Damn it!

[Magik0012]

This morning's "announcement" was kind of like a 'pull my finger' joke.

[Lonestar1771]

I highly doubt it's a new mech. Probably a screen shot of basic CW work since so many people are skeptical that they will get it out.

this, though i still hope...

new mech announcement wouldn´t be "exclusive" in any way...

Taking the new crappy forum as forecast i think i dont want to know what they have as exclusive.

#20 is probably the Charger. Silly forum changes, silly mech.

They just need to go ahead and announce the Zeus so I'll have something nice to spend my cbills on.

We're going to be announcing the next `Mech within 30 days UrbanMech? How much would you pay?

People could get shirts made up that say "I am ashamed of what I did for an Urbanmech."

Or "I'm Ashamed I was a MWO Whale"


and the back could say "before they blatantly bent us over without the courtesy of lube"

When ever I read UrbanMech...i think they are talking about ammunition for my Gun....

So the UrbanMech will be the first Gold Ammunition for MWO...

i see, that's what I get for not checking Twitter this morning

Another Canyon screenshot? Was that really worthy of a pre-announcement announcement? Meh.

And its almost the same as the first canyon screenshot.

[Oppresor]

Is there any news on the Omega? I really need one of these to replace my Atlas.

[Odanan]

As noted previously (in this very thread, no less), look at the dates in the Nightstar's Master Unit List entry, and then look at the TROs.

The original Nightstar variant (the NSR-9J) was developed in 2767, but it was lost to the Succession Wars (the sole factory was destroyed and the design/engineering team was killed) and the 'Mech wasn't reinvented until 3056.

The second Nightstar variant (the NSR-9FC) was developed by the Federated Commonwealth in 3057.
The NSR-9J (Brubaker) is a personal variant (of a character named Brubaker), and is more like a Hero 'Mech than a regular variant.

The third Nightstar variant (the NSR-9SS) was developed in 3065.

Each 'Mech in MWO needs to have three variants in order to be able to unlock the Elite efficiencies, and MWO's taking place at a specific point in the BattleTech timeline (with March 2013 = March 3050, with a 1:1 time progression) requires that those three variants be already existent at this point.

So, no - the Nightstar doesn't work for MWO at this point in time.

I dont give a damn about the timeline if original release was pre 3050 then the mech should be in thats why i want the devastator alsdo even though it barely makes the time
