I found this the hard way as well. Also the mission difficulty is very random and there is no way to tell beforehand.

And battle pay seems too low, given maintenance/salary costs. What’s your main lance, how many mercs are you employing? I hardly see how I can unlock a 2nd mech bay with mounting costs.
-
My main lance is mainly medium mechs (total about 180 tons) and I try to keep 6 mercs alive with good training. A lot of saving... :( I didn't open a second bay and I sell as much stuff as I can at all times.
-
I really need to get a 6th one too, I messed up the skillset, don’t have a decent tactician brawler, or a missile boat sniper (guts, gunnery). Extreme save-scumming is unavoidable, need to collect them all.
-
Yes, getting a good brawler is surprisingly effective in close quarters and to quickly dispatch swarms of light mechs.
-
My problem is that I keep thinking I‘m wasting shot opportunities w every melee attack, or sensor-locking action. Which is why I should improve those tactics.
-
Sensor locking is awesome for LRM equipped mechs. Otherwise, very situational. But it's also good to take out pesky vehicles out of range. Some missions can only be done right with it (like assassination ones). Melee attacks are nearly always better than shot if available at all.
