This version carries a prototype streak srm 6. Will we see new weapons soon?

Please goddess no. No more streak anythings.

[jakucha]

They did say they would release new weapons based on whether or not the mech variant they're releasing has them, but I don't think they will yet as Missiles still don't have state rewind and are damage bugged in general right now.

It's experimental tech from the 2800s.
It's not even modern experimental tech, it's extinct starleague experimental tech.

Specifically it's only the HGN-732 (Colleen) which is a custom 2820 variant that also has DHS and FerroFibrous armor.

The missile fix will be released with the patch on april 2nd if they dont break their promise.

I dont see streak SRM-6 in the loadout for 732, the 734 was upgraded to streak and a 2nd launcher was added and the 736 had the SRM-6 replaced with a streak SRM-4.

• HGN-732 Colleen - This version replaced the standard weaponry with an ER PPC, a prototype Streak SRM-6, twin Medium Pulse Lasers, and a pair of LRM-15 missile launchers. Fourteen double heat sinks keep everything cool. BV (2.0) = 2,127^[16]

no matter wich streak variant if 4 or 6 seems like one of those will may be implemented if they release one of this versions. i am more concerned about the light mechs equipped with double srm 4 or 6

As stated above it's an experimental 2820 mech using extinct experimental starleague tech, it's also a custom 1-off variant.

That particular variant would fall under the Hero catagory since it's a one off..and we already know which Hero we're getting for the HIghlander, that ain't it.

[Bagheera]

IS mechs don't get streak-6 until 3058. I'm not familiar with that highlander variant, but it appears the "experimental" stuff from the 2800s was clan tech, if this is accurate:

Damage bugged? They were nerfed and quite frankly, are in a near-perfect spot in terms of damage. This would be a pretty decent time to introduce more new weapons into the fold, seeing as how they are aiming for a September release, PGI really needs to do a TON of "ironing out" before hand, on a great many different things.

So you want us to wait 8 more real years for this stuff? Any of you lore junkies who think that we shouldn't get new equipment just because "it doesn't come out until year 30XX" have another thing coming. Following the time-frame to the letter is a laughable notion at best and would never be considered by PGI.

SSRM-4 & SSRM-6 reintroduced in 3058 (Draconis Combine). You might have to wait awhile for that variant.

You should realise that PGI is running behind the lore timing rather then ahead of it, so don't expect them to add anything ahead of time. The Clan invasion should be in full swing claiming world after world of IS worlds right now.

Or having an autolock weapon that weighs three times less than a gauss rifle while doing the same amount of damage is OP, even if the damage is spread out. You can carry three SSRM6 launchers + 1 ton of ammo and still be half ton lighter than a gauss rifle with no ammo. These things would be out right game breaking..

And who say's they cannot adjust the weight of said launcher? And an SSRM6 would only do 9 damage, spread all around and require a lock, which is a hard enough thing to do thanks to ECM. Anything and everything in this game is subject to change, due to balancing. This is a game and it first and foremost needs to be functional and as balanced as humanly possible. That means every piece of equipment, every mech, everything can be adjusted.

They have not changed item weight in the past, while anything is possible in the future I would bet against items having their weight changed. Thefact SSRMS always hit is what would make them game breaking in large numbers. You can't get behind cover in time like with LRMS, if ECM is an issue then just get ECM mechs (DDC, Raven 3L, Streak commando) with SSRM4's or SSRM6's and have a dull battle of lock and click warrior.

The game is already functional and rather balanced, there's no need to throw a second tier of weapons such as clan tech that would make our current weapons out of date and down right inferior. There's no way they could balance IS vs Clan tech, not without heavily changing just about everything regarding weapons and equipment which is something I'd rather they not try and possibly fail it.

So what you are saying is you think that PGI will not include Clan tech? Or at the very least, you don't want clan tech in this game? I'm not entirely sure how to break this to you, but PGI chose 3049 as the year this game takes place in for a reason.

I want clan tech weapons segregated from IS weapons, they can have their own queue and I'll likely play it but what I do not want to happen and what I hope and think PGI will not do is implement Clan Tech without restrictions such as certain game modes and queues.

if you thought the splatcat was bad, wait until you get the streak splatcat- every missile hits, every time. Have fun!
