Let people choose which of the 4 they're getting.

I can't afford 80 bucks, and I have no interest in the Locust or the Shadow Hawk. I do have interest in the T-Bole and the B-Mer. 40 bucks, I can afford.

Any body else that realized these mechs are all available as IIC clan mechs? I think they choose them becuse of this reason, so they can use the same mechs with almoust no rework for the clans later on.

What exactly is a Phoenix BattleMech? How is it different from the standard variants? Are they like Hero 'mechs? Champions?

When Battletech was first released, several of the mech artworks were taken directly from Macross(Robotech). There were about a dozen, and for those of us who've been with it for decades see them as some of the most iconic mechs in the game.

Unfortunaetly because the art was the property of another company, legal issues erupted and they disappeared. You'll see them mentioned on this site and elsewhere as "The Unseen." Most are solid mech designs and all hold special places in the hearts of long time fans.

It looks like we'll be seeing at least 4 of them in this game with possibly altered art.

Q: How are the Phoenix Battlemechs cosmetically and functionally different from the Mechs already in-game?
A: The Phoenix Variants of each Project Phoenix Battlemech comes packed with the following cosmetic and functional perks:
Unique and Exclusive Custom Designed Exterior
30% C-Bill boost
10% Loyalty Point Boost
Important! These Phoenix Variants will NEVER again be available to purchase or to unlock once the sale offer has ended.

Q: What is the difference between a Phoenix and Standard Variant ?
A: The Standard Variants of each Project Phoenix Mech will not carry any of the Phoenix Variant cosmetic or functional benefits, as seen in the answer above.

This may put a dent in my star citizen fund...

[General Taskeen]

The Project Phoenix Technical Readout Locust looked fine to me, that one picture (concept? or model?) looks like regurgitated Jenner to be honest:





Most of the other outlines look closer to the originals. The Battlemaster I assume will have a Lego cockpit, instead of the classic curvy, sexy Battlemaster cockpit.

If PGI promises better balance, then maybe I'll give them money. 3 of those Mechs come stock with Machine Guns, and if PGI can't make them useful redesigns of MG's, then I will be very disappointed.

Oh derp, I should have looked for that first, thank you!

And like I said... I still might do it anyway...

[BigMekkUrDakka]

need more money to make 3pv or tactics? please fo!

[Xeno Phalcon]

WAIT ONE DAMN SECOND: wheres the warhammer? O.O

considering it was in the original trailer, I would think it would be right up front with the earliest redesigns.

[Cathbadh]

On a side note, if you buy the $80 package, that's 12 mechs? Is it safe to assume each comes with its own mech bay slot? Or would we need to buy those too?

[Aaron45]

[Remarius]

Hands over wallet... Overlord please.

What I'm wondering is if I can get my hands on a beautiful Battlemaster without dropping $80...


Although I might anyway...

The FAQ makes it seem as though there will be non-hero variants of these Reseens, like there are Founder vs Standard Jenners

And someone swallowed the bait!

[BrainFlush]

First, very awesome!

Second:
I am already a Legendary Founder, I want this package. How would that work with my Forum title and Badge? I like my Legendary image and title. Will you allow us to show both?

And can the Premium time stack as I still have my original Founder time saved.

I am still buying this no matter what. I just want to know some details.

Thanks to anyone who can help clarify. Otherwise I will make a new post.

[Black Ivan]

The game lacks serious balance, new maps and game modes, but PGI has time for this?

Not really good. The game lacks a long term motivation and many other things, not more Mechs.

[Latika]

wow, they cannot release one mech a month until you pay 80 bucks for it.
just wow.

and the community needs more chassis, not the bug fixing? seriously? you guys gonna fall for it? no s&*(h&*(i**(t

[Scout80913]

Count me in. For all those wet blankets that said we'd never see them; ha! I hope this leads to more of the classic designs being re-drawn and re-introduced.

I know this may have slipped a little over the last few months in a controlled way, but great presentation.

Now where do I throw the money.
