My most recent one happened during this weekend's tournament. Another lurmageddon drop however it being highly pitched. I will spare you all the preceding swearing and tactical (mis)calculations typical to group queues.

So in the end minutes of the match a severely damaged Remarius (IFR) and a severely damage (burgundy CT) PyckenZot (SCR) are left to fight 4 remaining severely damaged enemies which we rather quickly reduce to 2 (a STK and AWS). Holding our ground the 2 assaults decide to move on us. Having previously made my position visible, the AWS moves aggressively around the corner behind which I am hiding only to take 18 SRMs in his open side torso destroying his XL engine. The STK meanwhile is pushing hard on Remarius, so I decide to distract him.

I alpha,...
Shut down,...
...
3 seconds later I blow up.

Rems kills the STK and we win the math.

Hilarious laughter over TeamSpeak,...

 

I thought you deliberately suicided.....

 

Impressive firepower though.

 

Taking the concept of the Glass Cannon really serious.

 

::headdesk::
So there I was. Launching in my AWS-9M. Sweet! So I get connected... and realized that I was excessively light on weaponry. Like, about half my armament was gone. Then it hit me, I stripped the ER PPCs off to share with my TDR-9S until I had enough c-bills for it to get its own (*just* bought a D-DC)... So, with my two ER Large Lasers I proceeded to... not do great. But I didn't die.

 

Probably because they deemed you not a threat worth shooting

 

I didn't read the patch notes when they grouped cERSLases and cERMLases together for ghost heat. So, of course, I turned my poor Nova prime into a crater. I can forgive myself that mistake once or twice, but not four times.

After that, I changed my build. Clearly, I lacked the self-control necessary to pilot a clan laser boat.

 

I'll raise you one. I apparently missed that particular patch note.

I was wondering why my Nova was running so frigging hot lately...

 

Ummh......

 

Derpy-twin powers, activate!

 

LOL! Now that is really pushing the definition of GLASS CANNON!

 

I had a big uproar with my unit last night who started opening windows and googling module and SSRM6 info because with 12% module, targeting computer (Missiles though, derp) and by my pure skill my SRMs had a range of 500m. This really excited and confused me and I started interrupting everyone and asking them their range which was a paultry 400m or so. I had to know why I had 100M, maybe a hidden benefit of TC1?

...

Yeah, was looking at ammo......

 

Wow, Fherot, looking at ammo instead of range? You sound like a real intelligent person...

 

1. I killed a friend while trying to give him the award for having x% hp left at the end of the game ....I mixed up RT and LT on his Nova. He was a bit pissed because he was waiting for that one quite a while
2. Dropping in a mighty Jagermech DD, the ultimate dakka machine and only having 4 MGs mounted...didn't carry that game. The "Back" and "Save" button in the mechlab are almost as irritating as RTs and LTs.

 

We should do this, set up a priv game, and do all trophies.

 

Don't think that works, does it?

 

It does not. No trophies for private matches or we'd all be Death Stars by now.

 

Synch-drop galore
