Mmmm....

Note the heights though - especially between the Firemoth and Direwolf... :)
(And people say the Centurion is oversized)

Have always loved the Cauldron Born.
I might even buy one if it's released rather than grind 12,000 hours for it!

Absolute nonsense. Those Mechs have nothing to do with Macross, stop riling.


I'm quite serious. Discussions on this were common at the time of the Clan emergence. The Vulture upper torso was quite specifically built from the Archer's, just as the Loki and Thor upper bodies are clones of the Warhammer and Thunderbolt. Many debates occurred regarding whether or not FASA had made the designs far enough from the source material to avoid legal difficulty. Those decisions haven't bit them in the long run, but each time someone new gets to use the designs, hesitation is sometimes seen. Having watched it over time I guess I'm pre-programmed to expect it. I automatically read it into PGI's decision to not use the Vulture and Loki in the Clan rollout. But their choice could still merely be coincidental.

The Vulture wouldn't add very much to the lineup of the game - it's pretty much just a pocket Mad Cat. Probably the 'Mech that would be the most useful in the current balance and meta would be the Gladiator. As ugly as it is, it is a 95 ton 'Mech that moves 64kph before speed tweak and can jump.

Ideally I'd like to see ALL of the first-wave front-line Clan mechs in MWO and I'm hoping that the other half of them are rolled out in a package like the first half were. Particularly I want my damn Pirhana (12 MGs hell yeah!!!) and I need my Mad Dog! =)

my ideas:

light: Mist Lynx (for ECM), Incubus (for 151 kmh speed)

http://www.sarna.net.../Incubus_(Vixen

Medium: Shadow Cat (only medium ECM?), Ice Ferret (for 129 kmh speed)
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Shadow_Cat
http://www.sarna.net..._Ferret_(Fenris

Heavy: Vulture (60 ton mini Timberwolf), Nova Cat (for who likes firepower more than speed)
http://www.sarna.net...ad_Dog_(Vulture
http://www.sarna.net...a_Cat_(OmniMech

Assault: Kodiak (for 64 kmh speed)- Turkina (for 54 kmh, faster than DireWolf)

The two mechs I want to see most are Shadow Cat and Nova Cat. The clans need more ECM capable mechs and the Shadow Cat fits that role perfectly.

Greetings all,

After the initial introduction of all 16 of these 'First Wave' Omni Mech's from the first 4 Clans, there will/should be additional 'new' chassis fielded.

- These come from the second group of Clans that were sent into the IS as reinforcements.
- Clan Nova Cat and Clan Steel Viper being the largest, arrive during wave 4 (July-October 3050).

Reference:
http://www.sarna.net...t#Clan_Invasion
http://www.sarna.net..._Clan_Nova_Cats
http://www.sarna.net...lan_Steel_Viper
http://www.sarna.net...lan_Steel_Viper

These two Clans are not as large as the initial first 4 but offer some additional ad unique differences from the 'big four'. Ultimately neither of these Clans history end well, but they do alter and change events within the IS while they are here.

During this timeline the Nova Cats have production facilities that produce the following Mech chassis:
- Huntsman(50T)
- Griffin IIC(40T)
- Shadow Cat(45T)
- Conjurer (Hellhound=IS name)(50T)
- Jenner IIC (35T)
- Supernova(90T)
Their scientist caste perfected ER Laser technology, introducing the Clan-spec ER Large Laser in 2823. Combined with their skill with accuracy, this gave the Nova Cats an unmatched combat force until this technology had spread through the rest of the Clans. The Nova Cats maintain a preference toward energy weapon based designs to this day.

Due to the Steel Vipers being a somewhat separated Clan from there other Clans, there is not much listed in what they have as unique chassis for their Clan.

Could be a good idea bring in garrison class mech.
Not so expensive as an omnimech, but still carrying clan weapons.
Please not the Huntsman, it's ugly like an Ork.
