How about teammate skill as a consideration? Typically there are more inexperienced pug players on IS than Clan simply due to the investment needed to build clan mechs (I don't know if there is any evidence to back up this claim but this is the rhetoric).

When you are playing Clan, since your teammates are more competent you actually get fewer kills and it takes less damage overall to kill your opponents.

Anecdotally, I've gotten 20 kill games on CW in an IS pug group and have done close to 4000 damage on a few occasions where I've had to carry hard. Now these might be outliers (and you're pulling your top scores to compare) but I've never done that well when dropping with an organized team. I don't think it is possible when everyone is competent.

When playing with a good group I'm more likely to get in the neighbourhood of 6-8 kills and under 2000 damage.

Now if I was to track all of my stats and say that organized play isn't as good as PUG play since my stats are lower with groups, what would you say?

And as far as the panther v firestarter, I actually use the panther more. I like the 2 ERPPC build on Boreal Vault and Hellborne Springs more than the SPL Firestarter.

I like my 2ppc adder also more than the ACH. I also use my NVA and not the SCR. I know it means sacrificing quite a lot, but I would lose too much inetrest when using the other 2 mechs. I need my beloved ones to keep me motivated.

Lilly, can't remember the last time I used a Stormcrow in CW. I like the Nova better also.

Ah, the insult. I play fine, thanks. The Firestarter and Raven were NOT just as good. The RAVEN? Really?

That's what all the bad players say.
