Quick question for anyone from PGI- Has the Flea just been abandoned? It has been advertised as being implemented for a year and nothing has been said of it.

Very Nice Vindicator

They're waiting until the MASC is working, then they'll roll out the Flea (so the rumor goes)

*especially if the aforementioned art is of an Urbanmech, Hatchetman, Zeus, Cyclops, and King Crab.



You know what? Even if they don't plan to put them in the game soon (or ever), I would love to see some concept art for those mechs. I know I can't have a hatchetman, but damnit I want to see it anywy! A huge part of the reason I still like and play this game is the frankly amazing job they do updating the visual style of the mechs. The Vindicator is no exception.

Whatever you're paying FlyingDebris isn't probably sufficient. Another great reimagining. I kind of dig how the cockpit area reminds me of the speeder bike riders from Return of the Jedi.

Great concept art, you're single-handedly keeping MWO alive.

Since I specialize in IS Mediums, I look forward to the Vindicator, though I'm not seeing what it does in MWO that the Blackjack can't, outside of the missile hardpoint.

Looks good, hopefully I guess it should be about BJ size (maybe a wee smaller) with smaller shoulders seeing as it won't have those kind of arms.

Here's hoping we get the standard 1R version, 4L (ECM minus the "Stealth" armor) and would be great if the hero was the Snake SNK-1V (LB10X right arm, 3 SSRM2 LT).

If so then I will likely give the Vindi set a go, otherwise....

Well strap me down and force me to pilot an Locust against a Daishi.
That Vindicator looks pretty good! This thing better be better then a Laser Cent with JJs.

I am not a medium pilot, but that arm... Put one on the left too and it is a mini-Warhammer! Very nice job Alex...now we just need in-game screenshots!

Too bad ECM variations of this mech don't pop up until the 3060's. I think it would be a good platform for it without being OP.

I always love the concept art PGI, it looks great!

That being said I'm not sure I want a 45 ton medium that has a top speed of 64.8 and extremely limited hardpoints... But who knows, maybe it will still be effective!

I know it won't be canon to the timeline, but I hope to see the 5L and the 3LD Vindicator Dao.

...

Now if only we could get a:

Longbow: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Longbow

War Dog: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/War_Dog

and Warhammer: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Warhammer
(pretty sure that was what was in the MW5 trailer before it became MWO: http://youtu.be/nJU4iA4TWIs).

If anything the Warhammer guys, I've been waiting for that thing ever since I watched that trailer!

Looks pretty good. Lack of QQ'ing is kinda disturbing. I thought that's all we do now these days?

Looks like the lovechild between a Kintaro and a Trebuchet. I shall call him Steve.

*snip*

Unfortunately both mechs are owned by Harmony Gold and won't be appearing in this game unless someone buys out HG, lights them on fire, and then gifts the rights to those mechs over to PGI.
