Of course the LAMs do well, they are completely out of balance with the TT.

It's worth noting that LAMs got a long-needed revamp on both construction and movement with modern rules- they move now like a WiGE vehicle in AirMech mode, rather than the "jump anywhere on the field" of the original rules. They also can't carry larger weapons at all, meaning stuff like the Clantech WoB hybrids were only packing things like CERLL's at best- and they can't use crit-heavy stuff like ferro or endosteel (or XLs!) leading to standard engine, fragile-composite internal structure designs being the top flight in the Jihad era for LAM construction. And AirMech or fighter-configuration mode LAMs suffer horribly from LB-X and flak for the same reasons other airmobile vehicles do.

(Record Sheets 3085 for a quick-start version of the LAM rules, Interstellar Operations will have the full rules.)

On top of my all-mechs image,

and doing individual frames for someone, I figured I'd whack them all in one cycling image:

No particular point... just interesting.

It looks like we will have the first Star League Royal variant on the game, the KGC-000b.

Does it mean we will get the ECM Stalker later?

[Ovion]

I can't even summon the words to describe how happy I am with the KGC release, and the last few months.

Locust Hero, KGC release, royals now in game, 6B KGC (that I get for free!), Clan W1+W2, Resistance, reward mechs, CW coming, the info that Russ understands we're not joking about the Urbie (and concept art has been done).

Yes, and if the Community Warfare is any close of what we are expecting, PGI can count on my money for the next few years.

Looks like the Kurita version might be MWO's interpretation of the 1st Ghost Regiment paintjob.

As for the Marik one my first thought was: Constructicon!

Oh please,

They still have to add the Commando 1C to the game.

Lore check. Kerensky requested the Atlas design, not the KGC which actually predates Kerensky.

From Sarna:
"Designed by Cosara Weaponries in 2741 at the request of General Aleksandr Kerensky for an assault 'Mech that could "cripple or destroy another 'Mech in one salvo," the King Crab is one of the most fearsome BattleMechs to have ever existed."

I stand corrected. I only remembered Kerensky's quote on the Atlas.

We were going to, but the Nova Cats said this was too much of a violation to allow. They then issued a Trial of Grievance, but to avoid your untimely death I told them I would simply absolve you from the thread by forwarding their above message.
