Welcome aboard Tiger, and yes, the new Sigs look great!

Fun fact: Today is the Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party of 1773 when the American Colonists dumped British Tea into the harbor as an act of protest. See the link for more info: http://patriotpost.us/articles/31763

Don't forget the skirmish with the Blue Star Irregulars tonight guys!

[Bad Katz]

Skirmish with the BSI in 1 hour!

[Nightmare1]

Give 'em the what-for Cap'n! Wish I could be there to cross blades with the BSI, but I'm cramming for my last Final of the semester. I'll have to get me a piece of the action next time!

I'm looking forward to my Christmas Break! Looks like I'll be spending pretty much the entire break with the family back home, which is awesome. It does probably mean no MechWarrior, but I'll be back in January.

So how was the skirmish? I was in the last two but the first battle map threw me for a loop and during the second battle my ping sky rocketed way too high. Were there any other battles that I was not involved in?

Skirmish with the Marine Mechs tonight guys. Don't forget.

How is everything guys? I have been a little busy but I should be on today and over the weekend too.

I reached into the stocking for the first item and got a naughty item, a medium laser

If you don't want it, then I'll take it. I always seem short on those.

How? I feel like the only thing I ever have in my inventory is medium lasers. Probably because I'm always selling everything else because I'm so poor.

Great drops this morning guys! I managed to finish getting the 25 matches needed for assault mode and will move on to skirmish next most likely.

I typically build my Mechs around a massive ballistic (like the AC/20), or SRM and light ballistic boating. MLs are nice because they're light and are easy to stick onto my Mech afterwards for extra backup firepower. As a result, I tend to have a lot of them. After I've run new Mechs and figured out better (or more fun) builds, I tend to strip and rebuild them, often converting to pulse lasers. That puts a lot of MLs back into my inventory. Then, I go and buy new Mechs and stick them all over the new Mechs.

This creates a cycle of surplus/shortfall for me. Suffice to say, I stopped selling weapon systems long ago. It's cheaper to keep them in my inventory than it is to sell them and then buy them back later. Right now, I am in a cycle of shortfall since I am re-kitting everything to match the new quirk system. I am particularly short on MLs and MPLs at this time; a true first.

The only weapon systems I sell are UACs and CUACs. I sell those with gusto; they are the worst weapons in the game, I think, and do not deserve to be on my Mechs or even be in my inventory. I have no tolerance for dice-roll weapons in this game, and detest being betrayed by weapons that choose to jam at the most inopportune of times. As a result, whenever I come into possession of a UAC or CUAC, I immediately replace it with its normal or LBX variant (if I want that ballistic to stay on the Mech) and sell of the reprobate that dares to ride on my proud Mechs.

For all of our allies and enemies, please let me explain what a pirate is about! We don't fight for a planet we cannot hold, we have no interest! We fight for C-bills and for notoriety, we fight for the battle itself. Hire us to draw away crack units from your opponents for 30 minutes at a time, we will be sure they cannot drop against you! We make more c-bills the longer the fight lasts, win or lose due to the damage and kills we gain. We don't have the priorities of other merc/house/clan units. We are true pirates, and when it is all said, only the pay keeps us fighting!

I am finally on my four day tomorrow! Stocking stuffing marathon!

Well said High Captain! Let us cause havok among everyone out there and do it for the pay!

Defenders just can't seem to comprehend why we're not running by,
getting shot like fish in a barrel, and instead kill everything we can for as long as we can...
We don't care about your shield generator.....
