Cool event! Question is which one is worth more c-bills. Will sell either.

So... what does not involving Tukayyid have to do with any of this? This doesn't seem to be an event for that...

Bleh, you can buy the Stormcrow-Prime if you have the C-bills (it's not like you're getting the Invasion variant). The Thunderbolt probably has more value technically... but extra XP gains are not useful if you convert them.

If you need C-bills, selling off the Stormcrow outright will net you quite a bit of money.

Guessing TDR-9SE(c) will be worth around 3 mil with all parts (It comes with standard 315 engine though, so could save you 2 mil at least to just get that)
SCR-PRIME will probably resale for around 5 mil.

How am I supposed to Generator Rush Pugs in 12 man units if I need 80 points to qualify?!?! Are you telling me I actually have to shoot back at the enemy????

My very question. Inquiring minds and all that...

[WonderSparks]

Eh, even if I had a stable enough connection to play the game, this event is not really my cup of tea. I already have a mastered TDR-9SE from Project Phoenix (oh, Funderbolt, how I miss you) and a mastered SCR-PRIME(I) from Wave I.

Still, for those who want a "quick" gateway to owning one of the two, it has its value. Just not for someone like me.

[Foust]

Nice event.

Please consider running week long events such as last weeks lucky charms event. Think of all the marriages you will save!

[The Boneshaman]

cool maybe with this event it wont take 3 days to get a drop in CW.
about the only reason I don't do CW is because how long it takes to drop.

[WVAnonymous]

No zerg rushing! Woo-hoo!

Finding, loading, and playing 20 CW matches in 96 hours, wahhh! :`-(

I have six SCRs. Between CW, comp and experimentation, I run out of places to put builds. Number seven will be welcome.

I second this! 6.66 hours by my calculation to complete event...guess if I want to hide a gaming addiction from the wife I'll have to wake up at 4 AM Saturday and Sunday.....thanks PGI!

Truly, we live in dark times.

A fair enough point. But I have no use for another Stormcrow, all I need is my LRMA5x5 and "the one with the ER PPC and TAG on its torso" and I am good to go. With my level of piloting skill, the Stormcrow is as balanced as any other 'Mech out there.

[Tarogato]

I hope the pugs trying to get their 20 event points will be willing to listen to the experienced CW players and follow orders.

And bring decent builds (don't bring LRM boats... plz, they fail at CW)

And don't die four times in a row faster than the rest of their team (hint: being the 12th, 24th, 36th, and 48th death for the team is good. Being the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th is BAD.)

---

I highly encourage pugs to visit their factions public teamspeak and do organised drops instead of dropping alone.

Ugh, 10 hours minimum for this challenge.

LOL. Well, it's worth 5.55MM CB or so if you sell it, too.

I would sell it if I got it, but frankly I would only be a liability to my team if I dropped before fixing my computer. ^^"
I keep getting disconnected from my healthy router (like just now, network went red) which makes playing the game damn near impossible. I would probably have better luck trying to skydive without a parachute and living to tell of it.

I think it's a fair assumption that a mechbay will come with the mech.

If not, RAISE YOUR PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES!!!
