Once you have all of the Academy Achievements, use the C-Bills that you have earned to purchase a Phoenix Hawk PHX-1 BattleMech.

Bummer. Was kind of looking forward to your little challenge.

Hope everyone else has fun.

Do not worry, as I said this is only the first part of a meta event. The next part(s) will feature other mechs, maybe ones that you might want to pilot. I just want to get the Order of the Black Phoenix up and running first.

I am glad that you are interested in the Challenge, but you must make a new account and follow the rules of the Order. If you don't want to join the Order, I will be revealing the "Black Phoenix" build in an upcoming update, so you can configure one yourself and play it on you main account. Also, you do not need to play your Order account exclusively, play your main account when you need a break and then come back.

I'm thinking you set this up in the wrong place, Ed. There's a section for community run events. Maybe one of the mods will be kind enough to move this for you?

This is the Discussion Topic for my event, the actual Event page is in the Player Creations section and there is a link to that topic above. I have set it up this way so that there are only recruitment request posts on the main Topic which will make it easier for me to maintain my roster.

I clarified the rules for you:

• Reply to this topic from your main account, posting your new Pilot Name and your pledge to follow the Code of Honor (when playing on your Order account), nothing more, and nothing less.

Thanks Ed

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?
