If this gets a decent enough following...could we start setting up actual scenarios/battles from lore? Just a thought.

That's one thing I did notice...that 1/2 armor value on Light Mech legs was a BRUTAL reminder of what lights should really feel like. That second match where you guys turtled on Alpine (and legged me in my Firestarter) was awesome

It was YOU in that firestarter chasing after me in my cicada lol.

Yeah we wanted to run something that wasn't the normal meta manuever on that map and it worked out in our favor with that hill firing line we had. You guys took the bait when I flanked and started pegging you with the 3C's ppc.

@Bishop - yeah I think "Stock Clan Wars Friday" or something would be pretty cool!

Lol, 'took the bait.' Our team honestly was wondering what to do...you guys claimed some very high ground, had lots of missiles...and we didn't. That cicada was the only target we had to approach, lol...and if you recall your team eventually game down to brawl after expending those LRMs lol...we never actually...um...ran up the hill to you. It was sad and painful. But still fun lol

Nah but you flanked to your right instead of hunkering under that one rise you had cover behind. You came running up after me and the rest of the team ambled along behind ya lol.

Lots of fun, we put you guys in a tough spot. You guys made up for it later though.... that conquest in Canyon Network was painful to us.

Yeah we did that on purpose

After being LRMed and PPCed on Alpine we were like "lets make a JJ lance and just harrass them on Canyon"

I like the whole "loser picking the map" thing. It's a great way to keep things balanced.

I still say loser should pick the map and a tonnage rating

Is it too much to ask PGI for a public stock mech queue? No 3/3/3/3, no nothing just a check from the matchmaker that all mechs are stock before getting them into matches.

It would be great!

Then again PGI doesn't even do the basic things...

I think the fact that the awesome not only has some really good armor for it's weight but also has 28 single heat sinks and 3 ppcs really helps it out in stock matches. If you keep distance from it it will punish you for your indescretions.

I've got my eye on a quickdraw and most of the meta folks say that is even more useless than an awesome. The quickdraw has decent armor and all those lasers plus some lrms to throw at distance and jumpjets.... or I could get another orion.... lol.

The thunderbolt really comes into it's own in these matches too because of it's stock armor amounts. It's neat that you need to look at things like this to really appreciate the mechs in stock matches.

Now we need to make something happen on friday or saturday nights so we can get some stock action just about every other day.

Agreed about having more stock nights. I can play next Monday and possibly the Monday after. But then I will probably work every night after.

"Insane minds think alike'

There are a bunch of threads all over lol, and I'm certainly an offender in not seeing them all in the right order too. 8D How does...

Scenario Saturday

...sound?

That way people could run them early in the day through the evening, so euros could get in there too. Hop in, see who's running a scenario. Maybe hop in with it, maybe not... "scenarios" of different sizes, say lance on lance... three consecutive drops, in a scenario...would run moderately quickly.

It's on GM's wanting to run and play these things...to create and run them. So far so good :) There are people figuring these things out on MF:C.

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!

hey its a blast im hooked !!! its growing and i hope we keep getting more fun people !!!

We've been trying to convince them of that since closed beta.

Thing is, stock mechs also completely sidestep just about every monetisation aspect of the game... at least that's the theory we have as to why they've never listened, nor even commented on the idea for such a long time.

how about Trial Mech Mondays instead? No barriers to entry, nobody has to invest in a mech and/or mech build they don't want.

Maybe Stock and Trials together, if the trials aren't too OP compared to the stock, and there are sufficient stock mechs with endo, DHS, etc that trial champs aren't really much better than an expensive stock.

Trial Mech Tuesdays!
