Battle armour for the win !!!!

[BigBadVlad]

The Uziel with a couple ER PPC's, Flamers, Jump jets, armor and speed could usually get you a few kills!

That's right, folks, anyone who pilots something more than 70 tons is a sissy.

Actually, if game balance works well, I'm hoping people will hate Assault 'Mechs because they'll get shot in the weak rear armor too easily.

So people piloting the 75 ton Timberwolf or Wildcat or Mad Dog MK II are sissies? When you & I can face each other in a Circle of Equals, we will revisit that remark surat!

That's MAD CAT.

Clan 'Mechs?!? Wow, you even need your hyper-technology-one-shot-I-win weapons to feel good? That's even worse!

Actually, I'm going to go even lower and say anything more than 60 tons means you need a parent to hold your hand. So even your little Cauldron-Born is a tchotchke with a chair on top.

Also the Wildcat is a fake 'Mech created by MekTek wusses. And I refuse to believe in a Mad Dog Mk II. A Mad Cat Mk. II on the other hand is okay, as long as you don't ruin it by putting cheesy Clan energy weapons on it.

Zues, Atlas and for a little flavor, the occasional Awsome. But only for those that cant afford the first two.

Anyone who pilots the 100 ton Mackie has my respect.

Dont attack my favorite mech until I find a good IS medium, or heavy mech, that can replace it for me.

[kazrok]

No urge to lumber around in an Assault. I wan to pilot a Centurion or a Jenner.

The Mackie is what the Atlas only wishes it could be, and even then its ballistic weapon is gimped by the 'Mech's speed.

I was actually going to attack the Vulture as well. Yeah, let's bring the sissy limit down to 55 tons, then.

Though the Ryoken is pushing it, I give props to the Dasher, Koshi, Uller, Dragonfly, and Fenris. Now THOSE are some Clan 'Mechs with character.

[Skoll]

The Fenris especially. <3333

You are either the most sarcastic man on the planet or we are talking about different Mechs. I respect pilots of the Mackie-5S, the first Battlemech. The one that has 20 tons of armor that only provides 2/3 the protection of the Atlas and is armed with an autocannon/5, one large laser, and a single PPC (or perhaps two; one on the Mech and one in the pilot's hand).

You mean in between the pilot's legs.

I tend not to count period pieces since there was absolutely nothing that could even compared to the very first Mackie in the first place, back in the beginning. As such, I was actually talking about the final Mackie, the MSK-9H.

No, I meant the drink.

I will happily use nothing heavier than 55 tons, as long as what happened to Mechwarrior 4 doesn't happen here (Everyone grabbing jump-capable assault 'Mechs and using 3rd person to pop up from behind walls and alpha strike)

[Grimlox]

I'm a big fan of the Nova Cat. That will be my first choice.

The Nova Cat will start production in 3059, so 9 ~ 10 years after the invasion.

My preference is piloting either a heavier medium mech (50 or 55 tons) or a heavy mech. I'd much prefer the ability to have decent firepower and be able to withstand getting shot without sacrificing my mobility.

[Spike Spiegel]

I up for Light and Medium Class Mechs.

I hope terrain varies enough and battlefields are large enough to strike a balance in game.
