Wrong, it's the Streakcrow



Also: 64% percent cooling efficiency is 100% pointless. Make it 4 medium lasers instead of a piddly 2 and you'll be set.

Something about sarcasm translating poorly to internet forums.

It works fine if people "get it". It's like a joke, it doesn't matter if you find it funny if nobody else does.

Just get the HBK IIc with the 8E slots and load up on cSPL and shoot out a leg. Easy pickings after. Also Iconic mech.

It's iconic for being a ******* deathtrap that only suicidal pilots chose to drive.

Really don't like being a jerk, but if you didn't realize that the original post was a sarcastic joke mocking whiners, using joke font and a joke build within 0.2 seconds of opening this thread, then I pray you don't breed.

hahahahah

I pretty much picked up on what the OP was going for the instant I saw Comic Sans. I do believe it would take an extraordinarily oblivious person (or a willfully oblivious person, either/or) to not pick up on the joke. That said, there are a LOT of willfully oblivious people on the Internet.

I'm sorry, but with the amount of starch this games player base has in them, i think this would have a higher chance of being legit than a joke thread.

Really? Because I am seeing posts taking the thread seriously.

So maybe, just maybe, it isn't really obvious.

Or maybe it is obvious, and they're wee-todd-did.

Or maybe it is obvious, and they're being deliberately obtuse as an excuse to have an argument.

Or maybe YOU'RE USING THAT MEME WRONG STOP THAT.

I can not belive this...

It is not possible for me to make a satire more obvious without directly stating it, robbing the last fun out of it.

Everyone was just trying to salvage a low quality thread with some meaningful discussion. Sorry about your joke.

To be fair, I can't read the script font that this shows on mobile. There are too many Starch-Lords on here who would (and do) seriously take builds very much like this, so it wasn't that extreme a satire, sadly.

I realized the OP was just joking, but then read the posts following, and saw all the outraged responses. I guess that shows how much people love their mechs, and how serious mechwarriors are about their builds, that when they see a satire, they see it as truth....

I admire their dedication to the game and lore....

But anyone who sees a timby with 4 streaks and 2 medium lasers as a viable build? come on now.....
I have to admit that even I was about to respond with a scathing post on the foibles of such a build, but then the truth of he matter rose like a shining sun, burning away the fog of morning, and I saw the light of reason.

A good joke to open a great conversation on killing lights!
