[@TheRedneckGamer1979]

Really, going in undertonned is a very clan thing to do. You aren't undertonned Bara! You are bidding away your heavier forces to preserve resources and gain more honor!!

[@nickdumas2495]

It would have been a nifty alternative if you actively bid down your force to get more honor points to spend on the upgrades. Scale down the mission achievements (primary/secondary/loot marking) by the bid value of your lance to get the final score to spend on upgrades. Maybe invest some "honor" into being owed "favors" and such if you need more currencies to spread around.

[@Iznuts69]

bidding was already done by the time you even get to the mission briefing. you're just being told what you need to do at that point.

I think it's what Baradul said, busy talking. Unless their brand is no-commentary playthroughs, they have to keep talking to entertain their audience, and that takes a certain amount of brainpower. I know when I'm driving if I try to talk at the same time I often go right past my exit or take wrong turns. For a lot of streamers it often seems to mean forgetting to read on-screen instructions, not looking at the map, etc. A semi-established workflow probably helps to not sound like a blithering idiot, too, and it might be a little difficult to pause that workflow to do something different in the middle of gameplay. One of the other gaming KZbinrs I watch doesn't keep up a steady stream of patter and they don't edit their videos, and the pauses where they stop to think things through are sometimes kind of excruciating as a viewer. It's like having the video or the game just freeze for 5-10 seconds.

[@Hinokaze]

Even if Baradul's not a clanner he's one of the better mech pilots on You Tube. He knows how to kill every mech using their weaknesses and yet brings out the strength of any mech he plays. Yes He's got me hooked watching this. He makes me scream less at the screen even with his not reading the mission messages. That is much better then watching a bad player.

[@keebbles]

Makes a point. Proceeds to ignore the very point he makes. Talks over comm updates. Boggled at what to do next. Scans, but never looks back. Hacks a scan target. Doesn't read that it's 1/2. Ignores other gated area he needed to scan. Still uses others as meat shields. Something very unclanlike. No, I don't know why we get frustrated at his gameplay and are confused ourselves on how he managed to succeed anyway. 😊

[@odinulveson9101]

Baradul.. I thought you honored lore friendly stuff😂 Regarding the loot system makes sense. 1: You are NOT Inner Sphere. You dont salvage to survive... 9/ 10 of the time. 2: You are Clan Smoke Jaguar. They were VERY above touching inner sphere tech. To be fair its not the rule for all Clans. Clan Wolf were much more pragmatic, less rigid regarding gathering IS tech and freeborns. If we get fat DLC content for other Clans and even a FRR DLC campaign with a perspective of their very first Clan encounters, THEN it makes sense to have the other ( improved ) or even hybrid loot system.

[@ZackHeise]

Give me an Ebon Jag!

[@Varadiio]

Perhaps that should have factored into their choice of Clan. I think Baradul is frustrated with the incredibly linear nature of this specific implementation of the Clan system. Unlocking new mechs with currency, and omnipods with another currency, both tied to completing these relatively linear story missions, doesn't give a ton of choice. We are spoiled by all the modded Battletech/Mechwarrior titles full of community content mechs. I think people want to gravitate toward certain mechs that aren't just the handful they give you access to here. Omnimechs are at least pretty flexible, but that's not necessarily why a certain mech is someone's favorite.

I'm good with the looting system for *this* game being more limited. You're a member of one of the more resource rich Clans at this point in the timeline when they're still flush with gear. No one's even considering taking and using resources from Inner Sphere, freebirth trash. Just consider the cross chatter in the earlier missions when you first encountered melee mechs; the Clanners had a hard time not laughing themselves to death over how ludicrous and backwards they thought a "mech with a stick" was...these are not the kind of people looking at battlefield salvage thinking "oh man, we REALLY need to slap that on out mechs!" I like that they're holding to the lore for that. If you want to play the salvage game load up Mercenaries.

What I learned from my 1st full run through, I left a lot of upgrades on the table. Just racing for the biggest mech you can run makes you miss out on really good omnipod upgrades for lighter mechs, especially if you can run two of them at once, you get the points for each mechs achievements. I cannot wait until they get the coop fixed so I am not stuck in slot #2 and can get back in the fight if my mech gets destroyed. That and more SRM ammo per ton...yeah!!

I have to agree with others: you aren't a Mercenary or Inner Sphere force any more that has to loot Clan tech to get better. You are part of a powerful, well organized, and well supplied invasion force. Looting would make no sense--I understand your gameplay style formed in a different situation than actually being part of a Clan. But I hope they don't change the looting system just because players got used to playing as Inner Sphere mechs. I hope everyone adjusts their thinking and shifts from survival to pushing for total victory and honor!

[@shawnadams1460]

Honestly the loot system makes sense for the Clans...they could care less about IS tech for anything other than raw materials. YOU use them to upgrade your mechs and repair and research teams....that is ALL they are good for. BTW...Am I the only one that wants to see the Mechwarrior universe represented in a MMORPG? Like I want you to be able to choose the Clan or IS house you serve, OR be a mercenary. I want your fights and missions to not only affect your company, but holdings in the universe as well.

Baradul, it is understandable that you are displeased with the. . . loot system as you call it. You are clearly unfamiliar with a real military unit having spent so much time as a desgra mercenary selling yourself like a soiled dove in red light district. Perhaps, I can enlighten you a little about the situation you have now found yourself in. First of all, there is the technological differences. From outdated coolants to archaic and inferior focusing lenses for lasers and missile 'tracking' hardware and software that barely deserves to be called that, the Sphereoid equipment is simply incompatible with the knife's edge Omnimech technology. Secondly, the technician cast is hard at work repurposing what useable scraps are even high enough quality to be put into service with clan equipment. Your kills suffer more collateral damage than they should. Were you more precise with your gunnery, more scrap would be available to be claimed. Which leads to my next point. You are a Star Commander of Clan Smoke Jaguar, not some junk peddler sifting through the ruins of planets for scrap. Cleaner kills leave more equipment for the technicians to retrieve and be repurposed. Fighting honorably earns you respect within the warrior cast granting more leeway from your Cluster and Galaxy commanders for requisitioning mechs, equipment and personnel. You bring dishonor to Cobalt Star talking like a merchant about having more freedom to choose what scraps you are entitled to after a battle. You would do well to embrace the way of the clans. Focus on the battles, not the concerns of the labor and technician casts.

how does the evasion stat even work in this game?

Maybe damage reduction? Having that high of a chance to negate hits entirely would be broken.
