By the way... offering those reinforcement packs for real money might also finance a speed-up of the new weapon retrofits for 'older' Mechs. It's a shame that all the new spiffy weapon models are not visible on many Mechs.

Well let's look at the past few months since Civil War dropped.

Resistance Heros added and retrofitting for all 10 of those
We had the original 4 civil war mechs, all time to them.
Clan Wave 2 & 3 Heros and all those mechs retrofitted (9 chassis)
IIC heros, 4 retrofits
Civil war escalation, 4 new chassis all with new models.

Honestly, they have done a good job as 23 chassis have been retrofitted.

But yes, I feel they need to choose like 2 to 6 chassis a month or so. Do the retrofits and add atleast one varriant per with new tech.

Not saying they are lazy. But it is noteworthy that retrofits were only made if PGI released Mechpack for the Mechs in question. Again, I am not critizing it since I am aware of the financial realities. On the contrary, that's precisely why I suggest reinforcement packs: give me new variants with retrofits for old Mechs, and I give you money.

Seems like a deal to me.

I might fork over some money for...
Direwolf C
Stormcrow E
Maddox D (chin lazor!)
Timberwolf E? (TBR is difficult as no new omni pods options really....but could get some nice set quirks for ATM's or HEAVY Lasers.)

IS wise, a few options with stealth armor out there.

No Black Lanner yet. And for some reason, the Piranha "Final Hours" banner is still in the frontpage.

Yes, it took me a while to warm up to it due to the STD-engine but is a fascinating and well thought out design if you look deeper into it. No fixed equipment, good podspace, and good configurations. In game it probably would be like a tanky Huntsman if played (and quirked) right.

This is one of two Clan mediums I'd buy for real money, but I am afraid PGI won't consider it. Too bad, I'd love to see the Blood Spirits.

I actually like it's looks and it is podspace gimped but the C arm will give it enough energy hps to boat with and it looks like it'll be an epic poker.

Alex Iglesias nailed the design! This mech will be terrifying in the field.

Now I can't wait to see what he will do with the Fafnir (December 1st?).
