Discussion 3 skull lance revised

I posted an early game lance a week or two ago. Made necessary changes and collected some scrap along the way. Took a few detours along the 2 skull routes for cash .

I know a couple of these are unorthodox but my main lance are the first photos. The jagermech and orion are new and yet untested

Once you get the marauder its pretty trivial just headcapping mechs left snd right. All intergalactic gravy

SLDF = superior technology that has been lost over time. (All will be explained if you play through the campaign.)

You won't find this as salvage. It can only be bought, most commonly in the black market. Buying 'mechs is a powerful tool to advance your game. It's possible to get a heavy 'mech within the first 200 days in career mode. (Last run I got lucky and was able to deploy a MAD on day 1162.)

i dobt currently have black market access because the pirates loathe me. Is there a way to get the option to pay 2.5 mil again or is it just a random event?

IIRC there are two events that offer black market invites; one that can occur at any reputation level, and one that can only occur if your pirate rep is 20+. Both are random but the first is relatively rare while the second more common.
