[Stingr4y]

Was cleaning up some tools in my mechbay, and just before I shut off the lights to go to sleep, I see this painted on the back of my mech:



You know how many hours it takes to clean this off? And how many more of my mechs have this? Laugh about it now, guys. But sooner or later, PGI will give me my Stingr4y module, which allows my mech to take more punishment if I get shot in the back.

Wow- we just paint the target on Conreg/Mastachangs' legs. So funny to watch them hobble around. Killing is so...quick.

Its probably more of a guideline. Something along the idea of "If you can't line up a shot at the enemy directly, shoot through here to find the hidden weak spot.."

Hey, we've got a lot of newbies around here... Must've been a big Marik Initiation night or something... } ; = 8 P

Also stingray I have to confess something:

We did it, in all the anger and confusion over the last few days, while everyone was focused on other things.

NKVA painted targets on the backs of all your mechs.

So, NKVA?

Does the upcoming weekend event have any baring on the selection of the paint job?


Then again, I never had problems directing LRMs your way, during those enjoyable Marik Madness events.


It has been too long since I went to one, they were enjoyable. Especially how you would always just be out in the open 400 or so meters away from me, then curse me for firing in chain fire.

Poor Stingr4y.

Listen, we were under the impression that painting targets on your back was a proud Marik tradition, and moved forward with our plan in order to rebuild bridges a certain someone did his best to burn.

Was the target the wrong color or in the wrong spot, or something? If so, apologies, friend, we will attempt to correct any mistakes very soon.

Dude, that's been there since like the second week of Marik Monday Madness.

You really need to preform your pre-launch-walk-around yourself, and not trust your mechanics to do it for you.

I've alpha'd Stingr4y's back only once, and that was during a proper MGA duel!

Watch it. Steve Irwin thought it was funny to paint stuff on his mech too.

Is this too soon?

Never too soon, that's why I call you...

So, since this painting has happened by the mysterious, I have increased all my back armor to max. Good luck scratching the back armor.

Now, what to do with the Urban Mech? 360 torso twist? What is the back armor?

[Stingr4y]

I cannot get a drop without having all my back armor stripped. PGI needs to get on the ball with this Stingr4y module. Otherwise, these matches can get a bit frustrating..

I never knew that stingrays had armored backs...I need to watch nature channel more .

Facet of evolution. Additional back armor increases their survivability long enough to recruit new players to their unit.
