My morning crew usually consists of.
Ollie. See him the most and squad up time to time. It’s super fun when we have dual Loki’s running amuck.
BB. See him every now and again. When we squad, you know there be tons of bacon eating.
Watcher and Terflx back when they played too.

I just figured you stocked up just in case we extend No$March to No$ummer. That’s where I’m headed with the last couple of days hitting heavy clan, CAREER HACKERS. Same players showcasing that if you spend enough, Pix will look the other way when you add hacks to your OP meta hangar. Not to name shame, but they are a bunch of K-holes. |

So... Ran the hangar above this morning, Springfield, Shooty Skyros to CB, had a little help, looking good, now off to the farm to steal a red beacon. Blues doing a good job, I'm now just kind of a free safety between CB and farm. I eventually die on Farm because blues sent 3 to 4 guys. OK, if you want it that bad... Here! I didn't want it anyway. This is the funny bit: Second drop Loki, straight to CB, the FOUR guys couldn't do jack as I held down CB. FT-quick-W. They musta been pissed. BUT!I definitely need to reevaluate my life bot choices. This hangar is great for weekday mornings not so much for evenings and weekends. Especially against cheaters. For example I was playing with Adazahi on Rome and while I solidly had a healthy ball on the red home beacon and it was Blue it changed to red, magically, while I was on it. And by on it I mean I was IN the structure not on the periphery where I might have stepped out. So, sigh, I'm back to running the hated Angler by default. Boooring. |

I'm thinking that the only way the MM is going to reduce your win rate to 50% is by teaming you up with Blues that statistically NEVER CAP BEACONS. That way, even your valiantly held centre beacon wouldn't be enough for your team to win. Surprised they haven't thought of it.

My Morning Crew has been tweaked to run:
2 x Balls (Suppression Guy is first drop, Theseus is for later against Titans.
Loki
Seraph
Angler
Oddly enough my clan has come full circle and wants me running beacons in the evenings again. So it's my Evening crew as well.

It’s a beacon game, STRONG ditto In expert now, crack free and happy ever since i picked up my 2nd rog, i have never had less than 2 full time. i have 4 at 12/1 and deccided NOT to get a 5th as I have to have a place to park a hover, which is the other full time bot i run so when its flying circus time its technically a 5 1/4 rog hangar so to speak weaponwise if i did my math right. the only reason i mention it here is that it was You, Sir Breakfast, that opened my eyes to the potential deadliness of the humble Rogotka, a robot that i had dismissed for nearly 5 years of gameplay. Taking it to the whales now and then in vintage Walking War Robots hardware has kept the game not only playable, but enjoyable. For That, I Thank You. |

Morning Crew update. (Enough time has gone by, why not.)
Loki, 2 x Skyros, Fafnir, Angler, Aether
Often drop in this order: Loki, Skyros/Brawler, Fafnir, Aether, Skyros/Theseus, Angler
Had a great match at Valley this AM: Took center, red left their lower Home open ao I took that and just held it for the rest of the game. I'm not convinced that Blues really appreciate my play style. Yes, my damage output can be the worst but I can take and hold a Blue home beacon for the whole match. Priceless. Anywho...
Edit: Oh yeah, Fafnir. WTH not? Every now and then it gets some good licks in. The other day I (maybe we) melted a Rook VERY quickly. He tried to blast me while I had the Retaliation shield up. Oops.

My stance is that if you can tie up multiple mechs for lengthy periods of time causing chaos (capturing beacons you've stolen and/or hunting you) then that's a bit of a force multiplier. It is immaterial if it's only one person doing so, it has to be more than one. That allows Blue to outnumber Reds on the field.
I agree that a lot of people don't appreciate that approach. My conscience is clear, though.

I agree that a lot of people don't appreciate that approach. My conscience is clear, though.
My conscience also remains unfettered. Tying up the Reds as a lost art. Stealing bacon and holding off 2-3 to 4 reds for a minute or two is almost impossible without Skyros. I can still do it in a MK1.12 Khepri w Q Radar for the inevitable attacks from Lynx and Angler, and it takes skill and timing. The best part as a random? It’s looking around and seeing, or dying and figuring out that your fellow blues accomplished absolutely nothing during your glorious face smashing, no kill, Blast-a-Thon. it used to all be Top Down pressure, but with the lovely introduction of $5 MK2 bot/weap combos it has increased the pressure from the Bottom Up. It’s astounding to me, even after a year or two of this giveaway/instead of grinding model, how many people have moved into Expert, even low Masters, with zero understanding of beacons or game modes….. And now? Time to check the progress on a brisket, and just like my refusal to play MK2 anything, I use wood and fire just like the olden days. There will be no Walking War Pellet Girls in this house… Toodles |

Kills? There’s a stat for that? BB The morning crew is still gettin’ it done. 3 x Skyros, a Loki, and a Fafnir for style points. And a Rook but I don’t rely on it to save the game.  |

3 x Skyros (1 x Robert, 2 x Theseus)
1 Loki (Trixie)
1 Mender (Marie, of course.)
A game this morning on Dead City right after the v9.3 update. Blue was down an entire player. As in 0,0,0 scores. The match was kinda fair. Blue had a RINO guy, Red had two HOOD guys. I scored 5th, duh, around 2 million, 0 kills 6 beacons. For the win. :-)
The beacon holding "thing" was pretty effective. I put a late game Skyros on their backmost beacon and then spammed green healing crack every chance I could. It wasn't a key play but it distracted enough reds to give us a 4-1 beacon count that then sealed their fate. The RINO guy was first, did well, around 5 million, 7 kills, 8 beacons. (I suspect he spent very little time on his beacons though.)

Late in the game I saw it was you, “Oh hello, we meet again, Mr. Tomasi.” I missed chatting to you post game because I was checking your hangar and stats. Did you, ahem, know that you have 40+k kills? OM-to-the-FG! Wow, veteran much? |
