strike to his full rear armor. Yes, backstrikes are good if you can get the armor open or it's already open. However this was a wasted turn. We are talking totally optimal but less turns = less damage taken = less mechbay time & cost = more progression. I'm being REALLY nitpicking here but roguetech gets mean. Still enjoying your fresh eyes on the mod!

You are doing great for just getting the hang of it. It really is a LOT, way more than the base game by maybe 4x or more (in terms of components for the mechs). It will take a long time to figure out what’s good and what isn’t.
