PGI, any chance we could see some 3D models of the Jag and Executioner? Almost exactly a month 'till release, these exist, right? *poke* *poke* I wanna see my glorious death machines!

[KursedVixen]

Wish they would relase all four in june instead of june and july...

[DebaucheryNShenanigans]

MAYBE an early RELEASE like hellbringer on a double point XP weekend too...

That would also aleviate the problem of flooding the queues with the chassis that happen tp be released that month. With all four at once you spread the "damage"

[Cimarb]

They are doing two at a time, at least.

Oh, and there is a view of the eJag model somewhere around here. Too lazy to find it, though...maybe in the last weekend update?

Awesome! Thanks!

Okay, for some bizarre reason my printscreen key isn't working >_> How annoying... and weird...

It's got a lot less bulk than I thought it would from the original art! But, I see that was a perspective illusion, now The model is very close to the art.

Those SRM2 barrels are surprisingly long though... it almost looks like.... ZOMG! That's the UAC/20 on the EBJ-A! It's lasers, and it's AC are that high?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh god, this mech is going to be SOOOOOO sweet <3

Wait... that model shows a Gauss Rifle, a UAC/20, and an LB-5X all on the same machine... *does math* Technically possible, I suppose... just... one ton of ammo for each pretty much, and no armor. (clearly just a tech demo, but still)

cancelled my preorder as PGI has determined that in order to make IS players feel good they are going to nerf the Clans into the ground

[Cimarb]

The vast majority of the playerbase has pushed for the SCR/TBR to be nerfed, including many of us Clan players. They must be brought down a notch, so that the rest of our mechs can be brought up appropriately.

Personally, I never had a problem with either Timbies, or Scrows... I don't like my Scrows, and never bought a Timbie yet, but go for the GIANT shoulders, and they pop pretty quickly

I think the increase in laser duration quirk sucks, though. The Clans lasers are already just awful for how long they take to do their magic. I think decreasing the burst duration on the A/Cs would have helped diversify the field in a more fun way. Clanners take lasers, cuz that's really the only viable weapon, aside from Gauss. But, time will tell I suppose... I'll be switching over to the clans as soon as Wave III hits next month. :3 (Actually, I'll probably switch right after I finish hitting this next rank, and get another mechbay )

I'm alright with the nerf to the 4N. It wasn't like... totally OP. But, it was perhaps a little above where it should be. And the modest decrease in buffs, I suspect, will bring it in line.

[Cimarb]

I totally agree with all that.

When I look at the CJF Coloured Mad Dog model, it shows a blue colour along with the green and yellow, but that is not part of the pack. Am I missing something? It looks really good.

The paint job is an iridescent texture, just like 'The Arrow".

You can get a rough estimate (accurate to within a Million, generally) by breaking down the mech into basic components, and use this guys spreadsheet to make it easier:

I have my own updated sheet with c-bill breakdowns/predictions that have been accurate to the c-bill in some cases. Really shows where some glaring inaccuracies are compared to the established pattern that have not been addressed.

It'll be around the 20-22mil mark.

So you are saying you dont understand the dynamics in question...particularly how after the Invasion the IS produces far far better tech and proceeds to **** the Clans...


Perspective...its useful

In this game the IS will be equal to Clans through the Invasion and then get far far better..what do they do then?

The IS never produced better tech... (different tech, like Heavy/Light gauss, but never just outright better) They rofl-stomped the Clans because they waged war on them. No holds barred, slash and burn warfare. The Clans rigid code of conduct was all about reducing waste. As such, this insulated them from many of the aspects of war as we know it today. The IS, meanwhile, had huge masses of resources. Far more industry and raw materials. Plus, they came together, and pooled all of these resources. Something the Clans would never do.

So when Operation Bulldog, (and Taskforce Serpent) hit the Jaguars, they attacked EVERYTHING. Facilities and materials that, in clan warfare, would have been left untouched and ceeded to the victor.

Real warfare is significantly different from the way the Clans do battle. Their rigid adherence to it left them unable to adapt, and they were simply decimated.
