got to check in with one of my old students today. Gotta admit it’s always fun to see where they end up. That is until you learn that the fucker is piloting a danger zone dusk wing. The one lesson you were supposed to take away from me was that you should never rely on your luck as a lancer, and yet here you are tempting fate like a maniac. Whatever, ain’t my damn job to reteach people who’ve already graduated.
a new batch of recruits came in today, and the sense of dread I felt when they didn’t even understand how to heatfall loop. That shit is supposed to be semester one basic training stuff, not the capstone class for lancer promotions. Coworker of mine suggested screaming into the void of the omninet would make me feel better, so here I am.
Good to see a fellow teacher on here Kiddo, if you ever need to bounce lesson plans and the like off of someone I can lend a ear, as long as you don't mind sharing it with a Mercenary that is.

no offense, but I trust an active merc about as much as I trust a first year not to immediately melt down their reactor, which is to say not at all.
also, I’m 43 you jackass. I may be young but I ain’t a damn kid.
Hello Omninet.
I'd like to take this time to apologize, for a certain soundbite you might've heard circulating in which I appear to give credence to a nasty stereotype.
I would first like to say, yes. Male lancers do exist. I see you, and I am proud of the work you do to uphold our great utopian ideals. I had no intention to imply you were at all lesser than your female counterparts. My incredulity at meeting Cmdr. Woys was feigned, and my comments were indicative of my own time in serving with the DOJ, not as a pilot but as a man on the ground. It was a time when these stereotypes and assumptions were given more credence, and it was treated as fact that women and femmes simply made better pilots, particularly that they were better pilots than men by an order of magnitude.
I understand now that this is untrue, rooted in old anthrochauvinistic thought, and harms individuals across spectrums of gender and expression. I want to make it clear that this ugly attempt at "humor" is not who I truly am, and that as a representative of this great Union, I owe you much more.
I am listening, and learning
- Representative Deal Freeman
Never thought I’d see the day a bureaucrat takes responsibility for something, but I guess even pig can fly when you grill them for bigotry enough.
eh, can’t say that I did much better in my heyday as a pilot, but the fun thing about being in education is you’re always gonna have a bunch of snot nosed recruits with something to prove, and you just happen to be the person they have to prove it to.

Had to do a quick search to learn what heatfall looping even is, and maybe this is just a difference in training, but, correct me if I'm wrong, it feels pretty dependent on a mech built to go into the danger zone in the first place, which isn't something a lot of frames do in the first place.
The concept does seem simple enough, but is it something they'll need to know how to do? The closest thing I can equate to how I'm thinking about this is teaching a transport ship's chef how to fly said ship, if that makes sense?
Let me put it this way. You’re pretty on the money when it comes to ship pilots, but the chef part is plain stupid. It’s more like training a future pilot how to effectively pilot different ships, so that when they graduate they can effectively pilot whatever ship they want without issue. It would be kind of like IPS-N only teaching recruits how to pilot half of their fleet’s ship types.
//Sucker\\
Most of what benifits from a HFL are frames like the Genghis and Shermie, with most other frames not benifiting without significant investment into heat cap or loading weapons.
though the concept should be introduced early.
//For Cogito Ergo Sum\\
I was heatfall looping a Gilgamesh for over a decade before I was forced to retire, so saying that it’s only useful on stuff like a Sherman is a riot of a joke if anyone actually tried to say it.
the point is it’s a very useful skill that can be applied to almost any Harrison Armory frame to great results.
//Sucker\\
Yeah. But the constant stabilizing isn't necessary without weapons that generate heat or need to be reloaded.
//For Cogito Ergo Sum\\
you’re forgetting about the Genghis’s explosive vents, which makes the constant stabilizing viable with only a single license level. From there be my fucking guest and grab whatever loading weapon you want to justify it even further.

went to get a damn drink after today’s abysmal class. Unfortunately there was some after party going on for a mission at the bar that involved a Saladin. Which effectively means I’d be socially obligated to buy at least two drinks for the prick, which on a teacher’s salary means I wouldn’t be drinking shit tonight. You know how many Saladin pilots I’ve taught? Enough to drink myself and five other people to the grave. Whatever, I’ll just go to the next one a block over.
what do you mean those idiots are pub crawling!? Ugh, this blog has turned into just me angrily yelling at nothing real fast. I might post something that isn’t me complaining about my inability to get drunk on a later date.
