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

I've played MW4: Vengeance and MW4: Mercenaries and I've no idea what you're talking about...Is that bad? D:

Actually, MWO is meant to be in the middle of the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere right now. Their 1:1 timeline got massively screwed up. It's currently 3050, making the Timber Wolf 55 years old. It was the first mech Inner Sphere forces encountered.

Daishi = Dire Wolf.

Every clan mech has 2 names. The names the people who piloted them used, and the names the people who fought against them used.

Its not like they got together to say "Hey, when you're alphaing this mech we made, you have to refer to it by its PROPER name."

Most of the names the Inner Sphere uses are made up on the spot by the pilots encountering them. Even then, its usually a mashup of other names. For instance the Mad Cat (Timberwolf). To the Inner Sphere (or Phelan Kell, who first encountered them) it looked like some crazy mashup of a CATapult with MArauDer arms. Hence, "Mad Cat". No one else knew wtf to call it. The clans had already named it long ago. They called it the Timberwolf.

"Vaguely resembling a cross-over between the MAD (Marauder) and CAT (Catapult) series, the Timber Wolf was tagged with the Inner Sphere reporting name Mad Cat on first contact. (The targeting computer on Phelan Kell's Wolfhound switched between MAD and CAT when trying to identify it; Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht later officially designated it "Mad Cat"."

The Timber Wolf is vastly more powerful than either the Marauder or the Catapult. It uses its speed and firepower to engage an enemy at the range of its choosing. When first encountered by Inner Sphere forces the idea that a heavy 'Mech could move so swiftly while being as heavily armed and armored as the Timber Wolf was inconceivable. With its twelve tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor and arsenal that rivaled that of most assault 'Mechs of the era, it was completely alien to Inner Sphere military planners, commanders, and even the Precentor Martial of ComStar. Its technological secrets have since been reverse-engineered by the Inner Sphere.

First introduced in 2945, the Timber Wolf was designed by Clan Wolf as a second generation OmniMech along with the Gargoyle and the Naga to replace the aging Woodsman. While the Gargoyle may have been a very capable, fast assault OmniMech, and the Naga may have been an excellent fire-support OmniMech, Clan Wolf (and indeed every other Clan) instantly realized the value of the Timber Wolf; thus, production rights to the Timber Wolf were jealously (and successfully) defended. Only through trade, gifts and battlefield salvage has the Timber Wolf entered the armies of other Clans. Until the invasion of the Inner Sphere, production of the Timber Wolf has been limited to a single facility on Strana Mechty.

TL;DR, First madcat-timberwolf sighting by innersphere = 3049.

Current timeframe in game, Sept 30, 3050.

Ha, I never even thought about doing that with the engine. It would certainly save a whole lot of C-bills. It's a really great idea. Thanks for the tip!

As for the weapons, heatsinks, etc; Yea, I haven't been selling any parts at all. I figured that i would save 'em for another Mech, and also for playing around with loadouts. Seemed like a smart thing to do.

After getting all of the efficiencies for my Mech it's made it much quicker overall. I pretty much have to start getting used to it all over again, haha.

I.. don't understand your answer. I was asking how the game was in comparison to early beta.. lol

I liked it too. That two-story parking area is a good grinding place.

Define innocent.

:o
Haven't seen you on Steamgifts in a while.

I got a new PC 2/3 months ago, haven't installed all the games I wanted yet(including MW:O). But I heard thr game is still going backwards thanks to the devs. Makes me hesitate to actually redownload this game.
