Give me the option for a TDR, ARC or BLR and I would love it. I made it a point to own every TDR variant on the old Sim Site Mux, even the crappy ones!

I pretty much think that any mech introduced into the game should be available to all some way or another. I don't like the idea of forcing people to pay money to get a chassis. Maybe to get a specific variant, but mostly I think anyone should be able to obtain any chassis if they work at it.

If we would need to pay 10$ for an unseen Mech, i guess the Dev's can Sell them for 20$.

The problem is they would need to blur the mech for non paying Costumers...

Eh, the Whammy is overrated imo.
I'd much rather have the Maddy, or the Archy.

As for paying for them?
Really?
Also, royalties?
What royalties?
Harmony Gold isn't going to release their grip on them - at least not the ones they actually have.

So the Locust, Shadow Hawk, Griffin, Scorpion, Wolverine, Thunderbolt, Goliath, and BattleMaster are all safe and available for you.

I would happily shell out up to $20 for a Classic Battlemaster. I'd not be as happy to pay $30 but would consider it.

A Warhammer, meh. I'd sell my soul for a Marauder.

I understand a lot of people would love to see the Unseen.
However, I don't agree with making them only available to people who pay for them.
That would instantly turn the game into 'pay to win' (ignoring for a moment whether or not the Unseen are actually 'stronger' than other 'mechs).

If anything, cover the costs of bringing the Unseen into the game with profit made by all microtransactions combined.

I must have missed that. Do you (or anyone reading this) happen to have a link to where the developer's said that?

It's my understanding that the Unseen mechs have given the BattleTech franchise legal trouble time and time again.

So either they don't include them, or they've come to terms with Harmony Gold (unlikely, imo).
HG was unwilling to let CGL make use of them in CBT, so why would they relent for a computer game?

As an old player I hope we get the unseen added - having them out of the game removes a lot of the history.

I'd like to see that statement as well. . all the information i have is from BTWiki at this link . .

That's kind of my point. HG sounds like a PITA to work with. So I was surprised with another poster said that the dev team had no "legal problems" with including the Unseen. I was just asking for the source.

Well I am not so much interessted in the Warhammer, but if it would be the first unseen, as kind of a test, I would buy it, but wouldn't pay that much. For other unseen, like my beloved Marauder, Shadow Hawk or Phoenix Hawk, even a Locust, i would pay more. Up to 20$ it wouldn't be a question, above I must see the game first and get a feeling on what i like to pilot. For the Marauder I would give you happily as much as I could spend... B)

I'm not holding my beathe about the unseen until I have one in game. There are certain unseen I will buy without hesitation, and there are others I'll consider.

Although if it is a launch option I would be a little ticked, and request at least a partial refund on the Legendary Founder cost. If it is something that they haven't brokered yet then thats different.

Idk about paying for a warhammer, but I would give them a blank check for a battlemaster.
