Why use Streaks when you can get a 60 point alpha with SRM-6's?

I think the more distracting thing is whoever cut the image out forgot to cut out the centers of the tie down points.

Nice to see a Kurita patron mech. Disappointed it once again bumped off the Flea. A mech that might have actually been fun to play in a game that increasingly isn't as much fun to play any more.

So, if they put in the 18, 19, and 20 the 18 and 19 have the same default hardpoints (the CT NARC swapped for an SRM6).

Minimum Hardpoints (tubes):
18: LA 2M(6+5) 1E, CT1M(6), RT 1M(6), RA 1M
19: LA 2M(6+5) 1E, CT1M(1), RT 1M(6), RA 1M
20: LA 2M(6+5) 1E, CT1E, RT 1M(6), RA 1M

As you can see only the CT changes, so I suspect all variants are getting 1 additional hardpoint each as follows:

18: CT: 2M
19: RA: 2E
20: CT: 2E

Most likely next month.. unless they ninja it out like the first time PGI did it.

[Sephlock]

I don't suppose there's any chance of a release this Tuesday ? I need some target practice, and a sudden influx of mediums would be just the thing...

[Booran]

I'm confused.
The Orion, Flea and other mechs have been announced way back, but announcing the Kintaro will delay them by default? How does that work? Have PGI said when Kintaro will be available? It's just an announcement of a new mech, not the next in line to be released.
(unless I'm missing something)

They are adhering to the L>M>H>A pattern they've been doing since the very beggining. The thing is, the last batch lacked a light, because the only candidate was Flea and they didn't have the MASC ready, nor a suitable replacement. So they continued with Blackjack>Quickdraw>Victor. We're now in the second pack without a light as, again, MASC is not working yet and they have no replacement ready on hand, thus we're getting Kintaro this month, Orion the next one and who knows what then except for the Phoenix mechs.

[Booran]

Ok, then I understand.
But I've seen people saying "where is my orion *rageface*" when it's clear that this is just a heads-up that kintaro will be coming SOMEDAY.

[Corbon Zackery]

Look its a Thorn with no MASC.
