I find inspiration in those who have dedicated themselves to only piloting one 'mech/chassis.

Look at the horde of Summoners with ERPPCs running around as of lately .

Now ask yourself which kind of idiot might instigate such a useless thing like that .
Eggsacktly ... look upon my works and despair, ye mighty ones ^^

This is my Kit Fox. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Yes, I only pilot Kit Foxes. True mastery over one particular mech can yield very strangely good results if you put your mind to it...check the hero leaderboards. Theres probably also at least two other dedicated single chassis pilots out there.

At this point I probably would just play Quickdraws or maybe Cataphracts...thats a tough choice for me actually...but since I almost only ever play in Quick play group queue, I need a variety of mechs so I can drop tonnage when we have a lot of folk on.

Very admirable.

I tend to pilot Shadow Cats and occasionally Kit Foxes.

The Purifier is such a joy to pilot.

I generally stick to Centurions or Warhammers when I play these days... sometimes I take my Warhawk out for a spin too.

When I first started grinding, it was the Thunderbolt.

Now it's "Whats the event? Am I going for damage of kills? Am I still having fun with this mech?"

While I grind mech chassis one's I really like. I can only really think of one pilot. Veigle, he's always in a cicada, from what I've seen anyways.

I only run my C-4.

Well, my C-4 and sometimes my Phoenix 2-H.

Oh, and my Arrow. So my Arrow, my C-4, and sometimes my 2-H.

Okay, and I just bought a Marauder pack, so all of those, too.

Nevermind.

Those of you who are piloting just one chassis should be very pleased with the upcoming skill tree changes.

I know I am, for sure. 5 million Kit Fox EXP waiting for first-day masteries! :D

As long as the skill trees don't suck, it will be interesting to see what I can do. Each mach will have allot more personality for sure but it's only a matter of time before we see a skill tree meta

I can say i'm more or less the opposite of this. it's "get a new chassis- master all the variants then I...oh a new chassis, well better master them all, ok now... hey this mech looks nice..." so I never really settle on any one mech for any length of time- which is why i'm probably average at best in everything I own. I do have a few favorited for events but even then it's one of a half dozen mechs.

Not until now, but with the arrival of the Assassin I might become a one-'Mech pilot.

*looks at sig*

...or four...don't make me choose!!!

I've been playing the Mad and the T-Wolf the most lately but I still have fun game with the T-Bolt. New mechs are always fun, I was having a great run with the SRM Catapult before taking a break, looking forward to my next run with it but is I feeling down: time for the Thud 5SS Murder Machine come out of the hanger! It only a bad day if the other team is made up of long range builds with a good firing line.

I agree - new mechs are always fun!

It's all about find a mech that you enjoy once the novelty wears off.
