Crimson Crusade Part 4

[Leto]

What kind of stupid mission is that ? With the maximum of 50 tons I have to make sure that I can buy or capture a suitable mech, because I haven't had anything with 50 tons for a long time, what's the point of something like that ?
Why do you build in missions that hardly anyone will ever do anyway, because most people will hardly want to fly through space for a mission until they can finally buy or capture a suitable mech?

That's why instead of selling mechs that I'm done with I throw them into cold storage and refit them when I need them for one of these scripted missions.

[ICE 9]

Ditto. I try to keep what I can in cold storage for possible use later.

I eventually sell most salvaged mechs after it becomes obvious that I will no longer use them. Despite this, however, there are some light and medium mechs which are very useful later in the career/campaign - especially when you improve their lethality and mobility with quirk upgrades.

Also, it helps to know in advance, which mechs to keep and which mechs to sell. This knowledge can only be gained by completing campaigns and gaining the experience necessary to determine which mechs are the most effective for each of the mission types (Warzone, Beachhead, Garrison, etc),

It also just helps that the massive reduce in tonnage limit is because it's meant to be a stealth mission, you're not exactly going to be stealthing around with a Heavy or Assault class mech.

well, when you know a mission like this is coming, i would have saved a small mech for myself, but like this :(
anyway there is only a small mech that I don't need as a reward anymore.

Literally any light or fast medium can do the mission with no trouble. Many mediums can do the mission the wrong way (by killing all of the mechs in the city yourself) with little to no trouble.

This is why you don't THROW your mechs away, you have a Cold Storage for a reason make use of it, you have nobody to blame but yourself on that front.

Missions like these are why you keep a Phoenix Hawk handy.

I think it's a little silly that you arbitrarily need a 45 tonner handy when there are better scouts suited for this mission upward of the 50 ton cap

ITS MEANT TO BE A STEALTH MISSION, less mechs means less chances of detecting them on the sensors since they would be causing enough ripples in the ground to be considered earthquakes!

I know it's a stealth mission but I think it'd a shame that you're just cockblocked from using Catapults, Grasshoppers, Griffins, and Wolverines. The last two especially since they're by design heavy recon mechs. I'd much rather see that mission limited to one person rather than a tonnage limit emplaced.

Technically it IS limited to one person because in order to have the maximum of two mechs you would need two 25 tonnage mechs.

[Insano-Man]

I must be the weird one here. I don't even throw away trash mechs; I keep them in case there's a cantina mission asking for one.

Of course, that also makes it very difficult to explain why I have an entire catalogue of naked, legless Locusts.

That's where I hop into my TBT-LG, roll around at the speed of sound, and turn everything inside out with missile spam.

wellll you could mod your game with cheatsinks or any of the other ones that allow you to lessen the weight of a mech and do that........

That doesn't circumvent the weight CLASS limitation, you will not be able to use a Heavy or Assault class mech because the weight limitation will not allow you.
