Just FYI - showing up in your Gold Dire Wolf, assuming company command, and ordering your team around is not a good leadership strategy.

[Turist0AT]

Why not? Does leadership strategy boils down to what mech you are piloting?

Would it be ok if the player was not in a gold mech?

If the player in question leads the team properly it shouldn't make a difference.

I have a dream that my four little mechs will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their armor but by the content of their hardpoints.

We all know that there's going to be a certain reaction to a Gold 'mech in a drop. While it's certainly fine for somebody to click the CO button and give suggestions, buying a 500$ mech does not grant the right to order your team around.

BTW, thanks for the abuse, guys - it was meant as a serious comment, suggesting that the handful of Gold pilots might take extra care in drops to be polite.

I think the original post could have been better worded as "Showing up in a gold mech does not automatically make you a competent leader."

Although in lore, it would make you a Kashik, which would make you the leader of a lot more than 2.33 Stars (a star is 5 mechs).

Why? beacause they helped fund the game?

Well, this thread certainly backfired, didn't it?

Roger that... I made sure my recording software was on... saw my first Gold... a Gold Timber Wolf last week and thought it was pretty amazing... come to think of it, I can't remember what happened to him as I got busy trying not to die... failed at that but still... will go back and watch the vid and see how he did (team won btw...)

[Felbombling]

Paulie, if you show up in an olive green Atlas Trial Mech and automatically assume command, would it be alright to call you a tool and ignore your orders? I mean, if we're going off of colour scheme to determine merit and all. Go back and read your own post. It sounds like you're telling anyone who has purchased a gold Mech that they can't buy tactical thinking. As Koniving has already said... you could have made your point 10x better.

There are no 500$ mechs.

Thank the few for sending to you to the birds (and keep up the constructive stuff for those who were)
