So, what will be done to "desynchronize" this build?

Focus on the right torso and soon enough you're only dealing with 1 ppc..

or nothing if it's got an XL

Look on the bright side, they're thinking about giving you crabs.

And he's gonna need a pretty good doctor after that.

I would love to have the Crab and King Crab too.

When I open up sarna for Banshee, this image is looking straight at me.

Whats funny is that when I saw that pic of the Banshee I was thinking the exact same thing, ruined my whole day.

Nothing?

Not saying I like it just that it's the most likely answer.

Most likely cause they are not linked enough to a Specific House? Or Limited Configs!

They are linked to the Wisdom of Blake.... and I believe the KingCrab has more as enough configs...
the main problem with the King Crab is the - record sheet:
PGI has to remove the hand and lower arm activator..... or they have to allow to split the crits for the AC 20.... that are two impossibilities at once - (i think the YLW - was the only moment they have shown some bravery)

I for one hope it has spread out points so it can mount something absurd like 3x AC 20s. That'll help tremendously in swaying the devs in fixing things. Can you imagine the horror of those?

Is ComStar an WoB a faction? If they are then Yeah lets have them. If not... I am not against working them into the Lyran arsenal!

hm i think later King Crabs are indeed Lyran material - when you look at the KGC 0009

But WoB was a part of ComStar before the leadership was murdered and a Steiner took command (only another reason - why the ruling familys of the Inner Sphere deserves special attation of a firing squad)

because we are talking about failings .... the Banshee HeroMech is P2W.... it has one additional finger on each hand.....complett off balance.

im actually looking foreward to the one with 4 ac slots in a torso. 2 ac2 + 2uac5. Ya its putting all your eggs in one basket and without JJ it will probly be meh. But still coming around a corner and having all that dakka will be amazing.

I really should be pushing to have King Crabs added. Since the KC-005r Is my design. I submitted it for a Customize Contest. For those of you familiar with MegaMech hat design was an Upgrade to BeeRockxs KC for the BattleCorps.

What do you get when you take the torso of an Awesome, the shoulder pads of a Battlemaster and the elongated body of the Trebuchet? The Banshee!

The fact idiots overpay for 15 damage?


Or the fact 2 UAC 5 and 2 AC2 will be better and far more deadly with a pair of LL to boot.

The list goes on and on.

This. You could probably make this thing a bit better but this is waht you're going to see out there:

Let's just see how this will work out, before we bring out the nerfhammer. At worst, this mech is a joke, since the dakka is all on the left torso. At best, it invalidates most of the Atlases. Something will have to fail.

Honestly it really doesnt invalidate Atlases. Its basically the same, just a tad quicker by like 2 KPH which is inconsequential in all reality. The balistics are low, the arms are low, its twisting speed is reduced by 10%. The Banshee is a mediocre assault chassis at best by no means will it replace an Atlas. The AS7D and DDC are superior to the Banshee hands down. Heck, there are heavy mechs that are a far better choice then the Banshee.

Someone with a Twitter account tell Bryan that we told him what we would like to see in a subscription back in 2012, possibly as early as Dec 2011.
