It would be interesting to see how PGI pulls off the Binary Laser seeing that they did a pretty good job getting Clan weapons close to being even with IS weapons but with drawbacks. If they could not pull it off or even add the Blazer then the Thug would be more fun. Too bad all of my mech bays and future c-bills are destined for the Nova, Dire Wolf, Adder, and Warhawk so no more IS mechs. Well for at least a year, maybe longer if PGI releases more Clan mechs like the Helbringer, Shadowcat, Ebon Jaguar, etc.

all my c-bills are destined for the Zeus

[FireSlade]

I cannot wait until the Nova Dire Wolf and Warhawk become available for c-bills so that I can try these 3 builds out
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...d0b71d0516ee1ac (roughly stock Nova)
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...7143a43f978ffac (My Dire Wolf, Beast)
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...981db1ec8fe38d6 (My Warhawk, Reaper)

You guys are going to need better mechs to stand up against the Clans

Here's my takes on the next IS & Clan mechs:

IS
Javelin (With the SRM fix no reason not to add it)
Vindicator (Was hinted at before by Russ)
Guillotine
Zeus

Clan
Myst Lynx
Fenris
Mad Dog
Gladiator

For the Clan, I am betting on the Mad Dog being the first up after the Warhawk is delivered for c-bills. There is a lot of good configs for it and it is highly sought after.

[Cimarb]

Mad Dog would be a good bet, as people would want it enough to pay money even though they just purchased a package.

The fact that the Thor is missing a leg is...fairly accurate of in-game performance.

it's not missing a leg. One is lifted off the ground, but still visible.

Oooooh, I see it now. Diagonal ninja leg is ninja.






I still think my interpretation is accurate of what happens in-game.

While I agree with the overt premise being presented, I am surprised that Bishop is advertising for the AFFS, rather than the AFFC or the LCAF.

One wonders if there is some "backhanded complement" hidden in the post...?

Most of my "House" Military Career before I turned merc, as with the MIIO. First Lyran to serve with MI6. Yup, I was a Rabid Fox til I took a DEST vibro-katana to the knee. Didn't take up being a tin man til after the War of 3039.

So my military ties are actually primarily House Davion (and the two Realms and Forces do not officially merge until Victor ascends the Throne), though my Merc Career began with old friends from my childhood on Clinton, Snord's Irregulars.

First time you can see FD's Grasshopper and Panther (putting the cockpit inside the mouth... clever), as well as modifications of the Victor's and (not-so)Quickdraw's designs that were most likely changed because of game design reasons (and, let's face it, we have Lu Wei Bings, not Victors in the game).

[Spheroid]

A Hermes is also visible in that illustration.

Dat Panther. Too skinny like the Spider, for my "realism" tastes......

BUT DAT SEKZY N-E-HOW!!!!!

Yeah, but that's a background illustration and those are not really detailed, more along the lines of basic sketch that looks "good enough"... not a very good indication of Alex's abillities.

Got a link? Can't seem to see it...

We do have Victors (If you count St. Ives as ours), not to mention later, Pillagers.

Lu Wei Bings come even later than that though...

Only this small version: http://catalystgamel...ion-cover-final

Also, I was referring to the MW:O Victor being a copy-paste of Lu-Wei-Bing (I still remember the day I've posted a pic of it here and said it could be some referrence to MW:O design and then the real one hit... being a 0.9:1 copy of it).

[Tkhaw]

Thanks. Art looks great!

I fully agree that the Victor of MWO is almost 100% to that of Lu Wei Bing (except for the right arm, gun is bigger than the victors)
