5) The Ostman Industries pack. Ostwar, Ostroc, Ostsol and Ostscout. Why a pack? Because nobody ever asked for an Ostmech. :D They're not gonna sell well solo, but a reasonably priced pack might do okay.



I'd like the see the Ostmann Industries pack promoted as a discount mech sale. reflected as a single pack costing $50 with all the Ostmann mechs and three varients for each (and some made up "P" variants for the Ostwars).
"Crazy Ostmann's Battlemechs clearance sale!", "We have Ostroc's, Ostsol's, Ostscout's and OstWars! And they Ost Gotta go!"
"You order now, we will throw in custom geometry, Absolutely free!" ;)

The Ostmechs are not only ugly, but very boring. There are better things to add to the game...

Jeeze, where is the Wolfhound?

We have seen all the other in-game models weeks ago. The Black Knight is set to launch next week.

Still no Wolfhound.

It's more elusive than Bigfoot.

Finally updated the OP with Marauder and Unseen info.

BTW, have you noticed the release of the Cicada 3F put us in at least 3052?

Sadly, as much as I want them, it's not viable right now.

There's only 2 Quads in-timeline, and they'd need as much or more work than the Clans took to implement.
We need to hit around 3100 for it to be really worth adding in game.

I was in the startup sequence today and out of the corner of my eye, the Raven and Adder managed to combine into the Anubis for me. For an instant there, I got super excited, then realized what I was seeing.
I want more and interesting Lights.

Updated the OP with new assignment tables. Included all the "Macross" Unseen, which we will probably see very soon.

Assignment tables:

MWO IS mechs (year 3039):

Notes:
  • The second Draconis Combine column is for Kurita A rated units (they have much more old Star League stuff).
  • The Mauler in the table is the earlier Dabuku (the Mauler itself is produced only in 3048, but would quickly replace the Dabuku).
  • The Wolfhound variants, by 3039, are basically prototypes. The standard Wolfhound is produced in 3052.
  • The Black Knight is very rare by 3039, but resumes production in 3052.
Extra IS mechs (strong candidates that can be added any moment):

And the Clans, 3050 (invading force):

Info compiled from here. (thanks to Sennin for finding the link).
