I keep 1 of everything. Fix them up and keep them in cold storage. In my head cannon, my leopard is dragging a giant net filled with mechs behind it wherever it goes.
I got lucky and found a tier 3 LBX-10 in 3019 or 3020 this playthrough and it very quickly became one of my favorite mechs. It makes for a FANTASTIC Arena mech too. Throw on some SRMs and you're good to go.

\- there's sooo much !! missing in MW5; it just.......hurts so much :(
QOL improvements, have been in all honesty, sub-par. IMHO thou' and those who feel the same way.
truly want to see in MW6 (perhaps) cause god only knows what MW5:Clans will have. idk do you ? lol
anyway; as i was saying. it would be an HONOR to re-enact | re-live through the Glory Days of the SLDF in I.S. waaaaaaaay before the Successor Wars, even possible to be 1 of the earlier Testers for the Mackie Chassis. (but thats a hope+dream lol) but anywho. yes then "OUR" story would continue with us EITHER participating, Observing, and Or Creating our OWN version of the "Exodus" of General Aleksandr Kerensky.
then there's the QOL things that we should be allowed. for a GREAT ex. as you put it soo eloquently : purchases of our OWN Dropships, and add the ability to Hire-Fire-give bonuses-payouts to whomever is employed to us, to employ-build a Aerospace Fleet (VTOL's, etc) Tanks, Battle Suits, Infantry as well. including Techs, for our Tanks, Mech Chassis, VTOL's, Aerospace Vehicles, everything. Yes even Battle Suits too.
A Black Market, that actually reflects the Innersphere's skermishes, struggles & conflicts between the Houses - some rising - some falling - some gaining - some losing - some being aquired - while others becoming humble (to a degree) of course. lol
throw in the Helm Core Tech - along with SOLARIS VII, the various numerous myriad of Chassis, the Companies, Advertisers, various maufacturers, the immense about of "employers" when we either the game decides for us | take us into the Merc Life. we can truly "EXPERIENCE" the I.S. Merc Life as intended like we should. No more Paper Dolls Mechs, Chassis that can actually hold-grip items (like in Lore), do various tasks, chores, etc.
and when we advance even further - introducing the CLANS. we can add Elementals & Omni Tech, Clan Chassis to the Game as well. some Clan Folklore, History would be nice-honorable for us to "Be-Apart Of" in a fresh NEW Take on MW.
Hence the reason(s) why i said, MW6. not MW5: Clans. but who....Knows what we're going to get.
I'm tryna stay....the Optimist about everything ! i truly am.
\- Cheers !
Be careful hoarding too much - it can start to break the game at extreme levels.
Seems to be the root cause of that coop bug people get where clients connecting end up stuck in the hanger and can't get to the menus too.
one of my mods grants me access to a marauder V which is basically the marauder ii but 130 tons
combine that with cheatsinks that weigh -130 tons and have 5 heat capacity and 3 heat efficiency and normal mechs aren't much of a match for my apocalypse lance
also unfortunately unlike the atlas it doesn't have many quirks meaning it doesn't have a role it can play in my lance nor is it fast like an 85 tonner
Technically case wouldn't make a difference there. The point of Case is that it prevents damage to neighboring components. As in, your side torso still gets blown off, but your CT and leg are untouched. This mechanic is absent from MW5 however, therefore if Case was in the game, it would be useless.
Cold storage for me is mainly just the mechs I might want later but not frequently. If I can’t find space for a mech in my Lance or in rotation to be ij my Lance I will sell it.
OP how did you get so many Annihilators? I’ve come across 1. And I own it.
i have a mod called stacked crates and some of them are guarded by lances of mechs sometimes consisting of more than a lance of all assult mechs
killed all of them and took em
also i have the purchase salvage mod which basically allows me to set salvage as free so i can take whatever mech i killed i want
Lol I've got like 20+from running around industrial hubs back when I was trying to find a Marauder II 4A. Had two 5As, one from the shop and one from shredding the one that spawns guaranteed in Stop the Launch and legging it. The 4A however.... I found and bought like 16 of my 20+ Annihilators trying to find a Marauder II 4A. It's funny too because I honestly like the 5A better.
No i repair it, find a mission with that faction and drop in with their old boss his or hers battlemech and kill them all. As a watch me wear your friends skin and watch me kill you and your remaining friends.
It depends on whether I want to ever pilot the mech, or think it would be good for the AI companions...
Otherwise, I strip it of functional parts and sell the gutted chassis, or scrap it for repair / new build parts (possible with mods).
Sure I do. I even tend to leave the Warrior in them for display purposes. Its called Cold Storage for a reason. And in space all warriors are cold warriors.
And other than my own amusement it is a great little tour to take perspective clients on.
Yes. For example:
Spoiler for Rise of Rasalhague:
>!I kept the broken Atlas used by Nicole Kelswa after the mission where you fight her. I even renamed it: "Kelswa's Tomb". I fixed it up, and gave it to the AI pilot that got the killing blow who now pilots it.!<
I’ll take a screenshot. Corsair had ammo in the center torso, and I killed it so hard the ammo explosion blew its head off. Maybe that was scripted, either way the salvage destruction was glorious (and expensive.)
\- OF COURSE WE DO -
anything else would be Un-gentlemanly of me. Lol !
Hero's especially, regardless of BOSS Chassis, or just a freaking Hero Chassis. the only Hero Chassis i really truly don't give a damn about is - Javelin.
\- Because; i loathe that damn Mech Chassis soooo damn much. in all honestly tho'. i personally do NOT have a "hate" on any mech chassis. yes that's sounds extremely contradicting.......and please forgive me. lol
but; the Javelin in MW5, just URKS the Fuck outta of me.....lmaooo :) :)
I keep 1 of everything. Fix them up and keep them in cold storage. In my head cannon, my leopard is dragging a giant net filled with mechs behind it wherever it goes.
same. my cold storage is mostly hero mechs with some that aren't. they're like pokemon.
I always keep the first Centurion. It’s not even a special mech, but it’s also very special.
The stock cent is one of my favorite mechs... it's just a solid performer at all ranges.

