I'm oddly fascinated by it, to be honest. It may turn into a hobby mech for me, figuring out how I want to make the most of it.

Way-Too-Early Reckless Speculation:

Turkina for June.

Fite mee.

And Fire Falcon as next Clan after that, ensuring Martha Pryde's Star of New Omni is complete.

Panyzer went really Well!

The start for the turret controls I move my Thunderbolt and Hunchback up center of the enemy line considting and sent my Quickdraw and ShadowhWk to the left slowly moving for the main objective. Multi target worked great to mop up the 6 tanks quickly.

With those mechs I don't doubt you went well. Now imagine doing the same with 4 medium mechs! :/

I did it with 3 Mediums and an Orion. Still lost 2 mechs and killed the Dropship Command on the very last round. But then I went and avenged my lancemates with extreme prejudice.

Skip that Turkina. I would bet the Fire Falcon as the next Clan mech. And a medium after that.

Since 2017:

Light (Cougar) -> assault (Mad Cat MK II) -> medium (Arctic Wolf) -> heavy (Nova Cat) -> light (piranha) -> medium (Black Lanner) -> heavy (Sun Spider) -> assault (Blood Asp) -> heavy (Hellfire) -> ?

I did, it was rough...

2x Shadowhawk 2H
1x Vindicator 1R
1x Centurion 9A

Next time I'll farm a few missions first...

I'm calling the next mechs:

• Clan: Fire Falcon (light)
  
• IS: Argus (I would love to see the Crusader instead)
  
• Clan: Vapor Eagle or MW4's Hellhound (medium)
  
• IS: Charger (assault)

Thinking of a Commando with that engine rating, Fire Falcon wouldn't be too bad, but certainly wouldn't be OP. It also has configs that use the new tech.

What about the Emperor? It's a got variants with the new stuff too. I think we're just stuck waiting on anything that would be involved in the Harmony Gold tussle for now.

Posting here instead of going by PM, so others can benefit too, should they so choose:

Hey Odanan, did you do that "Which Faction Are You?" quiz that I saw a while back?

I can't find the thing because of the forums current lolbad search functionality. If that was yours, could you drop a link please?

I'm sure I remember the originator being a regular poster in this thread. If it wasn't Odanan, would that forum denizen please point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Erm, the Emperor isn't Unseen, so HG has no say whatsoever over whether we get it or not.

There (edit!) was was not (what an epic failure of omission) an intended link there between the Emperor and HG.

More like what about X, because we can't have anything in the same category as Y, because reasons. Meh, wasn't clear enough.

I also don't think the Hellhound/Conjurer will drop in game until they commit to either treating them as the same chassis or different chassis. Either on's going to tick off someone with an opinion, and I'm no sure they're invested enough to commit either way. Also meh.

Honestly, If PGI introduces that mech, they will likely follow the original art, mainly because that thing from MW4 is still not canon yet(and in my opinion, it should stay that way).

The only reason I see to add the Hellhound is to canonize the MW4's look. Nobody cares for the original Conjurer.

/shrug

I wonder how they would go about that DLC, would we play IS or would we play Clans? If we play Clans, do we get to pick which Clan?

I hope they go Clan....Choosing any of the 4 primary Clans? I mean maybe, but that is possibly 4 different campaigns honestly as we both know each one had their own war path they followed and totally different experiences.


And before people try to take a swipe with "you just want easy mode" I counter with they totally could make it work. Since there is no C-bills economy in the Clans military (meaning you can not just go buy mechs and supplies off a market...) I counter with that they would add an honor points system. The more you bid well, and win by following the rules of Zell (no focus firing ect) The more points you get and possibly more gifted supplies. Your upkeep would be determined by amount of these supplies used every month ect and if you run out well you know...This could add an interesting degree of challenge imo and could even be if you start running low on supplies because you fight dishonorably you would have to raid other Clans, i.e. jump to a planet held by another Clan and issue a trial of possession for their supplies...And they would match what ever you bid also so good luck thinking a possible easy win ect.
