yeah, no interest in the Firestarter 'Mech at all. I'd buy the Wolfhound with real money, but the Firestarter chassis was always one I looked at as not only looking stupid but being a terrible 'Mech.

Oh well.

Still...I must admit there have been times when I've said "I wonder what a commando with jumpjets would play like." Guess I may have to find out.

That'd be more like a Javelin, which would be an awesome addition to the light 'Mech game. Not sure exactly what a Firestarter brings to the table as it is pretty much the 7F with machine guns.

I am sorry my friend but for some reason..your image has more contrast .. eh

[DocBach]

wonder if there's going to be a balance change to flamers to make them not useless to help push sales?

Replace them with Medium Lasers in the mechlab. Done.

I'd really love to see someone use flamers as the primary weapon on this mech and do well. I'm sure it'll be fine if you equip it with any lasers, but it seems that the whole purpose of the mech is to use flamers.

That defeats the whole purpose of it being a firestarter.

[Utilyan]

If those were flamer only hardpoints, I think I'd still get this mech.

Still, looking at the picture, there are only 4 energy slots. That is a really weakly armed 35 ton mech. Where is all the rest of the weight? I mean, I can pack 4 medium lasers, and 2 streaks on my Jenny with max XL engine...There's 4 tons missing somewhere at least....maybe...ECM?

Ok, scratch that...if you look closely at the ST you can see two MG sticking out. Russ has said its 4E/4B with JJ...so no its really awesome. Change out the flamers for med lasers and it will give the jenner a run for its money.

Yeah because the pictures ALWAYS represent a fully loaded mech and not one loaded to match a lore variant. C'mon, I'm willing to bet there's a couple more hardpoints not represented by a stock equipped mech variant.
