had a dream about MWO last night. i was in a match, except it felt like I was literally in the cockpit (THANK YOU MWO'S FIRST-PERSON PERSPECTIVE LOL). It was just me, and like four guys on the other team. I don't remember what mech I was in, but I was trying to get a flea from the other team to fight me.

At first I was peeking and poking, and then I hid and they couldn't find me, but I finally got the flea to chase me and fight me. both of us had MASC. I don't remember how it ended, but it was fun as hell! :)

[img ... Aerotech is comming .../img]


Reminds me that when Freespace 2 modding was a thing I wanted to create an Aerotech mod for it. Started with modding some weapons but never got far with it. I think I had some form of autocannons done, then switched to the Wing Commander mod.

Isn't doing the ForumWarrior a sign that you don't play enough? ^_°

I often have dreams related to MWO.

Most of them are nightmares.

I play mainly with an Annie. The nightmares most often happen when I play until late night and then go to sleep.

In my nightmares, I'm stranded from my team, completely isolated, then from the distance, I see a small silhouette.

It ominously approaches me in a zig zag motion. I shoot my heavy gauss only to miss. Then when I notice it, the thing is hugging my legs.

By then I'm already sweating as I sleep.

I desperately try to see what is hugging me, but my chicken breast doesn't allow me to see whats beneath me.

Then I suddenly realize the small silhouette was a flea/piranha.

The sweating intensifies.

In less than 2 seconds, my side torsos are hit from the back and both my heavy gauss rifles explode.

By then I'm a helpless chicken breast with only 3 medium particle lasers in my main torso.

I resign myself as any resistance is futile and die.

The end. Of my nightmare. But only it is too real when I get nascar'ed behind by my team.

Seeing a piranha or flea in game when I'm stranded from the team legit triggers my PTSD.

When I'm piloting an Annie I legit tremble in fear when I see piranhas or fleas. Hate them.

my post count is directly proportional to the amount of wait time in the game.

i was big into freespace modding back in the day. i even have some code in the engine. it was an obsession almost as sever as my mwo addiction in the following decade. with maybe a short stint in ksp modding in between. i really dont think the fs2 engine was up to the task as bt uses torch ships, i tried to fix that with a newtonian mod but you just run out of space and get the wiggles, and the only weapon that wouldnt crash the game were flak guns, game just isnt set up to handle large number formats. might be better off using something like space engine.

I'm dreaming about total MWO, like I never had a dream about it but I'm still dreaming. You go what you want: Mech, infantry, battle armor, vehicle, aerofighter. With mechs drops from dropships. 128 vs 128 maybe more. Maybe I will live to see that.

My strangest dream was with subtittles. I was a German soldier at the eastert front. All people in that dream were speaking in german. I don't know that language, but I had subtitles in that dream in my native language, like in a movie. So in dream translation.

I used to dream occasionally about something related to MechWarrior, not necessarily MWO, years back.
But since so long ago the general experience of the game is mostly garbage, probably my subconscious mind just looks at something else to dream about.

I can recite nearly every mech in the game, common loadouts, every weapon weight and damage output... but can't remember where I parked my dang car.
