For RNG the lights could stand to be a bit taller.

My company has done enough work with universities, that I have learned and become jaded by two things:

1) Universities love the phrase "Hurry up and wait." Everything with them takes so darn long to get approved or funding secured, tgat by the time they are ready to do anything, it's now out dated.

2) They will take all the credit, unless you embarras them publicly about it.


I'm in agreeance with you because back in Feb it was Soon™ and said I wouldn't have to wait a year... The deadline for both statements was broke back in July ;)

ANOTHER GOD DAMN CLAN MECH?!

FFS
Seriously... At least give me a Vulcan. And the Stinger... And the Wasp... Valkyrie and Javelin too.
Throw in an Assassin, as well.

Cool...cool.

I normally don't buy clan mechs, but I'll think about this one.

Thing is...

On one side, I do like the Marauder, but on the other side of the coin, I already have Marauders lol. I mean the clan one is an assault and does carry clan weaponry, but it still looks just like the one I have.

On top of all of that, I generally don't care for assaults.

This would have been an easier decision for me had it been a Bushwacker :)

Look at the MAD-IIC this way, tanky hit boxes like a Marauder, with the option of running a cXL engine.

It's cool, but it's kinda meh? I was hoping IS would get some love here....and was hoping they would hold off on the IIC's for awhile. This kills the MK II chances for a good 6 months or more probably....oh well? Warhammer IIC next?

probably...which would have excited me more.... if the WHM had actualyl fit me at all. If they follow the reseen styling, it would have higher arms, at least. But only IIC I see myself wanting atm is the RFL.

technically, this is

but since that is by an outside studio, they pretty much went by the Reseen version

Well, I would say my chances of seeing the Assassin have all but officially gone the way of AD&D 2ed.

Knew it was along shot anyhow, but realyl hoped for it, just because it would have been a great scout for Battletech.

So we have the Warhawk only capable of having engine/endo/ferro/HS tweaks for the MADIIC?
Yay. Fast LPL build.

First mech I ever piloted (Mechwarrior 2 demo, 1995 - a demo which I played more than whole of some MW titles).
Loved the design (because of Macross), but the thing used to lose the legs easily...

I guess it was because of this mech I felt in love with Battletech. Not what I was expecting now, but I can't not love the Marauder IIC.

Meh. Not a bad mech, and looks almost exactly like the redesigned version except without the stupidly oversized torso.

Yet I'm not excited. I am a die hard clan player, and even I think what the game needed next was the Javelin or Assassin. IS mechs of a lower weight point. Light mechs, specifically, need some love.

I am just.....idk...I want to buy it, but I just dont see my self getting much use out of it...for sure the $20 pack, but for all the money I have given PGI in the last few months and before.....I wish could get an answer on my mech, same as you Bishop with the Assassin. It's the least imo Russ could do to show he appreciates customers....I am not saying I have paid so much and thus demand what I want ! Just to be heard is all, and answers, atleast on mech packs, I mean come one!

Pretty much guaranteed that PGI will have customs that are designed to have at least one meta wet dream considering there's only two tech-capable variants to be had.

They do want you to buy a mechpack.

I think this admission displays a remarkable lack of imagination.

(thx to Raubwurst & JSS78 for the tweet info)

As I said in another thread, I am just sad because so many, many good alternatives were available.
