Well, hello to all Steiner Loyalists here in this forum! As you all certainly know, we all will get the opportunity to choose the Zeus mech (sooner or later)! I just created this thread here because I'm proud that we will be able to get this mech. And I'm really looking forward to see the final result in my mechlab/battlefield. The backbone of the LCAF! That's all, thanks for your attention. For our beloved Archon!

Yes, it is a beauty! If the Zeus had come out a couple years earlier, I would have never taken a break from the LCAF.

Exactly......I might still be sporting the Steiner Avatar I had initially, and claiming my Warhawk was captured.....but meh....I suppose the story is I defected to Wolf space, went through an arduous trial of loyalty of sorts and was given a Warhawk...lol.

Now it will be the Zeus that is captured, shot out from under the ass of a lesser Steiner pilot who thought his lone ERPPC would outshoot my 4...muwhahaha.

Warning, build ideas bellow

I can't wait for the Zeus :)

Favorite mech since the earlier BT games... I wounder how unique it'll be compared to the Victor and Highlander?

See message above for build ideas.

For quirks...

I expect for the 6S has something to do with AC 5.... Maybe increase fire rate, minor bonus to general ballistics.
All have a bonus to firing LRM 15 while having minor to other LRM's and less to SRM's.
All having most likely some kinda bonus to the large laser and generic boost and for the 6T we may expect something to help out with the PPC and simular with 9S.

6T may also get missile love.

Depending how hitboxes go we may expected reinforced [insert problematic section here]... I can see lots of room for failing at arm, side, or CT hitbox and the head looks a bit huge....

So many threads about the new mechs :)

Had posted this already in one of the other Zeus threads:

The ZEU-6S (+30% C-Bill Bonus) is the new Hero variant.

Std 325, AC10, PPC, 2ML, SRM6, AMS:

or the typical Gauss with 2 ERPPCs:

Just some quick ideas that are probably not perfect and nothing new compared to the Victor, but gives a few builds for people thinking of using the 6S Zeus.

I also can't wait to see it in my lab! Will equip it in three different versions. First one will be a brawler and the second one with a long range loadout. The third possible loadout would be a mix.

I had the same idea, we will receive 3 variants, so I configure three versions. A short range version, a long range one as well as a mixed configuration.

Steiner Scout Lance, go!

Commando/Hollander/Zeus/Atlas

But because the Hollander is a little while's off...

Commando/Griffin/Zeus/Zeus

Also, fingers crossed that PGI pulls a magic trick to allow the 6S to mount an AC20. I don't want to say DOA or anything, but it'll be disappointing if the 6S can't pack the punch that the Victor can. That said, I'm using this for my 6S:

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...a15aabfabe720b1

(AC10 ammo is placeholder for Medium Laser)

This for my 6T:

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...5bd95ac47920034

Probably won't work out, but its worth a shot. ASRM18 with the mobility of an arm mounted weapon? You can't pass up trying that out. In fact, thats the only mechs in the game capable of that are Locust-3S (lol, no), the Orion-VA, and two clan mechs, the Kitfox and the Summoner, and even then, its only two per arm, not three SRM6s in one arm. Again, AC10 ammo = ML

As for the 9S, I'm conflicted. I'm going to start out with a big XL for lots of extra cooling and speed for survivability. Thinking either 3 MPL, 2 PPC, 1 LL with an XL375 and 20 DHS or 3 LPL (all in that one arm, 30 damage every four seconds), 3 ML, XL375 and 20 DHS. Don't want to stick a STD in there because then if you want speed, you sacrifice firepower, and if you want firepower, you essentially become an Awesome.

I'm glad they relented and made the 6S the bonus mech.

Dual AC5s may be the way to go in the arm. It's not going to be able to mount an AC20.

I'm hoping the torso energy points are higher mounted than they appear in the art, but I guess it's not too low either.
