Light: Jenner F

Heavy: CTF-3D
Assault: So many good choices. Probably the Dragon Slayer. But the 733C & Misery are right there.

Disclaimer: Fun comes first, but winning doesn't hurt
Light: Ember, love the sustained close quarters engagements, although a few weeks ago it would be TDK
Medium: Treb 5J with an XL 325 (srry Shads, I still love you and you are better mechs)
Heavy: Protector because cbills, balanced hardpoints in 'proper' locations, tank, Kerensky, it's an Orion, future tonnage limits, flexibility (STD 260 all the way to XL 350 are viable engines), hardpoints and missle tubes can adapts to any meta but will never be FOTM.
Assault: Victor 9S with an XL 375 (fix the missle tubes!) 9K will be where it's at if Gauss gets viable again.

Lights: Ember (Oxide being close.) I haven't laughed maniacally playing the game in a while. Then I hopped in the Ember.
Medium: GRF-3M. It's not an optimal build. In fact, I pretty much am running stock. But for some reason, I seem to understand it better than any of my other Medium 'Mechs. And it's fun to play. (My SHD-2H comes a close second.)
Heavy: TDR-5SS, this middle one. Lasers are fun. And it's my tankiest Thud. (Firebrand is close #2.)
Assault: Misery. AC/20 for the boom! And lasers because I like lasers. (There isn't a close second.)

[Praehotec8]

Light: LCT-3S (don't own many lights)

Medium: SHD-2H(P)

Heavy: ONI-1V (I would have put my CPLT-A1, but the new graphic changes are hideous, and my A1 is too embarrassed to be seen in public right now!)

Assault: STK-M (Misery, brawler spec)

Edit, come June:

Light: Kit Fox Prime

Medium: Stormcrow A

Heavy: Timbewolf Prime (perhaps S, as I love JJs)

Assault: Dire Wolf A

Light: Firestarter(?) - of my 5,000 matches, only 25 have been in a light chassis (one-half of one percent), my founder's Jenner. I don't know if I will ever play light mechs, but if I do, the Firestarter looks the best so far (until they release the Javelin).

Medium: Blackjack BJ-1X - So many mediums to choose from, it is my favorite weight class, there isn't a medium I wouldn't play. Shadowhawk, Kintaro, Cicada all at the top of my list and all kitted out and ready to drop.

Heavy: Catapult CPLT-K2 - Again so many to choose from, Catapults, Jagermechs, and Cataphracts, however according to my profile stats, the CPLT-K2 is the front runner.

Assault: Awesome AWS-9M - I have a need for speed (so slow-pokes need not apply), and I found I preferred the increased torso twist of the Awesome over the superior hardpoints of the Battlemaster. Of course I could change my mind if I ever purchase a Victor.

Light: JR7-D
This just seem like the best Jenner to fight other lights with. Not as good for the heavy stuff with only 4 medium lasers but it should be able to keep up the fire longer before needing to cool off.

Medium: KTO-18
Because I dream of a day when my 5xSRM6 will actually hit stuff.

Heavy: CTF-3D
Just because.

Assault: BLR-1D
I love the dakka dakka.

Light: I don't pilot lights at the moment so I'm going to leave this one blank.

Medium: CDA-?? I suppose the X-5 edges out the competition for me.

Heavy: ON1-P or the CTF-2X.....I know, I know the 2X?? I must be nuts! But both of these I loved piloting so much! Unfortunately my favorite 2X build suffers from the recent Hit Detection problems...

Assault: AS7-D-DC, but BLR-1D is they one I've been piloting allot recently.

Light: Raven 3L (love the look, shame about the leg hitboxes...)
Medium: Hunchback 4G (no other medium should be able to mount an AC20... well, except the Wang)
Heavy: Catapult K2 (my first mech and still my favorite)
Assault: meh...

Can I upgrade to a Union dropship? A Leopard is nary enough room for my toys... Or an Overlord... Or and Invader Jumpship with all Overlord dropships... Yes, that should be enough....
