Well i hope im wrong here and i hate to be the nay sayer..but i have to say even if it does run cooler..jumps higher..and has slightly better fire powe than the cheeta..if its big and wide like the nova..then only thing its gonna do is die..ALOT.

But i'll do what i allways do..let other players buy it..and wait for the tears on the forums ..i for one will never buy any mechs in this game again....too tired of being disapointed.



Where are the pictures of it side by side with the Nova I didn't see them?

@Navid: You act like stand alone packages are a bad deal which they are not. 60 days banked premium vs. 7 for the Shadow Cat.

As for colors you most likely have them all since you claim to be a mech junkie. Plus why did you expect a Wave IV? They are running out lights, especially ones that don't break the speed cap. Seems like the content is fair for the price especially factoring the stand alone pre-order bonus.

Patterns are nice but the other stuff is useless cockpit cluttering junk.


I only buy things that I can't get for free in game.

I have more than 2 years premium time banked... give me a reason why i should activate an always running negligible over priced "Booster".... useless...
Also...
20$ basic pack gives me 3 mechs that i can get for FREE with cbills afterwards.
Its all about that C-bill special variant which is double price with this new model... and PGI knows this very well... Greeeeed... Greeeed is all they understand.



You should have listened to the town hall... the way Russ twisted the reality was just... just ..... HORRIBLE!... as if he was talking to R3tards.

So it's a Clab Crab that goes really fast, and can't effectively mount 5CMPL.

Okay.

cSPLs ~= isMPLs

The speed helps make up that range differential, and it can mount 6 cSPLs effectively (with a TC and 2 DHS)
It will also equal the Cicada in jumping ability: The two best Jumpers in the game (excessively...but hey, it's something)

Didn't they say the Firemoth isn't going to happen last TH? Something along the lines of it's just too damned fast and breaks the already broke-as-shite hit registration even further?


I know that. It's just Firemoth is pretty much the only mech left from the invasion mechs.

... Huh. Looking back, 8CSPL actually sounds downright HORRIFYING to fight against.

Shave a little armor off the head and arms, and stick a targeting computer in. This thing goes, what, 149ish with speed tweak?

Imminent "MEDIUMS OP HITREG BROKEN" threads now to match the current Lights OP one.

8.5, actually.

9 when you strip an arm (because you don't really need more than 6 E hardpoints).
It won't be a bad robot, far from the Trash Tier of the Cute Fox and Myth Lynx, because it doesn't have their two greatest faults:
Bad hardpoints
Small engine

It's fast and it can mount 6 Clam lasers. You don't need much more than that...but hitboxes help.

Confused about the pricing. or rather, probably missed out what Russ said at Town Hall.

Is the viper part of the "Delayed" wave 4 pack

or is it to be a standalone just like the kodiak etc.

A IS mech was also mentioned. I hope its not Rakshasa

They should just do Firemoth and complete the base 16 clan mechs. and make it the Clan locust.

No more waves, rest will be standalone.


Welp, looks like I'm out.

I loved buying me some robots, but these one-at-a-time packs are baaaaaaaad value in my ever so humble opinion. I've got enough premium time banked to last me forever, guess it's time to become F2P guy. It actually makes me kind of sad... I really like this game.

I'm just not up for spending the same amount on one-at-a-time robots as I could on an entire self-contained game.

Standalone like Kodiak. Russ officially said RIP to 4 packs.

I realize this, and I'd love to see the speed demon added to the game, but if it further breaks an already broken game, it's not worth adding.

If PGI can fix, and I mean finally, REALLY fix the hit reg system for the game... No more SRM miss fires, no more lasers passing through a light mechs legs or something, then, only then, would I scream from the mountains it's time to add the Dasher.

It's 40 tons what do you want? Would rather it be not an easy kill like a slow 40 tonner would be.
