Anyone up for an SG MechWarrior Online group? (group formed!)

The SteamGifts MechWarrior Online group is now all systems nominal. No skill needed, just the ability to have fun.

Yeah, yeah, I know that PGI are busy running it into the bloody ground but there's still some life in it and it's just "launched" so I figure why not now? I know there's a few fellow BT/MW fans on these forums (shout out to Koryitsu who even mailed me a copy of MechWarrior 2 last year <3).

Anyone up for a little Steamgifts grouping? Just post your ingame name (thejadefalcon for me, naturally. Did you freebirths expect anything else?), preferred tonnage class (light) and your timezone (UTC/GMT for me).

If you're a newbie, don't worry, we'll set you right up with tips on how to play, good mech loadouts, all the things. If you already have a few mechs set up, why don't you post a couple of your favourites, let us see what you pilot, get a feel for your playstyle.

Jenner JR7-D(S): No real change to the stock mech. Pretty effective as is. Dumped some SSRM ammo for jumpjets, making me more mobile.

Jenner JR7-K: Been playing with the missles on this. Had LRM-5s instead, but when they were useful, they were REALLY useful. When they weren't, there were an absolute waste and made me focus too much on my heat to avoid an ammo explosion. Swapped them out for SRMs, promptly did 100 points more damage on average, took out a Cataphract with a single close-range volley and won the next five matches.

Jenner JR7-F: About the same as the D(S) but without the missiles, replacing them with an anti-missile system. Makes dodging LRMs a breeze and gives cover to any assaults I happen to be sitting by.

Blackjack BJ-1: Just bought this, so still playing around with it. Swapped out the AC/2s for AC/5s and 120 rounds, dropping the jets and the arm lasers.

Yep. I'm the guy nipping at your heels and pissing you off all the time. My bad. <3 I was planning on getting an Atlas soon, make a real brawler, but it's pretty expensive to grind to it, especially without premium time, so I might just buy a Catapult-A1 soon, model it after the Catapult-A1(C).

So, any interest in a SG MWO group/clan? It'll be at least a little fun, I guarantee it.
