The robot is to honor the player.

I have a Sara. I use it whenever the whim hits me. I am terribad in it bu still end up giggling with delight. She's in that Mech, I swear it.

Seriously...who doesn't like blowing up other people in a mech covered with unicorns, rainbows and teddy bears? It doesn't get out of the mechbay as often as it should...so many mechs to level!

I play MW:O since mid-December 2013, so i never had a chance to get a Sarah's Jenner.
But, the story touched me, and also the reaction by the community and PGI to honer a fallen comrade and her family.

I also really like Jenners (if i pilot one), have them mastered and so.
So, i think it would be good honor to Sarah and her family to bring her Mech back on sale from time to time, and make sure we never forget our comrade.
The incomes could be donated as earlier to cancer research.
And, a collection of Jenners just doesn't feel right without this very special mech.

As i say in my sig:
PLEASE PGI, give newer players a chance to own a Sarah's Jenner
(it will stay there untill you do so....)

(Sorry for my bad english and greetings from germany )

They should continue to do community outreaches like this more often. This was an amazing chance for people (like me) who normally don't/can't donate to do so. I was more than happy to throw $10 (which, for a Jenner I love, mechbay, and to support a cause all at once) at the event.

It was an honor to do so, I love the Jenner, and it's great for everyone. I would also love to see a repeat of Sarah's donation drive for other people to get in on it. I also would love to see a continued push from PGI to support other such stories/events/donation drives in the future. It can even continue to be champion-like mechs that already exist in game (for ease of development costs). Can't say I'd support them all (I'm a broke little mechwarrior normally), but I'd certainly love to continue to try.

(PGI could even do a 50% of proceeds go to the charity drive. Then I'd feel it'd be a double win for me. I get a mech, and I have supported PGI and a worthy cause! Just a concept for future possible drives...)

That would be cool in the future. Every year during Sarah's birthday week, but the Jenner back on sale (only that week) and again make the donation to the Cancer Society.

This is the only way and time I would find it acceptible to sell it again. As before all proceeds should again go to the CCS. I'd have no problem with that.

Totally agree. And they could do some sort of on site tournament with entry fees that would again all go to the Cancer Society. They could get sponsors and such so that the over head would be minimal. I don't know what the tax laws in Canada are but they could probably write off that minimal overhead. Make it an annual thing people look forward to every year and can celebrate.

That one bright shining moment that the devs and the community got together to honor the memory of a little mechwarrior...

[Gamgan]

I would love it if it was a yearly thing, each version of the jenner should have a slight different color or a different number right after the letter, it would be an awesome tradition to honor her on her birthday. Plus having a flock of jenners in my mechbay would be fun

[Mavairo]

I support an annual fund raiser for cancer research using Sarah's Jenner.

Probably some of the best ten dollars I spent was getting Sarah's Jenner.
I've yet to use it so long after the end of the promotion, but the Jenner IS going to be my light mech. And Sarah's Jenner will hit front and center in that line up.

[Bellum Dominum]

Would be nice to do an anniversay of this event and raise money for this cause again in her name.

I have one and it's a great mech. I know it's not really any different than the regular JR7-D but even seeing the quirks adjusted on the Sarah's specifically to match her game style.

Say some bonuses to Narc?
Narc Speed +15%
Narc Cooldown +15%
Narc Range +7.5%
Medium Laser Cooldown +7.5%

Hope I'm remembering what it was I'd read about how she liked to play hers correctly.

As I recall, it was a streak loadout because she liked to lock on.

[Bellum Dominum]

You are probably right. So perhaps similar bonuses but with streaks. What specifically the weapon/mech bonuses would be so long as they reflected her style of play is all I was suggesting. Altho a mech that had some narc bonuses like that for the light pilots that like to narc would be nice to see and in the current environment (so many clan ecm's now) it'd be a nice boon for the IS side.

[Big Bertha 00]

I'd like to see PGI do this annually.

[Bellum Dominum]

Thought about bringing this up during the Town Hall.... really wish I would have.

Would be great if pgi did something along these lines with the urbanmech release. Maybe half proceeds from top tier package, something along those lines..

I think it's a nice thought, but OTOH maybe the family doesn't want a constant reminder...

that said I would totally buy one if it came round again.

The Jenner-S thing was one of the nicest things I've seen a game company do

[Mavairo]

Quirks for Sarah's Jenner would be fantastic.
Now that we have a working quirk system, it'd be perfect for a rerelease.

[ShadowFire]

It would be nice to distance it a bit from the Founders/standard Jenner Ds people own. Add a bit of Sarah's spirit to it via quirks. Just give it a few to mimic what ever was Sarah's favorite config. Personally I like my "pony" mech. I would like a true pink to go with it. The ones we have now are a bit muddy.

[EgoSlayer]

I was taking a break from MWO when this came out - I would certainly purchase it if it was offered again. It's a donation and I get something out of it, so win-win to me.

[uebersoldat]

Aww dangit, something in my eye reading this thread again. :'(

I'm rolling with her 'mech tonight for a few rounds. All hail Sarah!!!!!!
