    honestly that kodiak being a trial makes me even less inclined to log in for a while

    I prefer 4xUAC10 when I drive it but the 10/5 split is better for heat management which I assume they care about on trials

    I run the "champion" build for the heat management and being able to alpha every click is crazy over chain firing or double tapping with 4UAC10s.

    Oh holy shit

    The Nova Trial mech is the NVA-S(C)

    aka the one with triple AMS

    Hmm do you think laser AMS will have ghosts heat? If not it may be worth to have more then on on my black knight.

    To be honest, Russ' comment about cheapskates really turned me off from the game. I did end up reinstalling, but I haven't launched it since then. Been waiting for either the right Oosik Night theme or for you to finally break and install discord, whichever comes first.

    I'm not chasing the new shiny.

    If not MWO then lets make a MWLL night.

    Personally, I prefer either 4xUAC10s or 4xLB10Xes. Running a dual-UAC20 Mad-IIC helps with maintaining trigger discipline to avoid roasting your mech.

    Wait, so are or are not back. Gottit.
    The call of the Phoenix Hawk was too strong. Also probably didn't hurt to see that PGI delayed the launch of the new skill tree.

    I remember I tried running the trip-AMS Nova several months back (-S CT, -A side torsos). After piloting it once, I remembered why I don't pilot Novas anymore.

    So can I hype up the Oosik drop ship by suggesting a Thursday drop theme? I know we all did LRMs last time, maybe this time we could do Light wolf packs (with an assault mother to hide behind if need be). Or just straight up light wolf packs. Or to be safe (and fair) to the rest of our teammates perhaps medium wolf packs.

    Dunno, just trying to think of ideas to put some excitement back into this dull dropship of ours.

    Tbh anything under 50 tons is light enough to be a "light wolf pack" to me. Especially with weight restrictions.

    I'd probably still run a trial Griffin or a Linebacker anyway though :P

  • BetsuniBetsuni UM-R60L Talisker IVRegistered User regular
    Hmm. Maybe we should try to run all Heavies with at least one erppc on it as a theme. Or Gauss... That would be funny to see a lot of blue balls flying about (and fit our unit name).

    I was actually thinking about that this morning, and thought it would be fun to run Mediums Only. I say we do it up proper that way.

    These two are not mutually exclusive (aside from the heavy/medium bits). Mediums can totally mount ERPPCs or gauss and still be zippy. Blue balls and mediums sucka!

    "All mechs must have at least 1 ERPPC" could be fun.

    ...except that none of the new Trial mechs have any PPC at all, which sucks.

    Just tons and tons and tons of mostly medium lasers.

    Oh and they're keeping the LRM Stalker in rotation because fuck you, apparently? Like, of all the LRM boats to run, you run that one?

    Those are a little slow for a wolfpack. A Hunchback-IIC is getting closer, but it's still sub-100kph (even with tweak).

    Yeah I think in a medium you're better off going either or. Gauss is good, ERPPC is good, both? You lose speed, probably run hotter than you'd like, and don't have as much ammo as you'd like.

    If we're doing ERPPCs

    We should do a light ERPPC wolfpack.

    COM-2D ERPPC ECM 200XL

    UM-R63 2xERPPC 180XL 2xJJ

    PNT-10K(C) 2xERPPC 235XL 1xJJ

    RVN-3L(C) 2xERPPC 235XL ECM

    to show a few potentials.

    Could also toss in Phoenix Hawks in that list. But, I think the capstone should be: BuzzBuzz

    I remember running a Muromets with twin ER PPCs on it, in those halcyon days when PPC and gauss skipped hand in hand downrange together.

    Well, we did the PPC thing not too long ago, so it might be a little soon to come back around on it for MWO Oosik Theme Night.

    That said, I was reminded that I was planning to run a scenario in MegaMek this week, so any MWO shenanigans led by me will probably be pushed off a week.

    I'm also still thinking of getting a MWLL night/weekend evening thing together. I really need to get all that installed and poke around at it.

    The best thing about friends with ppcs is focusing fire and imagining the poor bastard on the other end's reaction to it all.

    I never like getting hit by those.
