It has always been self defense.

"This weekend you can win a free unreleased Phoenix Mech! Win 5 matches anytime between April 18 at 10am PDT and April 22 at 10am PDT, and get the Thunderbolt TDR-9S with a MechBay for Free!"

As far as I can tell, the 9S is completely unavailable right now.
Not included in the last set of new mechs, and not available for MC or C-Bills yet.

Oh wow, I went to the "official" MWO subreddit to have a gander after hearing rumours of "Negativity".

My god, negativity doesn't do it justice. It's a pure hate fuelled circle jerk.

Yeah.
Some things are justified in their irritation / annoyance, but so much is just OTT nerd rage, with every little thing setting them off.

- 1 match away from my free Thunderbolt!
Got.

So I'm brand new to MWO and looking at the mechs, I can't see one that can be purchased for C-Bills
I also have played several games, and have yet to survive longer than 4 minutes. Given my skill at MW4 I expected more from myself...

You're probably not looking at purchasable then. it's in the top left of your mechbay.

Also, Hunback 4SP is one of the best starter mechs if you're looking to buy one.

On another note. UAV's print experience, that is all.

First: Check out the new player help and guides section of the MWOMercs forum.

Second: Go to Mechlab, select Purchasable for mechs to buy.

Third: MW4 wasn't an especially amazing or balanced game, plus the learning curve for MWO is pretty steep.

Fifth: Win 5 matches this weekend for a free Thunderbolt!
Switch it out to max Medium Lasers, twin Machine Guns, max armour, and an LRM with twin AMS and go nuts!

Pulse anything just isn't worth it imo.

Regular Large Lasers have better range, generate less heat and have a better overall sustained DPS.

I keep meaning to try 1-2 Large Lasers on my Thunderbolt though, but I've been having such great fun (and success) brawling with 6 ML, 2MG and an LRM15 (I think with a STD300 in there), that I haven't bothered yet. xD

Especially being I normally run support mechs, it's a pleasant change - up to 13 mechs now!

How often have you used LPL's? I know that on paper they look bad. But in practice, they are my best weapon.

+1.6 damage, +1 Heat, -100/-200M range, +2T, +150k seems... 'ok' on paper, but my experience with MPLs was terrible , far less accurate and less damage for me, and I sold the MPLs I had, so didn't want to bother spending precious C-Bills on LPLs to try.

But then, each to their own isn't it.
Do need to get some LLs though!

Precious C-bills? I made 15m today.

I have no premium time, hero mechs or assaults, and I put little realworld money in, so it only goes on vitals, like Mech Bays (and 4 half-price paints).

Plus, running mostly lights / supports I feel good when I break 100K a match.

Throw in I only get 1-2 hours to play it a day and C-Bills are precious.

For example, 15,000,000C-Bills pugging will likely take me 190-200 matches, which is about 30-32 hours of playtime.

Not everyone has 12-14 hours to play with their stompy robots sadly.

My fiancee demands my attention for example. xD
But hey, ho.

Almost mastered my Locusts, Spiders and Catapults though!

Dunno where to go after that...
Whether to get and Master Ravens, or save for an Assault? (Prolly and Atlas)

Well I don't think I'll playing a whole lot of Mechwarrior online. Personally, despite my love of MW4 I still prefer playing Torchight and and League over MWO. Thanks for the help though guys!

Oh, it's not always fun...
'Tidy the kitchen'
'Do the bins'
'Sort this'

Think I might go for an Atlas.
According to my handy dandy chart, that says it'll be a 150 game journey to get a D-DC!

That amusingly enough is my next target, a D-DC.

Just played a game as the Ilya with 3 ultra AC5. Over 500 damage, 5 kills and 6 assists, and not only that I survived the match (a first!), I like this mech.

Just a heads up for you guys, Atlas' aren't easy to use. They are considered one of the harder assaults to do right because they are such a huge target and sluggish as hell.

Something like this is pretty much the norm.

Though this is what I would do with it.

Out of all the trial Assaults I have tried, the Atlas (and to some degree the Stalker... but not really) is the only one I've really got on with.

Sporting my highest K/D ratio, and one of my higher W/L ratios.

So I may go for an AS7-RS first to be honest, as it'll start with 11,000 experience, then earn a D-DC off that, I'm a little undecided there, but I have at least 1-200 matches before I have to decide really.
