Ok, so I'm a total n00b at MW, but I love Mecha and want to fail to grow up and be pilot.

And I can't think of any place I'd rather be than with fellow Browncoats.

I'm headed over HQ to sign up.

[walkingraven]

It's okay, Ty, I wanted to be an engineer. Still working on building the mech bay to put it in... We're a merc corp / support group for those abandoned by their dreams! Or with the need of cold hard cashy money to follow said dreams, grab them by the shirtfront and drag them back kicking and screaming!!!!

[Tymanthius]

So, I hate being the noob, but here I am, stuck in that position again. Ain't that life?

Here' the thing, I know what I want to do - be a scout. I did that job IRL for the Army. Well, I was trained at it, I was lucky & never had to actually DO it. All respect for my brothers who did.

So I understand those tactics, and it fits my natural instinct to hide. The way I was trained was that if a Scout is shooting, something went very wrong. Now, I know I signed up with the Browncoats, and that means 'very wrong' is just SNAFU here, but still, I'd like be in a role where I'm not the main shooter. More of a sneak & peak, and use the TAG so others can do the shooting for me.

What I need help with is learning which pieces of equipment will help me do the things I want. Which Mech, with what load out. I want to be fast. I want to be able to defend myself some, but really, if I get in a shooting match, I want to run back to my Big Brother & let him settle it.

The way I see my job is to see what's out there, report back. Take minimal action, or be bait/distraction so the heavy lifters can come in & do the hard work.

Any thoughts/help would be great.

Thanks for the welcome! And I don't mind being cannon fodder until I get my legs. Everyone was a beginner once.

I'm in to fight for the Independents!

[walkingraven]

Many of us are asking the same questions as you, Ty. And I'm afraid that we'll be waiting for the launch before we can get any straight answers. But we will all stand together regardless. Your RL training should prove useful and from me personally and as HFIC Browncoat, Thank you for your service. I'll be w3aiting for you planetside.

Also, don't forget to cruise the HQ site on occasion.

Well speed + jump jets should be things you're looking for. As for the "starting four" that we're anticipating, the Jenner stands out for scouting. Maybe a dragon when things start getting rolling.

I've been looking hard at the Jenner & the Raven. All the gadgets on the Raven are sweet. But sadly, it's not a Founder Mech. Any one know if I can put any of these on the Jenner?
CASE
Beagle Active Probe
Guardian ECM
NARC (12)
TAG

If so, that could be fun.

[Baddaawg]

Just signed up on the website and look forward to Misbehavin with you guys.

[walkingraven]

Welcome Daawg. And Ty, if you're willing to tear out enough other gear there should be room for most anything, hehehe. But we've gotta wait for the game to clear first. So hold your heads high, friends! For we face a 'Verse filled with foes!

...
...right after launch, hehehehehe

Another 'n'pendant report'n Cap'n, though more n'pendant than most I s'pose. Also hear round parts that some 300 more keys just came out Cap'n, though I ain't among the lucky few who got one.

Also, if'n you're look'n for a safe port to call home Cap'n, I hear any world in the Outworlds Alliance is neighborly enough, excuse'n the name they're more like the Outer Rim we're used to. Though I also hear there was once a place called the Rim World's Republic, but from what I can gather, they ain't much of a Republic any more, more like the Outer Rim then anything else since ol' Kerensky blew 'em back to the stone age, and also full of Pirates and if stranger tales are true, something worse, much worse.

Another fan here willing to toss my hat in the ring with you fellas. I will go to your website as soon as I post this and sign up for consideration. Been a LONG time player (played every mechwarrior game put out) and it would be great to be part of a group that values independence and off the wall thinking.

[walkingraven]

I welcome you both. Here's to hoping our little junkyard on Antallos can hold all the glory we're gonna stir up! Start polishing those boots, gents, we hit the dust Aug 7.

[LeTigre]

Definitely a late comer to Firefly, but own the whole series and Serenity now so I can watch them as often as I like. Nothing like a good space cowboy to put you in mind of being a merc...Keep me on the notify list of what you guys plan to do. I will have limited time due to schedule, but I am good in a fight and handle multiple roles with relative ease.
