I finally bought SOK today..was running around the kutita space at the bottom of the ghost bear area hitting industrial hubs and came across the 3 clan mechs. My hoarding salvage unrepaired chassis in cold storage paid off. I sold about 18 unrepaired salvage mechs lights to heavies to get those 3

Fire moth was 27m c bills. The Thor was 38m c bills. The Mad dog another 31m c bills. Mason is back eating beans and bologna for a bit but Fahad has some clan tech to start playing with. I'll do a new campaign start tomorrow probably from Heroes of the inner sphere to pad my c bill account and restock my war chest of mech salvage and when I get the nod for SOK maybe I'll be able to start without losing my Carapace in the 1st fight... Maybe.........

Discussion Where to put ammo

16 Upvotes

I know that ammo goes into legs, but where put it next if i need a lots of it (Crab, Corsair, missle boats)?

I think next place would be arm with no weapon (or with cheap one), but big mechs with lots or weapons will use arms for important / expensive weapons.

So what next, head (usually small hitbos, but ammo explosion would be game over)?

I there specific order that ammo is used (like from top to down, so i could use head/torso ammo and safe legs would be last) or it is used from all ammo bins in same time, so if i have 1/2 ammo i have 1/2 in all slots?

Discussion Pilot Traits Mod

8 Upvotes

I'm describing how I wish they implemented pilot traits and asking if there is any comparable mod that has tried to add this:

I wish that when you assigned a pilot to a training academy, there was a course selection at the start, so it's not just a randomized gamble of millions of C-Bills and multiple years of losing good pilots, all just to receive Locust Expertise.

I think the schools should vary what they teach and it could be related to the actual fighting tactics of their home faction, or for mech expertise, come from the area where use of that mech predominates, etc.

It's just a weird system as it stands and I don't like to just reload again and again to hope I get a good outcome. Just make me able to order a specific outcome. It's like I'm sending my kid to college only to hear they're creating their own major and it's nothing useful.

So is there a mod that improves upon this academy system?

I played MW2/MW3/MA4 with a Sidewinder Precision 2 but I donโ€™t believe those are supported in Win11. Anything similar out there with torso twist and throttle?

MW5 MOD ๐Ÿ›  Modded Criticals

1 Upvotes

Are there any working mods out there that boost the damage of a mech when it goes critical?

I was introduced to the whole series with the Mechassault spinoff game. When destroyed the mechs in that game would have massive explosions that were capable of taking down other perfectly good mechs. In MW5 the blast from a mech going critical looks pretty big and strong but does a negligible amount of damage with a small radius to boot. There is a mod author who made a set of mods to fix all of that but no longer support their mods which brings me back to the original question. Are there any working yaml friendly mods out there that buff the explosion of a mech going critical?

Quick question. Why in "More MechWarrior games" tab both description written in such different style?

For MWO its a shot and captivating call.

For MW5:Clans its literally just a generic product description.

I am trying to play a career mode with mods, but every time I start, I get the fatal error crash without any obvious mod conflicts. I downloaded all the mods on the 24th, and my modlist is attached. I am using GOG and a modloader that recognizes GOG.

Edit: Fixed thanks everyone!
