"We promise, we don't have any more nukes." The cylons, probably 😂

The Tessa is an odd one, the layout is not balanced, 1 arm is completely useless, not even a shield, but the affinities are spelling out front liner? You definitely need the Dreadnaught to stay on there, the PPCs are too hot for the platform, & it's not suited for long-range, I think this could literally take the Shadow cat's place, just move everything over in terms of SRMs, &, even the stealth-X, give it some pulses to finish. It wants to be up front taking a pounding with the stability buffs.

That uneasiness you feel with too many parts is when you go half & half.

ive found up around clan wolf and steiner space they sell clan weapons frequently just so you know

CZcams stuff!

Not a huge fan of the clan era ppcs as they are just too damn hot. U do have an IS thermal exchanger which is actually better on cooling than the clan one fitted. If u must use them u have 4 srm 4s u could use and have 2 tons of ammo. In my current playthrough on 1 of my mechs I have 2 snubnose ppcs with ppc capacitors on them which work well ( 85 damage and 50 heat I think ) especially when paired with an avenger rifle and an atm launcher with HE ammo. Think thats on my black Knight

Use clan srms to save weight. 2 4s n 2 6s Add 2 tons ammo. Put ppc or srms on arms for accuracy bonus. Wait it's not an omni... She could be a pulse boat. Or er ppc + clan lrms . Wonder why you've never seen a mms yet. Snag it and any ammo when chance arises. My first chance was a crusader missile boat. Fully optimized for that role. But it was a primitive engine. Sucker blew itself up doing fire and forget mode on 60 MMS (that's 120 missiles with same heat) It mostly missed a turret and exploded then stackpoled. The vtol and LAm enemies next to it evaporated too. Unsure if chain reaction stackpoles, but salvage was bereft of anything those 3 mechs carried. I had 6/22 salvage too. Ended up taking everything left w 4 wasted salvage slots... Nearly 40 missions and good salvage destroyed itself. Next mission a freaking 1 mdm laser vtol did hit n run. Tandem 5 pack rocketsx2 put big guy in hospital, and headshot 4 more (this was last patch) . So 5 of 6 Mechwarriors injured. 2 vtols and 1 tank had to do rest of mission. I went outside , touched grass, had a coffee, pet the cats. Looked at status and cursed RNG JEEZUS . Didnt help. 15 million in repairs and parts lost in 2 missions. Started new game.

Maybe go for a clan LRM to go on the Tassa next? Or more clan heatsinks to help the overall build. If you can get some arm mounted missiles then she can chill in the back as long range fire support with the peeps too. Keep up the good work bud!

I'm sure that Ryoken Tassa is going to be a very expensive unit for drops, like 1 red skull by herself... ans Stable with no ballistic hardpoints, that's weird.

in your current configuration you've got 5 turns of fire. maybe think about switching the 2 extra launchers for more ammo and any extra weight into heat, cause remember the heat efficiency doesn't take into account desert or moon or other hot environments. If you want energy, Don't know if you've got an LpLc's or anything like that, might be better for the efficiency and the weight, allow you to run cool in hot environs.

3 srm6's or 2 and 2 4's still doesn't really change your ammo problem

I mean the 2 SRM6's aren't bad, just feels underpowered for 75 tons to me, specially with 2.5 tons of ammo, presuming you either drop armor down to .5 or use a patchwork if you have one. If you're going to run that then the comms could work, I personally believe it works better in lrm/atm/mrm focused builds, SRMs are pretty accurate given how close you have to be for them to be effective.

If you're going energy on the Ryoken, switch out the cockpit from the comms++ and into something else, that would fair better in a dedicated or primarily missile using mech

Eh, I might've left the lbx, it's fairly common and the IS variant can be come by easily enough in the IS. The Uac5c isn't a bad pick just wouldn't have been my priority. Also, I would say as a Pirate company I think it's totally a pirate move to field some lordling's favorite mech. It's like having a gold plated ak47 lol

I agree with the Ryoken and exchanger, now to see what else you pick, were it me I would take the ceres smasher ppc the mplc and the CHSK, dunno how many extra you have but I like to have 3-5 extra, either way sells for a fair bit of change. Now let's see what you picked and what you get gifted.

400 t AND it's in the desert

My last Blackout mission featured MRM160 and lots of rockets verses my Orion round 1. Was not a good outcome for me.

If you can control the heat, ER Brightblooms are amazing. I honestly prioritize them in the salvage screen. Less heat than a Clan ER Medium and much more range. I honestly don't mind the damage falloff because I'll take the 15 damage at 640 knowing Clan ER Mediums wouldn't even be in range 15>0. Thats how I look at it at least. They are good for slow Mechs who have trouble getting into range. They are especially effective if you have range sensor or range Battle Computer!

