Thanks guys, I'm in, thrown a little into the account, I'll make up the balance of my invite costs, once I've cleared my Victor buys.

T4 went so fast, it was like travelling past something in a sports car at speed, and saying guys guys did you see that...damn..you missed it.

So I look like a newb, in a bright green Victor, and already want to take early retirement, can't remember the last time I had a w/l and a K/d of 5/1 in an assault, I don't expect to keep these, but damn it's making me Grin.

Now if only the thing could jump.

Oh and standard engines for the win !

Yeah, I backed Battletech on day one of the Kickstarter. I am so excited for it!!!! I haven't really gotten involved much in the forums over there though. I started into the BT universe with MW2 so I have a longer background in the Mechwarrior universe than the broader Battletech universe. All that to say, I find I don't have a lot to contribute over there since my TT skills and knowledge of lore are rather scant.

But, I agree, the enthusiasm of the HBS devs is contagious and makes me all the more anxious for he game to be released!


HBS is awesome and I am convinced that BATTLETECH will be what I have been waiting for.

Victors own

Ok I just saw the weekend event, and I feel slightly ill, I could have saved millions of C-bills if i'd held back 2 days ..

OMG just looked at this sale. Bonus Challenge #2 is clan mech of your original weight class. Been thinking about Executioners. I don't really have the cbills but if i can come up with 3mil i may have to buy one at this price.

Why Executioners? well i did 3 drops in the trial EXE when i started this because it was closest trial to the Victor. Big gun, JJs not a lot of hard points, and very maneuverable. but then the bargain clan assault is the Highlander IIC. Another JJ assault with big gun hard points and almost 1/2 the cost. decisions,,, decisions

i know technically i can't start the bonus 2 til i finish the bonus 1, but a sale like this only comes around once in a great while. if i can find the time i should finish the last 2 RVNs before the end which should also get me the cbills i need.

sorry family i need to do this, the WMC is counting on me LOL

Edit

I really want to run my Victors and see if i can bust 500 on the leader board. i did break 500 with a 472 on the last RVN LB. about 1/3 of the score needed to get top. But i need to finish mastering these RVN and 3 Victories for 24hrs premium time can make this happen. maybe LOL
may have to sell the CDA2A(C) i got from one one of the challenges (PGI thx my VTR9K Loves the 340xl) need the mechbay but it is only worth 500,000 cbills in trade :-(

can't believe i am over thinking and getting this stressed out over a free to play alt account.

Your family will still be there next weekend. The sale, however, will not. ;)

Hey peeps!

It's been a busy summer for me, so with limited game time comes limited gaming. ;)

I did have a chance to log in for the Panther leaderboard, though. In the 35 games played, I placed 53rd.

I was faced with a choice: hoard my 16 million c-bills for mechs for which I had no mechbays, or purchase my first modules to make a remotely-credible run at the leaderboard.

A Radar Dep, Adv Seismic, and LPL cooldown module later, I was off and running. :D

I'm going to get an MPL range mod to kit out my scouting Panther (XL250, LPL, 3MPL). Gotta work with what I've got, after all ;)

Mechbay update: 2 level 2 mechbays in hand, from Davion and Kurita. I'm with Liao loyalist forces for the time being. The loyalty bays I've already acquired are holding a second PNT-9R for the scouting build, and a PNT-10P for dakka trolololly fun and Panther-i-ness.

The next several bays, and a whole lotta c-bills, will be for my ClanTech lights. Probably going to work modules along the way too. [Edit: I'm also going to keep a mechbay open for the eventual Panther Hero, purchased with F2P MC. If it's the Pink Panther (no joke, see Sarna.net), the irony will not be lost on me. And I will run it gleefully, in case anyone's wondering.]

Anyone else looking forward to the 2016 loyalty program "participation award?" Those c-bills and mechbay are gonna be sweet! (So will the cupcake =^.^=)

so i went and done it. Bought an EXE B, the most expensive Executioner there is. but i saved over 6 mil Cbills. might be awhile before i get 2 more. these clan assaults are expensive. on the bright side it really dose not need much of anything. I get the feeling it has large targets painted on it some were. were the Victors were getting ignored this thing get a priority fire, unless there is a Kodiak or a Whale or an Atlas or something else around lol
