Jeez Bishop, you gotta stop! You can't go and make the Mackie look good! It's just not right, man...

RACs only use one ammo type.


Kinda wanna see if they can understand their own code enough to create new weapons first if they cant even fix the A-1 or improve the ones they have

*Ahem* It's called an AgroMech. And no, I doubt they'll include the agromech until they get physical combat up and running so it can make use of it's greatest asset. .... Besides, I'd have too much fun trolling Pug Matches in ICE engines.

Really... :ph34r:

Very cool Bish. I've been touting that one piece by Alex, but this one is also very cool and closer to the original rendition. You should go put this in the Mackie thread. :D

Resurrecting from the depths of page... IDK...

So, of existing chassis, what variants can be added that would further strengthen the lineup with unique hardpoints? Many chassis have seven variants and while that's a lot, it's a weird number to stop on. Does PGI have a "max" variant cap?

I'd say any variant of this

would be a good start.

Good idea, but I think the siren and flashing lights need to be permanently equipped and toggle-able with the key for the missile door :D

Some variants were left behind. We hope they will be added someday.

- Catapult CPLT-K3 (upgraded K2, not much room for hardpoint maneuver)
- Commando COM-1C (unique variant with ballistics)
- Dragon DRG-1G (all energy + missile variant, still unique despite the Flame)
- Dragon DRG-5K or (even better) Dragon DRG-5K-DC (stock Command Console, so maybe ECM capability) - actually Grand Dragons, but...
- Hunchback HBK-4N (interesting ballistics + missiles variant)
- Hunchback HBK-5M (upgraded 4G, not much room for hardpoint maneuver)
- Jenner JR7-A (not going to happen, as 6 energy harpoints in one location would be weird)
- Cataphract CTF-3L (MASC!)
- Cicada CDA-3F (is it already 3052? because I want my jumping Cicada!)
- JagerMech JM6-B (created by MW2:M but sort of canonized ever since. JM with energy + missiles and no ballistics!)
- Raven RVN-1X (bulky and older EW equipment that could be replaced by ECM and Beagle, with some free tons for... armor?)
- Raven RVN-3X (1X with Triple Strength Myomer)
- Spider SDR-7M (upgraded 5V, not much room for hardpoint maneuver)
- Trebuchet TBT-5S (TBT with 4 missile hardpoints, but less tubes)
- Stalker STK-3Fb (Stalker with ECM! SLDF Royal exclusive, but the HGN-732b got in, so...)
- Locust LCT-1S, Locust LCT-1Vb, Locust LCT-1L, Locust LCT-3D (swarm!)
- Blackjack BJC-1DB, Blackjack BJ-3X (hardpoint conundrum)
- Blackjack BJ-2 (only in 3052...)
- Kintaro KTO-19b (SLDF Royal)
- Shadow Hawk SHD-2HB
- Wolverine WVR-7M
- Griffin GRF-1E, GRF-1DS
- Thunderbolt TDR-7M
- Victor VTR-9A, Victor VTR-9A1 (OMG, please!)
- Firestarter F59-S1 (stock ECM)
- Banshee BNC-3MC (BNC-3E with 1 more ballistics and 1 less energy?)
- Banshee BNC-3Q (imagine a BNC-3E without weapons in the right torso and 3 more ballistics in the left torso)
- Banshee BNC-5S (armed to the teeth, but only in 3053)


OK, I'm back! (was traveling)

Guys, do you realize the Resistance Pack II will be announced in 2 days?!?! This is exciting!


Cyclops, Black Knight, Assassin and Mongoose (or Wolfhound) FTW!

With hopefully the Mauler as reward for owner of bothe resistance top tier packs. ;)

Thanks Odanan. Just trying to keep the discussion legitimately going (since bumping it technically against the rules). :)

I guess a mackie could be alright in the game question is does it have time line variants I know its very possible they already do but asking is better.
