I still think we should just mix the l1s, l2s, and clanners freely....we are an undisciplined horde after all.

Fire Fire Fire...... O yeah, I will take the Level 2 Firestarter also. BAP, not worth a damn in convnetional rules, but still has one. Let me find some infantry..... or blazing hot mech and lt will have it. O just do not tell me no collateral damage, sorry a city is just a funeral pyre for idiots.
Cla.. La... Cln.... Sorry can not even say that word. But if I have to drive something from that in bred group, Vulture. SRM Packing verison. O yeah Baby enough SRMs in the air to overwealm any AMS or fire control systm. Or a Thor, good mech.
AWAD- OK I am overdoing it, but I have used Firestarters and PC and GM to the fullest extent

Well, mud, could you initiate it - a fourth unit, the "True Horde"? Or, you could take over the 3062 unit!
But, originally, I wanted to get ideas about how a 3025 unit would look like, and then a Clan unit. The two systems that I use. So yeah, it was selfish at first. Or just truly interested. That it evolved the way it has was very unexpected!
So yeah, I can add the Locust-1V to the roster for you (or don't you want the -1L, the same design just with 3* Myomers?). But please, PLEASE choose a Clan 'mech. I saw you use that Fire Falcon A in that honour battle.
AWAD - I'll add your choices. Heck, I like them a lot. The Mad Dog A is one of the most effective AND efficient Clan designs of all time!!

hhhhmmmm....
In a 3025 type setting, I was quite fond of the enforcer. Whenever possible, it was modified a bit by replacing the AC/10 with a PPC and additional HeatSinks for a maximum of 18. The small laser was also removed for half ton more armor. I believe I designated it an "ENF-1AD."
For 3050+ I used a modified Raptor omnimech. I just added a half ton armor, and used the remaining 11 tons pod space for 3 additional DHS and 8 medium lasers. I don't remember when i first used it but it became a personnel favorite due to lucky rolls whenever I used the design. My best example was during a three way lance battle with my friends. After a long match, one of my friends were eliminated, my other friend had a Mint condition Gladiator, and I had a slightly damaged Raptor. I figured go out in the blaze of glory so I charged the Gladiator and hit him with twin critical hits! Both were lucky gyro shots too! My friend cursed me and my lucky Raptor, which I named "Bunny."
For clan, I would have to choose the Stooping Hawk. I loved to use any of it's configurations besides the primary. Mech was chosen obviously because I'm a Blood Spirit. I usually do really well with this mech but I often become way to overconfident and so I'm usually captured and made into a clan bondsmen anyway.
3025=Enforcer, 3050+ =Raptor, Clan = Stooping Hawk.

Hey Khayman! Great to see you finally posting on the boards!
I've read many a review by you and was thinking: "Who is that guy?"
Welcome, both to the boards and the Horde!
Please specify which configuration of the Stooping Hawk you would prefer!

Thanx for the friendly welcome! Glad you read my reviews but the "Who is this guy" scares me a bit lol. Good or bad things?
Anyway, any configuration would be find with me as long as it's not the Primary configuration. Choose whatever configuration that's needed to fill in a spot on the lance rosters. If you really want me to decide on one, then I guess, it would have to be the Stooping Hawk C. I just gotta have jump if I don't have speed, the lasers provide a decent punch I think, plus the Targeting Computer helps me out a bunch as well.

Ah, sorry, should've made it clear: I enjoyed your reviews. And you don't have the nasty habit of canning designs that I like a lot *cough*darkadder*cough*! 
I was just puzzled that you've submitted such a lot of reviews, but never made an appearance on the message board. So, again: Welcome!

The weird thing is I usually rate about evenly with DarkAdder, yet you only gun for him. So I wonder if you dislike his clan that much.
But yeah, posting here is healthy and is proven to lower your colestoral, and increase your blood pressure.

Perhaps it is just the phrasing. I have noticed several reviews that I would have scoredthe same but for different reasons. That is why people are encouraged to review them. If one person cans a mech and 20 people like it then the one bad review is overruled (mostly). Although I have been the only person to give some mechs a decent rating.

Slight correction. I meant star mates instead of lance mates for my Stooping Hawk. I also agree with what you said about canning a mech design. My 'Pride' mech was given a .5 supposedly because of bad fluff... I hope that someone will one day even out his vote. *wink wink* My poor 80 ton baby....

I feel for you. I've gotten some rotten reviews for some of my designs as well, usually because I (GASP) mounnt an XL engine, or make a mistake on the design date. The latter has given my Dragon a horrible set of reviews.

Been there, sometimes people seem to review a mech without actually trying it. I at least try a few MM games with 'em, Customs at least. Some canon 'mechs I review w/out trying em simply because they are obvious. To me aat any rate.

Now I'm gonna have to go review it
Hehehe, I've gotten both good and bad reviews. With bad reviews that include suggestions I try implementing them and then see what the new mech gets.

I'm the opposite - custom 'mechs, well they are experimental, kinda on the drawing board, right? So it is ok to write down an impression, to go on the fluff, don't you think?
But to be fair - if I give a custom 'mech poor marks, I try to justify it. And I try not to be nitpicky.
Yeah, with DarkAdder I had the personal problem that there were a couple of reviews to which I took exception - either because I thought they were flawed in reasoning or, in one case (Summoner Prime) because I took it personal! Hehehehe, all in good spirit, I hope. It just fits that he is a Star Adder! 
Oh, and with canon 'mechs, I will only give reviews if I have had some sort of experience with it. OR - if I have given the design a good bit of thought, without using it. Example: my review for the Orion-V, in TRO:3025. I gave that a very low mark, because I felt the fluff warranted that! I mean, it is really meant to be an inoperable prototype, so why even consider it to be valid? That sort of thing.....
I love the fluff of most things lvl1 to absolute bits, it will influence my reviews. And I stand by that!
