As it says in the title, tell us what mechs, not in the game, you wish PGI would add and why?

For me its the Dervish (55 tons) and Archer (70 tons, reseen because of Harmony Gold). Please PGI give us these great mechs.

I loved the plucky Dervish on the TT and the Archer is a beast too, hands down my favorite mech on the TT.

I know we don't need another 55 ton mech in the game, but why not? We have many of the other classic medium mechs in the game now (Thanks to the Phoenix pack), however in BT lore the medium mechs were the back bone of all the armies of the Inner Sphere, so we should have lots of medium options.

The Dervish has three variants PGI can make that fit the time line:
DV-6M (stock): 2xLRM10, 2xSRM2, 2xML, 5xJJ, STD 275, 10 HS, and 120 armor (TT value, would be 240 in MWO).

DV-6Mr: XL 275, 12 HS, 2xLRM15s, 2xSRM2, 2xML, more ammo and CASE -- this is the Star League era variant.

DV-7D: ES, FF, CASE, 2xSSRM2, 10 DHS, STD 275, 2xLRM10, 2xML. Hard points might not be different than the 6M

Archers have many options to fit the time line here are the 3025 and 3049 variants. The archer is also a classic mech from BT lore. We also do not have many 70 ton mechs.

ARC-2R (stock) : STD 280, 208 AF (416 in MWO), 2xLRM20, 4xML, 10 HS

ARC-2K: STD 280, 208 AF (416 in MWO), 2xLRM15, 2xLL, 12 HS

ARC-5R (FRR variant, based on the 2K): XL 280, 208 AF (416 in MWO), 2xLRM15+A, 2xERLL, 10 DHS, ES

ARC-5S : XL 280, 208 AF (416 in MWO), 2xLRM15, 2xSSRM2, 4xMPL, NARC, 10 HS

ARC-2W (possible hero variant as this is the Wolf's Dragoon's unique design): STD 280, 160 AF (320 in MWO), 2xLRM20, 2xSRM4, 2xML, 10 HS

ARC-5W (upgrade of the 2W): XL 280, 160 AF (320 in MWO), 2xLRM20, 4xSRM4, NARC, 10 DHS

Also the Archer has a custom variant for Jaimie Wolf of Wolf's Dragoons, mounting clan tech because... well... spoiler alert.... Wolf's Dragoons are from Clan Wolf. How awesome is that?!

Plus Morgan Kell piloted and Archer famously in the "phantom mech" incident. The Archer is as classic to Battletech as the Marauder and the Atlas.

[Bilbo]

All of them.

[Zervziel]

Crab and King Crab. Why? The game needs more crabs that's why.

Zeus
Devastator
Panther

For Clans, I want:

Arctic Cheetah

Hellbringer or Nova Cat
Probably Executioner, because there aren't really many other assault Omni choices in 3050...

[ChapeL]

Shadow cat and Ice Ferret

[Wolfways]

For stock matches: All of them, but especially the Mad Dog and Stone Rhino.

Current full customization matches: Don't care, not much point.

[Spheroid]

Bushwacker

[Bajas]

Thug and Mauler.

[Marmon Rzohr]

I would like to see the Thanathos, the Uziel, even though they are quite far away in the timeline and the Gargoyle.

AND. THE. URBANMECH. WHY ? BECAUSE.

Edited by Marmon Rzohr, 26 June 2014 - 12:23 PM.

[stjobe]

But after that, all of them. I'd really love to see a Wasp or a Stinger (and yes, I know. Fsck HG).

Edited by stjobe, 26 June 2014 - 12:29 PM.

[Mcgral18]

The Piranha, a 20 tonner.

Which has 12 MGs, and 3 lasers. It would be very fun mech.

[Clit Beastwood]

Elemental. It would be... Hella Mental.

I apologize for the above statement.
