Ooff, i'm still busy with:

1 Locust (PB, like)
3 Commandos (Crazy movement, in some ways crazier than Locusts IMO, enjoying them)
3 Spiders (well....I like the jumping?)
3 Firestarters (Nice! Resisted getting these for a long time but me really like)
2 Panthers (They can be quite fun, any enemy that disregards me gets punished severely)
3 Blackjacks (Not much to say about them yet, jury is still out on them)
3 Enforcers (After a long struggle I'm finally reaching an understanding with them. Tried loads of different builds. Having Elited them probably helped loads as well)
3 Hunchbacks (Liking them, I recommend them to New Players for a reason)
3 Shadowhawks (Disappointed to be honest, especially dislike the view from the cockpit, wish I had gone for some Griffins or Wolverines instead, I'll probably do away with all of them in the future)
3 Stormcrows (Don't really like them to be honest. I can accept they are good mechs, great even maybe, but they just don't seem to click for me no matter what I try)
3 Grasshoppers (I like the tall guys, much mobile [pulse]laser fun)
1 Battlemaster (the last of the bunch, just a little bit to go, nice chassis)
3 King Crabs ( I love these big guys, they just need a special rear view camera so I can see my own jiggling mech butt)

Snaga's got a lot of fun work to do!

On a side note, my Panther 10P is now fully elited. I get the feeling that the last 21,500 until the module is unlocked may be painful.

It was the "I think..." that got me. I keep a spreadsheet with names, builds, mastery status, engine type, etc. I'm sick, though, admittedly, but I do immediately know that 194/232 mechs are mastered, with 1 elited and 23 basiced.



The better question is how many will admit it.

Ohhhhh...yeah, I'm an accountant for a real job, so the fewer spreadsheets I do at home, the better.

And I'll ALWAYS fully Elite my mechs, but my rule on Mastering (at least after I got my 70th mech or whatever it is), is that the Mech has to earn it. So the mech has to be good enough that I use it enough to get that extra module slot.

LOL. So am I, but now a full-time-Dad and I find that I make excuses to do spreadsheets. Withdrawal?

[3xnihilo]

Right now:

Locust 3v, 1v, 1m, 3s
Raven 3l, Huginn
Com 3a
Cicada 2b
Shadowhawk 2k, 2d2, 5m
Urbies
Jäger Champion
Cataphract OXP

I also still need 1 Raven, 2 jagers, 2 cataphracts, & 2 Griffins.

At least those are all the mechs I have that Have not elited/mastered yet. I am mostly working on the Caraphract, Shadowhawks, and locust 3v. With very limited playtime and many mechs to master the going can be rather slow

Use F3 for a REAL "rear" view.

As for me, I have yet to find a new IS 'mech that can do the same job better than my Hunchback, Jagermech, Thunderbolt or Stalker. Let's see what the upcoming ones are like, especially the hitboxes and the exact hardpoint locations.

I don't have a spreadsheet for this.

However, I bothered to write a text file to keep track of how many I've mastered. It's not like PGI would code a built-in counter for convenience or anything of the sort.

Speaking of which, I'll have to update it right now.

Finally got around to work on my Mad Dogs.

What I like:
They are pretty agile missile and energy platform, I am running all of them are with stock omni components.
They are Mad Dog

What I don't like:
I need to get used to how little armour they have.
The lack of Jump Jets and burst damage makes them poor brawler.


MDD Prime - Vanilla
4x ERML
2x CLRM15-A

MDD B - Hunter
3x ERML
3x SRM6-A
1x LPL

Lotsa good Zeus builds, what are you trying?

Which chassis are you working on?

Really? Great PUG mech.

[fat4eyes]

Finally got 3 hunchbacks in the sale a few weeks back. I was underwhelmed when I tried them last year but decided to give them a try this time around. They finally paid off when the oceanic servers came online, since I can now actually brawl with AC20s without being randomly shot to death by enemies with a ping advantage.

[RoboPatton]

I'm leveling my Archeeta. I love it. I enjoy light mechs, back stabbing, and having a clan firestarter with ECM is just too cool. Thing is brutal, and a ton of fun to play.

Gave up on my Scats. Not the worst (as some would have you think) but definitely a mediocre mech IMO. Seems like it was made for "role warfare" in a game that's all about focus fire and boating.

[CycKath]

As usual too many. I play each til 1st victory of the day then move on to the next unless I'm super close on unlocking a skill and just need another match to push me over.

All four Pumas.
Golden Boy.
Treb 7K.
Firebrand.
Grasshopper 5P
Mad Cat Prime and S (don't have a third yet so...)
Orion V
Highlanders 732B, 733 and 733P
Zeus 5S

Goal is to get at least the last of Resistance bonus four done prior to Resistance 2 dropping, hoping to maybe clear my present IS 'Mechs before that.

[JonahGrimm]

I cannot get out of my SHC-B - this thing is just a monster, and despite having elited the chassis, I'm just racking up more experience than I can use at an alarming rate.

If I decide to take a break, my next mech will be Centurions, specifically looking to build a solid, fast brawler rather than the crazy light-hunting skirmisher I have now. Thing is, though, prying me out of the shadow cat may be impossible.

[patataman]

First, my target is to master em all, so i'm not following the mech of the month...

1) Commandos, all of them except the 2d, that one leveled very fast and it's already mastered. At first i didn't like them, but after a while i'm having fun. I plan to keep the 2d and sell the others. I'm more inclined to play locusts XD

2) Zeus, i mastered the variant with 3 missiles and 3 energy and got bored (6T?)... now it's time to level up the other 2. I love the 6T, the other 2 not so much. 3 x srm4, erppc, 2 x mpl.

3) Shadow hawk 2k, and the 2d too, but the 2d has no build yet. The 2k uses 3 lpl and a srm 4... i don't totally like it, but it performs well at medium and short ranges.

4) Raven huggin. srm4 vomit, very situational and very fun to play in urban maps like RC or CS. I was considering the idea of doing something radical like ac20 raven just for the lulz. - oh look a huggin. 2 srm4s , no need to check the loadout - boom. - rekt.

[Drafton]

So right now i'm leveling the King Crab.

1, Loving the King Crab, its a tough mech and outputs a lot of pain

Also enjoy my Misery as its an all roung good mech

Sparky is also another one of my go to mechs, its great for cbill grinding

2, My catapults, they are fragile as heck and after the arm pod was changed it became even more useless. I sold my K2 but kept my A1(c) and Jester as I paid cash for those.

Also all lights as I am crap at piloting those lol.

Also a vid of my Crab just because lol (music is loud so be warned)

Working on getting my Panthers and King Crabs up to mastery at the moment. Lately I've been playing my KC named Rock Lobster most (double Gauss, double ERLL) since I got the Skuld reward crab which I kept the double AC20s on up to master Level. Haven't spent much time on the last crab (named Jumbo Shrimp) yet, so haven't really outfitted it yet.

Panthers are all elited. Just the final slog to mastery left on all of those.

After that I may start on the Zeus, even if it is a filthy Lyran social general mech.

Yes, they're all IS mechs because Clans are evil and bad and evil and will give you an STD if you sit in their mechs. Also small children will laugh at you, dogs will bark as you pass and you will get an itch on that spot on your back you can never reach!
