Multi missions and repair

[Rogue]

Hi all, this may be a dumb question.

But can I repair the armor of my mech when in multiple missions? The 3 shield ones that have to be continued straight away.

And if I can, how do I?

[Wayz]

Nah, they are back to back missions. Have all mech's ready before you start, prioritise what mech's for what missions, alternate your mech's & repair all mechs between jobs so that they may be ready if took light damage the previous mission or roll out with damage.

Plan ahead a or take the risk for greater gains etc.

When setting up your lance for the 2nd or 3rd drop, you should be able to visit the mechbay and request repairs...

Though some Multi-missions take short enough time that you might not be able to complete repairs....

As long as you have a full dropship it shouldn't be too bad of a problem as you can switch out each group after each mission so they can get repairs.

Most of the time no.
Playing with my brother tho, we had some missions that had a 2 day timer on them (as in they took 2 days to do the mission) where we got banged up enough (just starting the 90 difficulty areas) that a few 4 drop missions cut us close
Pay was GOOD tho

Early On I ran a few of these with only 2 or 3 mech lances as just didn't have enough to go round.

Well if you need to, the mission can be delayed if some of the mechs in your lance are being worked on as I've seen the mission be delayed if you wait for repairs to finish.

Thanks all for the reply

Great way to make cash, I have enough mechs to plan, so will do that.

By the way, is there anything above a rare Atlas in vanilla no dlc game?

Yes I also have 2 King 🦀s but I find the Atlas a more diverse weapons platform to use.

I actually favor a Stalker over any of the 100 tonners (except maybe the ANH on some missions where speed doesn't matter... and that, with 4 solid slug t5 LBx10, 8 tons of ammo or the like.... ONLY weakness is speed)
2xLarge Laser (er or standard, depending)
4xMedium Laser
4xSRM6

Use the LL at long range, use the SRM to sandblast anything that gets in their range (most enemies will try) use the ML when the SRM run out

No ballistics (except on the hero, but he gives up almost all missile power for it) but far greater firepower than most mechs can even imagine

[Wayz]

In the hvy to assault tonnage range + JJ's keeps me reasonably happy. The hero kings and atlas I like and have them in active garage but honestly if it don't jump I get bored no matter how much firepower they have soon enough. (Well the BH & CAR are active anyway)
As for weapons, missile, ballistics or laser, if it has enough hard points it will get the job done.
I like mediums too but I keep losing arms now so they all in cold storage unless I want to go back to lower lvl missions for a play.

I don't think any of the Stalkers get JJ :( (or at least none in MW5 or MWO)
I think maybe 1 of the ANH does, but I don't think that one is in MW5

MOST Assaults don't get JJ, partially because of just how heavy their JJ are (Most assaults give up mobility for firepower/armor as a rule anyway)

[Wayz]

Lore based mech variants adds a few but no actual "jets." There is a an Atlas K3 and a Rifleman 8d and maybe a few more that I have not noticed but no Annihilators or Stalkers with JJ's have been added..

I do have misery in my actives though, is one of my favs too and that paint job is badass!

Hmm As everyone said above. Have a full mech complement (12 mechs). Be smart on how you deploy for your mission type.

I was once deployed to a zero G moon in the outer rim. I was running a WSP-2A-X Super Wasp and got ambush by a pirate a in AS7-D-DC Atlas, who had been hiding in a crater - powered down. Needless to say, the first thing I did was hit the jump jets. Next thing I noticed is that I was headed into deep space away from the moon. I remember the pirate on comms saying I was a, " Flying turd " or something to that effect. Last time I ever used jump jets...

Lol good story, what game was this in? I have been thinking low grav would suit some of the biomes and suggested such on VonBiomes @ nexus but no replay so not interested I guess.
I mostly don't jump to high, very strategic bursts etc. I guess it depends on what biome and contract type more than anything else. it s just a "big sigh" type moment when you are stuck in canyons looking at the map for a way around thinking damn I wish I had JJ's.

Made that story up just for your entertainment. Gave a few laughs when I wrote it

Eh, I'm a role player from way back. I like these sorts of moments and can see it happening etc. Gm's I know would hold me accountable for stupid decisions.
