Of course I am sure we could issue a trial of grievance, or antihalation should you wish, after we haven taken Terra and established a new Star League....

So a Kodiak?

For you Free Birth Spheroids, it is an improved Atlas.

Alright, which one of you Nova Cats shared your stash with Da Bears? They've gone off the deep end again, spouting nonsense and I can hardly bear it.

Until a Kodiak can pack an IS ac20, and doesn't overheat when you LOOK at the firing studs, yeah, I must debate that claim. Probably sucking on Goliath Scorpion venom again.

King Crab is... amazing.
2 AC20, 2SRM6, 2MPL.
I'm big, I'm slow, I'm short range, but if you get in range~

I'm waiting more reviews of the KGC to buy my full Resistance pack. How about the hitboxes? Isn't the arms too big? Is it XL friendly?

Can't comment if it's XL friendly yet, haven't experimented (don't plan to for a few days yet, tried it, now I'll let it settle a little)

I don't understand the Faction camos from the Resistance Pack. I will be able to apply it in which King Crabs?

So far it has been a wonder to use.
Iff well used he is devastating. A trio of King Crab managed to destroy about 5 ennemy from all weight class including a king crab and a dakka wolf attacking them at the same time.

I just got ambushed by a fresh brawler King Crab (in my Dakka Wolf) and destroyed it. KGC might be the poor's man Inner Sphere Dire Wolf, but it is not OP.

It's certainly not unbeatable, but I find it fun to run so far, even without any unlocked efficiencies yet. I think it's a bit too early to make a final judgement on its power yet since everyone has their crabs at just basic level yet, probably. It does seem to catch a lot of the incoming fire to the CT, so an XL might not be out of the question, which should help with getting more double sinks in the engine and mitigate the heat problem a bit. It's very easy to overheat, at least my dual AC/20, dual ERLL, dual SRM-4 Crab. Then again I was getting Terra Therma all the time..

Oh, and I was just in a full 4 King Crab lance. That was fun. :)

None unless you pay for them with MC, but we just made a big stink about the MDG in the same situation and got the unlocks for it included.

They are budging on the "hero can only use that one camo" stance, but it is unclear whether they are going to give the KGC the faction camo or if that was just a promotional image.

The non Loyalty King Crab will be able to use the factional camo from the resistance pack thanks to them serving as the examples, but unless the pack exclusive/heroes can change their camo schemes you'll only be able to use it on the 000, 000B and 0000.

But do I need to buy these KGC with MCs? Or I can wait for the C-bills version?
