We'll do this one at a more European friendly timezone. The ultimate goal is to get enough people with Stormtrooper decks that we don't need to schedule specific drop nights for them. That any night can be a 'stormtrooper' drop night on the FRR hub.


DAY: Saturday April 9th

TIME: 2:00PM EST / 8:00PM CEST

WHERE: The FRR Hub - Valgard Dropship

We have 42 confirmed Stormtrooper pilots from all over the FRR. We need to keep up the good work and get everyone on board. This isn't about being 'comp' or 'meta' or some people telling other people what to do; it's about giving the FRR the best chance at survival.

We're doing this for the FRR and if you actually want to help the FRR then you should do it too.

Also in a game that is far too lacking in RP content, consider this RP. You, pilots of the FRR, are all being encouraged by the FRR government to adopt this deck. It's your first assignment as part of our defense force. You have two weeks to get it ready before a new assault begins.

Good drops today. We started out with about 6 and peaked at 12. We crushed everything in our wake and, in fact, did so well we inspired people to make sad posts in reddit.

We have taken the Stormtrooper banner into the Euro timezone and hopefully everyone enjoyed it.

Here's some SS's:

Sadly, we only fought skittles.

Still - a good chance for everyone to stretch their decks out and see how they run in proper 12 mans. I think I have also shown many people the 'light' in regards to the Quickdraw-4H.

=D i think that can be arranged for one of the variations.
Lots of salt in that thread. People not happy, I guess we can't have anything nice.

You inspired a Reddit salt-thread!

Because you had 1 BK wave in your drop!

I.... I....

There are tears in my eyes I'm so happy and proud right now. It even included a circle-jerk, mid-tantrum about how OP the BK is, about how the official forums are just people throwing tantrums about how OP stuff is.

Elevated beyond 'excellent synergy deck so good it's changing how people look at CW for the IS' and into 'trolling pompous tear-factories on reddit'.

This is why I like the IS playerbase more. They tend to stick together and mesh better, even when QQ would go IS on IS during the Lord Clan era, the IS as a whole put up a better fight.

Bravo, Stormtroopers, Bravo! The clans think we are dropping 3 waves of BKs and a light wave. They are in for more tear filled surprises.

This is just a merc asking and totally snark free, but our unit has dropped 3 BKs and a firestarter since the last re-quirking (if not before).

The oxides are great, however not everyone pays for hero mechs...

So has that not been considered previously?
Because BKs on temperate/cold maps are kinda awesome...

BK structure quirck just ridiculus it an heavy that can tank like an assualt. If they gonna expand there stormtrooper deck it logicly they will include triple BK+light since alot stormtroopers has already 1 BK but they need time before expanding it.

There not alot people who has the first stromtrooper deck in FRR they need more player to jump on the synergy drop deck before making other laser dropdeck or even dakka dropdeck. Once they have comfortable playerbase they probably gonna try expand the synergy dropdeck.


On a side note although BK a great mech on cold map Boreal probably the worst map for it XD.
