You just undermined thousand of years of military training and preparation. Yes you can be prepared and sure of your responses in actual combat before your first battle. It has been done since first militia was formed.I agree the cop should not face a civil suit, he should be facing capital punishment for failing his duties. I'm talkng specifically about the civil suit, it's up to each service branch how they procecute deriliction of duty. I disagree to a large extent with your assertion that you can predict accurately how anybody will react when face with a firearm assault situation, also the guy was a cop, not military, I doubt if the police have as rigorous a training regimen as the army, but military personnel are not exempt either from the fight or flight response inherent to being faced with a life or death situation. I know of military personnel who have committed suicide because they shirked their duty and some who have committed suicide because they followed orders and ignored their gut reaction to intervne. Yes you can predict how a trained person will react and yes poluce force have extended training. He was no rookie also he had almost 10 years of sercice. Let's not pretend those basic facts you can google in 2.3 seconds are unknown to us. Extended training doing what, though? Storming a building against an unknown number of shooters? Capital punishment for that seems silly as well.

I once had a lot of SRM6's but a lot of mech parts being blown off took those from me. I should really just get an AC/20, I have a tonne of ammo for them for some reason. Need to get grinding cash.

Yep, AI sure has target fixation. Usually on my poor Blackjack. Rather liking my Cent as an LRM boat, only have 3 LRM 10s on it, but it does hit pretty hard (or at the very least, looks cool).

Finally did that, and with no losses. Got lucky and they walked their mechs near crates, got the 3 crate bonus. After that was the definition of overkill as I dumped 3 LRM15 salvos into a Locust.

Wow, soft one aren't you.

Some of these Liberation missions are pain, the Pravyn one was ridiculous, trying to run a gauntlet of 8 mechs aided by ineffective turrets. Smithon is turning out to be worse, as well, to hell with the bonus objectives there.

Is annoying to roll through a mission, and then get my commander injured for 50 days due to MGs

Immature humour, but it's been a long day

Lara as the Predator, now. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/04/shadow-of-the-tomb-raider-hands-on-lara-croft-brings-about-the-mayan-apocalypse/ - Ars' impressions

Almost got into a fight with a woman on the streetcar today, trying to get her to stop blocking the stairs so I can get out. Always impresses me how public transit brings out the ignorance in some people.

Not usually, I'll try to dress them up to match the class fantasy, so to speak. But for the most part my PCs are boring to behold.

Bakery in town makes decent buns and pullman loaves, I chuck them in the freezer until needed

I am finding it handy, granted it will be more so once my mechs stop having terrible fits (or I get a Catapult)

Oh it's an art work? Well they should have said that higher up in the article

So Jackson is no longer up for the VA job.

Laughing as I screwed myself a bit by stripping my mech and then confirming that, so then I had to refit every weapon...62 days time, ouch.

A sign of my skill that my pilots and mechs spend a lot of time out of commission. At least I got a neat decapitation of the Quickdraw when you get the Argo, so that was something.

People are wanking over the cop's restraint when the cop just knew there was no gun. Toronto cops are just as likely to blast someone they don't need to as US ones, but Canadians need to brag about something. Guy's truly an idiot too, if he just had a kitchen knife he would have gotten his wish.

Yep, he bought it on the first mission. Replaced him with Horseman...annoying woman that says "mmhmm" after every sentence

All of Toronto is sad, apparently. Some dude ran over 25 people, killed 10 on Monday. Apparently was an incel type, I guess that shouldn't come as a surprise. At least he didn't get to die by a cop's bullet, so that's one bright spot.

Only issue I had was getting stuck trying to create a profile, restart fixed that. Neg on any other issues though
