Well, it would give the 85 ton bracket a jumping design...

There is the Crockett/Katana...

I prefer the shogun though, the crockett looks like a assaultish jager to me

Admittedly both the Shogun and CrockTana have issues with enough variants available in time-frame

Very true... One can only hope

Did you see the new "Clan Loyalist" faction logo? It reminds you something?

I'm not a graphic artist and I don't want to offend the PGI artist's work, but this is how the Clan logos should be:



And a bonus: (for players of other Clans)

Keep on this track, PGI.

Now we just need the Bishop Steiner's Urbie in the game...

Forums are back! Great!

Now PGI, would you focus in what really matters: the next IS chassis?

ZEUS !

[JudgeDeathCZ]

It can be only Mauler !
Or Hammerhands....oh I would love to own Hammerhands http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Hammerhands !

[Steinar Bergstol]

Hatamoto? No? Okay, Mauler then. The Lyrans don't really want their Zeus.

[Strum Wealh]

For a 'Mech as iconic as it is, the Zeus is really quite overdue...

Well, let's look at what variants the Zeus could have available (based on timeline and tech appropriateness):

• ZEU-5T: x1 ERPPC (LA), x1 ERLL (LT), x2 MLas (LT, CT), Artemis-LRM-15 (RA); FF and DHS
  
• ZEU-5S: x1 UAC/5 (LA), x1 ERLL (LT), x2 MLas (LT, CT), Artemis-LRM-15 (RA); DHS
  
• ZEU-6S: x1 AC/5 (LA), x1 LLas (LT), x2 MLas (LT, CT), LRM-15 (RA)
  
• ZEU-6T: x1 PPC (LA), x1 LL (LT), x2 MLas (LT, CT), LRM-15 (RA)
  
• ZEU-9S: x1 ERPPC (LA), x1 ERLL (LT), x2 MPLas (LT, CT), CASE (RT), LRM-15 (RA); FF and DHS
  
• ZEU-9S-DC: x1 ERPPC (LA), x1 ERLL (LT), x2 MPLas (LT, CT), Command Console (HD), CASE (RT), LRM-15 (RA); FF and DHS

All variant mass 80 tons and have a top speed of 64.8 kph.

None of the variants are jump-capable, nor do they normally mount AMS, BAP, or ECM.
Though, the latter is unlikely to affect the ability to equip AMS or BAP, and the existence of a two -DC variants (the 9S-DC linked above, and the ZEU-6S-DC variant that sacrifices one of the Medium Lasers) could indicate the possibility of an ECM-capable variant.

According to the record sheets in RS:3039U (pgs. 249-252 of the 500-page PDF), none of the ZEU-5T, ZEU-5S, ZEU-6S, or ZEU-6T variants possess Hand Actuators, though all possess Lower Arm Actuators in both arms.

If the Zeus were to be implemented in MWO, I would imagine that it would be the ZEU-6S and/or ZEU-6S-DC (the "basic"/"default" variant), the ZEU-9S and/or ZEU-9S-DC ("the 3050 variant(s)"), and the ZEU-6T that would be implemented.

The -5S could be easily built from the minimum required hardpoints of the -6S (with the latter being the most common variant), and the -5T could be easily built from the minimum required hardpoints of both the -6T (the other Succession Wars variant) and the -9S (the "recovered LosTech" variant).
Moreover, the -9S could be easily built from the -9S-DC & vice versa (by removing/adding the Command Console and adding/removing a DHS).

Your thoughts?

I bet we will eventually. It's a design that's quite popular, IMHO. Any potential OP-ness would be probably overshadowed by the Dire Whale - which is in the game. And can do a casual 90+ alpha damage with decent heat management and big sustained DPS.

I refer to the Hammerhands, actually. Obsolete, essentially extinct mech not resurrected til the Jihad.

Mind you, I rather like the mech, so would not cry if it was in game, just pointing out it is probably even less likely than the Urbie to ever make it.

if that is the look of the Zeus that eventually makes it, I will have to challenge you to a trial of grievance when it obviously should be based off the Zeus-X

[SgtMagor]

no argument here but Zeus X=3119! http://www.sarna.net...01px-Zeus_X.jpg
