Flamer Jack looks to be the most viable out of a mech doomed to mediocrity.

Max speed well above 100kph

+6-8 energy slots?

yes plz....

[Voridan Atreides]

Not bad. Could have some fun with that.

so, it's the most viable because its stock build makes it able to fit anything else than flamers?

Seems legit

But yet, that's the game PGI wants MWO to be

Yeah I am confused as well.

I think he is complaining flamers suck? they are getting a huge buff a long with the BJ, they can heat you up to 90% now, (from 20% right? huge change)

Im picturing the BJ-1x as a slightly faster squishier laserback

[Sephlock]

Hes complaining about the fact that we can mount other energy weapons where the stock variant has flamers.

[LordBraxton]

TO BE FAIR

I have issued with MWO's hardpoint system.

But any imagined (and more restrictive) hard point system would still allow flamers to be swapped for mediums.

They are both 1 ton energy weapons after all.

So I guess he wants stock only builds?

Would be a fun game mode.... Until everyone found the best few stock variants

Right now I am picturing a blackjack running 111kph with 8 medium lasers

not great but doable

Might end up being a viable small-laser boat. The return of the SLASERBACK.

If it can reach TBT-3C speeds (mine goes 128kph)

then yes good thinking man

I don't think it will be able to go that fast though....

I wish SRMs actually hurt so my tbt-3c could wreak some havoc again

If only.

No knockdowns = no need for a charger.

So sad.

It would really benefit from being able to melee also .

Today I thought I'd hop on and megagrind for the cash to immediately buy and upgrade/customize some blackjacks, but then the un-fun leapt out of my monitor and slapped me in the face with a trout like a physical force.

HAHAHAHA the exact same thing happened to me

I made about a million in 3 matches with my 4 PPC CTF-1X

I just ran around at 86kph and played ridge sniper for 30 minutes.

I woke up later with my face on my keyboard.

What did they do to make the basic gameplay on even the classic maps so booooring?!?

They made it all direct fire on gigantic maps....

If not for all the cursing, I'd link to a certain video as an example of how the un-fun leapt out of my screen and smacked me in the face.

For the curious, google "Shorts - Arrow to the Knee". Its the first result- a youtube video.

Here we go. It was like this:
