I hate my work schedule - by the time 530 PST rolls around I have to get ready to go to bed to be up for work at midnight :)

Suggestion (and if already in place, my apologies for missing it)

- in the TS room description, update the rules for the currently running stock mech drops.

I felt bad Saturday after narcing an enemy force only to learn the Saturday rules are more restricted then Monday's rules. Had not realized Saturday was tier 1 tech, while monday's was stock mechs with SHS as the only restriction.

Live and learn?

Just say you had a bit of lostech on your mech, but that was the last of your ammo (AKA: after that match, you'd correct your mistake).

I can do that!

Saturday's basically "Tech 1. Go!" but I'll mark it down regardless.

Thankfully I got swapped to the opposing team after that one match and I was able to apologize. They voted on flogging me but the motion failed to carry by one vote :(

Good fun all on 6/9!

I had a blast taking the latest addition to my stock mech collection out for a spin: the COM-2D, a Classic.

I saw weird jumping at one point while spectating on one of our guys but he said it was fine after that (and his ping was way lower)...dunno.

It felt really bad on Frozen City Night, especially as I was skittering around in my Jenner. A few on the team said they felt it too. Weird. The last place I'd expect poor network connectivity is the private matches in a 9-on-9 game. Also - the Jenner F rocks in stock mode, though it's definitely hot.

Was that you chasing me in a Spider and Inspector in a Commando in Terra? We had to just keep running around until you over heated then run while you had to repower...xD The first time heat helped me with a clean getaway!!

I was directed to here when talk about stock mechs came up in a match.
EU player. Anything specific i need to know that's not in the OP?

EDIT though it does look like i might have to do an alternate account for stock games. Full garage.

If you're unwilling to revert some of your current mechs, then that's certainly an option. You'll need to play through your 25 games to get your bonus, however, since the trials are not allowed in the stock matches. The double heat-sinks are a no-no. Might be easier to take a lesser-used mech and revert that one to test out these games first before you commit. I recommend a Jenner F or a Hunchback 4G to get a good feel for these stock games while staying light on the wallet.
