We're still looking for more pilots to join us.

We have a good balance of mech weight classes so we are looking for pilots of any mech type.

If you're looking for a merc corp that can get you into the action fast and you also have an interest in ponies, check out our site. The recruiting process is easy, fill out a simple form on our site www.hellsponies.net and we'll get you into the action shortly after. Generally the recruiting process lasts about a week, sometimes a bit longer.

Hell's Ponies Merc Corp is still looking for additional pilots to allow for more frequent 8-man drops.

If you have an interest in a more competitive merc corp and happen to like ponies, check out our site at www.hellsponies.net and apply today!

We're still looking for more pilots with an interest in doing 8vs8 group drops. It's a great way to prepare for the updated matchmaker that will force more even fights.

Here's an 8-man drop sample from last night (I need to make some adjustments to improve audio quality in future films):




If you like ponies and are interested in joining the fun in 8vs8 (we still do 4-man drops during off-peak times), check out our site at www.hellsponies.net.

Safety of our pilots is our highest priority. A recent incident in another merc corp has raised questions about the safety of the SSRM2's when the pilot fired multiple SSRM2's at an enemy mech but ended up killing himself with the SSRM2's when they damaged the mech cockpit.

Hell's Ponies Merc Corp is proud to have a perfect safety record involving the SSRM2. We have not had any accidents involving SSRM2's and properly maintain all our weapons to ensure pilot safety.

Hell's Ponies Merc Corp is still looking for more pilots of any mech type. We do both 8-man groups as well as small groups.

Here is an 8-man match from tonight:





Apparently at least 1 member of the enemy team was suffering some sort of... keyboard malfunction...

Hell's Ponies Merc Corp is still looking for new recruits.

Currently we have a well balanced team that runs matches in both 8-man and small groups. If you would like to be part of a team that is serious about winning and you happen to like ponies, check out our site at www.hellsponies.net.

We at the Eridani Light Pony would like to thank Hell's Ponies for helping to spread awareness of the dangers of cockpit damage from Streak SRM use. The pilot mentioned above is recovering but it's unlikely he'll ever drive again.

Hell's Ponies is currently looking for a few Assault and Heavy pilots.

At this time mediums and lights are lower priority but we are still accepting applications from all types of mech pilots.

If you like ponies and are looking for a pony related mech corp to join, check us out at www.hellsponies.net.

[Zylo]

We're still looking for Assault and Heavy pilots but light and medium pilots are also welcome to apply.

Generally our most active time is later at night after 2100PDT. We do have some members active at earlier hours but most groups happen a bit later at night.

[Zylo]

We're still recruiting but I also wanted to add an update based on the recent comments about CW:




Update:
Hell's Ponies is officially against any plan to limit CW to premium subscription players. Hell's Ponies will never require players to spend MC to play as part of the group.

[Klaus]

I'll just put this here.



Join us today and people will rage at you when they die too!

[Sir Roland MXIII]

Nice aimbot Klaus!

I'd like to invite the artists of the Hell's Ponies Merc Corp to take a look at a recent post in the "Let there be Pony" thread.

It is for a good cause, so I'll invite the artists of the two other pony units as well. I hope you can look past your past and present quarrels and maybe even work together on this one.

I'll pass this on to the rest of the corp, thanks Egomane.

We're still here and recruiting both experienced as well as new players. Some of our members did take a bit of a break but we admit we got a bit bored killing tanks rather than mechs so we're back in MWO killing mechs again (even suspected Steiner sync-drops).


It's not a perfect 8-0 but still, it's not bad after a few weeks away from game and maybe a bit too much to drink as my really bad typing proves at the end (Hell's Ponies is lance Alpha in this match).

Here at Hell's Ponies Merc Corp we realize that not every MechWarrior has been playing since the first wave of closed beta invites and we are willing to train new recruits who are willing to learn. We don't reject recruits just because they don't come to us fully trained, we are willing to take the time to turn a new recruit into a very effective pilot as long as that pilot is willing to learn from us.

The only "test" new members must pass is how well they fit in with our corp during the recruiting period. We play to win and we accept that individual performance is also very important to some players as well as teamwork. We like to see our pilots topping the post-match scoreboards and a little competition between team members is ok with us. Teamwork is very important to us but it's ok to show off by scoring all 8 kills if our team still gets the win.


Our schedule is generally a bit later than the typical US based merc corp since we generally see the most activity during US West coast peak times.

Keep in mind we are a pony corp so those who like ponies will fit in a bit better but it's not required to like ponies as long as you don't hate them.

That was a fun drop we had in that video, even though I still haven't gotten this jumping PPC sniper act down yet.

Looking forward to doing more drops with Hell's Ponies in the future!

This shouldn't be too much of a problem if relations end up being friendly between our corps.

I'm glad you enjoyed your last filmed drop as a part of Hell's Ponies before leaving to start your own corp. Anyway, keep in touch, it may be useful to both of our corps to maintain friendly relations once CW goes active.



Update 07/19/13 - Hell's Ponies Merc Corp has officially ended operations. Any inactive members can send a PM to Zylo for more information.


While closing down Hell's Ponies was a difficult decision I have rejoined my old Corp Eridani Light Pony. ELP is a great group and I encourage anyone looking for a pony group to consider looking at ELP.
