OK with IS $80 pack
Should be new mechs
Suggest Comstar Reinforcement Pack
We've been too focused on the great houses and clans. Those of us who've read the novels know Comstar is fully responsible for the victory at Tukayyid that halted the Clan advance. Why not give Comstar some credit by offering a mech pack dedicated to Comstar mechs?

All in all try'n to do something so that as many people as possable get the MD and KC kind of messes up the idea of a LIMMITED EDITION special offer mech .

As for getting the unique version make it an option when the next pack comes out, and if for some reason if they want both options for the pack make it an add on, or throw in some swag.
Annnnd I have to say…if there was new pack I hope to see a Warhammer, and the Black Widow Hero version.

$80 IS Loyalist package. Pick 4 IS mechs of your choosing (I don't care if they are all Assault or whatever...just pick what the hell you want)...hero or champion are included in this if you want one of those. You get 3 colors of your choosing and 1 premium pattern of your choosing, 4 mechbays and 4 cockpit items of whatever you choose.

Note that you would only have to offer them for pre-order - you wouldn't have to actually make them available until later. Potentially much later. After all, we pre-ordered the Clan packs as much as 6 months in advance. So creating this package wouldn't necessarily have to impact your existing schedules too much. It would some, of course, because you'd be bringing work forward on the last ones in the pipeline, but you wouldn't have to move the first one at all and could potentially even delay the release of that Mech slightly.
I would probably pre-order such a package. I cannot say for certain, of course, because we do not yet know what the Mechs would be, but I tend to be a PokeMech collector with limited time to play so package purchases are the best way for me to collect Mechs.
And Russ... since I have been critical in the past it is only fair to offer praise now... the communication that we are seeing from you and PGI has a whole is orders of magnitude better than before. Keep up the good work!

Here are a few hard stops as I see it:
Although there were many ways we could have gone about the Customer appreciation program and the criteria we set for each of the various rewards. The fact is we launched it under the requirements that we did and many people have already made significant buying decisions based on that information so I don't think it would be fair to adjust that criteria at this point.
Next on to the Foundes and Phoenix programs, I have read the threads and although there is some support in both cases there is also I believe enough players that are against the prospect that it would be unfair of Piranha to bring those programs back.
Trust me bringing back the Founders or Phoenix program would be by far the easiest option for Piranha to provide, however I don't feel we have the complete support we would need to do so. Which means that IF we were to provide a new IS package it would need to be a NEW program.
If we look at the price points of the four qualifying packages they go from 120, 80, 240 and 120. Therefore the lowest price point was the Phoenix Overlord package and with that in mind I think any new program would at least need to match the 80$ package level. Also Piranha has never charged for one of these programs at these dollar amounts unless the value of the packages were high and the biggest part of that value was in the fact the chassis were all new.
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.
I want to hear your thoughts now on this, because it takes significant resources to develop one of these packages and we would need to have some idea on what the support level would be, how many would be interested?
I saw go with the new package. Despite having the original suggestion to bring back the Phoenix package, it was a quick and dirty solution in order to get the thought process flowing. Having never owned a single mech in that package, I would still welcome it with open arms, but I in my humble opinion to stay on this roll you're on of great PR and communication I say go for making the new $80 IS pack and I will gladly swoop on it with my IS account.

Then offer the King Crab as a reward to those that bought either a top tier Founder's or Phoenix pack.
