Yes. I know. I have grumbled a bit about how fast the Wave III hit after the Urbanmech Pack and the Resistance. And I really wish we had the Mech of the Month Club still.

But realizing that ship has sailed, well, I would love to see a add on 2pack to the Resistance Pack considering how much I am loving my Panther and Enforcer, and how good the Grasshopper and Zeus looks.

That, and there are still scads of IS MEdiums to introduce, so I could see it being an easy $30 buck, pack, like the last one. (Griffin/Wolverine)

My choice? Vulcan and Assassin, please.

40 tonners are under represented, but would play a lot like the Panther or Firestarter.





Concepts by me, 3D renders in progress by AUSWarrior24 (thanks for the bang up work, bro)

The Assassin would be a compact mech, build similar to a slightly larger Spider, with stock speed of about 127, and / JJs (probably get inflated), with lasers and missiles.

The Vulcan, starts life at a paltry 107 kph (after tweak) with 6 JJs, but would have a fantastically unique silhouette, and probably be VERY XL friendly, with a blend of energy and ballistics. (Sadly, not quite the 8 MG fun of my Custom design in the picture).

I think they could be a lot of fun, and would plunk down another 30 bucks or so on them.

Of course, one could also go with a ComGuards themed one, with the Crab and Sentinel. Fire Support pack with Whitworth and Dervish. Etc.

Or even slap together a Light Mech Reinforcement Pack, with the Wolfhound and Javelin, or another mix. Or Heavy (A bit more limited in options in timeline, but Lancelot, Black Knight?) or Assault (Mauler and Cyclops? Devastator and Annihilator, aka the Armageddon Pack?), or even a mixed weight pack. but I would expect PGI to charge more probably, for the big boys.

Thoughts?

PGI, if you wants my bucks for a insta-buy..... THIS^^^
It's the medium IS needs: very fast stricker, and human walker.

Also my friend Grass is agree.

"OMG! It's damned trendy!!!!"

[Vandul]

I like where this is going, please, press on.

[El Bandito]

I personally want the Hollander.

Pros: Mad Gauss quirks.

Cons: PGI will make its uber large dong look like a pinky finger of a baby.

I like the work Bishop,

I'd certainly buy them if they came in looking like that,

I still think the battle master needs more gundam though

[legionofvega]

Wow Bishops, those are amazing! I was just suggesting to my buddy that they add the Assassin (yours looks so BAD ARSE) to help represent the 40 tonners. A fast, jumping mech like that would be a welcome addition and probably boost the medium % numbers in queue. The Vulcan has also been a favorite of mine for years. Again, awesome work on those drawings!

I'm passing on Wave 3, but more IS mediums are always welcome in my mechlab!

Go go PGI!

[legionofvega]

On a secondary note, I wrestled on whether to buy Wave 3 but ultimately decided against it to wait for IS mech packs since I don't play my clan mechs very much. A reinforcement pack or new IS pack would be very welcome!

Here's my vote for the next pack!

Com Guards Pack
Cyclops
Black Knight
Assassin
Wolfhound

[KuroNyra]

If the resistance pack got a renforcement.
I WANT a Renforcement for the Clan Wave III featuring the Urban mech IIC!

and it will probably be a large, wide Light like the Kitfox, with even less speed, and no ecm or JJ.

I think the Battlemaster needs more Dougram, personally.

I like those, though I would like to see a smaller pack like the Reinforcements before the next "big money/big extras" pack.

Suck it, clanner! (Judging by the CW map you clammers are doing just fine without.... even if the drop I did yesterday with a Wolf 10 man was the most gutless, unclanlike CW drop the Ghost BEar has ever been on..... yeesh!)

Yeah, I'd agree on that. Another little pack that is easier to stomach financially yet brings many hours of fun as the Wolverine and Griffin have! I remember the Phoenix pack excitement and then the reinforcement pack. We finally had the medium trifecta!

Exactly. Also might give a bit of a break from the cash grab whiners. Doubtful. Even the monthly mech model had those people whinging. But it would be nice.

[NextGame]

We need an 3025/3050 IS mop up pack, with loads of crap mechs in it like the hornet, the clint the Mackie etc, an some decent mech on the top tier to encourage people to buy the pack

Firing a single alpha from basically anything over 30 tons and detonating the Gauss to instagib the Hollander in one shot would be sad.

It would also be sad to see PGI inevitably give it only like 5 hardpoints or something just to really poop on it (I'd want like 7-9 hardpoints to make up for the fact that ALL OF THEM ARE BALLISTICS, ON A LIGHT MECH).

Impossible. 9MG Hollander will be even more OP than the 3-second Jenner.

I was thinking more along the lines of having one 5-rated AC and then a bunch of MGs as backup. Maybe 2 AC/2 + a bunch of MGs to be a derp.

I see that sarcasm didn't get through.

Let's try this again...

No. Paul won't allow it because if a Jenner with 2.0 DHS can rear-core an atlas in 3 second, a Hollander with 2 AC and 7 MG will front-core a Direwolf in 1 second.

Well, the 7 MG Shadow Cat will be able to do something similar I imagine...

I thought I was the only one who thought the game seriously needed the Vulcan and Assassin.
