I'd like to plan some builds.

[Alaskan Nobody]

1-2 Ballistic
3 Missile if I remember right

I wasn't around for that, but I remember several people talking about it.

[Dracol]

Didnt it replace the Yen Lo's laser with misslie hardpoints? I maybe totally wrong.

[Lootee]

I believe it was:

1 ballistic in the right arm with 10 crit slots free
2 missile points in the left torso

Maybe it was 3M, but I know for sure it was at least 2.

[El Bandito]

Protect that right arm as if it is your daughter's virginity. Cause it sucks as a zombie.

[Carrie Harder]

Hopefully it gets inflated to more than just 5 hardpoints, which is especially vital because it has zero energy.

[Nothing Whatsoever]

I've seen some old stuff showing 3 B and 2 M

We'll we won't want it to obsolete the Yen Lo Wang so we will be motivated to leave it to Ballistic and Missile.

Let Yen Lo Wang have the long living energy hard points in the CT.

[A Man In A Can]

3 Missile hardpoints Left Torso
2 Ballistic hardpoints Right Arm (and the ability to mount an AC20)
1 AMS Right Torso (might get another like the Vindi AA)
0 Energy in the CT
275 rated engine max (same as the other 200 engine stock Cents)

~ maybe these were flipped 3B 2M ... I dunno but some combo of the two

Will the AH have its old layout of 2B + 3M hardpoints? The C-Bill variants have 6 hardpoints each, so the AH should at least match that (i.e. add another missile?). Since it lacks energy entirely, a bonus hardpoint or two might even be justified (because having backup energy is really really important on mechs).

[Roland]

It was basically a cool combination of a hunchback prime and sp variants, capable of caring an ac20 with 3 srm6's.

[Bhael Fire]

I was 1 energy hardpoint in it's head.

And that's it.

It was fweeeking awesome.

one more reason to ignore the silly zombie mentality, run and XL and pack some guns.

[Lootee]

I wish they would give it a giant engine perk instead of additional hardpoints. Stuffing a 350XL in it and running around at 118kph+ with nothing but an AC/20 was hilarious.

Are they really reintroducing the variant they ninja removed so they could sell it back to people as the first Hero mech?

[Khobai]

its 3B and 2M, I was wrong before

would you prefer it gone forever?

Because I am happy to be getting mine back.

Also, regardless, the YLW and AH are very different animals.

It's a reward for anyone who has purchased MC in the past year, so a lot of us are getting it on the free.

Well at least they aren't selling it back to us a second time I suppose. I never ran cents back then, and had no particular interest in the AH, I just remember feeling like that was a rather questionable move at the time for the people that had owned it, beta or not.

it indeed was.

But like many things, that was then, this is now. And I doubt we'll ever know if that particular marketing stunt was an IGP or PGI brainchild. Being that marketing is the Publisher's bailiwick, I want to simply leave it there, but it really doesn't matter to me at this point, as PGI has made plenty of mistakes, both legit and well..not so much. Can't change them, so can and will simply focus on now and the future.

So far, IGP Free has been kind of pleasant. Hopefully it stays that way.
