There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Commando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Commando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Commando
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Commando

My Raven 3L. It's easily the most used (abused) mech in my hanger.

But lately, Sarah's Jenner has been giving it a run for its money...

Those who know me likely know me as a Jenner/Light pilot. Of more than 11,000 games (current and archived) over 3,000 in Jenners.

According to time played, I have the most time booked in the Kit Fox, however I consider the Hellbringer my signature mech.

2x cUAC/5 + 3x cERML + ECM
-or-
4x cERML + 2x cERLL + ECM

Prior to the JJ nerfs and release of the Clan mechs, my mech of choice was Heavy Metal:

2x AC/5 + 2x PPC
-or-
1x Gauss + 2x ERLL + LRM/15 + LRM/10
-or-
2x AC/5 + 3x ML + 2x SRM/6

I have all the Hero mechs and top tier of all packages (no golds though).

My favorite mech, from day one, and the one I do the best in is my Hunchback HBK-4G.

Close second has become my Gray Death.

I really like my Stalkers, especially the Misery and a 4N with large lasers.

Mine isn't out yet, but soon... Grasshopper! However, thinking of MWO so far, I pulled some impressive numbers in the first RHOD tournament in closed beta with a dragon equipped with AC2 4Mlas SRM6. Yeah, that was a lot of firepower back then.... **** this power creep... it's more like a power surge.

#1: My BJ-1 (Jack Black). 3 Med lasers and an AC20. I think its a 280 XL engine?
#2: Dragon-1N (Prodigal Son): I was piloting this one back before it was Meta and I still love it. 2 AC5 ER Lg Laser XL engine.

If Im feeling Clanny? I run a Stormcrow config-ed like my BJ-1 but with pulse lasers, or a MadCat StreakBoat.

I'm a total mech *****. I can't help it, some days I feel like going all King Crab on people, others I'm Direwolfing out. And still others I just want to roll with my Centurions, and just bask in that maneuverability while packing a AC/20. And others I do all of the above in one day. Yep, I'm an unabashed mech commitment-phobe. But if I had to settle down with one mech? That's a tough one.

If we had the Marauder that looked like it did in the old days, I might be inclined to settle down. As it stands, if I had to choose today? Probably the Timberwolf. And not because it's what all the cool kids are driving in MWO, but because it's been one of my favorites since the TT days of yore, years and years ago. Partly because it does kind of look like a souped up Marauder.

Hmmm...
!!!SPARKY!!!
But I can't keep my hands from CDA-2As and CDA-3Ms. Firestarters and Shadow Hawks are also a good bet.

For clans, definitely the Stormcrow. (Honorable mention to Warhawk LRM-boat and Adder Streak-boat)

For IS, it's tougher. Probably Sparky or CDA-2B.

If I weren't mostly anonymous and actually registered on anyone's radar, they would know me for my . . .

They're still my babies, even after all these years.

I'd say my signature role would be long brawl. Something rugged and dangerous up close, but with the flexibility to fight well up to 400-500m. I'm also a lover of twin UAC5s. So, for me:

CTF-3D

Le Summoner, gotta watch out for me Boating Streaks or Lrms or a Ultra Ac/10 and Med lasers or Erppcs X3. Enough Said. :P

1. Hands down Victor. Unfortunately the game has passed the Victor by while he was in jail, and he is just not the same. 2. I've replaced him with the Direwolf, but am in hope that one day he might reclaim his crown! :D

MW4: Wolfhound. I held 3 of the top 10 spots (inc 1st and 3rd) on the Team Attrition ladder for 2 years (~2000-2002) in this Mech.

Tesla Battletech: Sunder. Master candidates in Seattle feared the Sunder to an irrational level because it might be me.

MWO: I don't really have one yet, but that's because PGI puts out new Mechs fast enough that I'm constantly grinding some new Mech to unlock the master slot. DDC and 3L would have been candidates pre-stats reset. Jagermech by far in my Archived stats. Post-archive it's the Maddog, Warhawk, Dire Wolf, and Timber Wolf, though I really like the King Crab so that may take over.
