I fire up this song for my first match in any game where I am piloting something.

Yep, I agree with the pull the beams up but when you have me sitting on the ledge at river city and firing down into the city with dual gauss and a commando runs IN FRONT of me, then ya he gets a round in the back. Funny thing was he turned and fired at me like it was my fault.

Oh and another thing, stop standing behind mechs in combat, I often will backup around a corner to avoid fire and it gets irritating when I get stuck and then blasted.

Last thing , they need to fix clipping before they enable the FF penalty. You can fire, not see the friendly and take off an arm because they partially clipped through them or they you.

I will agree with the "backing up" deal. I am not a shield, I am trying to get the hell out after putting down as much fire as possible and my desire to hang about has faded. Having someone "hold" me in place from behind is not good, at all...

Accidents do happen. Just the other day I accidentally hit my LMB when I was trying for the center scroll button. Raked a teammate like a rookie newb. He turned, I bowed and quickly typed in a "sorry" msg. We carried on.

Now, on launch, on principle, I exit the square before doing anything. I haven't clicked in error, in the Base square, since...

I run an AC/20 K2 as one of my favorite chassis, I've had a number of TK's because someone walked right in front as i hit the button, and bam teammate drops. I do my best to try and avoid it, even to the point of not taking a shot i probably should have, but oh well. I apologize and get on with the match, it's all you can really do.

The issue is, why does the second shot go straight through the mech? it should still hit the mech and do additional damage to the internals.

This makes sense. I thought the wreck would provide an obstacle for fire.

I had a great one last night. Was in a hunchie (grinding xp) and had decided to try some erlarge lasers for sniping. Was on a little perch for the first few minutes of the fight before I engaged and was taking several shots at the enemy when a cataphract climbs up and stops right in front of me and starts sniping completely blocking me.
I told him in chat that it was a good perch and I was already there and that I was going to continue taking my shots, if you happen to be in the way of them I am truly sorry but thems the breaks.
After 3 salvos to the back he decided to move.
