That's an interesting question. It is answered here:

I agree! But as I've said before - there is too few 'old school and team players" to influence the outcome - whether or not CW and (we can reasonably assume) MWO will succed and live long enough (at least - until MS decides for some reason to pull license plug) for Alex Iglesias to deliver another 24/48/200 of his redesigns.

Because that's why I'm here - to finally, after all this years, see Battletech get design & artwork it deserves.

And if you had the choice of playing in a team of 16 Locusts* or a team of 10 Jenners, which one would you choose? I would try both.

I would too. But it really doesn't matter.

So I was thinking, which doesn't happen often and tends to damage my delicate and aging head internals, and I had a prophetic flash of insight as to what the next light IS mech will be.

It's going to be a STINGER! Indeed, nothing would be more controversial and surprising than the sudden appearance of a 20 ton "we assigned you to this mech because we want you to die" Harmony Gold guarded design! It is obvious when you think about it!

I admit, my flash of insight may have been slightly influenced by me wanting to see my Phoenix Hawk in MWO, but I'm sure I'm right!

Okay, even I don't believe I'm right about that, but a guy can dream.

Don't toy with my feelings like that!

I've been wanting to pilot a Wasp or Stinger since 1984...

And no, I don't think it'll ever happen either...

mekteck was pure freeware too and thus much less likely to face the wrath of DisHarmonyGold.

They were also going to allow them to fly if you recall. Ugh.

Well I have been wanting to pilot a LAM ever since reading about Joanna and Horse's exploits in one on Huntress. :(

I think it's a travesty we've never played together Odanan. If you have time Monday night you should join us at the No Guts No Galaxy Team Speak for Marik Monday Madness Chaos Drops.

Yea my unit the Marik Gunfighter Alliance also does 12 man sync drops to do dueling. Turns out to be really fun matches. Last duel I beat my fellow MGA member in my Hunchback 4G STD250 AC20 3ML vs his Victor brawler (forget it's specs, not 2xPPC 2xAC5 meta).

I decided not to buy the Clan Package and instead used that money to preorder Elder Scrolls Online.

I will buy at least the Timber Wolf A La Carte in the next few weeks. If things go very well in June, I might upgrade my purchase.
