It's a canon mech loadout iirc, you get what the lore says.

A more realistic MC cost wouldn't hurt (instead of flat rate per ton)

oh i understand that, it was more meant as a line upf or the cost question.

if they are going to charge the same levels for a hero with no upgrades than thats pretty F'd up or at least in those cases they should throw a bonus in like free mechbay with it to offset the added cost without ugprades
or just screw the lore and give it at least DHS

this makes me hopeful for the grasshopper. if they give a griffin 6 energy hardpoints (and their not in places like the CT or head) maybe the hopper will have a decent suite of hardpoints.

Well, considering it's literally a BJ-3 with lower arms with crazy articulation and the benefits of the Griffin design (crazy torso twist+nice engine cap)... it would put the Vindicator to shame.

So you develop a Hero Mech that is all energy hardpoints, yet you cant provide Double Heatsinks for it, especially since people are shelling out real money for this. Plus no Endosteel either? Who is building the mechs? IKEA?

Hey,

i am real fan of the Griffin 3M. Actually we used them competition games like RHOD, because it is a very nice mech.
I have on my griffin 3M more than 800k xp, because i just love playing it...

I was wondering if there will ever be a griffin hero mech. And now here it is.
I was so looking foreward to this day!!!! :wub:

:blink: I look at the hardpoints, and i just asked WTF?
What skilled player would ever use that mech?
I just can say i am very disappointed... but i guess that´s because i was hoping for my most loved mech to get nice hero.
U couldn´t fail more...
I am sad now and will log off... :huh: hoping this is just a bad dream.....

After just yesterday I decide to not spend another dime of MC, they go and drop a hero for my favorite mech to pilot.

That's so... wrong.

Can't believe they went all energy. No Missile, No Ballistic.

Bummer.

BJ-3 is a good comparison.

I looked at it and thought "Great, another DOA hero mech".

Then I built this: SPARKY

Could also swap the lplas out for regular llas and go up to XL360 without dropping any heat sinks or the mediums -- SPARKY

Almost makes me want to buy my Griffins back to grind them out. Almost.

Might make a decent zombie mech with a standard engine. I literally don't see enough griffins to know if they get killed through CT before their sides go out or not though.

Why? Faster laserboats are pretty useful. Could have been a poptart with the high mounted Torso mounts, or a good light hunter with a 360XL in it, or a fun Wub boat with 6 MPLs.

Then again, most competitive players thought he Griffins were going to be junk in the first place.

Edit:
This looks scary: SPARKY

Most "competitive" players care only for how quickly their mechs can core out an enemy CT in a zerg rush.

Or how good of a poptart it can be.

No DHS, Endo, FF or XL engine out of the box...?!

That's pretty rich for an MC-only Mech
