Guilty. I've also called for Ymir http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Ymir

Hammerswarm can hate all he wants. The Mackie fits current meta perfectly, especially the definitive MSK-9H which features an ac20, 2xppc, and 2xmlas.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see everything get in eventually including his crustaceans, I'd just like to see the OG stuff get some love first

It's not hate it's a question of development resources and game roles The mackie and the atlas have the same game role with the mackie being a direct downgrade to the atlas. The King Crab has a completely different role as an area denial mech, 1 stop for killing people coming through a choke point.

The YMIR would be a better option to add than the mackie because the other 90 ton option the HGN is a jumpy sniper role.

THE MECH IS JUST SOOO UGLY!!!

you think the KCG is ugly? the original design was a bit wonky, but the majority of those old mech designs were.

And in my opinion, Alex's sketch of the KGC looks better than any mech in MWO at this time. even the clan mechs.

I would definitely purchase a King Crab.:-)

I know a lot of people have vowed not to give PGI any money until they can gain back our trust. With that being said though, I bet PGI would make a lot of money with the King Crab seeing how many people want it really really badly.

It would probably be one of the very few Hero mechs I would actually buy... (price depending.)

aye, methinks the only hero mechs I would buy would be for King Crabs, Nova Cats, Krakens, or Archangels

Agreed on the King Crab. Novacats, not so much but I can see that. Krakens... never heard of them. And it's going to be a long wait for Archangels, unless they speed up the time line or remove the time line completely...


I do wonder what the King Crab hero would look like? I could see it with arm mounted energy instead of ballistics, making it more energy boat (with missile support) than AC mech it currently would be... (Just theorizing.)

I so want PGI to put in Operation Cancer, I really, really do... I can see it now.

PGI: Hey guys, for this patch we are releasing Operation Cancer mech pack with the Crab and King Crab, so get your melted butter ready because the future is crabs.

What MWO would look like for the next month or so...

Crabs for everyone!

Another slow lumbering utility mech without a clear purpose or role in combat. Less armament than an atlas with the similar large lumbering body type. I wouldn't shell out 9-15m c-bills per.

The mackie is the perfect illustration of why the king crab would be a good choice for the next assault mech. The mackie offers no further utility over an atlas except that it's gun arm is mounted at shoulder height.

The mackie would be a joke without a complete hard point overhaul. 1 AC 10, 1 PPC, 2 Medium Lasers. My BJ 1 puts out the same Alpha, and moves faster.

not that it would be better than crabs of course but it could fill a niche role in the assault class.

If I were to encounter this mech in game, I wouldn't let it anywhere near my D-DC.

Just because they are your friend, they may still give you crabs.

[Will9761]

Well, crabs are pretty delicious. Just get some team mates to help you kill that damn thing with some flamers, salvage the chassis, remove that armor, and you got yourself a tasty treat.

I wasn't talking about those kind of crabs, I was talking about the OTHER kind of crabs...

I think that the word "Demand" should be replaced with "Request". Demand is such a harsh word... Expression "You attract more flies with honey than with vinegar" can apply here.
