So I noticed you overlooked something that I think a lot of people overlook: travel costs. Yeah it's a big increase to price and time to do refits in a warzone, but all the time and money you saved by doing it in an industrial center was burned up (and then some) just by travelling there and back. In my experience, unless you are within 1-2 jumps of an industrial hub or you have a lot of VERY badly damaged mechs, you usually don't save anything by going to a hub unless you wanted to do some shopping anyway.
I was already all about heat sinks but now I'll be all about the blips too. It's hard with relatively complex games to find advice for real beginners as content creators who've achieved competency can hardly remember what it was like to know absolutely nothing. So I appreciate all the really basic advice.
So helpful!! The following things were not explained by the game or any other video/article I could find: Weapon Rarity, How to get ammo, and damaged components.
If you are just in it for the combat the game delivers, no doubt. That aside it´s extremely bare boned in almost every aspect, very little mission variety, limited mech customization options, story with almost no cut-scenes and poor narration, no control over pilot nor ship upgrades and overall it lacks a soul. The combat is good though for the most part and although they have fixed some enemy spawn issues these are still present.
The Spark I agree with all of this. I’m hoping mods can do wonders with this game like Roguetech did for Battletech. Because honestly as it stands, MW5 is a barebones game.
So beginner question, what is the best faction to gain favor with. I am currently in good standing with house davion. Should I move on and start gaining favor with another faction?
no doubt you already know the answer but each faction has it's opposed faction so try to decide early which factions you want to be friendly with and find their opposite so to know who to avoid

I know all of this stuff now, but boy this would have been handy a week ago! Thanks for uploading this, man. I'm sure a lot of people will benefit!
Your voice sounds like Mechwarrior 3 mission briefing
I wish they would put some of the Mechwarrior and Battletech games on console.
Mech assault is on xbox
MechWarrior 5 is on Xbox One just launched yesterday
Wasn't even aware this game existed, nice!

It was made by less than 50 people, what did you expect?

Man, what a silly time that was… 😉
Well done

Step one. Press tab to get to the menu from anywhere inside the ship. Jesus Christ why does no one know this?
Wow, doesn't even look like hte same game. What are you running this one, gpu wise? APU?
What is lost tech?
You can sometimes repair weapons that are red. I always try to repair before dropping as it might save you some time and money.
When I use repair all, it repairs weapons. Why is not doing it on yours?
if a weapon is dmg'd then it'll be repaired fine. if it destroyed, then you must replace it.
Annihilator is shot killer, but I hate it, it is so dam slow.
step 2, get drunk, very drunk, then, you will not be able to hear the very bad voice acting, trust me, you will thank your self :)
