My Nostradamus powers can't reach that far, but let's do a rational analysis (from April and beyond is a guessing exercise):

*snip*

If you keep up with that, the Nova Cat will probably be released in 2018.


(and 2018 is assuming PGI will do time leaps)

Unless they speed up the mech releasing process... but don't worry, the Nova Cat's older brother, the Night Gyr, should come in late 2015.

And it is a great mech.

OK, I just buffed the "Payback Pack" with the Devastator. Thunder Hawk is a long shot, tough...

I really hope you're right about the next clan wave, 4/5 of those are awesome (i have no interest in a clan 90 tonner with a 360 STD, doubt id even XP it)

Personally id prefer the Huntsman to be the 'main' medium as if the Cheetah is the light i think the Huntsman brings more to the table than the Viper, which would just be a slightly slower, slightly bigger, much uglier version of the Cheetah, without ECM. The Huntsman is a Nova with much better hardpoints, and the engineers didnt derp out and forget to give it endo steel

Ah yes, Night Gyr will probably be the best clan mech, 2xGauss, 4xERML, 71kph, 4xJJs.

A Clan assault mech, with decent speed and 24 tons for weapons (Clan weapons are lighter), with a possibility of being a zombie with a Clan ER PPC (or 2 ER Large Lasers) in the center torso? Do want. Heck, it is certainly better than the Gargoyle.

A Clan pack with Arctic Cheetah, Viper/Huntsman, Cauldron Born and Kingfisher would be instabuy for me.

Terribad pack (I'd still buy it)

Urbanmech
Clint
Bellerophon (yeah yeah, I know)
Mackie
reinforcements: Charger

Oh, it would be instabuy for me too, but not for the Kingfisher since don't see the value for Clans using STDs, since XL doesnt kill you on one torso loss, and a mech missing both STs is still a pretty useless stick, even with a single PPC. better than dead, sure - but id rather be faster/better armed so as not to lose both STs in the first place.

Maybe id save a bit of money by not buying the top tier one if it allowed me to skip the Kingfisher, but if it was lower down the the list id buy the full pack and accept the dud (for me) like i did with the Wave 2 pack and the Ice Ferret

38 tons of weapons!

The Primary, A and C configurations are delicious. Dual Gauss + Dual ER PPC, fast, jumping mech? The mech was designed to counter the Timber Wolf, after all...

[bluepiglet]

How about fixing hit reg, rewards system, matchmaker, and all the other broken things first?

[Dorion]

Ohhh Blood Asp please. Picture even looks cool on Sarna.....no picture looks cool on Sarna.

They need to sell something to keep the game running. How to you think they pay their highly specialized workers and high-tech servers?

And come on, 2D and 3D graphic artist can't help much in fixing your "broken things"...

When they stop releasing new mechs, the game is dead.

Well, the Nova might disagree....

36 tons no? And you have to put at least 6 tons of gauss ammo.
