It's an assasinate mission. I useually love those. This time however you are limited to 50 ton mechs and it's an ambush with at least 9 enimies againt your 4 50 ton or less mechs. I tried to take out the reinforcements first but I was only able to kill one before the main force caught up to me and well ended up losing. Just can't stand up to so many medium and heavys. Anybody do this one and like to share?

Thanks O7

Hunchback; discoback; LRM centurion + LLas sniper (Vindicator, perhaps). LRM stagger followed by knockdown and sniping head hits. CT kill with the AC/20, or melt 'Mechs with the discoback.

The one advantage you have is most of what you're fighting can't take a decent hit.

+1 for the LRM Centurion.

Used that damn thing instead of a Heavy for many a mission to keep my drop skull total on mission target.

To the OP: Good luck with the Steiner mission. I've just allied with my first House after completing all the indie Flashpoints. Will likely just reload and ally with the other Houses rather than spending umpteen hours rebuilding my reputations.

Finished part 1. Huntchback AC10 and LL, Centurioin LRM boar, Crab Laser boat, Vindicator PPC/ML/LRM10.

Got em all ran out of ammo on last mech, three luchy headshots. killed the support mechs, then the reinforcents, then the target, then the last couple mechs guarding the evac. Two damaged mechs.

Got back to the shiip flashing consecutive depoyment, exchanged mechs, deploy, then craash without an opportunity to save.

ARGH.

sigh, deep breath. reboot reload and it's at the begining of the flashpoint again. Just shoot me.

If it wasn't hard, there'd be no satisfaction in the win. :)

Or alternatively: Bam bam, you're dead.

Now you're motivating me to fire up B'tech and go ally with the Steiners. Better put all my Heavies back in storage and pimp out some 50's first though...

Well finished part 1 of Steiner Alliance again. I thought my computer was going to crash as the sound got buggered up. But finished wieht 2 mechs dammanged and one injury and hit deploy for part 2 and made it this time and was was able to save at the start of part 2 and reboot my computer. We really need a save at the end of missiions.
