GG: Today we have Frank Stechman in the Galaxy Gathering
studio. Welcome Frank, can I offer you something from the wet bar or a cigar
from General Nova’s private stock?
Frank: Why thank you very much, a nice cheroot would be good
as well as some of that very fine aged scotch you seem to have hidden in the
back.
*Pours two large glasses of "Abbott's Reserve" and
gives one to Frank*
GG: Thanks for taking the time to talk to me today. Let's
get started!
GG: For the record, what is your name, ID number and the
clan you are fighting with in this war?
Frank: I am Frank Stechman, #52792 proud member of AFF this
battle with the MG Defenders. just
pointing out we all are mercs for sale to the highest bidder but I have a lot
of loyalty to those that helped me learn the biz.
GG: What are you most looking forward to this war?
Frank: This is going to be a new challenge for me. I have
been bumped up to Div 2. Will be fun
seeing how I do with the big boys. Our specs have not been made public yet so
sorry if you want that info you are going to have to wait like everybody else.
Frank: Just a heads up the speed increase on missiles from
the hard-working teams has pretty much have everybody scrambling to see what to
do with their formation.
Frank: Personally I nearly wet myself when I saw the reports
of how much better the missiles are now...
ermm maybe this scotch needs a
refill if you want any more thoughts.
GG: I will never ask anyone to give up clan secrets. You are
free to answer as much as you are comfortable with. *Pours another round and
slides a glass across the desk to Frank*
GG: Grats on your first war in D2. I hope it is everything
you wish for.
GG: There are 4 specialists this war. Do you enjoy running a
specialist formation or do you enjoy fighting as an unlimited more?
Frank: I like that question Johnny. The only way I am competitive is if I utilize
specialties, I have been working them for a long time some are good, some ok, but
at the very least I can get out of the battle with enough mechs moving to sell
off the salvage and repair and rebuild for the next time.. I learn and earn just bit every fight 🙂
GG: haha that is a very good attitude there Frank *Grin*
GG: This war every clan must have an SRB specialist to
enter. Are you a fan of a clan being required to have a specialist just to
enter the war?
Frank: Aye, in fact I would like to see a cw were everybody
needs be a specialist
hmm this glass seems
to be getting low again, why do I need to ask?
Frank: oh, did I shock you with that? Just think on it a bit
hehe, talk about a level playing field especially in the lower ranks.
*Another full glass shows up next to Frank as if by magic*
GG: That would be very messy for sure lol. I wonder how many
clans would sit that kind of war out.
GG: Do you think Nick will give a bonus prize to the SRB
specialists this war like he did for the 20T guys last war?
Frank: well that is a good question, as I have said before I
see no need to bribe peeps to play but then again, we are all mercenaries and
every small favor may make a difference in the next battle. *salute lifting the fine scotch whiskey*
GG: Everyone likes getting paid *Smile*
GG: Which specialist formation do you least enjoy fighting
against and why?
Frank: 40 ton without a doubt. to many gold winners, end of
story.
GG: This war missiles are getting a +50 Speed boost. Are you
excited about this and will this change how you set up your formations?
Frank: Already done what I could soon as I saw that, is a
game breaker for many formations. The
only drawback to missile mechs is their speed, will be some wild and crazy
battles.
GG: More Power! More Destruction! You heard it here first
folks!
GG: What clan do you most enjoy fighting against and why?
Frank: Haha you
expect me to fire up the beast, not
gonna happen.. I prefer to lay in wait and hit when I can.
GG: Enough said *Smile*
GG: Is there something in your career as a mech jockey you
are proud about and would like to share?
Frank: Getting my first gold was a real rush, played for a
long time and never made it to the top, got 4 now and feel a lot better about
how I work my squads.
GG: Sounds like you are making good progress. I remember my
first Gold Kotm win. It was very exciting!
GG: Is there anything else you would like to add or a shout
out to a friend or foe you would like to give?
Frank: Just looking forward to this CW, have heard through the
grapevine that some not bother with them because they level to fast. IMHO just
get in there and battle there should be some serious negative effects for those
that want to "camp".
GG: Today's PSA is provided by Frank Stechman. Frank says
"MOAR Fighting!!"
GG: Thanks for stopping by the studio today Frank. It was a
real pleasure having a chance to talk to you again. I wish you and your crew
the best.
Frank: Thanks, best of luck to you and you clan.
