So when you get decals can you use them over and over on all your mechs or are they one shot things, also can I write "gently caress U" on the front of my Atlas with out PGI making me change it?

over and over, and their obscene detail detection seems subpar, though you might eat a temp ban.

Every day I see an increase in the number of Mist Lynx machine gun boats. I predict that in just a few days, all mechs will be Mist Lynxes with 8 MGs.

It's fun being an urbie and fighting those mist lynx MG boats too. They can run around all they like but you have superior geometry and a 360 cockpit :v:

Too big, too slow, and too hot. On top of that, it's got low mounts, mediocre geometry, and terrible convergence. Stick to the Scorch and MCII-B If you wanna brawl in a Clan assault.

HGN-IIC isnt a bad mech, it can just never get in a fight. if you wanna sit back and sling lrms and gauss and large lasers, it's great. but pretty much anything closes on you and you're dead

e: my hgn-iic currently holds my record for most damage dealt in a single qp match at about 2400. but that was just sitting back slinging out 1600lrm, 30 gauss, and uncountable dual LPL.

Find a mech that has enough flat space for all of that only with the "Hi There!" decal above the "gently caress U" instead of the trucker balls underneath.

Basically this can be said for every single clan mech. It's great until people get into range of you, then you instantly die because all can mechs are made of center torsos and wet toilet paper. Twist 90 degrees and still get shot in the CT. Well at least thats how the Ebon Jag is.

And before any of you cocksmokers start talking poo poo, I know how to twist now, so gently caress you.

In other news, colours are on sale today. I've grabbed some essentials to fill out the gaps in my collection, but are there any special colours I should grab too? I saw something about certain colours shining in certain maps/lights, does anyone know which ones they are?

You'll want all the colors that "shine" on certain maps, for example mining colony. The ones I know about are:
Cadmium (red)
HotRod Bright Red
Moegi (green)
FRR Pure Orange
Titanium White
Jade Falcon Gold

Then there are the pink colors, Marik Violet is the most well know but I find it a bit washed out. Punk Purple is much more pink when placed on the mech I find.

For the decals all you need is the broken heart, place it upside down on your rear end and you got yourself a pair of Truck Nutz.

Getting good use out of those minimum purchase pre-order bonuses for the javelin - which were the only reason I bought that otherwise garbage mech that I've never used once.

Torso twisting only really helps when you're in a mech with shield arms *taps side of nose*

There's a reason the Griffins or Centurions are excellent for rolling damage in the hands of an experienced user.

Cauldron Born and Mad Cats have zero ability to deflect hits onto their arms and anyone who can aim just shoots their nose anyway since good luck hiding that thing from any angle.

Geometry is king.

Oh yeah - from the clan collection the Arctic Cheetahs, Shadowcats and Night Gyrs have excellent geometry for torso twisting love. Plus Night Gyrs have a good chance of winning staring competitions in their weight class.

Sometimes a little wiggle if you're in a pointy-nose mech can make a bit of difference. Not everybody stays locked to torso as it moves, so at least you can spread SOME damage.

FP with pubbies is frustrating. Like pubs are usually bad in quick play to but it's short and the badness isn't just contained to your team. In FP when everyone dies horribly on their first drop you know the game is over but it still drags on for another 20 drat minutes. 100 ton LRM boats, teammates who have no drops left while everyone else is just dropping their second mech, IS mechs long distance trading with clan mechs, playing against actual organized units. It sucks.

The first kill I got using the not-Gameboy war horn managed to sufficiently annoy a team mate that they asked what the hell that racket was.

Anyone who hasn't unlocked the current event warhorn rewards needs to jump on that. Immediately if not sooner.

They're doing another 24 hour sale. Most of it is for poo poo. Champion robots are poo, and buying CBills for MC is stoopid dumb. There is a slightly better than average deal for purchasing MC I guess.

The main reason to care is that mech bays are 50% off. That is a good thing to spend robot monies on.
