Yep have to do the loyalist thing to get the other mech bays :-(

So until folks speak up that we are ready to do a loyalist campaign, we will probably be taking the best bonus contract. Although we are almost a Liao loyalist unit

The other option is to leave the unit and do a private loyalist campaign like Amaranth Panther is doing.

edited because i finally got on my 'puter and was able to spell Amaranth Panther grrr i hate posting from my phone

OK What Mech Challenge MechWarriors it appears we have a challenge in which a goodly amount of MC can be earned for doing odd things. As I know we all need MC check it out

https://mwomercs.com...ents?t=201609mw

remember MC=Mech Bays so get out there, do odd things, and earn some MC

at the end i would be curious how you guys make out. so share your achievements.like easiest, and the one that no mater what you did there was no way you were going to get it...

[Amaranth Panther]

I'm not gonna get the ones for NARC or TAG. Those with Ravens or Commies may enjoy it though

The formation bonuses or component harvesting(wut) ones seem easiest. That and the 3PV or(lolwrong) coolshot achievements (I've got plenty of freebie coolshots). UAVs too.

I focused more on the component harvesting one, because it seemed achievable but required a bit of dedication, and yields a new paint color I don't have.

I've got my Marik "Loyalty" reward mechbay in hand now. Moving on to FRR or Steiner next, unless I have a reeeeeeeelllllly compelling reason to go elsewhere for the FP event next weekend.

Edit: I went and did it.

Got my ClanTech light mech.

Jenner IIC means I'm (sort of) keeping it in the Kurita family with the Panther.

Thinking Dragon for the stock challenge. It'd make it kind of a theme

Darker Tidings's Ravens are complete!




My re-roll on the test said "Thunderbolt", which I'm not unhappy about - should eventually give me an Invasion drop-deck to play with.

The weekend event was kind to my wallet so I'll throw in some more c-bills directly (I'm blocked on mechbays until the loyalty reward / a bunch more CW scouting grind anyway.)

Congrats

I got lucky in my first game, and I think P.G.I have ninja changed the conditions for the 3 days, as I got it after 1 qualifying match thank god

Progress Report:

Final score for the event has me completing all but the NARC and TAG challenges.

I also have 2 new JR7-IICs (all-missile Oxide upgrade, and all-energy JR7-F upgrade variants), both basic-ed with a big head start on the elites for the missile boat. Prolly Decidedly getting the JR7-D copycat for the third because it has more missile hardpoints and it's cheaper. I'm about 40% of the way to the c-bill cost of that one.

10/10 mechbays filled, with 4/6 IS Loyalty Tour (Rank 2) mechbays collected. That's 5 Panthers (2x 9Rs), 3x VTRs, and the 2 new solahma suicide sleds (the JR7-IICs really are alarmingly brittle even with full armor, which is fitting). Bays incoming from FRR and Steiner. Then do I dare chase the Rank 2 Clanner bays with some solahma suicide sled scouting?

I've upgraded and unlocked a bunch of weapon modules. Panther's weapon sets are covered, starting to work the Victors' loadouts. I'm also approaching the 50% price for the eventual Panther hero, all with free MC. I'm pretty excited about it.

Interesting discovery:

Because decals do funny things with the colors, when I went to use my new event-reward Shield 2 dekkle, it didn't match the camo's color qualities when I applied my "signature" Amaranth color to it.

Then I had a hunch (no, not a Hunchie ), and checked the color with Basic Red on the dekkle. Lo and behold, the dekkle morphed the basic red into a kind of premium Amaranth. The dekkle in Basic Red matched the Amaranth paint better than the Amaranth-colored dekkle did!

So I splurged some c-bills on the Basic Red, and now I have a lovely Amaranth Shield to dek(kle) out all my mechs. Looked mighty nice when I was running the 3pv challenge (boo 3pv challenge).

Sadly, no. I had 3 matches that would seem to have qualified.

However, the telemetry system invalidated all 3 of those matches because of the way 1pv is triggered when there's a wall or mech behind you.

Remember how the drone gets forced back toward the cockpit if there's not enough room behind you for it to float freely? The telemetry apparently reads that as disengaging 3pv. And yes, I've got an e-mail from Support saying that because of conditions such as those, I couldn't be awarded the PT.

I'm resigned to it. I saved it for last, because I didn't want to hamstring anything else trying futilely to qualify for it. Looks like a good call

I ended up competing all but that one, the NARC and TAGs, the Protected Medium (don't have one on this acct), and the Defensive Kills. I'm not even sure how to qualify for a defensive kill, to be honest--I got none. I worked hard for that Wolf Brown paint (it's the co-primary paint on my JR7-IICs) and the Shield 2 dekkle (it's plastered all over each of my mechs now).

I took a contract with Liao since they are still paying the most, but I would like some opinions on taking some lesser paying contracts to pick up the faction rewards from the other factions. I think we have added quite a few players who could probably benefit from the extra mechbays.

i mastered my commandos and my next one is an atlas, which is now basic'd but i need more mechbays. or i could sell a commando but i can't decide which one.

i was hoping we could go with a more popular faction for the next contract cuz i'm finding it diffucult to get drops in scout or invasion unless i look around and find a match that gives me no reputation points. i'm not sure which are the most popular IS houses, stiener i think is one of them anyway.

EDIT: for rep points i was looking at "Liao" who we are contracted with instead of "mercenary" at the bottom of the IS house and clan list. its just slow going.

[Baron Von Hunchback]

Well four hunchbacks are all fully elited and halfway to the complete mastery..got about 9k ish on all four to the extra module slot:)

[Ollys Ghost]

Scouting challenge complete; 12 KMDDs takes a while in a Raven, I tell you what...

A side bonus was the merc loyalty, handing me the first level mechbay - now used by a second Thunderbolt. Roll on the loyalty reward and/or a mechbay sale!

[Ih8tevictors]

I have been a bit absent as of late. truth be known the EXE has proven to be a bit of a grind to get enough Cbills to buy #2. that and RL is taking a toll. this being my busy season. i will try to at least keep the contract alive but be patient if i am a bit late. or one of the other guys feel free to take a contract if i am late. once Nov gets here along with the deep snows i should have a bit more time to keep up my normal witty commentary.

BTW on my main account i had a bit of MC and with there being a heavy mech sale decided to buy the last 2 CPLT i was missing. OMG is the super stock ButterBee a wrecking ball, well under 100m.
