First off, Clanners hate waste, which includes killing a pilot in a training run for no reason other than filter out the weak. You can eject during a trial. just remember that if you don't kill a mech, your life as a warrior is over.
Bloodweaver: I got your e-mail, but sadly it still won't work. I'm still leaning towards the different version theory, but I don't know whats going on there. I hate to do this to you, but I'm going to get you to post your mechs stats here and then I will duplicate the machine. Seems like the only way.
Arkhandus, Dire Lemming, Jemal, your designs are good to go. The only question I pose to you guys is who wants to be a part of the first trial. Considering some of you will be new to the rules, and others will need refreshers, such an important combat would be benificial to watch someone else go through it first, so they can see how it all comes together. Any volunteers?
