Just a reminder! We've got a lot of people playing this these days, getting 4 man rooms even during the week. Might be nice to try the 8 man again if we get enough people on at once.
This week we've added some ECM mechs. A couple of Ravens I believe and I'll bring the Atlas along with my usual Stalkers.
Probably be on tonight for a test and tune night.

I might join up late tonight and get in some practice with my Spider. I haven't really figured that mech out though. I get creamed everytime I bring it in.

Mebbe I'll scurry around your feet and take pot shots =P

If we are doing 8-man's I will run my Raven. Got used to it a bit the other night with Kludger and Raw.

There have been a couple of forum posts (on MWOMercs) about 8-man's and the group being made up of entirely 'optimum' mechs.

A bit frustrating to see this personally, I would like to see a nice mix of mech's. I think we can do that if we just work on our coordination and teamwork.

Looking forward to it.

Also, make sure to patch in advance, there is a new patch tomorrow as well.

Cheers!

I will try to get a few games in with you guys tomorrow.

Dakka, Dakka, Dakka...

Did you post your MWO handle in the proper thread? I was looking for it earlier and couldn't find it.

I did at one point. I think I noticed it's not in the summary on the first page. My handle is...

... wait for it...

...here it comes...

... (drum roll)...

I never would have guessed!

I thought we were supposed to complicate things by using a different name in the game than on SimHQ?
Right Az_doc?

Complicate? As much as possible Raw Won.

Don't forget to change mechs every other round, each with unique paint schemes too. It's all good mental training.

I broke down and picked up a K2, it's currently non functional as I don't have enough credits to complete the build (I sold the equipment that I won't be using), so I'll activate some premium time tomorrow night and get 'er all fixed up.

Here's the schematics:

CPLT-K2

I like it, but seems like it would run incredibly hot. I think everyone has a lot more self control than I do when it comes to slowing down their firing. LOL

It's very much experimental as I have yet to field test it, but the ALPHA will be incredible!

It will be a nice punch for sure. I run one of my Stalkers with a similar set up. 2 ER PPC, 2 LL and all the double heatsinks I can pack in.
Feetwet was running a 1X (correct me if I'm wrong) with 3 PPC's last night. He was punching holes in everyone with it, getting about 3 grouped shots before having to wait to cool down.

I want to play with PPCs

I can't find a way to fit them onto my Spider or Jenner.

Machine guns are just good, right?

Right?

:crickets:

Here is a link to my 1x. Armor may be a little off, but everything else is accurate. Never really found myself with heat problems until I got into the thick of it and was the last standing. Great support loadout, fast, hits hard.

Was fun to strip those D-DC bastards of their ECM coverage....bwahhaha...

What comms do you guys use and where?

I have a Falcon BMS squadron flight but after that I might have time to hop on for a few drops.

SimHQ TS3 Server, just look for the MWO or MechWarrior Online channel.

Man I had a rough night last night. My 3 PPC build just wasn't dropping people like monday night. Could be any number of things...must figure it out. My last game was pretty funny though...

Malibu: yep guys thats it for me
<signs off of TS and drops from group>

<SHQ Drops>

<Malibu is in our game>

PHD_DOC prognosis...Malibu is a fibber
