Looks similar to the FedSuns' symbol, but it's actually the insignia of the Capellan's 5th McCarron's Armored Cavalry. Instead of a sword overlaying a sun, it's a lance piercing the sun.

What Fox said. That is definitely not a Sword and Sunburst.


Doesn't look too bad for a Cappie mech either.

Unfortunately both mechs are owned by Harmony Gold and won't be appearing in this game unless someone buys out HG, lights them on fire, and then gifts the rights to those mechs over to PGI.

There is always the Hammerhands though!

It's been waaaay too long since we've been graced with this courtesy. Thank you. It reminds me of the old days and should continue more often.

This....ten times over.

I guess its too much to ask for fluff? :-D

I wonder if we will get the 4L or 6L variants which have ECM...

It is 5-tons too heavy, but I would buy that in a heartbeat. The Hellbringer will probably be my Warhammer once it is released, though, at least until they make IS autocannons burst-fire. It is 5-tons lighter, but very similar otherwise.

Great artwork as usual. Smiley face is a nice touch.

Can't wait to see the load outs / hard points. I had hoped the BJ-A was going to have Missiles, but now I get my 45 ton Missile toting medium mech after all.

The mech not this nothing more. The question and if it works as left or will be amended as did almost all the mech because the girls cry because they killed off? This game is only good with one phase is complete and never changed: P

Huh?

[Kjudoon]

Somebody's Commando's been taking his vitamins.

[Gumon Choji]

I see a lot of different faction tags on the same mech.

Also I hope it brings some cool fun to the game.

Wow. Now, THAT is a nice piece of old and scrappy Inner Sphere technology

We call it Classy and we like it that way. I will use classy mech to acquire my Clan mech, then I will leave them under the sun - so it would get better, like a wine.

Well strap me down and force me to pilot an Locust against a Daishi...

That fight would be kind of unfair to the Daishi in all honesty

Quick question for anyone from PGI- Has the Flea just been abandoned? It has been advertised as being implemented for a year and nothing has been said of it.

From what I remember, I think it was the implementation of MASC that is keeping it from being implemented. All of the inflated speeds of mechs is keeping MASC out of the game, which is one of the big reasons you would have a Flea in the first place is because of MASC. If they implemented MASC with current engine inflation it would have a top speed of like 180kph.

I think thats the reason. it is quite possible I am wrong.

[chewie]

Yay

Gonna get my 1R back after so long.

hmm, lets see.

1R. PPC Ra, Med Lsr La, Sml Lsr H, LRM5 Lt
1X. as above, drop Sml Lsr for MG.
3L. ER PPC Ra, Med Pulse La, LRM5 LT, Sml Lsr H

and the hero of course

[Will9761]

Are there any Cappellans who are happy to get their Faction Mech?

Now if only we could get a:

Longbow: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Longbow

War Dog: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/War_Dog

and Warhammer: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Warhammer

I wish we could but we wont ever see the Wammo or Long Bow as they are unseen and will never be reseen :-( Damn Harmony Gold.

And the Wardog is still 2 years off timeline wise.

[DONTOR]

This brings me back to closed beta and concept art releasing before the mechs.. it was a nice touch and I'm glad to see it again.

[Lexx]

That's the best looking concept art I have ever seen come from PGI.

I really hope they keep true to that image and don't make the arms and legs too fat.

Also, since it's only 45 tons, make it small. About the same height as the Blackjack.

I wasn't planning to buy the Vindicators, but if they look as good in game as they do in that concept art image then I might just have to add some to my mech collection!

JesterMWO, on 13 August 2014 - 12:21 PM, said:

Not going to happen. PGI stays somewhat true to their timeline. Only mechs available at the time of the start of the Clan invasion will be candidates, so probably no ECM.

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Vindicator

We will definitely get the VND-1R and perhaps the VND-1AA and 1X.

The 3L is stretching it, but possible since it's a 3051 design and doesn't use anything we don't already have in the game.

That just leaves the Hero, where PGI is free to do whatever they want. They have never put ECM on a hero mech before, because too many would cry "pay to win".

Everything after the 3L is right out since they are still years off before we can't have any of those variants yet.

I love the design a lot. And not for being super picky.

I was surprised about the legs and where the knees and back of the leg thing came from until i looked at this image. I like how this takes a little bit of all the vindicators and put it in one design while making it more like MWO.

Little sad that the giant gun arm isn't so giant now. but at least it looks nice and goes better with the rest of the design.
Was hoping for the "badass Sunglasses" that some of the images had, like this one. Of course, I don't think that translates well to the ugly Orange that all inner sphere cockpit glass that we get in MWO.

Great work with the re-designs as usual. Keep it up.
Edit: The Vindicator now looks like a pocket MWO Highlander.
