Is that a ******* ECM on top of the jester? If so, missilephobe 'mech to combat the LRM shitfest that is MWO of late?

If it had jumpjets and the above, I would marry it. Though I really doubt they would put an ECM on a hero mech.

But then again, this is PGI we're talking about...

Nope, that little radar dish is present on all the other versions.

Sorry to bust the hope bubble. =(

It's going to be a better Quickdraw, honestly.

6 E hardpoints, maybe a bigger engine cap, and dual AMS.

I doubt it will have jumpjets because that would completely invalidate the K2 chassis as an energy sniper.

Just think what would happen if a Hero mech would have ECM - lol. All the P2W ******* will crawl out of their holes and scream till our ears bleed....

If the jester has 6 energy hardpoints and dual ams it already nullifies the use of the K2. I carry 2 erppcs, 2 med lasers, std 300, ams, near full armor. I would replace that with the jester in the first place then get a smaller engine to fit 2 more lasers and another ams.(i love dual ams)

Someone actually uses K2 as energy weapon platform? ...wow didn't know that.

A lot do, but its comical to think the Jester will Ghost the K2, the ballistics are far more useful then all energy on a K2. Even with JJ an energy boat will not replace the K2, simple.

how exactly is ecm "still" p2w?
especially when it doesn't have missile hardpoints...
especially because it can be easily countered by BAP...
especially because you get hit by ppcs anyways...

[Malleus011]

How can ECM be pay-to-win, as it is working as intended, totally balanced, and not at all overpowered?

I know right? I thought the K2 was a Gaussboat.

And it has a huge head hitbox that the Quickdraws don't have.

My bet is that the thing will have JJs, but given the ballistic game we have now and given the heat penalties for energy boating, this thing won't go much far. Especially with that paint xD

Eh, just the fact that you'd have to pay real money to get the option to use it in the first place (on a Catapult). It's still effective, counters or no, but I wouldn't consider it P2W when a K2 could just stand next to anything else that already has access to ECM and reap the benefits anyway. Not like you'd lead the charge with a Catapult anyway usually.

Wouldn't be a Hero mech release without at least one P2W comment though.
