The topic title says it all... though I'm sure it has at least crossed many minds, perhaps even been posted before by now... I just feel that a Raven hero with said name would be awesome.
Something with Jump Jets... maybe 4 energy 1 missile.... or 2 energy 3 missile....?

No ECM.... or.... maybe.... ECM....???

In any case, regardless of the hardpoints and loadout.... this should definately happen!

[DONTOR]

agreed, although if its going to have ECM and JJs, which I think it should... the hardpoints should be a little more rounded. Maybe 2 E, 2 B, 2 M. seems fair enough.

[Destoroyah]

If the nevermore did have JJ and ECM it would probaly have the 265 max engine. The trick with the loadout is to design it in such a way it doesn't seem like a better direct copy of the other ravens.

I'd say a 2E 2B 2M setup yes it gots 1 weapon more then any other raven. Where it deverges from the others is all the weapons are torso mounted so it can't take advantage of the arm flexability and the missle tubes would be retricted to 2 for srms 2 and 4 and 3 tube for srm6, lrms would all be 5 tube limit so all missle ranks above the lowest ranks of each category will have to volley fire. As for the set up probaly be 1 missle and 1 energy each side torso with the 2 ballistic in the CT.

A paintjob with dark colors and maybe the phrase Qouth The Raven... on one side of the nose and NEVERMORE on the other side. Maybe a scratch mark on one side of the cockpit like it got scratched by a talon wopuld be cool too.

I would buy this.

I LOVE this idea. His skin could be something similar to the snake pattern, but in feathers, all in black and blue, grey legs.... Should be beauteful!

6 MG's, and nothing else. Because MG's are the best weapon in the game. /hint sarcasm

I heard the 6 MG Spider does unimaginable things to the back of an Atlas!

The Raven Does NOT deserve a Hero Version, Personally, I believe it should be the start of a new series "The Villain" and the Nevermore design looks perfect, though perhaps it should take -20% C-bill penalty, after all it is a Villain! But as a variant to the Champion Mech's +10% XP bonus, I'd give it a +40% GPX factor, as Villains should have all the skill to slither away to strike again another day!

Just add a little more armor to the legs and fix the hit boxes ... viola HERO RAVEN.

Necro aside, the Raven should have a hero just like any other mech. Are you still clinging to bottled-up hatred of the mech from the lagshield days? Those days are long passed, the Raven is now "meh" as far as lights go, with Jenners and Firestarters being the top dogs.

Conversely we could go a different route:
Left Arm: 1 Energy
Left Torso: 1 Missile
Right Torso: 1 Missile
Right Arm: 1 Energy
ECM: Yes
AMS: Yes
Jump Jets: 4
Max Engine: 325

So we have a highly flexible and fast design that is not overly too powerful.

...Except that a 19 ton engine in a 35 ton mech wouldn't allow any offensive armament much beyond harsh language, especially if JJs, ammo and ECM need to be wedged in there too.

ya know... I dont think there is currently any 4 ballistic 2 missle mechs out there is there?

4 machine gun, 2 streaks, ecm, jump jets.

It would be pretty fun, totally reliant on ammo but pretty fun and very unique I think.

That assumes the player goes for both the max engine and jump jets when customizing their mech.

[Flyby215]

I would love to see a hero Raven. If one hero mech were to ever have ECM, I think the Raven would be it since it is the premiere electronic warfare mech in its time.

On the other hand, a Hero mech with ECM, just imagine the flood of posts about 'Pay-2-Win'.

where can i buy it ?

[A Man In A Can]

[kesuga7]

don't expect a ecm hero for many years

perhaps

1 energy , 2 missle , 4 ballistic?
No ECM with a limit of 2 jumpjets



Torso weapons would makke it harder to use over the 4x?
or arm mounted weapons because having only 1 energy hardpoint