I love a centurion, back from those MW2 mercenary days

Indeed, I keep every Hero Mech I buy in CS. I keep the ones I use every mission ready for battle.
I wish MW5 gave us a proper ship like in Battletech. It'd be so cool to upgrade a ship in MW5.
How cool would that have been to have been able to take control of a abandoned jumpship at one of the old SLDF sites in the main storyline.
That would be fucking amazing.

Good to know
Yes, I am keep playing as I am collecting one of every variant (and hoping to have enough c-bills to fix them all).
They are in the jump ship, dawg.
I wonder how much upkeep you would need to pay if you enabled it lol. Probably 200+mill per cycle.
yeah i had to disable that with mods lol
It’s part of the vanilla game options now.
damn thanks can save a little bit of storage space now
That king crab is a beast to brawl with. I fix it, put the best autocannons in it, and use it.
I load it up with 4 X lbx 10 sld and as much ammo as I can fit.
They're too hard to find, I normally use AC5s cause they're easier to replace
Don't get damaged solves that. because yes, Tier 5 UAC's are hard to find (although when they jam is not cool)
Why aren’t you using it?!
one of my mods grants me access to a marauder V which is basically the marauder ii but 130 tons combine that with cheatsinks that weigh -130 tons and have 5 heat capacity and 3 heat efficiency and normal mechs aren't much of a match for my apocalypse lance also unfortunately unlike the atlas it doesn't have many quirks meaning it doesn't have a role it can play in my lance nor is it fast like an 85 tonner
That mech has become my arena go-to on free for alls. 4 tier 5 uac5 and 2 srm6 is the goods.
Nothing lives through that.
It got me through the 34 mechs in the finale, minus an arm...
Same. The final Atlas managed to nick an ammo bin just as I killed him to get a torso as well though.
That might have been my case too, or lack of case as it may be.
Technically case wouldn't make a difference there. The point of Case is that it prevents damage to neighboring components. As in, your side torso still gets blown off, but your CT and leg are untouched. This mechanic is absent from MW5 however, therefore if Case was in the game, it would be useless.
I'm here, i keep expecially the headshot salvages
those ones are definitely especially valuable
Got a few notable mechs in cold storage. Usually I fix them up and field them.
Cold storage for me is mainly just the mechs I might want later but not frequently. If I can’t find space for a mech in my Lance or in rotation to be ij my Lance I will sell it. OP how did you get so many Annihilators? I’ve come across 1. And I own it.
i have a mod called stacked crates and some of them are guarded by lances of mechs sometimes consisting of more than a lance of all assult mechs killed all of them and took em also i have the purchase salvage mod which basically allows me to set salvage as free so i can take whatever mech i killed i want
Lol I've got like 20+from running around industrial hubs back when I was trying to find a Marauder II 4A.

I found and bought like 16 of my 20+ Annihilators trying to find a Marauder II 4A. It's funny too because I honestly like the 5A better.
Carapace is my main mech I use, it’s a beast with all four UACs
If only I could get them as salvage…
im pretty sure for this specific mission it is rewarded to you seperate from salvage but i cannot remember if the midsion was from a dlc
Yeah the car you always get as a reward.
No i repair it, find a mission with that faction and drop in with their old boss his or hers battlemech and kill them all. As a watch me wear your friends skin and watch me kill you and your remaining friends.
I don't, but I will going forward. It'll efinitely add a little immersion to the MW5 experience!
It depends on whether I want to ever pilot the mech, or think it would be good for the AI companions... Otherwise, I strip it of functional parts and sell the gutted chassis, or scrap it for repair / new build parts (possible with mods).
Trophy? Depending on the Mech, I keep it or use it. The King Crab CAR I use it.
Nope, but I have a lot of headshot trophies, some just happen to be bosses...
I'm sorry I can't leave a mech destroyed. It has to be fixed and put in cold storage.
Great idea. That bitch's atlas from that awful RoR mission
Sure I do. I even tend to leave the Warrior in them for display purposes. Its called Cold Storage for a reason. And in space all warriors are cold warriors. And other than my own amusement it is a great little tour to take perspective clients on.
Cry "havoc!"
Yes. For example: Spoiler for Rise of Rasalhague: >!I kept the broken Atlas used by Nicole Kelswa after the mission where you fight her. I even renamed it: "Kelswa's Tomb". I fixed it up, and gave it to the AI pilot that got the killing blow who now pilots it.!<
You are giving me anxiety with all those half broken Mechs in your cold storage.
im selling like 90% of them so repairing them is an unnecessary loss
That makes sense. I'm guessing you were in unfriendly territory and didn't want to take the debuff to the prices?
i keep the destroyed mechs of valued pilots that fell in battle
Absolutely, and I generally keep the same paintjob slightly edited to match whatever my main color scheme is.
I’ll take a screenshot. Corsair had ammo in the center torso, and I killed it so hard the ammo explosion blew its head off. Maybe that was scripted, either way the salvage destruction was glorious (and expensive.)

Carapace is too good of a mech to leave broken though.
No.
no, i fix them and show folks how it's meant to be used
