THese actually hold for TT and MWO for me....

Thou shalt never mount lasers that describe themselves as "small", you are way too big for that.
Thou shalt never mount Missile systems adding to less than one maximum size launcher when using missiles.
Thou shalt never mount an IS XL engine. Ever.
Thou shalt never take less than 20 shots /volleys of ammunition per weapons system.
Thou shalt never sacrifice armor in any part of the mech that is to be expected to be targeted regularly
Thou shalt never second guess the loadout until it is regularly proven to be ineffective in a combat situation.

Thou shalt always take the largest ballistic and energy weapons feasible to the build
Thou shalt always use the largest engine rating that can be made to fit.
Thou shalt always mount ECM if available on the chassis

Thou shalt have fun.

Thou shalt not research builds online...thou shalt make and create thy own builds, and determine what works for thyself.

Thou shalt not ignore the efficacy of low-alpha /high dps support builds.

Thou shalt not charge in like an idi*t while piloting a low-alpha/high dps support build.

Reminds me of another one...

Unless there's a good reason, don't put a larger missile weapon than the amount of tubes it can salvo. Like an LRM 15 in the 3Ls left arm (1 tuber) for example.

Leg armour shalt be no less than half CT armour, and more if side torsos doth take some of the beating.

(edit: for clarity. total (both) leg armour should be equal to or more than CT)

-If thou art a heavy or assault, you shall be able to hit targets at all ranges, for at least 10 pts of damage
-If thou art a medium or light and jump capable, you shall remain so, for I fancy that. Thou shall also travel at speeds in excess of 100kph once mastered.

- If you cannot meet my criteria above, I shall tinker with you incesantly to see if i can make some sort of "fun or effective" use for you...prepair to have your guts routinely rearanged.

-Even if I like your load-out, I will probably rearange your guts for fun.

Thou use gauss rifles instead.

Remember that you stacked PPCs before the kool kids did. Keep doing it after they stop.

[Joseph Mallan]

I swear by the Mighty Blender, I will not forget to add AMS ammo this time!!!

[Dishevel]

More than one AC/20 is ALWAYS good.
More than 4 weapon groups is bad.
If you have dual AMS hardpoints they are to be used. (As only in groups are AMS good and with 2 you are a group.)
Max armor on all parts other than the legs of non lights and the shield arm of my Wang.
Speed is Good.
When possible Pulse over normal or ER.
Pulse sounds good.

[Badgerthej]

if i have any these are the following

.thou should not let anger at a cheap kill be typed in any chat
.thou shal fit a backup laser of some sort for limbs do fly off regularly
.thou shal fit for variety because dost knoweth you'll fit for brawl and alpine shall be thy map forever

[Agent of Change]

It seems we are expanding into behaviours... well then:

• Never Shall thou Not Posteth
  
• Lay Always down the Wrath upon the Isolated for they are dumb and deserveth to die.
  
• Thy Shutdown Override button is not a toy, pusheth it not always.
  
• When thy enemy desireths a firing line thou shalt cappeth.
  
• When thy enemy desireths to cap thou shalt destroy him.
  
• Use thy Pugs as meatshields unless they coordinate with thou's team.
  
• Meet snark with snark in all things.
  
• Praise always thy MODS, for they can edit thy posts and delete thou.

the number of weapons group i shall use is two, no more no less. unless i decide to use some LRMs that are not used at the same time as the two then i shalt proceedeth to three. one is too few unless proceeding directly to two and four is too many. five is right out for my mouse's buttons are not nicely arranged for more than two groups. then with such weapons groups numbering two i shalt smite mine foe's mechs blowing them up into explosively bloody bits and pieces for thy glory my Lord. amen.

Dang. You got that one before I did
