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 haven't gotten the full stream uploaded yet (raw footage is 8 gigs), but I did upload the last match of the evening for me. You can check it out here:

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.

Wowza. Them's a lot of purdy pictures.

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.

I couldn't make it last night, but it's in my calendar for next week!

[cRaZy8or5e]

It was a great turnout and great time. Glad to see this catching on as much as it is. Looking forward to more mondays!

[Sybreed]

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.

[Werewolf486 ScorpS]

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

Hey, hey...we don't use hurtful words like that around here. "Retrofit"...that's the term...xD
