Here's hoping to at least 2-3 full 12s and some scout groups for the weekend, all things considered

Either way let's at least drum up some support for Friday evening through Sunday. Pass the word to those who don't frequent the forums and let's hope PGI doesn't screw us with an event.

My current thinking is a 3 day event. If you participate in drops over the entire 3 day event, and submit proof you participated in at least 1 drop, I draw a name at random and the winner gets a Cyclops package.
Then for each individual day. If we win a planet in that day I draw another name. So up to 4 packages are winnable if we take planets each day.
Then I got to thinking it would be wise to incentovose Falcon players to show up. Maybe a linebacker package for participation and a 2nd one if they prevent us from taking a single planet.
Then I got to thinking I'm not rich and maybe someone might think it a good idea and be willing to help with the cost and/or donate additional raffle prizes.

If your willing to chip in I'll go ahead and make this a thing. I'll work on an official post tonight and put it up tomorrow.
I'll have the eligibility be for loyalist and Marik aligned mercs. Minimum of 1 match makes you eligible. Doing more matches and winning planets makes more prizes available.
So any mercs out there that want to hop on before Friday there will be extra incentive.

1 you show up
2 you listen to the drop commander
10 you bring mechs you find fun and have success with in QP.
If you can blow mechs up in QP then you can blow them up in FP. The mechs work the same way.

What might work in QP may not work as well in FP due to the coordination of teams. Also it is often that organised groups in FP all drop with the same kind of mech to achieve a certain result (all drop with fast mechs to rush, or all drop in assaults to implement huge firepower, etc). We can try and drop with whatever we find fun but results may not be so good. Just saying.

More experienced teams take specialised Mechs for specialised jobs, but turning up is the first step.

Coordinated teams drop in QP as well. Why is it only when it comes to FP that it is magically a problem?
Yes coordinated teams exist. They very I. Their skill level. You have the really good teams that practice 100s of hours a week And run like a well oiled machine. No you are probably not going to beat that unless you commit yourself in a similar fashion. The good news is that most are not tournament level teams and even the ones that are are not unbeatable.
The important thing is you show up. Those who never try a will never succeed
The next important thing is to listen to the drop commander. Exactly how do.you thing those teams are doing what they do?
The least important but still important thing is to bring mechs that work and you enjoy playing. You aren't stupid. You play matches and know what works for you.
No one is expecting you to be a well oiled machine your first time out. No one is expecting perfection in your mechs. Play a few matches and you will figure out rather quickly what works and doesn't work. As a baseline start with mechs you enjoy and that work in QP. Not gimmicky mechs. Not joke mechs. The ones you trust to work. 9 times out of 10 that will serve you well in FP. The other 1 out of 10 means you brought a missile boat.

Definitely made the right choice when picking loyalties.
