Good ol' Vedette swarm. I love Vedettes (and their little brother, the Scorpion). They're very low threat, but provide a good amount of spare armor and you can sell them for a good chunk of change in a pinch (or let the employer have them to build up salvage credit).

I'm surprised that the rebel guys keep trying to operate their vehicles after they've been immobilized.

[Not using forced withdrawal rules, I take it?]

Meanwhile, we've got the 44.0 stable out and 45.0 dev release out. Lots of new goodies in those, you may consider upgrading the campaign (although, you'll have to merge any custom features you've coded up )

I liked this LP so much I decided to join the forums and sign up.

I'll take Pvt. Elroy Farooqi. Nickname "Faceplant".

I actually like the Warhammer, but I prefer the 6D variant, which gets rid of the machine guns and SRM launcher to add more armor and heat sinks. With 16 heat sinks, you can volley fire your PPCs, and still have some close-range punch with the lasers, but are now armored like a real heavy mech. The 6R excels at close-range fighting firepower-wise, but the weak armor doesn't actually make it viable in that role, in my experience.

A dropship is a great way to reduce transport costs, not to mention that employers will pay more in general per contract, but taking out a loan or using some other kind of "financial instrument" might eat into the bottom line a little too much.
