So, to get somewhat back on-track:
Actually, the EXT-4A Exterminator variant (the Succession Wars "downgrade" variant) has been in production by Kallon Industries at their facility on Nanking (formerly of the CapCon, and currently part of the FedSuns - or, rather, the FedSuns side of the FedCom) since 3007 (according to TRO 3025 Revised & TRO 3050 Upgrade).
Though, the EXT-4A lacked the XL Engine, NSS, and AMS of the more-famous EXT-4D variant, and the CLPS of the EXT-4C variant.

Also, why is it that (as of this writing) all of BTE, EBT Trueborn, and Solaris7 are all down at the same time!?

The 4X is the same mech only cosmetically, and the TRO essentially says that, since nothing but the look and the beasic weapons remain.

I see a left-hand side, especially the lower-left, that's never going to see action, ever.

Well, guys, I'm sorry to say you might see me increasingly less here.

I'm not happy with some recent PGI's decisions, specially regarding 3rd Person View and the new focus toward new players. I even asked for a refund of my Phoenix Project Overlord.

Truth is, I will take a break and when I return, I will evaluate if the game is still the MWO I loved or something else.

Best luck to you.

[Wieland]

Bye, Odanan. I hope you will come back some day.

On a side note, i actually think all those changes will turn away new players instead of bringing them in.

Odanan,

I hope you come back when community warfare is implemented. You are a BattleTech scholar and will be missed.

Best of luck to you too bud, games are getting fewer and fewer. Sadly MW:O is starting to look like another "could've been" game : /

Man, I hope not. Kind of tired of everything either being a hot or a cold map - why don't the Great Houses fight for planets that have a normal, average climate?

Not to mention that this dark and brown **** is really depressing.

I'm in a similar shape, I'm now dedicating to other games, but sometimes I'll still be making a drop with my Corp friends; basically this game without my friendships would be left with no regrets. Or better, with regrets about how PGI could make it the most mind blowing MW game so far and they don't want to deliver.

[Steinar Bergstol]

I haven't given up yet. Not yet. I haven't asked for a Phoenix refund because, well, Thunderbolt and I guess I'm just a sucker for that mech.

That said, I myself have been spending less and less time on MWO and chances are once Star Citizen swings into gear with the dogfighting alpha test this winter I'll play even less. I can certainly understand Odanan's stance.

Not leaving. Not yet, but my patience with PGI _is_ starting to fray.

So, the Wolverine and Griffin are now definitely confirmed.
Saber upgrade package 17th December, Griffin 18th February, Wolverine 18th March
Looks like they need alot of money.

And that's a damn good way to get it. Good thing I'm on a tight leash, budget-wise. I want to drool all over that Griffin cockpit.

Medium mechs out the wazoo now, Yay!

Well, I hope they right the ship and we get you back. I'm at an all time low since the last patch myself dude. But it's the only "official" btech fix atm.......

Very nice!

Still needs more Marauder, though...

I just really don't ever expect ANY of the true unseen, unfortunately =\

Darn it... There goes another $30 bucks... This game better be successful for all the cash I am dumping into it.....

[Steinar Bergstol]

Yeah, I'm not really holding my breath for the Macross Unseen, any of them. I want them. I will be over the moon if we get them, but I fear PGI don't want to take the chance of Harmony Gold being their lawsuit happy selves, because lawsuits are expensive even if you feel you have a good shot at winning.

The Dougram and Crusher Joe unseen are not affected by that problem, so we're getting them. Well, most of them. Still missing the Scorpion and my "Tank-On-Stilts" Goliath, but quads are probably even less likely than Macross mechs.

[Odanan]

Very, very good art for the Wolvie and the Griffin! Great job, Iglesias!
And nice move with the Saber Package, PGI.

If it wasn't for the unfortunate August 20th patch (and the following PR), I would upgrade my Overlord, instead of refund it.
