This got me to the end of beacon captures for the Stalker... and was so much fun!  I'm curious... what's your best beacon-capping haul, and what's the all-time Beacon-Capping record? (next up... win 3x9 matches, sigh, back to the regular hangar!)  |

Clearly you're pretty decent using Stalker, so I'm curious what your win% was while it was in your hangar? ...I'm wondering whether continuing to use Stalker would actually be the best choice to help you get all those wins faster... |

I got seven, but I can't find the screenshot. You just have to believe me...

Got you beat by one. 13 was my all time best. I chased down a stalker in Power plant and kept flipping the beacons he was flipping.

My highest Beacon count is 6 ..
Vityaz: 5
Patton: 4
Rogatka: 4
Griffin: 3
The "6" was in combination with the Patton and Vityaz.

I don't have a Stalker... yet.  This was two Cossacks (with ECU's), a Gareth, a Gepard and a Carnage. I didn't keep track of the win rate, but I think it was around 50%. I remember getting quite a few hauls of 7 gold, which were wins. You make a good point, though... I'll probably win just as many with my "main" hangar as with the capping-hangar! I'm not sure if that's just down to the match-maker though... |

I have gotten 13 once on the moon map. Cool. :-) ... this was the Moon Map too. Oddly enough, I got just 2 playing it earlier... I didn't screenshot that one. |

I got 14 on the beacon-capper's-delight that is the Moon map. A losing effort and I'm not normally such a selfish teammate, but the event tasks are making me singleminded at times.  |

18 is my best. My most recent best was easily on pace to beat 18 but decided to go for some damage midway through battle  |

Yeah, what weird is, I bet your win rate is better when you focus so hard on capping beacons, because it's such an important victory condition. Unfortunately, because winning and climbing is NOT incentivized nearly as much as damage is, no one bothers to experiment. They don't try to win. They pound Lance/Fury to maximize damage, so that just in case their team happens to win, they get the Au rewards... It's so sad... because it crushes all freedom for the meta to naturally evolve... |

18 is my best. My most recent best was easily on pace to beat 18 but decided to go for some damage midway through battle I signed up just to ask if anyone knows what bots and weapons are used to achieve these type of stats? I want the same beast mode set up! Scary wondering how much damage he/she can do if driven for damage only.... |

I realized that when I packed my hanger with cappers that my win rate went up and when I packed it for damage it went down. So now I run almost all cappers (Rog, Stalker, Carnage, Gareth, Galahad). It has the side benefit of being a lot more fun play style to me. |

12 is my max. I posted it here on the forum a month or so ago.

had one game yesterday against Dark Angel. We left each other alone most of the game and killed each others team, I ran around capping beacons while Dark was turning em white. I was actually quite funny. I got 11.  |

IIRC... 7 is the highest number of beacons I've capped in a battle (during an event task, of course). The main reason I don't cap more beacons is because I don't like to stray away from my teammates unless they're idiots who are just trying to kill the red team (this is what most of my Springfield teams do... ignore every beacon except the center beacon). ~50% of the time... I'm trying to capture all 5 beacons.

10 for me, in a Taran-Rogatka on the moon map. I posted it elsewhere not too long ago. Hell of a match, that one.

I got 11 during the event but that was me and a red stalker helping each other out. Would have been a lot higher if I hadn't had to spend 2 mins stopping a Blue from attacking my little red mate!

7 was the highest I got but someone else got 8 that game so no MOC. I managed to destroy 12 bots that game though and top scored. It was on power plant.  |
