I'd rather have a Rifleman myself.

As a total oddball package you could do the ostmechs. Their status as unseen hasn't ever been confirmed.

Or bring back the Ol' Grand daddy himself. The Mackie.

Excellent Question that I knew would come up quickly.

No at this point with the new Map production process it would not effect the production of Maps or CW, however no I do not believe we could get this done by the same Dec 16th deadline. If there was interest we would need to meet and schedule internally but it would almost certainly need to slip into the new year guessing a date beyond that would be irresponsible at this point.

**Sigh** We both know I will buy any new IS pack too...

Pinky swear this will not delay Map, CW and please, please dropship mode...

[Alex Warden]

put Hermes II in it, and i might consider

If we make a poll of different packs, will you look at it?

[Fleeb the Mad]

If I were to offer a suggestion I'd make a package based off famous mercenary units. The Merc Corps needs some love and there are a few exotic mechs that could be used.

Though it'd be equally appropriate to have a Comguard set of Star League relics.

[Russ Bullock]

Some good thoughts in here.

No I dont think it would be appropriate to make the King Crab one of the mechs, the point here is that the past packages and promotions need to stay in place as I described and people already paid good money to get those items and achieve those brackets.

But otherwise I think if the 4 chassis were really interesting and had some sizzle to it, that would really make this feel worth while., There have been some good suggestions on chassis.

I can say work on Dropship mode is going well, I hope soon I will be allowed to confirm it's place in CW.

Like the Mackie. Am I the only one who wants to see the Progenitor Of BattleMechs in all its Glory?

[Kiiyor]

I'm keen for anything that does not adversely affect the arrival of the Crab as it stands (scuttles?).

I'm happy to give you money for IS mechs, if they are competitive with the Clans! Quirk them good!

[Domoneky]

Take that back, Sir!

And how would you add a mech that has an engine with negative weight?

Weights:
20 rated engine: 0.5 tons + gyro (1 ton)
25 rated engine: 0.5 tons.
30 rated engine: 1 ton
35 rated engine 1 ton
40 rated engine: 1 ton
45 rated engine 1 ton
50 rated engine: 1.5 tons
60 rated engine: 1.5 tons (Gyro stays 1 ton)
65 rated engine: 2 tons
70 rated engine: 2 tons
75 rated engine: 2 tons
80 rated engine: 2.5 tons
85 rated engine: 2.5 tons
90 rated engine: 3 tons.
95 rated engine: 3 tons.
100 rated engine: 3 tons. (Gyro is still 1 ton)
105 rated engine: 3.5 tons. (Gyro is 1.5 tons)
110 rated engine: 3.5 tons.
115 rated engine: (?? Can't seem to get this.)
120 rated engine: 4 tons. (Gyro is 2 tons.)
130 rated engine: 4.5 tons
140 rated engine: 5 tons (Gyro is still 2 tons.)

200 rated engine: 8.5 tons (Gyro is still 2 tons.)
210 rated engine: 9 tons. (Gyro is 3 tons.)

It keeps going.

Etc.

PGI did its own way of doing weight by having the heatsinks (which up to 10 weigh nothing) have weight instead, while the engine includes the weight of the gyros, to a point.

I would love the Mackie, but only if they kept the pelvic cannons.

[Belorion]

Mauler, Panther, Zeus, Urbanmech, Dervish are all ones people ask for a lot.

[Gas Guzzler]

I think its a great idea. Black Knight would be a great addition, as would the Mauler

[charov]

Since I'm a founder and an Overlord I'm not really concerned by this matter. However I could be interested in a new mech pack as long as the proposed mechs are iconic or long-waited. Otherwise I wouldn't buy it.

The most important thing is: do not delay the new maps or the CW because of that. If you want to sell new mechs, fine, but we desperately need more new contents.

That being said, I really love the new "PGI communication style". I bought the man'o'war package also because of that, Russ
Keep it up guys!

[Johnny Reb]

I want the Urbie, however, I seem to be the only constant proponent! This is the best chance yet for an Urbie!

[MCJomar]

My four picks would be:

Urbanmech - this would be a great community nod (and would finally clear the urbanmech thread from the top of the announcement page).

Honourable mention: Wolfhound, Panther, Mongoose

Crab - goes with King Crab please - and we already have the artwork.

Honourable mentions: Wyvern, Assassin, Vulcan, Dervish

Black Knight - an awesome energy heavy with good artwork.

Honourable mentions: Champion, Hatamoto-Chi/Charger

Zeus - looks great and people have been asking for it. It's an easy self-starter.

Honourable mentions: Mauler/Daboku,
