What's the next mech we start campaigning for with the Urbanmech and King Crab out, besides the Unseen/Reseen, the standard Crab?

We were given some of the ReSeen already. And if we got Marauders & Warhammers There would be Sooooo much OP crying!

It's time to get our hands on a propper redone Marauder now. Screw HG and show them we can do it right.
I call thou forth MoonUnitBeta and thou Marauder competition. May there be a renewed hope for old veterans for the old machines again!

Let me rephrase the Unseen/Reseen to the ones that will take an act of whatever God/Old One you believe in to get in game. At least in their current state they will never be forgotten; "What is dead cannot die",and all that jazz.

Honestly I do not want any more mechs and I do not want any more time wasted on creating new mechs I do not want any more quirks, paint jobs, camo's, animation tweaks, nerfs etc. Yes I love them all and want them all and yes I want to see them all in game however we have more important business on the table.

CW is a fantastic concept but it takes a large player base to keep it working well. Right now I see most planets changing hands via attack or defense with no opponent. I can't tell you how boring this is to wait and wait and wait then finally get dropped and then there is no one home. Great way to ruin a good thing.

We see a sale a week and what is it all for. To draw more sales and people into the fold? Personally I feel that to draw more people here would be maps maps maps and to clean up some of the old ones that are rough. We saw a small rush with CW but that was short lived. We can have a million mechs but we need more play grounds to play them on. We really need some new concepts other worldly ideas that stimulate the mind as well.

We have the holy trinity Shadow hawk, Wolverine, Griffin. we have the Locust and the Battlemaster, unless they were not protected by HG we CAN have Marauders (See Timber Wolf and Catapult) Warhammer if made like the Hammerhands...?

well, flea has been on the backburner for a while, and mauler was already announced, but we havent seen it, and something like the black knight (that got edged out by grasshopper by what, 1 or 2 votes?) has a place in CW with its energy builds.

There are also a bunch of minimal effort mechs that could come in as they are offshoots of existing chassis.

If PGI think about it for a bit, based on how urbanmech goes, they should think about doing a PGI version of the Marauder, with the caveat being that it has to sell x to get made. This approach would let them know how far they can deviate from the original designs without it being a major issue with the player base.

The Black Knight will be a nice addition so long as it has a Knight in armor feel to it. I was no fan of teh Dark Age Art for this Mech.

Stinger? Archer? I'd give my Jager's left arm for a bona-fide Marauder or Rifleman, but yeah. Not holding my breath.

EDIT: I'd love to see a quirk on the Rifleman that allows you to flip your shooting arms up and back 180 degrees with just a press of a button.

All I can think of is a game on Tabletop I won by having 2 Jagermechs flip their arms backwards and run away like sissies to win.

It is sexy... But the way Clan Ultras work... The Hunchback IIC would not be fearsome here.

No compaign needed it will very surely be the next IS heavy they get after the resistance pack. The vote back then was just to decide which one is coming first.

You mean like this?

Cause that's the Dark Age art for the BLK-NT-5H... It looks pretty knight-like to me, I dunno about you though.
