I'd finally built a Firestarter, and recently got my hands on a Raven, so I tricked out my Yen-Lo-Ultra-Wang with some jump jets and a gyro as well, and dropped those along with my SLDF Griffin. The Flashpoint at Pilpala in Marik space popped up. I finally decided to try it- sort of, because I didn't have much in the way of light 'Mechs. I'm a convert to the awesome power of light mechs. Almost had a tenth, but then I remembered that a 'Geoduck' is actually a clam. 'Paradise' is a bit of a stretch.) So I've got nine pilots with bird-themed names so far. One of the two non-bird-brains got splatted across a Martian landscape, so now I'm down to the one original, but everyone else is a bird. I've been hiring every Mechwarrior I meet that's got a bird-related name, because it seemed to be a theme. That much damage downrange sometimes cores the target even if none of them hit the head. 72 points is enough to take a head off, and you get eight roughly one-in-six chances per shot. Why did I want all those UAC/10s? A 4xUAC/10 Annilihator is a head-capping machine. Oh, and not all alliance flashpoints require a Target Acquisition mission. You can't ally with someone until a year after you've stopped allying with their enemy, but their score doesn't increase? That doesn't fit what I'd been told. Once I bought up all the UAC/10s I needed (they're _unlimited_ in Davion's stores?!), I figured I'd do their flashpoint and then break the alliance so I could farm affinity with the pirates for the discount. I still had access to pirate stores but not the discount. I decided to see what'd happen with my very high reputation with the Pirates by siding with the Fedrats. There was an awkward moment where a reinforcement PPC carrier spawned literally underneath Dekker, and drove out from between his legs (hence the damage to the Atlas' rear torso). In fact, I think this was the same setup as the Davion flashpoint mission, just with the factions switched. It actually wasn't as hard as I was expecting, since there was a target building you can destroy to disable the turrets, and spawn a supporting Davion lance. For this one, I took the option to drop an assault lance since I've only done them with lights/mediums so far. I'm guessing every faction flashpoint will involve a TA mission at some stage.

And I also didn't have melee mods to let the FSs punch for 150+ points (plus SL damage). If I'd had 4 Firestarters, it would have been even crazier. This wasn't even 100% cheesed, since the PHs were basically baggage. I only missed out on killing them all in 1 round because the last PH missed a shot, leaving one target barely alive to be finished off next round. I jumped behind the leftmost guy and cored him jumped behind the guy on his right cored him as well and so on. The second half saw my guys in a line, facing another line of 4 heavies. Nor was it simply a case of defeating them in detail the first half of the mission was a fight was against 7 mechs including the leader, all mixed up together. Well, screw that my lance of 2 Phoenix Hawks and 2 Firestarters slaughtered the lot of them.ġ1 enemy mechs, 11 called shots to rear CT. You're obviously supposed to kill the leader and run before his escort ganks you. The first mission was a 4.5-skull assassinate job, with a limit of 50 tons per mech.
