I'm opted in. I might not get the chance to play a whole lot of matches this weekend but I'll give it a shot.

Me too, although this one is another "solo drop only" contest, which kind of takes the fun out of it. Without the 3/3/3/3 in place, you know it's going to be "bring your best heavy/assault mech" or you won't stand a chance as a solo pugger.

In the last faction challenge I made 40th with a blackjack

Sweet! That's pretty good considering how squishy BJ's can be.

Tell that to Shadowhawk meta pilots...
Also, I was 13th in the last tournament and I only used a Blackjack and a Griffin.

Very nice! What was your BJ loadout, if you don't mind me asking? For myself, I just know my better match scores have always been with heavy or assault mechs. I don't seem to last long in a light or medium. I think I just have a tendency to want to "tank" things, which is probably from too many years of playing fantasy MMOs, I guess.

I made 80 in a BJ last Challenge too. I don't consider them to be Squishy at all. You just have to be, hmm well, sneaky. :P

I've opted in, and I have seen alot of people complaining about it... Me myself, mostly play solo and I like the idea that they are catering to everyone, I enjoy this alot more than the other tournaments... But that's just me... But like I said, it's good that they have different kind of tourny's

Im running an 1X with 6 medium lasers, 2 ER large lasers and a 295xl.
With a heat efficiency of 1.01 its not what you call a cool mech, but I can get out two alphas even on the hot maps. I love to sneak up behind some Atlas or Stalker or something and ruin his day. ;)

Indeed! Good luck, Klappspaten...we're kind of the underdogs here in the FRR, but though we lack the numbers, we're not short on skill...:blink:

Welcome, Eglar...I seem to recall you sporting a Kuritan badge before, though maybe you're a good friend of Fluffy's, but we appreciate the help, in any case! ;)

Best medicine for that is dual-LBX into its face from 50m.
