probably because of its weird arms, would be hard to target with.

The arms would probably end up working just like everything else that has lower arm actuators, i.e. Atlas, Treb, Commando, Dragon, etc...

1) Potentially REPLACE the Dragon, like the Victor replacing the Awesome.

yep the quickdraw it's pretty much a Dragon based around energy and missiles plus added JJ.

another outcome of this announcement is that this indicates the mysterious 6 unannounced but fully complete mechs they had alluded to in the past were NOT clan mechs as some had hoped!!

They have to honestly properly balance clan weapons first before they even put them out. Right now, the current system with the IS weapons aren't balanced. Just imagine adding clan tech.. that's a whole different mess to figure out.

Deathlike, chill bro yo. Its just an announcement for when the Quickdraw artwork is being shown. The upcoming Mechs (in production) are the Flea and Orion.

No... Orions are MOVED 3-4 months off (as stated by Bryan). We're getting the Quickdraw INSTEAD.

Yay, another PPC jump sniper...

I am highly surprised someone has gotten online and complained about all the x4 ERPPC Jump snipers we are going to see with this.....

too soon?

Considering the jet shake added this patch, too soon to tell. We'll have to see how the poptarters adapt, if they can.

The dragon is now dead.

No mech out there has as bad of hitboxes at the dragon, and then add the horrible weapon loadouts. The quickdraw is gonna be my go to mech.

4 PPCs in a fast moving jump jet capable 60 ton mech, Im gonna love it.

[Mechteric]

looks like a good mech choice to me, its certainly quite a ninja move on their part though! Hopefully since it won't have the massive CT of the Dragon and jump jets it will be quite the choice for those who like fast raiders (me!)

You can already put 4 PPC on a Flame, and its terribly bad on heat. Also the Dragon has ballistics while it looks as if the quickdraw won't. Different but not dead.

Actually, no. The Quickdraw is coming to the live servers on June 18th, and the Orion is pushed back to the next cycle (after the Victor, the Flea, and possibly after an undisclosed light and medium). The earliest we'll see the Orion is therefore in September.

So if this is actually going to be the mech of the month, when the hell are we going to get the Orion?

If you read a few posts up, 3-4 months.

Well, that was a nice mech I was looking forward to. What the hell gives PGI?

[ShadowbaneX]

Hey, awesome! Another mech with just energy and missile slots. Cause, yeah, we didn't have enough of those already.

...wtf is this mech

It's a mech that PGI decided on high noon that they'll try to duel us, only to find out the meta said they were slow to the trigger.

Having to wait longer for an Orion has almost pushed me into ragequit land, but ill try to remain calm.

1) Moved to 3-4 months back. Why? For reasons unknown.

2) In the Announcements section, under June Creative Director Update.

I know its announced in the June Creative Update, I meant where is the official announcement with the pretty picture and stuff. (We weren't expecting a new announcement this soon)

Is there an official post somewhere about the length of time the Orion is being pushed back or is that just a best guess by people?
