Then we have the Star League 'Mechs which are mostly found in Comstar/WoB as well as in some of the Clan second line units:

Thorn, Flea, Hornet, Mongoose, Falcon, Hermes, Hussar, The Sentinel, Wyvern, Kintaro, Champion, Lancelot, Bombardier, Guillotine, Flashman, Thug

Just going to add to that list the Firebee (Star League Era Liao mech) . . . I really liked that mech. The notoriety for carrying Inferno SRMs probably had something to do with it.

Also, I know they're basically extinct in MWO as they're so rarely seen . . . but we've already got the Kintaro.

The Firebee is fun, like the Von Rohrs in the similar time frame, but it is a heavy for Kurita

Can we please get Faction Specific 'Mechs?


I am hoping more than anything that this is the next major project! If they would combine it with faction specific quirks (with negative quirks to offset the bonuses for fairness sake and so Factions with a weaker stable can be buffed to a competitive state), I think that FP would become the go to place. There would finally be more depth than Clan vs IS. Even if they kept the 2 bucket systems, the idea that each faction would bring its strengths and weakness, which would make for incredibly interesting matches.

I really, really like the Gauntlet, it is essentially the Bushwacker 2.0, and there are many more DA-units I would love to see. I mean, the Götterdämmerung has immediately become one of my favourites.

Unfortunately though the DA-units are a bit out of place in MWO and there are many Mechs which should be added first (and without the need of the time-machine - seriously, I would pay for a DA-game...).



I know, but the Gauntlet is a better Bushwacker... 5/8 with both MASC and a Supercharger... Zoom, ZOOM!

When I look at the Gauntlet, I see what the Bushwacker should have been....

decimal translation is straight March 14, and is related to an Official MWO tweet that translates: New Equipment INfo".

No civil war like the a Marik Civil War.

Anything else is just a poor imitation.

I'm aware of the SN-PPC's status as experimental since the Amaris civil war, it took only 300 years for it to enter production :P

Would be a neat touch if they changed the Protector after the time-skip to match Kerensky's loadout (PPC replaced with SNPPC, CASE and +0.5 tons of armor)
