So basically a jump-capable IS version (read: cooler running) of the laser vomit Stormcrow? Yes please.

My streak is over....

I've bought every hero mech there was to-date.

I think I am skipping this one....

If people miss those Awesomes back in beta you can make this one run at 110 kph with 6 wuBwuB medium pulse lasers (just make sure it has the range module) and jump jets. Awsomes don't jump. :lol:

Seems like vid production has stopped on this site.

Or they could reduce the MC price. Heroes are currently priced 75 MC/ton. How about dropping that to 50 MC/ton (or some other amount) for the tier 1 mechs?


I don't see PGI reducing the MC price on heros, that would cut into their profits. They all seem to go on sale eventually and people could wait fpr a sale to get one.

Giving the DHS and Endo steel, ect for free wouldn't work either. PGI would have to either have them on the mech already (making it a non canon hero) or do special programming to make it free for that mech only. (too complicated)

What I think would work with these level 1 tech heros would be to have them come with a c-bill package. Sell the hero for the regular MC price, but toss in enough c-bills along with it to do the needed upgrades.

Adding c-bills wouldn't potentially cut into their profits like reducing the price, or require any extra coding. I think it would be a good incentive to buy these older hero mechs, since the extra c-bills required to upgrade them is what players are unhappy with.

I'm personally not interested in this hero, even though I do like my Griffons. I'm not a fan of energy only mechs, unless they get perks like the Awesome has. I can see this being a good mech for 3025 stock matches.

All that heat and 13 H/Ss. Awesome! Even if you go double it's still going to overheat like an overheating thing. Just as well it earns +30% cause that's all going to get eaten up modifying it to be (slightly) usable.

I'm guessing videos take time, therefore money, therefore are an unnecessary expense?

So is this the GRF-1N Sparky (apparently not according to original post) or the GRF-1E2 Sparky 2.0 (apparently not by load out and not 2.0 in name? I'm confused?

"-General Kala, Flash Gordon approaching.
-What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching? Open fire! All weapons! Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!"

(always from the Queen song and the movie)

Ha ha, if i play that mech, i will put this music in repeat mode!! I mean, in repeat mode ALL THE TIME!!!

GAh HA HA HAA!!!

Hey guys, we need a new warhorn, when Sparky kill a mech there is the "FLAAAAASH, HA haaaaaaaa....." from the song!!

That is my dream...

If I ever get it. It will be red/black/goldish. Flash Gordon colors for sure.




Great minds think alike... :D

Previous marketing was done by IGP. I'm guessing the contract for the video was with IGP and not PGI.

I dig it!

Didn't like the SIB for it's low engine rating, and the ANANSI for it's all but nothing really hardpoints, but this one i'll definitely buy. Was worth waiting for the Hero to avoid the silly GRF-1S.

I like your idea of slapping on a c-bill package with the mech rather than reducing the price. Thinking about it now, having variable pricing on hero mechs could open up a shitstorm of trouble for PGI because it could be free to interpretation of which mech should perform well and which shouldn't.

Adding a c-bill package as an easy route to upgrade your newly acquired mech would be fine.

wow I like it, would play it like that this way it would be the small bother of my catapharact.
Or maybe as a bit faster and cooler variant sounds like fun too. Maybe not the most efficient thing, but who cares xD
