[TinFoilHat]

Was expecting a "Clan Buster" pack to be announced two/three months after Wave 2 arrived anyway, so yeah, as long as it's full of new Mechs I'd go with it.

[Alex Warden]

yea, Zeus would probably be a seller for most longtimers...

Please do, as in the end those would be the true Project Phoenix `Mechs.

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

This would make an excellent gift `Mech to any level Founder as it kind of goes with the whole start of all things mentality. Sure it would suck lol, but well people want an Urbie

The following would make an excellent package:
Wasp - Light
Phoenix Hawk - Medium
Crusader/Warhammer/Marauder - Heavy
Cycolops - Assault

[Domoneky]

The Urbie is all Powerful. That's why people want it.

If they could do the unseen they may as well do them all. The big 12. Of course that would be more than 80 but people would complain. Or they could do 3 packs and spread it out.

First thought, if you take a "stab" at HG you will have our support, we would follow you to stab them Roman Senate style.

Second thought have you ever considered dealing directly with Studio Nue / Satelight / Kawamori Shouji? I know there is plently of lost love between the creators and HG.

Heh, Russ just made the implication they are working on various IS mechs. Close in design since the post. At least, close enough to put into development if need be.

I already qualify for the Crab but I would be happy to drop money for a set of new IS mechs. An $80 drop will all depend on what mechs are going to be made and I would love it if you could also provide a similar bonus items system of hanging items and camos for the main Houses.

For me dropping money for a package is also a demonstration of support for the game to help keep your doors open and a future investment for bigger and better features.

I would not expect a December deadline as I believe that work on new maps and CW should take precedence.

Cheers!

For those wanting the 50t Crab, there is literally only one way to make them different hardpoint-wise.

CRB-27 = 2E RA, 2E LA, 2E CT, 1E HD, 1 AMS

CRB-27b = 1E RA, 1E LA, 1E CT, 1E HD, 1 AMS, ECM

CRB-20 = 2E RA, 2E LA, 1E CT, 1E HD, 2 AMS

The other way is to make the 27b unnaturally faster than the others, kinda like the Wolvie 6K.

If this is acceptable, then sure, throw it in the list of potentials.

So I think if we were to offer a package for IS players to get in order to qualify for the King Crab I think it would need to be a new 80$ package with new IS chassis.

This is exactly what you need to do, if you are going to do anything at all. Just add a clarification to the post saying that qualifying for the King Crab will continue for any max-level pre-order bundle purchases made during the second year (basically, until Sept. 17, 2015). For that matter, apply that same qualification deadline extension to the AS7-S and the CN9-AH. The Vulture, having a much more specialized set of requirements, and having both packages still available for sale for some time yet, is fine as it is.

I'd love to see a ComGuard package, or a Counter-Invasion package, or something of that type.

CG pack: Mongoose, Crab, Black Knight (or Shootist), Spartan (only ComGuard assault I could find for the timeline other than the King Crab, which is of course separate, given that it's what all this is on account of; I'd suggest a Pillager but I don't think there are enough variants).

CI pack: Javelin (due to the 11A), Bushwacker, Penetrator, Annihilator.

Assuming I could find the money, I'd buy either or both of those packs.

I´d Buy a 80 Bucks Pack instantly!

But please the CW first.
Then a IS reinforcement Pack.

Greetings Phex

EDIT: Russ +1 for the new comunication manner!

You do realize this applies for the Black Knight aswell right?

[Karl Streiger]

Why another package? Isn't it enough?

The King Crab is not an exclusive content - so everybody will be able to buy one.
OK truth is I don't want to pay another 80 - 120 bucks for new content - and if you bring the Zeus I'm forced to do this.

They can still buy the Warhawk package - (yeah - pure IS players - of course - its one of the cheapest excuses - next to (don't nerf Clans because in the lore they are better)

Considering the Lore I hate every Great House - and every Clan - so I should not play MWO at all right?

But please if you consider new mechs - don't use the "LORE" Clan Busters they are complete BS - builds

[Elizander]

Make something with double shoulder cannons. Like the K2 except maybe with Ballistic slots and non-chicken-legged.
