Are we getting a Zeus mech or is it one of the Unseen if I recall correctly ty

[DI3T3R]

Isn't unseen.

Some have argued that it is too similar to the Orion in terms of weight, mobility and armament.

I definitely think we need it in game nontheless, because it is an iconic Lyran Mech - and one of my overall favourites.

I want PGI to add every IS mech they possibly can, especially the Banshee, and in the future Akuma, and Albatross. every mech can be made a little different due to the quirks they add.

[DI3T3R]

We have enough Mechs for now. I'd prefer some background- and campaign-feeling.

[Deadmeat313]

Noooo!

Steiner still need the Zeus and Banshee.

Liao needs the Vindicator (and UrbanMech )

Davion needs the Valkyrie, Wolfhound and Enforcer. And Dervish.

Kurita needs the Panther ( - and Whitworth,FWIW)

FRR need what Kurita needs.

Only Marik are pretty well covered right now.

If they're going to make certain 'Mechs cost less for certain factions and certain planets valuable because they produce certain 'Mechs, adding as many 'Mech as possible, including the Zeus, (which is by the way the sexiest 'Mech from the 3025 era which could only be made sexier with some of Alex's magic) would be good for the game.

I would agree with this, except for the parenthesized statement - the Marauder is the greatest (e.g. "sexiest") 'Mech from the 3025 era (or any other era).

FTFY. The Wolfhound was created by the Kellhounds and is a Steiner Light Mech.

ZEUS!

[Zeusus]

I support the addition of the Zeus.

[TychoTheItinerant]

They'd need to mess with the "canonical" size of the Zeus' cockpit/windscreen, because in most BT art and in a lot of the games the Zeus has appeared in the cockpit has looked to me like a big fat "SHOOT HERE" sign. I would go so far as to say that the Zeus' cockpit is on par with the Cataphract's as far as sheer size.

[Valensoul]

yes hitbox would need to be fixed but yeah bring on the bad boy mechs so we can spray and pray not to get hit lol real men don't run and hide in mwo they take hits like a man and know how to please their women lol

I thought the Wolfhound was one of Banzai's creations field tested by the Hounds (and actually voluntold to test by Steiner)....

Appearance-wise, the canonical Zeus is largely just a rehash of the canonical BattleMaster.





It would/should actually be unsurprising, IMO, if a MWO Zeus looked a whole lot like (and is about the same size as) a MWO BattleMaster with mirrored ON1-M Orion arms.

Ah yes, indeed you are correct! I should have put the Federated Suns down for Valkyrie and Javelin.
