I've been in SMM (stock mech monday) once, and a few others

If I remember you get to see the total tonnage of the other team - but not what they have exactly

Also - they only require PT running if you want to change the general rules (also if I remember right)
IE: less than 12 people, or non-3/3/3/3

2 players with Premium time is all you need for less than full players and all options unlocked.
Most can be done with 1 player with Premium time.

I'd be up for it.

The quirks have done one thing for sure.
There are more of us crazy people out in the matches. I had about 8 hours of game time over the weekend , and every second match I played had a Locust of some variety in it, and they were doing quite well to be honest. I think more people are joining us crazy pilots.

We almost might have to be the 2% now instead of the 1%'ers.

I know I've been getting better in my LCT-1V as I grind the cash to turn it in to LCT-1V v2, I've started to post damage numbers in the 250-300 range with a boat load of assists / spotting, even a couple of kills a match now....

Though I do have a bad habit of biting off more than can chew though, still I did manage to kill the Boar's Head as it killed me in the last match though....

Not with 3/3/3/3

Private matches maybe though, not so familiar with those.

24 man Locust Brawl anyone?

Actually depending on the Queue and what MM decides to do...it can Bypass the 3/3/3/3.

I have numerous Screen shots for example of the Stiner Scout Lance (4 Atlas) when the AS7-S was released. So if all of us Locust Pilots flooded the queues all at once, we could technically have 4 on one side.

Each group is limited to 3/3/3/3 -
You CANNOT press launch in the public group que while violating 3/3/3/3 - it will not let you.
But that does nothing if there are multiple teams on the other side - or in the solo que

So you can not pre-arrange a drop with 12 Locusts on one team outside of private matches.

Woops my bad, I thought you were talking the PUGs.
Since MM throws together whatever it wants.

yes but only in the most extreem cases does it break the 3/3/3/3 rule you need to wait like 5+ minets for that to happen

Not quite a full 5min in my experience
I could see that being me thrown into a group that had been waiting that long though, so only PGI would know for sure

If you are piloting a light it is very possible you get thrown quickly into a group that has been waiting awhile. The other day I dropped with my tdk into a match where I was the only light and my team had 4 Direwolves and I think a battlemaster. (I assume they must have been waiting a while to mess the mm up like that) We won, if you can believe that

I am not convinced it is an extreme case however. When I get home tonight I will dig my Screen shots (I take one of each post Battle report for statistical analysis, a personal hobby), but it would appear that even last night I was in 40-45% matchups that were not set in the 3/3/3/3 rule.
Two times back to back we were 2 lights 4 Mediums, and one with a few game span was 4 assaults each.

-ST

[3xnihilo]

Two lights, four mediums has been happening for me a lot. Probably because of the 35-45% medium queue lately compared to the 5-15% light queue. I have 3 brand new medium mechs that I never drop because I feel like I would be contributing to the problem

Yeah, was looking at that earlier today. It would be awesome if they do it. Those two mechs belonged the leader couple of the Gray Death Legion. Although, getting a shadowhawk with 3 E in the RT, and 3 B in the LT would have been awesome, but I like the new SHD hero.

[Ovion]

Everything we hoped for and more.

Torso hardpoints, ECM, CT ballistics.
I'll be buying it at release, probably the first MC mech I'll have bought for full price.

Russ I believe Tweeted that it is in fact coming with ECM.
