    Running an Urbie and being top damage in a match that ended 11-12 for the enemy... that's a nice feeling.
    But the last enemy mech being a DDC with 86% on the damage and only two battered lights to face him... *sigh*

    Is there a filter for "owned cockpit items?"

    Because navigating the cockpit menu to find the right decorations is a HUGE pain.

    Supposedly I won a "Pop" cockpit item in a goodie bag, but I don't see anything labeled "Pop" in the list.

    If you're scrolling through the images, it is a large cup of soda.

    Aww, I was hoping for some kind of stylized soda bottle like nuka cola.

    At least it isn't coffee mug #478

    Its peanut butter jelly robot time! I'll be on vent and dropping until I get tired of doing it solo. Join me for many funtime robot shootings.

    Wish I could, but unfortunately work requires me to be at work and working. Slave drivers, all of them. Don't they understand that mechs don't shoot themselves.

    I see all these people posting about their awesome Ebon Jaguar funtimes, and I'm jealous.

    The couple of times I've tried to get into a match with one of mine, it's consisted of me sitting in the queue for 10 minutes until I get bored and switch to a different weight class.

    I love the EBJ. So far all the pilots using it that I've faced think they're smaller Timber Wolves. Then they are flabbergasted when their CT explodes because they are not, in fact, Timber Wolves.

    The EBJ is certainly squishier than the TBR. It's not, like, blink-at-it-and-it-explodes squishy, but it's definitely not on the Timber Wolf's level of tank-ability.

    It is tankier when the torso pods are populated as it makes a bigger target for the side torsos, but it can also be build as a sneaky hill humper without the torso pods.

    More squishy than a Timberwolf or Hellbringer, less squishy than a Mad Dog.

    According to a tweet from Russ, they are going to shrink the size of the mad dog so that it is more in line with mechs of its weight class.

    As a catapult fan, I feel slighted.

    Hahahaha holy shit, I used to think maybe the clan favoritism was overstated, but fixing the mad dog before the horde of IS mechs that desperately need re-sizing is insane. Do they not see it? I want to shake russ.

    It's a posture thing. They will lower it by a meter or so. I suppose the actual model itself isn't being resized . Poor choice of words on my part.

    Still, it is clam love while a founding mech is left out in the cold.

    I dream of a game where catapults are the same size as the EBJ instead of the Stalker. That'd be great.

    And that explains why I didn't see it, it's buried in a RT chain that Twitter apparently thinks isn't important enough to put in my feed. Geez, Twitter. How am I supposed to virtually stalk a celebrity/person-of-note if you don't surface every single post to me?

    I'm with you on the Catapult, when it's all said and done. I was working on a 'Pult miniature over the weekend, and even with it being one of the most habitually mis-sized 'Mechs in existence, the current Intro box fig is still clearly smaller than an Atlas. Whereas MWO's model has always been questionable in that regard.

    Otherwise, the Enforcer and Hunchback slots are also still open for the running! Though @Vanderbrent has put up a strong 95-point score for the AC/20 Hunchie.

    My notes from the PGI Beta Tournament have you in a JagerMech, but @StayFrosty00 already drove off with the battalion's lone rig.

    after about 15 seconds he just shot me.

    Early after open beta finished that happened to me once, but instead of not letting us move, he went forward while I was trying to go backwards and my internal CT spontaneously exploded, with everything else intact.
