I'd imagine it will be out next Tuesday. At least that would be the regular patch schedule. If it were going to be released today, it wouldn't say "coming soon to mech lab".

[color=#000000] On the battlefield, Van Kleven uses his Atlas, which he calls the Boar's Head, like a 100-ton scout. He stomps all over the field, creating general terror in the enemy lines and almost always overheating his 'Mech. He has won several land grants, but quickly loses the titles when his 'Mech overheats and shuts down on the battlefield.[/color]

Am i the only one who misread that last bit as "but quickly loses his ******* when his 'Mech overheats"?

Edit: Forgot about the censoring, I meant 'quickly loses his word for chesticles that starts with T'.

No energy hardpoint in the mouth for a flamer head location? Not even tusks?

stupid whiners in this thread. This allows me to continue my Atlas pokemon strategy of "Gotta collect em all". Atlai since CB and never going back.

Hey PGI since you won't let me paint ma dang founder for well forever, then just:


PS - the other fist better say "WAR".

this is much cooler than BIG DEAL

Sound op to me . I know my RS with 4 large and Gause has about 5-10 tons to spare depedning on engine . Extra 2 medium lasers or 1 large is pretty good . Definetly interested.

Tried the same build for some time, only think you grant on this is even more heat, an alpha would almost shut you down. And it will be hot hot to fire continuous. Only thing you acquire is crit buffing.

Hero Atlas should have been here a long time ago so its absolutely welcome. But it must be 1x missle, 1x balistic with those 6 energy hardpoints, so it should be ok.

Someone two months ago in a drop asked me if there was ever going to be a Hero Atlas. I replied "Most likely right before they implement weight limits on drops"... Hit the nail on the head with this one.




That being said...going to get my wallet...

[Urdnot Mau]

Next hero mech going to be an assault mech? Curious, isn't it ? Why not a light mech ? it has been ages since we don't see a light hero and next month we'll be getting the Locust.

Lights - 1 Hero mech
Mediums - 3 Hero mechs
Heavies - 5 Hero mechs
Assaults - 4 Hero mechs

Ironically... the weight classes that have the most Hero mechs are the one's wich are the most expensive.

not bad, but not enough ac20 ammo.
I run a similar design, though with a Gauss, as the heat is much more manageable, and the range of the Gauss makes it a great weapons platform.
If I did run an AC20, it would probably be like
AS7-RS
or this (which I might actually run, now, for a change)
AS7-RS

I feel PGI it's hesitant to release a big ballistic Assault specially when it means a large part of the Tryhards will go for the 2x Ac 20 without drawbacks mech.

Still i'm curious for the exact ballistic and missile hardpoints in the torsos but y expect 1of each total

Which is why I'll never see a Devastator !!
