So I am a fanboy of the fast little suicidal spiders its just that im not really a fan of the 2ml only 5V and dont get me started on the 5K, but im so very hoping for a hero spider.

Here are my choices, and if not as a hero the standard variants would be fine.


The SDR-9k aka the Venom even if you keep it at 30tons http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Venom
4 energy hardpoints in the chest

If not that I want the SDR-8x with the Partial Wing for gliding/heat dissipation. http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Partial_Wing I know its not in the current timeline but I want it.

My precious!!!!!



So tell me, would you fly these badboys?





UPDATE


My hero spider would be

The sdr-9k aka Venom
  • Same max armor of 210, 112 stock like the other spiders
  • 4 medium lasers (located either 2 in each side torso or 1 in each side torso and 2 in the center) - The 5d/k still have arm mounted hardpoints.
  • Have its jump capability around 23m (jenner/rav4x heights) or 4 out of 6 jumpjets for stock and 6/6 jumpjets would be 35m , That could be its weakness for having the most energy hard points so it is the same as the 5k at 35m, the 5d reaches 47m and the 5v is still the jump king at 70m.
  • Have it as 30 tons instead of 35 so that its easier that way.
  • Have it fit a standard 240 engine, all the spiders can max to the 255 engine so just do the same.
  • Ams slot
  • No FF/endo/dhs just like the other stock spiders
So basicly it would look like this stock, but imagine that the 2 tons are really 2 medium lasers and the jumpjet total is stitting at 4 out of 6

I love the Venom, and it WOULD be a light I buy.

The MW:DA Spider I actually like well enough that in a TT Campaign I designed a LAM Variant, AND had a "Special Forces" Zero Gravity Company that used Modified versions of them for Boarding attempts and Space Assaults.

I don't dislike Spiders but I'd rather see new chassis introduced instead of more variants of chassis we already have in the game. That sort of addition I feel can be left until all the actual content is in the game.

I'd love the 8X with the partial wing. But i'm pretty sure it doesn't come out until after the Clans.

Spiders look so cool in artwork. In the game they look like awkward, lurch-y, gangly teenagers running around getting slapped by the grown-up mechs.

Same as the commando. Nice model, horrible running animation.

Venom can make a great hero mech. In fact, 4 ML's in CT's coupled with 10JJ would probably the make the most OP mech in skilled hands in this game. I'd actually pay as much as Heavy Metal for that ;)

Yeah, definitely.

Animations, in my opinion, were better in previous Mechwarriors. In MW:O they're very stiff-looking (not in the good way) the upper torsos and arms barely move when running is just kind of an eyesore.

It would be quite scary in the right hands, I hope when the spider comes round the venom is its hero mech.

I know its 5 tons more when compared to the spider, but I hope they can just ignore that part and add it as a 30ton mech anyway.

It's not just five tons heavier, it's a different mech with a different model. I find it quite unlikely indeed that they'd create a whole new mech model (a process that they've explained is very expensive) just for a hero.

Also, 4 energy hardpoints? Why'd you take any other Spider?

Anyways, forget glider wings. I'd like to see those Spider directional jumpjets come in as a mech quirk, along with the D2j Targeting and Tracking System for the JagerMech. Is that likely to happen? No.

How would you fit four lasers in the CT with MW:O's hard point system?

HArd points are not the limitation. Crit slots.

But I suspect that the lasers are installed in the side torsos, so no problem.

Or they could be 2 in the CT and 1 in each ST

I know, right!? Every time I see a commando, I imagine his pilot wailing, "Can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!!" at the top of his lungs.

I run a 5K Recon at the moment, it's almost totally defensive (Recon primary role, 1 x medium laser defence) BAP & AMS. I didn't know about the SDR8x so was really stunned to see it. This version would be incredible and I want one now! as a Recon it would be fantastic and truly deserves it's place next to the existing units. Yes you guessed it, I like Spiders.

The Venom would be a great Hero 'Mech, except the P2W cries would probably never stop. Although it has the +5t mass, the torso mounts and the lack of ECM) are kind of drawbacks when compared to the 5D. And the 3L offers ECM and more hardpoints (including 2 M ones) at the same mass, so it wouldn't necessarily be the best light 'Mech in game.

I myself would love to see this little beauty added to the game in the form of Hero 'Mech.

Exactly even if the dont add the 5 extra tons that the venom has in cannon, I still wouldnt call it pay to win.

The x5 is the only cicada that has missiles, the heavy metal has a different hardpoint layout and the highest jump jetting when compared to the other highlanders.

And 4ml at 20 firepower for the venom would not be p2w as my 5D spider caries 2ml 1 erLL so its fire power is at 19, and as always for a light if you max out the damage you are weaker in another area such as speed/heatsinks/jumpjets/armor I know this well from my large ballistic raven 4x builds.


Also bump for hero idea
