mercenary review board worth maxing out?

[csatrad]

I beat the game, farmed allied with all factgions, got 2 atlas and 2 crabs and faceroll any mission. So i feel i beat the game to the point im happy with, except 1 thing.

mercenary review board is 4 skull and 750ish points. Almost half way to 5 skull.

Big question is if there is a reason to get 5 skulls there? What can I get that I don't get now?
My game is completly unmoded and gonna stay like that, wich means.
Im not gonna get any losttech, atlas and crab gonna stay the only 100 mechs. (stalker the only one that can mount 4xLRM20-s)

Im fine just playing a round or two to slowly get there anyways, but some missions spawn reinforcements pretty much on top of my crabs (no armor but can kill anything and kited out with campaign lostech) and just nukes them before i could have my turn. So yeah those missions are alt+F4 and a good 30 min down the drain so yeah, unless 5 skulls is something worth fighting for i rather not run into missions like that anymore thanks.

i guess noone actually did it, figures

I have no idea what its worth but eventually, it fills as a matter of time. I am nearly full. 4 of 5.

[csatrad]

nearly full means nothing, you get like 15-30 per mission and you need easilly a 1000 points. its a joke unless the payout is some insane ♥♥♥♥

[csatrad]

expecially when i just alt+F4 a map cuz they decided to throw the original lance and the rinforcement exectly togather (i got screenshot they literally standing next to each other) on turn 2 at the point of first radar range. you know, cuz ♥♥♥♥ you. And it doesnt matter if they have heavies and 1 medium, if they knock you over they knocked you over and thats it.

why would you alt+f4, when you can simply reload?

@JC

Or accept the loss and withdraw?

Side note the highlander 733 can mount 4 lrm 20's

And ill happily trade you those missions you are describing are the only interesting ones.

Ah, so this is a whine thread ? You should have indicated it in the title.

[csatrad]

not really, im only cuirious whats does 5 skull MRB unlocks, cuz its a ♥♥♥♥♥ to farm it. If its absolutelly nothing i would just quit now.

[Niuq]

As far as i can tell it really does not do anything.

Reputation with individual factions unlocks missions. Unsure if max MRB helps unlock those faction missions.

[csatrad]

What i can say for pretty good certanty that if you do a mission that has no reputation it gives much less MRB like sub 10.

I believe it unlocks certain missions but there is a bug where they spawn as 5.5 skull missions instead which can't be accepted ever.

Edit: Unless you exploit a travel bug to accept them.

There are alot of things (like maxing Merc board rating) that alot of us are hoping will be addressed in a future DLC.
Will that happen? Only the Devs know, but it would be a lost opportunity for them if they have something like the Merc board rating in the game, but just doing the story has nothing much to do with it, if they never planned on implementing/using it in some way in a DLC.

That explains it. I've been wondering why a 5 skull mission for Davion says I lack sufficient reputation when I'm allied with them at over 240 rep points. I just figured that I needed more MRB rating. I won't worry about it now. Thanks.
