il take the argus, fit it with long range lasers and missiles. I also like the flea  reminds me of the raven and its so damn annoying in close combat

[warhammer651]

Scrapper is fricking awesome.

[warhammer651]

bizzarely, he was also the cheapest at 220k

[EuchreJack]

I'll take Buzz, cause it matches the sound of PPCs going off!

If we ever find ourselves with 12 mil and nothing to spend it on, GET AN AWESOME.

They rule.

[muwahahaha]

I think I'll grab Scooter, although Scrapper is great, he's got no room for improvement which is what I like seeing. I'll grab that spare Uller with missile loadout if I may.

Also, as far as getting an Awesome, IIRC they had absolutely awful heat efficiency, you'd be better off paying an extra 2-3 million and getting an Atlas or Daishi and kitting that out like an awesome, but with more heatsinks.

[Spartan 117]

Atlas' are pretty rare, I've only seen one, on the market. Ever. Never seen a Daishi either
 
Then again I never got past the third planet.

A single man escort mission? Really? I didn't even know what the hell I was supposed to be escorting! And the assassination one, I fail the mission the second I spot an enemy.

[muwahahaha]

Once you get past that point the market starts swimming in Assault mechs, not long after then I had 2 lances entirely in Atlases and Daishis spamming AC and PPC fire everywhere. Your enemies also start fielding a few of them, I think in one of the mission I had to destroy like 15 mechs and a bunch of them were heavy/assault.

If you are referring to the one where you are supposed to stand guard over the peace meeting, I found that a lot easier when I was in a larger mech, you could try doing other missions till you can get a bigger one. Also, if you saved Hammer in the previous mission they help you out about halfway through. I never saw who it was that I was supposed to be escorting, I just destroyed every enemy I could find on my scanner and passed the mission with flying colours.

[EuchreJack]

I've found the Sunder to be ideal for the third planet.

Personally, I much prefer the mercenary system in Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries (M2M) over the one in Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries (M4M).  Let's just say that the mercenary system of M2M makes M4M look like easy mode.

[Sensei]

Off topic, but the other day I saw Mechwarrior 1 for the SNES. It was four dollars, worth buying?

EDIT: Nevermind, it's on Abandonia, runs with Dosbox.

I was using an Awesome during the peace talk mission, here's what happened.

A limo drives by, two APCs guarding it. The APCs go hostile, I vaporize 'em, and see some enemy mechs running down the street at me. I start shooting at them, and before I can even kill one I lose somehow.

[Sensei]

Did you smash something you weren't supposed to?

[Spartan 117]

Not unless PPC's do splash damage.
