It is currently undergoing reprogramming due to underlying structural issues with the code. So... Sometime between next month and the inevitable heat death of the universe.

[blackcatf]

The smart money's on "heat death."

[MagResPolarBear]

So, current patch notes seem to imply that 3/3/3/3 has not yet been reinstated. At least we shouldn't see 12man groups against PUGs though. Good work.

So I'm thinking of a "Knight" Mech Lance.

TLR1-O "Templar"
BL-6-KNT "Black Knight"
CRD-3R "Crusader"

What other 'Mech could I add to that lance to complete my Knight theme?

[blackcatf]

GRN-D-01 Grand Crusader?
EXC-B1 Excaliber?
LNC25-01 Lancelot?

I could have sworn there was a Lance but my copy of HeavyMetal Pro tells me I'm wrong...maybe I made it up on my own.

Also, there's the MLN-1A Merlin. It's not exactly along the lines of the "knight" theme, but maybe the knights need a wizard supporting them.

[MagResPolarBear]

I named one of my Jenners "Sir Robin", does that count?

[LoPanShui]

Lancelot it is! Thought I could do a Black Knight, Lancelot, Merlin and Excalibur for an Arthurian lance.

[blackcatf]

How about a Roman themed lance? Call it Contubernium Lance:

• CN9-D Centurion
  
• SGT-8R Sagittaire
  
• CES-3R Caesar
  
• EMP-6A Emperor

I'm sure there are more that could slide in there: CTF-3D Cataphract, JVN-10P Javelin, LGN-2D Legionaire, CTS-6Y Cestus, and EGL-1M Eagle for a few examples.

Eagle?

[LoPanShui]

The Eagle was the symbol of Rome!



What other Themes can we get?

How about the X-Men?

CP-10-Z Cyclops
WVR-6R Wolverine
Shadowcat
CLS-4S Colossus

[blackcatf]

Birds of Prey:

• TDK-7X Thunder Hawk
  
• SHD-5M Shadow Hawk
  
• PXH-3K Phoenix Hawk
  
• RTX1-O Raptor

Other options include: FLC-8R Falconer, TLN-5W Talon, NTK-2Q Night Hawk, FNHK-9K Falcon Hawk, FLC-4N Falcon, BH-K305 Battle Hawk, and, of course, EGL-1M Eagle. And, those are just the Inner Sphere 'mechs.

[MagResPolarBear]

There's actually a 'Mech called "Stealth"?

[LoPanShui]

STH-1D Stealth

Quote

Description

The Stealth is a heavy scout 'Mech that is in use by the Federated Suns and the Lyran Alliance. The 'Mech has a GM 315 XL Engine that allows the Stealth to move at speeds of 118.8 kph and the MASC system on board can push the 'Mech to 151.2 kph in short bursts. This amazing mobility is augmented by jump jets which the Stealth can use to jump up to two hundred and ten meters. The Stealth is also outfitted with a Cyclops-Beagle Sensory Active Probe that the Stealth can use to find hidden enemy units.
[edit]Weapons and Equipment

The Stealth is armed with an eclectic short range weapons arsenal. The primary weapons in this arsenal are a pair of Diplan M3 Medium Lasers which are backed up by a Shannon SH-60 SRM-6 and a Federated SuperStreak Streak SRM-2 which both allow the 'Mech to find weak spots in an enemy 'Mechs armor.

I am perfectly capable of finding the Sarna entry myself, but thank you LoPan. I just think the name is... kinda lame.

[blackcatf]

I didn't use it much, but I remember liking the 'mech okay. I think I usually swapped out the SRM-6 for a pair of Streak-2s (that was a pretty standard modification for me until the larger Streak racks were finally released for the Inner Sphere). I may have even had a lance of them that was a mix of BAP and ECM; of course in table top, ECM didn't prevent getting locks with LRMs or Streak SRMs, so it wasn't as critical for that.

[MagResPolarBear]

It didn't? What was it actually for?
