So i thought that the St.Ives Blues was DOA,how wrong i was.



first ever match in this thing



here is the build

BTW the stock paintjob needed a little tweak,looked too much like deputy dawg urbie,

Good mech when upgraded.I wish it had dhs and endo stock.

[Bigbacon]

LOL we both made a thread at 12:30...

I went with 2LL, 1ML, 2 SRM6, XL245, Endo, DHS,

shaved some armor to get an extra DHS on there. sadly I didn't get a good chance to try it as my game is borked. All the vinidactors have no animations.

I was looking at two LPLs and a ML with full armor. I won't be getting one, because I'm a Steiner player, but it looks like a neat mech.

This is something I'm tossing around for the 1X.

VND-1X
I love MGs, and strapping three onto this guy should make it fun.

I was honestly surprised by how STD friendly this mech is. XL engines on it make for a great little-guy-with-a-big-gun builds.

I might actually start working on these once I'm done with the HBKs, and NVAs.


EDIT: You can drop the engine to 225, and not put FF in there.

think i may pick up the 1AA also and make it a Narc build. sucks the hero mech can't take the XL275 or 280

as Dawnstealer pointed me to, I am liking the fact you can get 2 LPLs on these things.

The only workable build I've found for SIB so far is 2xPPC poptart. It seems to have a massive thrust boost when you have max jumpjets.

Keep up the good work fellas.

You actually created a new account just for the SIB?

New account? I've been on the force all my life son, seen some crazy things you wouldn't believe.

Has anyone noticed that the Vindicator looks like a Star Wars Stormtrooper? Initially I was not going to get one due to it being very similar in armament to the Griffin 3M. However after reading the above posts and seeing how versital it can be, I might change my mind. I will have to watch how other players do with it before I decide.

Too soon to call it a winner, but I've had early success with this build: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...a2dd76c616dd62f - ERPPC, 2x ML, 2x SRM6, XL250

He's a good little brawler support mech. The Vindi is through and through a second line mech.

How are the hit boxes? Does the XL enigne pop a lot?

Situation is lot better than in Blackjacks,takes much more punishment,due to the low slung humanoid arms.
I usually spread the damage by erratically tapping the JJ button and making small jumps to quickly change direction.Worked well so far.

[LT. HARDCASE]

8 deaths, 6 have been CT, but I don't know if that's up to good hitboxes or me dodging the ST hits. It's definitely not as easy to kill as the BJ-1.

I usually lose my left arm first.

[Carrioncrows]

Currently trying out x2 ppc's over x2 streak2's.

Little hit and miss so far, but I think that's just because PPC's suck now.

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those... moments... will be lost in time, like *small cough* tears... in... rain.

Time... to die...

[Sparks Murphey]

Loving the twist extension on this thing. Even without any efficiencies unlocked, it can almost shoot directly behind itself. Two kills for zero deaths in my first match by using it to make strafing passes on damaged 'Mechs.
