Introducing the Peugeot Raven, with it's 4-cylinder Diesel and softer-than-cheese suspension, this baby will get you from zero-to-60... if you're lucky.


(Just kidding, I love it! I'll probably alternate between this and the Jenner for my Assault-hunting trips)

I am LOVING the design cues on this beast! EXCELLENT job FD.

My worries about seeing another Centurion-esque "Gundam" are being quelled quite nicely. :) Gonna go work on some Raven configs!

So the Raven is apparently Davion and French. Interesting


House Davion is historically French. In fact back on Terra the earliest ancestors of the contemporary Davion's were French, that lineage is not something they have shied away from in the centuries since they departed Terra.

Y NO BETA!!! ;D

But:
Love the look! I dislike the (more classic I guess) way it is in MWLL.
And McDoomswinger -- that's awesome. XD

What, you won't use "That's so Raven"? *Evil chuckle if people get flashbacks to that show*
The nose is more of a sad dog than a birdish beak, but other than that I don't have too many problems with it.
I'm also pleased it has Davion colors ;) considering how it was a Cappie design mostly.


Where is the face-palm emoticon.

I dare not tred there.

Also I agree about the nose. Kinda weird looking, rattish almost.

To be totally honest, when I first opened up the thread and I saw the image - I reflexively said ew. I really didn't like it at all.

Now, having said that, the more I go back and look at it - the more it grows on me. Yes, it is ugly. But it's much more military than previous versions of it. It's much more utilitarian.

I'll be proud to see my scouts in them. Nice work FD!

Looks awsome.

I would pilot it. If it does the job well, who cares what it looks like besides it looks like it will be harder to hit since it looks narrower. It should be a thrill to pilot it.

Very different but nice design touch by our favourite FD! This will be an interesting ride in-game. Looking forward to start repaint work on this one. Would have expected default Capellan 'colors' on it but that is something a paintshop can fix...

Intersting look. Overall I like it, but I think the lower section is a little fat compared to the old design.

St00bert likes the 'Mech... St00bert does NOT like the Universal Symbol of Surrender (French Flag) painted on the 'Mech.

St00bert is done refering to St00bert in the third person.

I only got one problem with this game so far and that is the look of the Raven. It looks like a bird with an ant-eater nose. That is all.

Really like the new Raven, nice work FD!

I do think it looks more like a greyhound than a bird, but still think it rocks!
