Thanks. Maybe in a week I'll be able to convince myself that it was worth it. ; )

I now have lots of stock Tech 1 mechs, and a handfull of stock Tech 2 mechs.

I even have Techincal update mechs as well, for example, my CTPL-K2 is setup exactly like a K3

Well for monday all you need is Tech 1(Only MWO version). But on wednesday there is a possibility for K3.

I wonder how quirks will change your stock mech mondays they seem to have a lot influence on some stock loadouts.

[Carl Avery]

Judging by what I've seen, it's gonna completely break stock balance. Guess there's nothing to do about it other than wait and see.

Some of these changes wont effect stock as much, such as the "rapid fire" quirks. With single heat sinks, anyone who tries to shoot faster will just overheat sooner and then get killed while they are shut down. Not to mention, we wont be seeing results such as the leaked videos, as we aren't using any modules as well.

Any heat reduction quirks (if they did any) are going to be the most detrimental to SMM, probably followed closely by the range quirks.

Then again, it is very much going to have to be a wait and see.

Rapid-fire is a straight buff. Sustained DPS remains the same, but initial DPS increases. Even though you gain as much HPS as you gain DPS, it's still a net gain. It's the same reason that, all else equal (including the number of heat sinks), two ML > one ML. Overall time-to-kill is shortened.

I am, of course, more worried about the AC20 quirks, but these initial DPS buffs are not insignificant, either, even without DHS to maximize the effect.

SMM is in session as I type this. Come and join for some stock mech action!

[Tesunie]

Seen as faster drops was discussed as an issue, I might want to propose something. Here's the concept:
- Have each person participating be "assigned" a mech. You bring only one mech (if you wish to change, ask I guess), and that's it,
- Don't worry about weight balance. Our own balancing system should equalize skill. Skill in a mech is normally more important than the tonnage of said mech.
- If we are seeing stomps more often than normal, increase switched members to two sets each match instead of one set.

This should lead to a "switch the players for balance, and launch nearly right away". Might be worth giving a try?

[Sergey Kosinskiy]

It was a pretty long session, and it nice. Maybe a little more people? Thx for games guys.

Luck? I call aim bot!
My poor aching head... but I did NOT die from losing my head! (Despite your best efforts though.) 3 PPC shots to the face. Very worrisome.
