The mech is ~12 years in the future of the timeline. It will surely come to MWO (with most MW4 mechs) but I guess those will wait until 2017 or 2018 to start showing up.
I hope until there PGI give those mechs the futuretech weapons they deserve.

The Devastator isn't that slow, it's just as fast as an Atlas, so could see 62.7km/h with a 360 series engine, same as an Atlas...

I mean you do only get 36t for weapons an equipment using a 360 standard with Endo... But still not bad!

More specifically, it's slower with the stock loadout than the Kodiak with the stock loadout.

You're right, the math changes once the loadout's updated. I hadn't intended to give an impression indicating otherwise. I'd tend to think the Dev. (lol) would still be slower because of the relative weight and crit-space differences between the tech bases, but it's still be cool

Well yea, but I am on record going back a couple of years now, saying that the Kodiak would brake the game... 'Cept I used the Kodiak 1 as an example as to why it shouldn't be in the game, little did I know the hell they would unleash with the Kodiak 3...

because the Uziel would have offered so much...oh look, another Phoenix Hawk......

Darn shame when clearer heads prevail. Happens rarely enough around here to celebrate the small victories.

Uziel is one of my favorite Mediums. But even I can look at the specs and realize it won't translate to a very impressive bot, in MWO. In large part due to how limp missile slots are in small numbers (just ask poor old VND)

and if remotely true to source art? Thing is gonna be a Barndoor to make the Awesome get jealous.


I think like the Annihilator, it's one of those TT designs that sadly won't translate nearly as well as one might hope. Unfortunatley.

Which is why people should move onto the Nightstar.
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Nightstar





High mounted weapons, narrow frontal profile, arms that help spread damage, 1 variants comes with a 380xl (Any engine you want), chicken walker and so on & so forth. The worst thing you can say about it is most of it's variants have hands which are useless in MWO. It's a sexy mech already but imagine how epic Alex's rendition would be?

Actually the Uziel is ok, and it will translate really bad into MWO ( I'd be more curious how Alex designs it with the weapon tumors system we have.) Again people miss the the point because they already have a picture of me in their heads. Fine whatever don't really care so much. It's a fact the Uziel was the top on that old poll I don't even think I voted in it just came across it. I'm pointing out instead of releasing mechs people actually wanted PGI keeps on releasing what they want. In fact I'm starting to think its Paul and his dart board that is choosing mechs.

If the Uziel comes great not buying it. If I'm not amazed by this "top secret" info (Solaris) at MechCon I'll meet some great people, see if I like HBS game, get some signatures, and cut my losses.

I made a topic a few days ago and realized my fears. You posted in it. The majority of the younger generation of BT (MW3/4, MA1,MA2) are gone already. Got tired of waiting and jumped ship.

PGI likes to release their mechs like their features " minimally viable products" of course most come DOA.

I seem to recall that the problem was the netcode, wasn't it? Thing was too fast for the game to handle. That in no way means that the art work/3D model wouldn't have been developped. Actually, it sorta suggests that it was completed for the beta/test servers, but never saw the light of the live servers. It'd be easy to ship it over to HBS' game even if it's still causing problems with MWO.

I don't want the flea either but looking at the minimally viable approach.

2 things, I want a new light and 2nd, I don't want it to be the Flea. Pulling for Wasp/Stinger/ Valkrie or Wraith. Clan side the Pirahna or Incubus would be fun.

Pretty sure if I light makes it to the game it will be a flea... Too many threads about it and it does already have art done for it.

Maybe there was this concern before the introduction of MASC in the game, but as it was implemented [limited], the Flea with MASC active would be actually slower than a maxed Death's Knell.

Russ showed his rejection for the Flea some times in the past. The concept art was done yes, and there is a 3d model by a 3rd party, but nothing indicates the mech was coded/animated/textured or even modeled by PGI.

I believe the Flea, as a perfect surrogate for the iconic Locust, was planned before PGI decided to bite the bullet and release the first Unseen mechs (Project Phoenix). With the Locust released, there is no more meaning for the Flea.

Come on, who would release the Flea instead of the most common mech in the universe, a mech so tight-up with the Macross heritage, one of the most classic mechs of the IP, the Wasp?

I never cared for the Flea in MWO. This is a mech insignificant in terms of lore that would only be a bad Locust in this game. With the effort to make it look like the Locust (as the JagerMech was made like the Rifleman), it actually looks worst that the MW4 version. Ugly, insignificant, dispensable.

[Imperius]

That's ok just look at all the DOA mechs that have been released recently. PGI does not seem to care if its popular or highly requested. You are painfully aware of my sudden interest in mech releases back in Dec/Jan and the storm that came after. Funny that CK16 guy disappeared or someone got tired of keeping up an alt account.

I actually keep in regular touch with CK, and he's been swamped with work and a new girlfriend on top of hitting the rank of Star Commander in CGBI, so busy, but he still pops in here regularly, he also really loved my 85t Omni-mech version of his and your beloved Mk II.

Yeah, I don't visit the HBS forums that often, but where was the Flea confirmed?
