Any guidleines? 3025 chassis, etc?

Maybe come up with a list of the classics, random generator?

Something like that.

think I'll go with the GRF just to have something 1) different from my normal playstyle and 2) something that won't break the bank to run

I specifically chose mechs that would provide a challenge

[NoMoreCenturions]

Finally finished the Shadowcat:



Here is where I am after Bonus #2:



Think I'll take a bit of a break, before trying the stock 2025 challenge.

Was hoping the RFL-3N would be I the list, really wanted the challenge of getting my inner Davis McCall on.

If it is available for Cbills I will add it. I was going to add the Archer, but it is still for MC only.

[NocturnalBeast]

@Bishop Steiner: RFL-3N added, go get your Davis McCall on!

Ed Steele, on 03 July 2016 - 09:01 PM, said:

3050 era second trilogy sadly is nowhere near as good, but yeah the first one is some good pulp fiction.

If you buy the mech brand-new (like the challenge requires) you will have ammo, and heatsinks

Have you used a stock RFL 3N?

10 SHS, for 2x LL, 2x ML, 2x AC5.
For those AC5, 1 ton of ammo (15 shots per gun)
7.5 tons of armor.

Brand new, stock:
No Ammo
No Heatsinks
No Armor

I stand by my assessment

[Bishop Steiner]

Also bought the 3C for leveling, and when I get the money the 5D, which I will then try to retrofit into a 3D version. To keep the pain flowing.

1) Does this go in general, for other chassis? For instance, other base variants for TRO 3025 mechs (stock LCT-1V, anyone )? Or is the intent to do Unseen, plus a few more iconic types, to keep the options from exploding?

Edit, looks like an answer for #1:

Ed Steele, on 03 July 2016 - 08:14 PM, said:

So no WVR-6R, DRG-1N, etc, then?

2) Clarification request, because it's not specific in the OP (and I'm hoping I didn't miss something obvious): Are we doing just the one iconic variant from the chassis, pretty much guaranteeing that it remains no more than basiced, or are we also able to do additional variants for levelling?

No just 100 games in the unaltered-basic variant. Again, it can not be a mech that you have already used, because you want your stats to show no more and no less than 100 games. You do not need to master this mech. Also, I kept the list small for simplicity.

Totally got this part.

But you had to know we'd ask if we could even if we don't need to.

Kinda figured, but curiosity kills the cat after all.
