Thanks Ed Posted Image

Question: Can we unlock the basic skills on the PXH-1 while we're running the cadet matches, and while we're grinding for the other PXHs?


Yes, I am sorry that I did not make that clear. You can unlock basics on the PHX-1 while you are doing your Cadet drops.

Thanks Ed. It's not so much that it was unclear, but I was exercising an abundance of caution.

By the way: Match #3 yielded a Hat Trick. In a stock PXH-1. On Tourmaline. Heh. Feeling that "resourcefulness." Posted Image

Yes, piloting the PHX-1 stock will definitely teach you the value of peaking and poking, firing on the move and using the terrain to your advantage.

Wait, we are supposed to run it stock, right?

"no modifications," and all that?

Yes, but unlocking the mech efficiencies are technically not modifications in my mind. I will add a note of that for new recruits.

Thanks Ed. My day job has me trained to read stuff reeeeeeeeeeeeally carefully. It compels me to ask questions like these to be sure I'm tracking along with you on this kind of thing. :)

PS. My many, many hours of piloting a spider 5D are really beneficial on this challenge. 2ml, 1LL, JJ and bonus mg :D The heat isn't even crazy bad with the shs, so not the worst mech to be stuck stock in.

As someone who considers the Phoenix Hawk one of his alltime favourite tabletop mechs I suppose I really _should_ participate in this. I think there are laws requiring it, right?

Although there is still much for me to add to The Order of the Black Phoenix Challenge / Event, I have already begun constructing the next part of the larger meta event. Follow the progress of The Betrayed here: https://mwomercs.com...__fromsearch__1

I think about 2K, so it will take a few events to get that much. The purpose of the long grind is to make you appreciate the perks you will get as a Knight / Senior Knight / Knight Champion. It will actually feel like an achievement to pilot the "Black Phoenix".

Also, The Betrayed part of the meta event is for those people who have been following this project, but do not like to pilot Shadow Hawks.

This is my understanding of the rules.

I also wanted to double check: we need to buy the PXH-1b and our 3rd variant before we can run anything other than the pxh-1. No buying the 1b and using it to grind the cbills for the third variant?
