Hi
Sorry a Steiner is dropping in, but i stumbled upon this post and thought i might aswell give an answer based on my experience in cw (wich is mostly based on Steiner vs. Clans).
You should try to find an organized drop group or an unit that suits you, it makes things so much easier and fun.
First you should stick to a wight class that suits you, if thats light and assault, there are certainly mechs to find there that will work in cw.
The Stalker 4N should actually be one of those.
When you find a group or unit, things might change a bit, as you will most likely change your dropdeck depending on the tactics that are used there.
E.g. for the groups or in the unit i'm in thats mostly heavys like the various Thunderbolt variants or other heavys with roughly about 70-85 kph, because we like to attack and push in as a whole team with more or less the same speed.
So the dropdeck i mostly use is like 2x Thunderbolt 5SS, 1x Thunderbolt 9SE and 1x Griffin 2N.
But we have some Battlemasters or Stalkers mixed in from time to time and Ravens 3L for Ecm too.
But again, that will depend a lot at the tactics the group or unit you might end up with prefer.
As long as you are going in with a Pug theres nothing wrong with your deck, maybe try a Blackjack instead of one of the Ravens like the Blackjack 1X to get yourself a bit more firepower.
Range is nice but at range clanners will outgun you most of the time, from my experience they don't really like brawls and closerange fights because their laserbuilds at least tend to run very hot very fast.
You might considers this too.
