Are you still recruiting pilots?

Edit: I recall there was a previous megamek lp, and I was assigned to a Toro. Did that thread die?

We have three open pilots right now. I don't have you on my list and I don't remember a Toro, so I think that was a different one. Your options are:

Pvt. Gwenael Hernandez - Phoenix Hawk PXH-1K: a relative rookie, currently assigned to Drake's Destroyers
Pvt. Kevin Stirzacre - Wasp WSP-1A: a veteran held in reserve, but we'd aim to find him a better mech and get him into one of the fighting lances if you pick him
Rec. Simona - Ryoken/Stormcrow B (missing lasers): an elite Clanner driving a Clan mech.

Thats quite generous of you.

If its okay with everyone else I would like to take Kevin. Would Blinky be a good callsign?

Edit: Out of curiosity, what mechs are available?

Yeah, I ran out of steam on that game - I needed to have mapped out more plot points for an overarching storyline then I did.

I really like Blinky, for sure. :D

We picked up Kevin in this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=167593.msg7730692;topicseen#msg7730692) as a FRR survivor having lost his original mech and seeing that the O.B. were pretty OP.

Wonder if anyone gets the reference.

Generosity has nothing to do with it. We're on a first-come first-serve basis here.

Blinky is driving a Wasp right now, not assigned to any lance. We have a Phoenix Hawk mothballed in cargo, and an Ostroc and Rifleman are available on the market this month. He's a 4+ pilot and a 2+ gunner, with the Hot Dog and Gunnery Specialization (Energy) abilities. (Hot Dog allows him to reduce the difficulty of some heat-related rolls, while Gunnery Specialization means he attacks with energy weapons at a bonus of 1 and all other kinds of weapons at a penalty of 1.)

Ostroc wouldn't be terrible for him given his energy specialization. Same for the Phoenix Hawk (assuming standard armament on both, of course).

Ostroc sounds like its the best option.

How long are you going to do this campaign for?

If the company's cool with buying something new, then buy something new we shall.

I don't quite know how long I plan on doing this. I don't really have an ending in mind. Maybe the FedCom Civil War? That's still about fifteen game years away. Drake will be closing in on 60.

If the company doesn't want to buy anything, I can just chill at base. Should I cook some tacos? or maybe pierogi?

I don’t mind if we pick up the Ostroc, it’s a solid heavy design.

Ostroc's fine. Maybe do a "quick" update to a 2D (and add Case if you can find half a ton somewhere).

Assuming we've still got something in the bank after buying it, an Ostroc sounds fine.

We have 42 million C-bills. I think we can afford it, no sweat.

Mind if I snag Hernandez? After his performance in that sim, I'd like to dub him Kicks on account of that drive-by Puma punting.