I wouldn't exactly call a 1½ hour episode "short" xD

Do micro lasers and micro pulses fit the Badger? If so, start moving some to it. Also check if you can upgrade systems and fcs on Badger. Just saw a short where guy had upgraded systems and armor as well as adding the micros to a Badger. @ .25 tons or .5 they should fit. Saw a cloud buster that had 2 laser arrays vs 2 large tronnels. Spamtastic.😊

Meme machine should minimize full spin up unless over 80% and short range or firing into a crowd. Perfectly fine to shoot 3 or 4 to save ammo and recoil.

Too many stand and shoot. Move then assess. Setting yourself up to get focused that way. RIP treb.

I remember early in the run we ran into two of those tenocha(?) VTOL And I will make the same comment now as I made then, thank goodness the AI often doesn't make them as aggressive as they probably should be. Those things are hard to kill and pack a ridiculous amount of firepower for how much armor and invasion they generate

Another battle showcasing how often the AI just cheats

IMO, all those big guns you have in some of the mechs are not a good match for your pilots, not enough accuracy. And I have the impression that this season I see more No sensors and No visuals rolls...

Definitely need the Dreadnought gyro in the Treb for next time, & a engine XL for the weight capacity(if you keep it around), I think you can consider the Bright bloom lazers from earlier on the Huntsman as a way to conserve ammo for 60+% shots, it still misses a bit too much despite having the reach.

Everything got damaged yeash

Glad you checked on the BA. That crazy Canadian Pagan has been racking up kills with them Happy Father's day to you too!

Cowardice did those guy's in, only dangerous 1 was the helicopter.

Happy Father's day to you as well

Don't spoil the bad news, let us find out the hard way!

"Oh no, we can make it work" I had to pause this and laugh for 10 minutes, that was too funny!

"Lets see if we can kill the guy in the cockpit. Oh shit, we actually did it!" I would definitely consider that payback for the headshot earlier lol.

That snipeshot absolutely made me speechless. That was an extremely lucky shot.

I love how this game reminds me of the show when it comes to the battle replays. I'm surprised I didn't know of this game before

Hey, don’t worry about If you missed any Story in the combined Deadlock/Broken Alliance campaign, this phoenix symbol for more story was only added in Sin and Sacrifice, there will be more of them in the other DLC campaigns. The only reason I think they added it in was that they wanted to add in more story in. (PS Sin and Sacrifice is actually the end of the Season 1 story of BSG Deadlock, Season 1 is Deadlock, Broken Alliance, and Sin & Sacrifice. Season 2 is Resurrection, Ghost Fleet, and Armistice. Anabasis is part of Season 1 but it’s more of a game mode that actual story, there is some story but it’s not that important, but it will be talked about in the next mission.)

I thought this was RTS & you were pausing the game? 🧐

1st mission & you barely avoided destruction of a ship? That's what I call a hook!

As an aside in regards to your ending response: I miss the days CZcams existed without the money aspect, I very much think it has ruined the site generally, always continue to treat this as a hobby 1st, & not even a job 2nd. People who think you deserve support will always find a way to do so, that includes myself, I hope Rumble wins their lawsuit against Google/CZcams, that will open the floodgates to small channels like yourself to do exactly that, & not be arbitrarily moderated, or have 30% chopped off whatever people would give you.

Dreadnought gyro would benefit the Cat since it is always in the lead, but I think that's an Omni, could serve the Huntsman instead since it's strolling behind, & act as the additional armor I mentioned in the form of resistance?

I wish FTL meant "Faster Than Light", that would be badass missile ammo, 😆Those multi-optic meds you picked up might be a good choice for either Treb(missing his backups), or Excalibur(space saver).

If you keep Huntsman around, this mission(on top of a few others)have definitely displayed the need for stealth, or more plating add-ons, cuz it's kinda crazy a single gauss shot from a yellow jacket at that range almost put it out of commission that soon?

Good point of size Delta, BUTT the stats on the Excalibur far outweigh the negatives of the size Delta by itself, & in addition the XXL gyro you've yet to install makes all the difference.

Earmarking this when I'm done watching your original run.

Can you strip down all the battle armor and make 1 good set? Down grade their armor to carry max weapons and roll around in the maxim or bandit? Love the channel bud, keep up the good work

Grinding between missions? Don't do that, put everything on the screen my dude

Not a bad haul

Rgw diwbsude if the IS one is weight it's 2 wieght as opposed to the 1 for the C, and that themal heat sink is quicksell garbo, I dunno if it's worth the stain of Quicksell to even put it in a mech lol

The Gyro is a choice pick for sure, I saw a Narc Launcher but it was the IS garbo one, but that beacon ammo is decent, it's kinda common though and the ATM 12 P looked nice
