True, but it's supposed to be different and not better. What would be yours?

I agree with hero mechs being different and not better, but your example hardpoint loadout was a direct downgrade to an existing variant. As in, being inferior.


I don't know what my own would be, but here are all of the possible hardpoint ideas that aren't yet done by existing Raven variants:

A. All energy
B. All ballistic (would be horrible, though)
C. All missile (rip-off of Oxide, so unlikely)
D. Direct fire only (no missiles, just energy and ballistic)
F. Ammo-based only (no energy, just ballistic and missiles; might be kind of sucky though)
E. Something like the 4X or 2X, but with any one hardpoint traded for a second missile slot
G. 3 missile and 2 something else (probably energy)
H. 2 AMS and some kind of weakness to counteract it (i.e. quirk or engine size)

Those are the possibilities I can think of. There's a good chance it would have jets, but not guaranteed.

How about a Adder Raven with 2JJs? Been running it on my JR7-D(S) and it is really fun to use. But alas following PGI's mentality they are going to take the worst anti meta weapons slap a bunch together and call it a hero mech (Grid Iron). So as Scrawny Cowboy mentioned it will have 4 Flamers and a NARC with only 1 tube.

[Scrawny Cowboy]

I was thinking 1 energy in each arm, 2 ballistic in CT, 1 missile in each side torso (but only one tube each ), and two JJ's
So two flamer, two MG's, two SRM6's, three tons ammo, the two JJ's, and the rest in the engine for the stock loadout

OK, I remade my Overkill mech. Now 100% more Overkill.

Sounds like a Nightstar to me (weapon loadout wise!)

Just need a sketch!

when it's already perfect, why would you need to switch weapons?

Because you are bored and want to use something different?

Anyway, with the Overkill omni configurations, you can play any of the following roles:
- Sniper (Primary Config)
- Indirect Fire Support/Bombardier (Alt A)
- Duelist/Lurker (Alt. B )
- Hunter/Electronic Support (Alt C)


EDIT:
- Deep Raider/Brawler (Alt D )

Ultimate Assault Star?

Hey Bishop. If you ever come to Brazil, we can test in the table which mech is better.

But don't bother talking Portuguese too much. The more foreigner you sound, the Brazilian ladies will like better.

One mech that I came across that I would love to see PGI release http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Crusader. We could have some fun builds with that girl. It even comes with a Hero variant called the CDR-3R Crael. What do you guys/gals think?

[SgtMagor]

Crusader reminds me of the Thunderbolt, there is a variant with jump jets too. would be be a good alternative for the Tbolt, been wanting this mech for a long time.

I think that if the Crusader was released, the sky would crack open. I would hop on my new-found flying porcine companion and fly up into it and discover that it was filled with puppies, kittens, and a signed document regarding Harmony Gold's recent bankruptcy dissolution!

Here is why it will probably never be in MWO:

Damn, this is why I think Sarna sucks sometimes. I did not think that it was an unseen, although I had a feeling since that photo did look a little Gundamy

I'd like to bring my MSC-1D Misericorde to this party (though, it might need a 3050-era refit first...)

For a level 1 mech, there is nothing that can beat an 100 tonner, with (at least) dual PPCs, 8 Medium Lasers, jump jets and a Hatchet.

EDIT: if you want to party, you better remove that LRMs (replace for PPCs?), add some tons, mount TSM and some larger melee weapon.
