Niko was making rounds last night through the various TS's. I suggested after they get the live servers fixed they patch the PTS with each Clan chassis's prime config as a trial mech. That will help them boost sales.

Edit: This thread makes me angry.

PTS?

Public Test Server. They had it up to allow people to play last night while they attempted to get the live servers working correctly.

Venom will probably not make it to the game, because of lack of variants. (PGI can compensate that with a similar hero Spider).

Speaking of Hero Spiders, NGNG has a thread up here wherein people can submit proposals for a Hero Spider...

Cheese of War needs to win we his SDR-US. It should be an AC10 instead, but for some reason people like to think all Urbies came with an AC20... (Only one variant did, btw)

It is not that they think they did - but rather that they all could mount one.
(or at least, for everyone I have seen talk about it - exceptions to every rule and all that)

I honestly think they all DO think they did, though, because otherwise they would say the same thing about all mechs with a ballistic hardpoint. It is rare to see an Urbie fan talk about its AC10. Not sure why that bugs me, but it does...

And yet it isn't the same about all mechs with a ballistic hardpoint
Only CN9 you can mount one on being the Yenlo for example.
And with dragons - the big point about Flame every time it gets brought up is.... the AC20 potential.

As for them meaning it - every time someone has been called specifically on whether it carried one stock or not, they have been more than willing to admit it carried the 10 by stock - but then bring up (and clarify) the missing actuators letting it mount the AC20 if you wanted.

I can understand it bugging you though - the phrasings tend to be kinda lousy

[Cimarb]

Ok, I revise my statement: "all mechs with a ballistic hardpoint and no lower arm actuators"

I suggested a Venom "prototype" (4 Medium Pulse Lasers).

PS: a 6 Machineguns hero Spider would be even better.

In my experience, they do though - hence the Flame comment.
When Yenlo gets brought up - the only "decent" builds for it are either AC/20 or dual-UAC5, no?

[Spheroid]

No point to having the Thug. The Hatamoto is the exact same thing plus enough variants.

How about a 12 MG Spider named "Piranha"?

I don't pilot Dragons or Centurions, so I don't get in many conversations about them, unfortunately.

1) But that one is a 20 ton mech

2) That is something that comes up all the time with them

I just figured something out in smurfy's about the Adder. Anyone with an Adder can you build one like this and post the image?

In other news, how long do you think it'll take them to release the next set of clan concept art?

What? You dishonor traditional battlegarb of giant robot samurai battlemech?! You must shall die now, dishonorable dog! <imagine this as a badly dubbed clip from an old martial arts movie for the correct feel >

Actually, I don't think the Hatamoto looks that bad. Yes, okay, it has a pointless samurai style helmet when the original Charger head was equally armored without that addition. You gotta give the engineers working on redesigning a Charger leeway to have a _little_ fun with it, right?

Well, it originally was just Drac hubris silliness. Then some schmoe gave it a sword. A sword. REALLY?????? How many phallic symbols do you snakes need?

Thank you Wieland. That looks both terrifying and hilarious.

Also note: I forgot to attach armor to that build. So technically it would not work.
