The orion wasn't intentionally pushed back, it hasn't been replaced

i just made the orthos for the quickdraw before the orthos for the orion, really thats it

Completely untrue [in response to Orion being delayed because of arm angle]. lol. We wanted to more variety to the mech meta game, so we changed it up a bit. The order in which mechs are announced will not always be the order in which they are released.

OH REALLY? Which one am I supposed to believe?

PGI, get your public relations in order.

That isn't what Bryan said. Get your stories straight, PGI.

I'd take Alex's word over Bryan's any day of the week.

Love the cheesy old western style story. Good looking mech too.

Why? Apparently they don't owe us any info at all. We should be happy we have two conflicting stories, we could get nothing and like it as some people here are wont to do.

I trust the guy who A - knows how to do his own damn job and B - has the cahoneys to push his paycheck signer under the bus and the brains to be subtle about it in the process.

Liked the story too. Goofy, but has an undeniable charm to it.

It also makes a lot more sense, tbh. The metagame excuse seemed like hogwash. A simple "ah crap, the model isn't ready" is a much more believable mea culpa.

Well the quickdraw was just on my schedule that way, I didn't really think about the reasons why it was. I just did it.

Am just trying to cool people out who thought the orion got permanently shelved or something.

[PoLaR]

Wow, this Quickdraw actually looks ******' awesome.

we are getting a lot of contradicting explainations from the devs.

i think alex just has a soft spot for the quickdraw

The correct answer is the one Alex gave. Bryan's answer was a troll/decoy.

[InRev]

All I know is Alex needs a raise. He takes the absolutely ugliest and goofiest designs known to man and turns them into menacing death-robot gold.

[Alex Iglesias]

ehhh... no.

Other people had set up the schedule, I simply worked through it
I just didn't know the specific reasons for the order, it didn't matter to me at the time.

Simply 2 separate perspectives of the same thing.

I will probably play this mech, though I doubt it will have a meta-changing impact on the game.

I am really, really curious why they pushed back the Orion; I was very much looking forward to that.

They pushed it back so that the IS would have something worth buying after the Clan's were introduced. Also what Quickdraw variant has 6 MPLas?

[Carbine666]

Even though I wanted the Orion as much as everyone else im happy to get another heavy. I also see that if there is another heavy there is also another light , med and assault and I cant wait for those.

[Laserkid]

BTW guys, this just confirms my suspicion. IS battlemechs will be released once a month until PGI feels comfortable hitting up with like 12 clan omnimechs and umpteen new factions all at once. MWO 2.0 if you will.

The good thing for me here, is I only have 1 Mech Bay and no MC. And I am trying to hold till Christmas when they do the next sale.

So the Orion getting pushed off works out since I was planning to make it my Heavy mech.

Spend 5 bucks get 4 mechbays...come one guys...that's a happy meal and less then a pack of smokes.

If you want to keep the game alive you have to contribute. Every two-three months I throw in about 30. Sure it's not what they'd make if I was a subscriber but thats the choice of being free to play.
