I'm going to sacrifice something to the dark gods of Chaos, something to the C'tan and maybe Cthulhu just to get a bigger chance of a concept art for tomorrow.

Any volunteers to help me?

Sign me up. Let's go down to South/Central America and use the Aztec ruins to rip my heart out as the offering.

Banshee - 8 Energy, 1 or 2 Ballistic, 1 x missile...
Right. We need a 95 tons Stalker-style energy boat with dual Gauss like we need Fleas. (pun intended) ;)

Personally I'd prefer to have the Zeus as a nice alternative to the Awesome, but we'll see.

P.S: Also, the Banshee looks rather bad imo. Sort of like an Atlas on Atkins Diet with Sunglasses. I have no doubt that the talented designers at PGI (as hard as I am on PGI, I acknowledge they have good Mech designs) would manage to make it like look somewhat decent though.

We have the Orion already, get over it. The Zeus and Victor are just a 5-ton heavier, Assault classed Orion that lets the other team bring an Atlas.

And Orion itself is a smaller Atlas. ;)

In the Heavy Class, your point is moot.

Blasphemer! Shub-Niggurath shall have your soul! >|-)


Come on Banshee! (or Zeus, Cyclops, Annihilator, Victor... or whatever.)

Alright, now that the topic of Divine Contract has been breached, who do I need to sacrifice to who for an Axeman?

All I can say is if we get the banshee, its cockpit glasses better resemble TTGL!

If anything else this pic from Sarna of a 1E would suffice.

I shall enjoy the sweet tears of disappointment and rage when the next mech is the Hatamoto-chi instead of the Banshee... :P

Either would be appreciated.

Just hope the cockpit viewport isn't ridiculously huge and completely out of "character" for the mech like the Orion and Blackjack. :huh:

Well obviously there is going to be over lap with some mechs. But why bring a Banshee when you can bring an Atlas or a Stalker, both can last longer or bring more pew pew?

An Atlas will never be able to Energyboat like the Banshee would.

A Stalker will never have the tonnage, nor access to Ballistics like the Banshee does.

These are much better and bigger differences than a 5-ton heavier Orion that gives the other team an Atlas.
