I would pay 60 bucks for three of those. My most favorite endgame Mech in every previous MW game that had them in...

Ill take that challenge

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Yeoman

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Stalker

supposedly it can hit 100'

The Warhawk can get to 70

Meh.

The Yeoman has 4 launchers max.

Stalker has 5 launchers max.

Warhawk has 4 launchers max, and it has only 33 tons of podspace available and the crit space is choked by over abundant fixed DHS.

The Kraken is going to have 50 tons of podspace, and NINE launchers, and more importantly, enough ammo for all of those launchers. 100 missile Stalker cannot sustain fire for any noticeable duration of time.


There are cheese mechs, and then there is the Kraken.

The only true mech that would allow PGi to print money is the Marauder. I would not want the Kodiac, but the Marauder...hedoublehockeysticks yeah

You apparently see mechs as walking hardpoint lists, and you call me sad? The way you describe the ballistic Kraken is no different than the King Crab - high-mounted ballistic hardpoints on a 100t mech.

You call KC arm ballistic mount high? You are sadder than I thought.

Theyre in 3050 timeline? Albeit the first one there is a 3060 mech but we can already do 100 lrm carriers with the mechs we have

They were already active in the Free Worlds League as early as 3048, just in small cells though. Were not a power until 3052 or so.

I hate the clans.
I hate clan lore.
I hate fake clan honor.
I hate everything about the clans.
I will never pilot a clan mech.
I have no respect for clan pilots.
If you gave me a clan mech, I would sell it.

If they made a Kodiak… I would buy it and pilot it endlessly.
I would hate myself for doing it, but it wouldn’t stop me. :/

[CHH Badkarma]

They would never give us this mech if we asked for it. Mainly because the self respecting clansmen that want it would never cry and beg for it as much as everyone else does in this game when they want something

Never could understand RPers....

I'd enjoy a Kodiak, never actually tried one out in the previous games, but seems like an interest mech based on the stock loadouts.

And yet I have a warhawk B that has 70 tubes and a firepower of 105 lol

[Karl Marlow]

Im fairly sure the print money button is called the Marauder

[Sirius Drake]

I would pick up a god damned loan for that mech!
Go4it PGI! Take my money!!!

[Widowmaker1981]

While it wouldn't be all that good in MW:O, id kill for a supernova, if they were going to add clan battlemechs

[Thorn Hallis]

As mentioned before, the only true moneymakers are the unseen. And Clan Battlemechs wont happen because of reasons.

[NeoCodex]

A mech pack with Shadow Cat, Cauldron Born and Kodiak? Now THAT would be the license to print money. But even the Kodiak would be enough for me to slash my wrists and perform a shamanic ritual dance in preparation for it (PGI please take my paycheck).

On the side note, why didn't we get the Cauldron Born yet? It's production year was 3049.

Then you should realize what the Kraken can do with 20 more tons of pod space and 5 more launchers.

[KingDavid]

I would gladly buy Kodiaks

FupDup, on 16 October 2014 - 04:45 PM, said:

That would make Clan regular mechs inferior to Clan Omnimechs though.

Not really. The biggest problem Clan Omnis have is the number of HPs per pod.
Theres no real choice, you just take the pod with the most HPs of a given type.

Consider also Mechs with pods that dont have a difference. Take for example, the Warhawk. It has 3 Left Arm pods, of the 3 only one is different.
A Clan Battlemech could easily be balanced by locking Structure/Armor types, and limiting the flexibility of the Engine.

Clan Battlemechs would essentially be hardpoint locked Omnis. And thats not really a bad thing.

No, PGI's license to print money is the all-powerful URBANMECH.

Same reason anyone should listen to your opinion the game needs the Kodiak.

It's a shame you have the Legendary Founder title.

And it can undo it because ghost heat. You can fire a volley then explode I guess

Also; theyd likely make a lot of screwed up crit sots as well
