Ah! But now you can use that earned premium time to elite them FASTER (when you do get to using them)! (Assuming you didn't already have premium of course.)

Heh, Bought the Stalker Mastery Bundle last month, the challenge was more about the mech bay and not having another red x on my challenge page.

At last, the general purpose/jack-of-all-trades workhorse mech of the Capellan has arrived.

Damn, it's been a year of hassles, since my old laptop had some problems.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to test drive with this awesome-looking mech. Many thanks to Alex to redesign it into a sleek piece of war machine. After all, Vindicator is the main reason I come back.

It's a solid design across the variants. Excellent second line mech, and direwhale sitter.

With this last challenge finish, and they are now out for C-bills, I can finally buy three. I'll have to test them out and get my own feel for them now.

I wonder if PGI would add a quirk of increased cool down when the PPC is in contact with water?

[CycKath]

I believe the existing cool-down quirk was added just for that reason, because its not like the Vindicator or any Mech in MWO can kneel.

I sure hope they don't let us do that. I don't have time or patience to wait for my teammates to finish tea-bagging their dead enemies before moving on to finish the push.

Weeeeeeeell, I've seen some people try to emulate it by hitting the P button a little bit. It was comical and glad they saved it until we were up 10-2

Yeah, I've seen those guys. Easiest kill I ever got with my 9PPC Daishi. That pilot should have double checked no hostiles were around, before doing that.

I understand that there is a "Mech Guide" section of the forums, but what have you found works well in your Vindicators?
Please add smurfy link if you want.

Honestly... I've been finding them fairly well as (near) stock. Especially when it comes to the St. Ives Blue configuration (which can be place on any variant of the chassis). Maybe upgrade to DHS, add extra ammo... and it's fairly well off right from there. Then again, you probably could call me a bit on the crazy side. (I actually DO play it stock, no alterations...)

[CycKath]

Like Tesunie, my Vindicators are just variations of stock with the advantages of Endo and DHS allowing larger missile rank and the like. Bishop Steiner has some more interesting builds though:

I was having a bad experience grinding the 1X and 1R until I came across the 1AA.

Vindicated + TCAF Brothers.

[Stoneblade]

Just gotta finish grinding the -1R. I found the -1X to be the hardest to grind. I'll post my builds later today.

As promised:
Only config I like in the -1x

How I'm running my -1R:

Thanks, these will be very helpful.


EDIT: You might wanna try out locusts. You sure seem to have XL 190s for them.

Where do you think I pulled the 190XL from? { }
