I wouldn't sweat it too much. I think it was a gray area in the rules. Now that Ed has clarified we all know.

In the beginning i used a few trials too. Even if it just was for the "win 5 times in trials" achievement. Every single CB and GXP was useful^^
Since then, i just use my owned mechs.

P.S.: 3X or Ed, can you modify my Mechlist to Panther, Thunderbolt, Hunchback? thx

Ermmm..upn reading this I may have made a grevious error.....I did 6 matches in the HBK trial before buying the regular version of said trial...have I messed up?
I used the Op as a guide and it didn't say anything about the trial mech....I did buy exactly the same model if that counts?

Well, since it was still a Hunchback, I won't consider it an error, especially since I had never really clarified. I think I may need to update the OP again soon.

I thought the Trial of your chassis was OK? I did my cadet stuff in the Trial VTR, because there was no way I had the money to do anything in a normal Victor.

Your choice, but you need to make an account specifically for the Challenge if you want to be a part of the Challenge.

So, a member of the unit I'm part of, the 13th War Dogs, managed to somehow and inexplicably convince me to join him (FlipOver) in this Challenge. Did the Quiz, got the Grasshopper, which is cool since, although it wasn't one my favourites in TT, I always considered it a good option in the Heavy class, even more so since I don't have the mech in my main account, which is this one, this is a good opportunity to see how well I do with the mech. Who knows, if I end up enjoying it too much, I might very well buy the variants for this account too.

Anyway, the first variant that I'm set to buy will be the 5H, since it's the cheapest . Thing is, the 5.200.000 C-Bills one gets from all Academy Awards ain't enough (the 5H is nearly 6mil, IIRC), and there isn't a trial 'Hopper, so I'm wondering if it's ok to use a random trial (this case being the TDR-9SE(C) since it's the closest in weight and profile) to get the required C-Bills left to buy. Way I see it, one or two matches should be enough, considering the Cadet Bonus.

EDIT: The account name is -- ph4nt0m m3rc3n4ry -- I know, real original and all.

Yes, use of a trial mech similar in weight to your own is acceptable until you have the cbills to buy your mech . Welcome to the chaos

Thanks for the welcome.

Actually, one match was enough. Can't let this get to my head, though. Soon enough, I'll be eventually reaching T2... Ah well, bought the 5H already, though still running trial until I get enough C-Bills for DHS, and so on and so forth. Will post when I have 3 variants and mastered and stuff.

The Grasshopper 5H was my favorite IS heavy in MWO, until I got my Marauders and now it is a tossup between my MAD-5D and MAD-5M.

Ah, Bishop, you of all people should enjoy such a tedious challenge! At least I will be able to do Arctic Cheetahs if I ever get to that phase of the Challenge. :-)

I am not sure how it all works, but I am unable to change the ranks of unit members. I could change my own rank if I wished to, but I do not get that option for others right now.
