I didn't bother with the YLW (not the biggest fan of Cents anyway).
I have acquired an Ilya though, and it's great fun.
Trip LBX10 on mine - what flavour is yours Thraka?

I'm excited. Finally getting one of the Ghost Bear dynamic duo, plus my favorite BT heavy mech. Gonna be a busy Tuesday.

I intend to get every mech I have in game in my TT collection.
Fortunately, I already have a Cauldron Born.

I'm looking forward to this one.

Running mostly stock. Grabbed Endo and upped the one small laser to a medium. Also added a little ammo

So, I was wondering what ya'lls best match ever has been. Mine was a Skirmish where I scored 5 kills, 4 assists and 858 DMG.

My build was a std 300 BLR3-M with 6 Med Pulse and 2 Large Pulse. The larges were in the arms.

Runner up was a skirmish the STK-4N with LRM45 and 6 Medium Lasers. I got 11 assists, 1 kill and 78(something) for DMG

Got 850 odd damage and 6 kills in my Locust 1E - got cocky and killed trying for the 7th 6 Med Lasers, XL engine, AMS, max armour and that's about it. Usually do well in it.

On the other hand had plenty of games where got slaughtered pretty quickly in loads of mechs..............

So far my best has been 900 damage with 7 kills and 5 assists in one of my Novas with 3 MGs 1 LBX 5 and 6 small lasers.

My best has been around 900something damage, haven't broke 1k yet. (generally, I average 2-400, and max at 700ish)

Best ever is 5 or 6 kills (not the high damage game - average 1-3).

Broke 1000 damage a couple of weeks back in my King Crab. Think I got 5 or 6 kills. 2x ER Large Laser and 2x AC20.

Mine was when I got "Philanthropist" in my Raven 3L.
Only did about 200-225 damage but I tagged every damn mech on the other side before getting popped by an alpha strike from an Atlas.

Love my 3L - one of my first 'Mechs.

Bit sad that Beagle Active Probe does not seem to be worth loading up with?

Idk.. I run with the Beagle. It does help with targeting for the Missle Boats. I like it better than Tag or NARC.

I tend to run with TAG as its more useful against enemy ECM mechs and for missile locks - BAP used to be pretty good at the former but seldom seem to get it to work now.

BAP is very useful, cutting through ECM (for your own locks), allowing for counter-ECM, allowing for faster Target Info Gathering, so you can see their soft spots, and allowing you to see / target shut down mechs within range.

TAG is also good, but generally, I'll take BAP first, as energy hard points are generally precious.

Plus Tag makes you vulnerable to counter attack since you have to keep it on target. BAP allows you to gain target acquisition through terrain.

I did use to put it on my Assaults - gave a few people a surprise

It was always on my Raven 3L but now I have swapped for a SRM2 - Maybe I am playing it wrong but used to get lots of jamming and increasingly it seemed not to work even when quite close - the range went right down right? I have radar dep and advanced sensors on the 3l as well

Yeah TAG is a two way street but it does help bring in the C-Bills - bit low at the moment - I was down to 5000 earlier on today! I wish they would do a range module for TAG

NARC I never really got on with.

Bought Quarantine last night and have been fiddling around with builds. So far my favorite has been 2 ERLL with a cooldown mod and 2 SRM6s with artemis. Also bought the Wolverine 6K and 6R while they are half of cbills. Wolverines are fun mechs and are giving my Blackjacks and Enforcers a well needed rest.

I bought the TDR-5SS. I'm planning to buy the TDR-9SE later.

After that I'm going to save ALL my C-bills for when the Mauler comes out

The nest 2 clan mechs come out this week. Looking pretty sick.
I can't wait to blow them up.

But the Cheetah is so adorable! You can't destroy it!

Bought the ECM Griffin the other night and quite enjoying and certainly enjoying the upgrade to my dual UAC5 Timber Wolf !

EU servers! Yay for the brits!

And a nice new event to go with it! Good stuff.

I also not only played, but recorded the best game I've ever seen. Not just by my standards, I've never seen another player preform as good as I did in this battle. I'll try to get it up on youtube in a day or so.

I got 2 Kill assists, 9 kills and over 1100 DMG done. It was glorious (6Larges Stalker 4-N)

9 kills with only 1100 damage scored seems to suggest you got a lot of beaten up mechs in your sights to finish off

But good for you, I've certainly never got 9 kills. I think my best is 5 or 6.

They certainly weren't all Solo kills in the rewards section. But I can across alot of crit CTs

Nice job Overlord! I pulled 700-800 damage twice the other day. Once in my Loup De Guerre with 4 LRM 5s (I hate that build but its soooo fun!) and once in my Dragon Fang with an AC10 and 3 MPLs.

I've pulled 700-800 DMG about 8-9 times. Always in assault mechs.

Yeah, I normally only get 300 to 400 damage but the fun rare occasion I get in the 800s. I usually get it in my Storm Crow or my Nova but every once in a while I do it in some IS mechs.

LESS THAN A MONTH!!!one!!1!!1one!!
