Still not a thing? I'm not the won with the preemptive news anyway. Always the last one to find out about anything.

I actually haven't even played Stock matches in so long. (Friends want my attention on Mondays, and without chat, it's been hard to just know when/where to gather to get it going.)

[Sergey Kosinskiy]

Hmm i do wonder will new quirks help stock mech?

[Jaeger Gonzo]

Looks like.

So, I haven't seen anyone on stock in a while on the Clan Teamspeak server and see that the front page was not updated.

The address is: StranaMechty.info
PW is: StranaMechty

If you guys don't want to use it I can delete the channels.

Not that we didn't want to use it... we couldn't seem to get on it.

We've been drifting for a while looking for some way to establish communications. If the old TS servers are still available, we'll probably go back to them again.

I would still desperately love to see a "stock" mode feature in MWO. (Timezones mean Stock Mech Mondays don't work for me.)

I read in another thread that Russ had stated that a Stock game type would need to be proven in private matches first. What sort of matches did SMM run?

Different drop sizes with different tonnage restrictions seem fun in my head, as one of the big appeals a CBT style mode has to me is the concept of drops without heavies or assaults, or when you do run larger drops, having the assaults be much rarer in numbers and therefore, far more significant as an individual.

As the community, what can we do to promote interest and develop the concept of stock matches?

Russ said he wants to add a "stock mech" button into private matches, that allows you to field a stock version of your mech.

I am hoping to actually participate tomorrow. Is the team speak channel on First Post still accurate?

[Sergey Kosinskiy]

Hmm so this is from Mitch from BattleTech Kickstarter: [color=#0F2105]Hey Patrick mcnary >>>Please don't limit the single player game just to keep the PvP game balance.<<< [/color]
[color=#0F2105]That’s not how you make a game, IMO. Customizing ‘Mech loadouts is fun, so it should be fun in PVP. You use BV or some other system to make it fair. Giving the host the ability to say “stock ‘Mechs only” shouldn’t be that hard, btw[/color]
[color=#0F2105]Hey Sylver! >>>stock league and a custom league?<<< [/color]
[color=#0F2105]Hmm. Could work. We’ll see when we get there. See above answer, though.[/color]

So... yeah i just hope that PvP will be funded:)

[Thunder Child]

So, is there a Unit that is Stock Mechs only? Because that would make it very easy to see if any other Stock Players are online, would be to join a Stock Unit. If there isn't, would anyone be keen to make one?

I have one made. With the tag TRO- I believe. It's with my Stock only account... I can invite any account in if you want to join. Just let me know the user name and I'll try to fumble my way though getting you in. (Haven't done anything with that account for a while now...)

Yes, it's a fine unit! I have been ssslllloooooollly grinding my way on my stock mechs. I look forward to someday heading out in a group fight! (finally got rid of that "need a new computer" excuse.)

[TygerLily]

What we need are TWO Stock only units so we can CW versus each other. xD

Maybe one day...

Dec 1st Patch) Single heat sinks buff and nerfs to the agility of the skill tree are cool for stock players. The jiggering with the quirks are interesting too...A LOT of them became general quirks rather than specific. Which is cool because some Mech's quirks didn't line up with their stock loadouts.

[Jaeger Gonzo]

Russ told me that after Steam, he weill public some sort of Stock Plan for a review.

[Tesunie]

I miss playing with my stock mechs. Haven't been able to join on a Monday for some time now... Always something going on Mondays now for me.

Awesome, if true. I'll believe it when I see it though.
