No other names are needed other than identifying key loadout parts for mechs I run multiples of.

Me, too. But when I get the right mech, it will have a personalised name.

I had my mech named “Anchor” as I try to have my pilot hold down the line and/or stay stationary with long range weaponry. I guess it could be construed as dull or heavy though XD

Falchion, Katana, Anvil, Thundercloud, and Odin (sensor lock, anyone?) all sound mechy.

Cool thanks I'm up to 70 hours of play time My mates reckon I may have a problem and I said yep not enough hours in the day

Have you thought about sacrificing your friends to the mech gods? I hear they might add more hours to the day for that. Or maybe some salvage. Don’t remember which.

I think I had something similar. I got a ++ PPC fairly early on. Put it on my vindicator. Very next mission, the poor thing barely makes it out alive. I was missing like 3 sections, including that arm with the shiny PPC in it.

I've managed to have TWO +++ AC10's blown off that one Centurion. So far my replacement "Commanders" Mech (TDR-SS) has had much better luck for not that much more armor. I think I'm just cursed when it comes to Cents :)

Speaking of + weapons... found an AC/20+++ with bonus damage and stability. 120 damage in one pop. :)
Currently have it on a Hunchback named BFG Plus Three, but I'm thinking I should move it to bigger mech... just salvaged my first Orion, so that may do the trick.

Jaegermech - "Trashcan" (I know, not very original)
Highlander - "Big Floppy", because why not
Grasshopper with nothing but support weapons - "Brawlhopper"
