- I can't believe my fraking lance leader wants us to write down all our issues and thoughts on pads. I had hoped that telling the new pilots what to do would work. But IT NEVER DOES.
Now I have to write out every thought in more complete detail; the only hope on my part is to get those fraking technicians to give me those tech sheets about all of our mechs, so I can give a better understanding to those noobs. But it won't help. They don't use tactics, they don't use spacing ideas, and they don't hit with their weapons. I'll leave more of my opinions for later. I need a drink from the mess, and it better have caffeine in it. -

The mess is serving Raven legs again today. They all seem to be over-cooked. I would pay handsomely for a slice of Splatcat right about now, but word is they've been hunted to extinction.

- First topic on my mind is how the corp. has lousy technicians. PGI technicians may be more advanced than most other companies, but they are quite bad at fixing what they break. If they could fix what they change, modify, and build, they would be great. But now their is a back order on my "hud bug" and "mech name" that have occurred in all of my lance mates computers. If they can't fix what breaks, what good are they to a merc'? Well, thats where the new mech's come in. They are testing a Stalker with a Gauss rifle. A GOD DANM GAUSS!! what AM I GOING TO DO WITH THAT!?!
kill, destroy, loot. And as long as they fulfill the contract for that UAV drone I've been wanting for 10 years, then they will keep my business. But until then, I'll trust them as far as I can call them; so that's only the Inner Sphere for now.

I am currently lost in the arctic tundra after losing contact with my squad because of an enemy ECM. There is what appears to be an outpost in front of me. I think I will capture it...

-Second topic I'd like to discuss is ECM. who ever put that module into existence is a genius that even Kerensky could kiss.
1.5 tons, 2 crit spaces, able to disrupt AND counter, ECM, LRMs and Streaks. Plus, I can put it ANYWHERE!! I love when people complain about what they have. However, facing a mech that has it in one that doesn't. THAT is different. I would have hoped PGI could develop a NARC missile that would disable ECM for a minute, but they came back to my command saying "it wouldn't work, Were not that good, bla bla bla." If they just down graded everyones mech, we wouldn't have to deal with this. "if we upgraded everyone, no one would never equip it." Sure, that will happen. But either way, I need a new counter to ECM variants with my non ECM variants. Hope you can deliver PGI.

Now, the third topic I'd like to discuss are the weapons that PGI provides me. All are standard weapons that have been around for generations, except for the ER lasers, Pulse lasers, and Ultra auto-cannon 5. I've heard rumors of other Rouge outer sphere mechs sporting UAC10's and 20's. If I find that PGI has been selling these weapon systems to other groups, they will be sorry. I love to use a Uac5 on the hunchback 4G I have finally purchased. It has a nice config, with 3 Med lasers, 1 Uac5, and 2 MG. Good for those mechs that just need some dakka in their face. It's not tough, but its got guts. But with a UAC10 or 20 on my Hunchback, I could really hurt some noob faces on those mech pilots. Maybe I'll get around to writing a note that my HPG can send to PGI, but I have Pilots to train.

Captain's Log, stardate ID-10-T. The whiners are growing louder every day over absolutely nothing. My eardrums may soon implode. Send help.

NO ONE LIKES A DAVION ***** COMMUNIST. shall I elaborate upon the basis of which I base my thoughts?
Shall I wax poetry until the Combine come to reap? If I even acknowledged your existence, would it further my pursuits?
Negative!

Now, I need to congratulate the Technician who painted my Hunchback with that new pattern of buccaneer theme. Because in my day, pirates were scum, but buccaneers were BAMFS. If you don't like the term BAMFS, you know where to shove all of you queries and insults; UP YOURS.

I'll get some more thoughts posted soon enough, but that new Stalker just went thru testing, and I really want to try that tall sucker out.

Why do people think that forced install point ala AMS will make a hill of beans difference? ECM lights carry XL engines so making it go in torso won't change that you should be shooting the torso. They are dead before ECM is lost. I think I have lost ECM once in over 1000 drops in my raven. The raven leg nerf got me out of ECM light; not all these supposed ECM nerfs that are useless.

PPC? Who cares (that's not why everyone is using PPC right now)
Mount point = pointless
BAP 150m = no matter.

Seriously, they spend more time on dumb fixes that proper balances could solve in a few minutes. The time spent on programming mechlab to allow for ECM forced location point was wasted and could have been spent fixing HUD.

I got this new pilot today back talking about the new PPC's. He keeps getting shot in the head by them after 20 seconds after the drop. He doesn't tell me why he keeps getting head shot, so I just tell him to keep using the old training sims and come back after he feels ready to go head to head with mechs, not head to PPC. I think his name was Jar, but me-sa thinks his new name is Jar-Jar, for his nice large head. Anyway, he might learn some tactics once he gets back from the sims. If not, then I'll have to detail them painfully for him, since I don't know his mech'.

Here is what I have, that you don't Jar Jar



the ability God gave me. TO DODGE.
hope this helps

I just got back from a meeting with one of the Wolf Spiders. This guy Chimie would't shut up about the new limits our PGI technicians were putting on his ECM module. He complained that the new mounting point wouldn't help him on the battle field. Personally, I think there need to be more changes to the module it self, than the mech. So at least we can agree on that useless change. Maybe its for a more universal maintenance of the mech's, who knows! PGI is outside of our control, not outside our comm range. As long as we can talk to them, they will change.

But every time I get hit with ECM and can't see allies, I get pissed. I heard that PGI is working on an old bug in the ECM system to make it so we can see allies, but I still have to wait and see. I still want my NARC to disable ECM for a minute to make the NARC useful to my combat style, but that's still in development hell.

Kirejara came into my office today to resign from his post. I'm not here to make guides on how to pilot a mech, or the tactics that I use on a daily basis, but to voice my opinions on the current state of the world. If Kirejara wants to learn how to win, he will have to search for other people and resources. Like the No Guts No Galaxy crew, or guides on the local network. Or videos on youtube.

I never completed the MW2 training, or any other previous "game sim" before MWO. I use tactics from World of Tanks, League of Legends, and sometimes even Halo. Every game I have played is an influence on my tactics and play style, and I've changed them as new tech and mechs are released by PGI.

If people want to be good at this game, use what you know, and grind out the knowledge others have learned. This is a steeper learning curve than the hills on Alpine Peaks, but it is worth it. Get a crew, get some skill, and get some kills.

I've sent him off to learn these things, and I hope he returns a changed pilot
It probably will not, since I am a just text message, and not a face to him.
