Blame FASA for not giving the Dragon JJs in the TableTop board game.

Dragons instead by Canon are incredibly stable mechs. Once PGI decides to develop this game or give back Collisions, expect the dragon to be VERY hard to knock over / receive less weapon knock.

You guys are dreaming. :P IF we ever see properly calculated collision damage, we'll see it without KD.

Dragons were also designed to be high speed long range harrassers not pop tarters. they make very nice striker mechs

Its a shame there's only 2-3 maps that are big enough to take advantage of this

Hi Zagibu. There not alone, there's also the Sea Dragon; poor thing doesn't breath fire either.

I've always loved Jumpjets on mechs. I put them on every mech when I get the chance. DFA, Throws off other people's aim, and they are just fun to use. I generally try to play in the air whenever I can in any game I play, because I don't like getting just stuck with x and y axis, and it's a little more difficult to play a game when you have to look up/down (I love it for the challenge, and I sometimes exploit this mentality on people in other games for S***s and giggles)
With that said, I'll be incredibly surprised if they add jumpjets to Dragons, even if I think they are one of the most unthreatening mechs in the game currently (not going to go into all the reasons why right now though). I'll probably buy something in celebration if they do, then question why they did it.
Personally I wish all mechs had the ability to use jumpjets, I can dream right?

This is true, but generally they fly anyways, because they are supposed to be "mystical".

I, for one, will not be satisfied until it's proven to me that my Commando is, in fact, ONLY wearing pants.

What happens if the Dovahkin (Dragon Born from The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim) Destroys the mech dragon? Does he turn into a transformer, a mech, or a mechwarrior lol.
