Thank you guys so much for hosting these events. Had my first Stock Mech Monday tonight and it was an absolute blast (even if I could only afford one average stock mech for the duration of my play). I will certainly be joining for all consecutive events. I look forward to seeing everyone again next monday! ;)

Another fabulous fun night! Next week, I'll be trying out my GRF-1S, in honor of the baller paintjob IronHawk did for me!

I'm hoping a spectator mode gets released so it will be easier to take screens and videos of stock battles, "the way the game is meant to be played."

I restocked my JR7-K for 5/12, which was a blast to use, even with the lower armor than the F version.

It's fascinating watching a video from the other team's POV.

Other than two nights, its the most fun I've had since I started playing a couple months ago.

It's refreshing actually feeling like I'm in a mech, by which I mean... in pug drops, if I wander under the dock in crimson and the entire other team comes out of the tunnel, I'm dead instantly, but with SHS everyone has to manage their heat so closely, I actually lived for a good 10-15 seconds. So, I felt like I actually had a mech around me, vs feeling like I'm wearing paper armor when I'm insta-killed in pug games.

That is what I like about it, the armor actually feels worthwhile compared to the amount of fire that is around.

LRMs feel a lot more useful too with the stock armor but you definitely have to manage your shots even with it because of the low amount of ammo that most mechs use.

Got a brand new Victor, downgraded my Highlander 732 (that I never used in public matches anyway) and a Commando for next monday. Next, I need to get one of those pesky Dragons and perhaps a Quickdraw!

Too bad the Trebuchets are pretty much left out of this mode.

Never going to use a stock mech I buy in battle. This game sucks enough without that aggravation.
