I'm just not quite organized enough for the merc corps part.

I was never in the military myself, but my Mother and Father are both retired military. My mother was buried with honors from the Navy a few years ago. Needless to say, I know how to follow orders...
I am a better support player than leader. I do also enjoy scouting, then hauling exhaust back to support the team. Anyone that has played with me knows I am not that great of a player yet, TBH.

That challenge was brutal. I thought to myself "well 20 wins means at most 40 matches, right?"
It took me several hours to complete and at the cost of much time I had dedicated to a school project. It wasn't worth it.
At the rate I was accruing wins, I would have had to play for over twelve hours of match time, not counting time spent searching - and that's a conservative estimate assuming that matches are an average of seven minutes long.

I wound up in a group toward the end - with the simple orders to circle right (on most maps) or take a hill (C4?) on the Bog.
Only lost once - but most of them were also reasonably competent - and that once was to HoL if I remember right.
(How many expect to win against the Lords anyways )
Was not sure I was going to make the challenge until then - as I was sitting ~12/20 for the day's "work" before the invite came.

Well spoken. Within the coming months Shaemus is going to become a monster ~Grins.
I have learned SO much from scouring these forums and spectating better/smarter players, that I could not take any credit even if I were to prove you right.
BTW...I elited the Commandos and unlocked speed tweak...just 300k from a 240XL as of right now. I know this means nothing to people that have mastered dozens of mechs, but...Thanks for humoring me. Thanks for the advice.

I need to unlock 3 more elites, but my TDK finally runs 171.1kph. I ran it on Tourmaline. I am not used to the speed yet, so I got hung up in the giant crystals and was killed.
I played the scout/psychopath, but if I hadn't gotten hung up, they were having a hard time hitting me. I ran it with 1 small pulse laser the first time, just to try out the speed and that is all I had room for. (Didn't have any regular small lasers.)
I have since removed 2 dhs, to free up weight and will be running the 4 lasers - will try mediums and the setup Koniving was running with 4 smalls, for better heat control. It was a blast for about 3 minutes.

LOL, I'm afraid I have to agree with you on that one my friend. I would be embracing silence and the conversation would be completely one sided ~Grins.

I have it set with 2 ml and 2 spl but haven't tried it yet. I need to buy 2 mpl because I like your idea...get in and out quickly concentrate fire on one spot with the pulse lasers.
Until now the grind for xp with the Commandos has been a little rough. I would swear sometimes, that you could flick a BOOGER just right and kill my Commando, since they were slower.

It's relatively cheap, runs virtually forever with a 51% heat efficiency, and hits like half an atlas with much greater mobility. People laugh at the machineguns, until they realize the brace of SRM's just stripped all the armor from something. There's been great argument over whether MG's are worth anything but I can say running this build they're great, if you have enough of them, and have something else to strip the armor. If the three SHD's I have this build is actually my favorite.

EDIT: Another question.....How do you check your elo?

Oh, one other thing... if someone shuts down and you're not under threat from others, take a moment to line up a shot into their cockpit. If your alpha is nasty enough you might end the fight right there. If not you're definitely going to rattle them and make them want to protect their head. Of course the only way to do that is to turn it away from you, which means they can't see you to fire accurately.
