Most mech announcements have been on Wednesdays. Will we see the new mech tomorrow? I'm thinking it will be the Victor, Cyclops, Mauler... but hoping for the Highlander. We need a 90 tonner with JJ.

I'd be happier to see some of the mechs already disclosed enter the game. I hear that the Raven is coming out soon and I for one can't wait! :D

Dont forget these are the general forums. So the appropriate topic we can discuss here are the announced mechs.

We are discussing mechs TO BE released, not the mechs already in.

Odanan, I'd be a little careful what you post since that is from the BETA section and is probably an NDA breach.

It was posted on the BETA section... not open to anyone who is not in BETA therefore its probably considered privaliged information... I'd be wary...

Lol, no problem, just don't wanna see a community member executed for trying to be helpful. Just keep an eye on where you get the information from in the future, and where it is you are posting it. cheers!

Cocking shotgun !! Where did Odanan go......... :)


Thanks for the edit Odanan, and thanks to everyone for watching out for the NDA and a community user.


It is CORRECT !!

BETA info is not to be published, copied, talked about publicly, or video taped or screen captured.

Posting BETA info Publicly. is a NO NO.


Enjoy the game everyone.

Yes, it was a very newbie's move... I guess I should pay more attention when quoting a quote...

One thing I was thinking about the other day was that they will have to start announcing clan mechs soon. Or they could just save them all up I guess, but with the action going down next year there will have to be a build up to all the clan models being released when the clan comes.

I for one would like to see the Grasshopper or Victor and then do a death from above on a light mech. I hope they include the damage in the game for physical attacks like that or running into someone at full speed.

Indeed.

They can keep the suspense for some time but eventually they will need to put these clan mechs in test.

Anyway, as things go, I suppose we won't see clan tech in game for the next 6 months.

I don't think there will be second line Clan Mechs (Stone Rhino, Goshawk, Kodiak, etc) within the published ones in the early days of the Clan Invasion. The PO made a nice list with Clan Omnimechs that are known / common during the first days of invasion.

It will probably trickle in as weapons and stuff first.

I think the Victor will be the next Assault, but hey, I would love if it was the Cyclops.

Looking at the CP-11-B specifications, I felt in love. Two Gauss* in an Assault mech: that would be a dream.

*you can do that in a Victor too, but the mech has less room for secondary weapons.

Isn't Flea an IS mech?

Direwolf and Timberwolf will be in the game. We should see they announced next year.
(Direwolf will be the ultimate Assault Mech in the game for a long time)
