3. And why is the same amount of Mechs in this package cheaper then Wave III of the Clans?
You even get more colors!

It comes to my mind that PGI is losing the focus to the Game and go more and more to money making and also take sides with IS only.

I have a more and more negative impression of PGI.

The reason is that, all things being equal, Clan mechs are still superior to IS mechs. Longer ranger, increased damage, more heavy weapons per 'Mech, and more manouverability in the Heavy/Assault classes (with the added protection of being impervious to XL kills). So increased cost in MC and C-Bills is a necesary to balance the game.

But I am curious to know if the "Omnipods" were a typo. I really hope so, because the IS does not need OmniPods.

Redundant Array of Expensive Mechs.

All of them shine of sameness.

Clan mechs are not that much better if at all, their light mehcs suck, their assault mechs are very limited, they only have like maybe 4 mechs to choose from, not to mention they nerfed the hell out of the lasers range and duration. Ultimately clans dont mean jack anymore.

Totally disagree with this one. There are plenty of IS mechs capable of standing up to equivalent clan mechs.

I believe the main reason is that clan mechs already come with DHS, XL engines and usually ferro and/or endo steel which makes up most of the cost difference.

Why isn't there a single Black Knight with Jump Jets???

Edit: Also, all energy except the Mauler? As excited as I am about the Wolfhound, Black Knight, and Mauler and want to buy them, I feel like this is a bad package. The last Resistance pack was an energy dense one too; why buy a duplicate? The chassis are great, don't get me wrong, it just would have been nice to have some more variety. With so many BattleMech options, surely a pack could have been constructed with more ballistic and missile options.

...And the lack of JJs on the Black Knight...Mmmm...I want my MW4 Black Knight, JJ'ing Black Knight with ECM and a ballistic slot. Otherwise, it's no different from a grounded Grasshopper. The MW4 one had two ballistic slots, JJs, and ECM if I recall correctly.

I like the art. disappointed with the lack of ECM on the Black Knight.

as before, quirks will make or break these mechs. also, would be nice to know which variants will be the special R ones. (here's hoping it's the JJ one for the Crab...)

I wanted to comment something along the lines of: "lol, the audacity! *expletives*expletives*".

But then I remembered the white knight brigade is probably already on its way to get itself fleeced.

While I don't believe that on paper there is an IS 'mech that can beat a Clan 'mech (unless we're looking in the Light category...but even then we see different roles, so it's hard to say with certainty), the above quote is most likely more accurate then the statement it was responding to.

Well there goes another $80

If you need Black Knight with Jump jets, buy Grasshopper.

[Scout Derek]

Sold

[FindersWeepers]

PGI pls gib actual content not just mechs. Give Alex a break godddam that guy works hard

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

I'm super tempted.

Unfortunately, the Wolfhound seems likely to be an inferior Firestarter.

The Crab looks fun.

The Black Knight seems likely to be an inferior Grasshopper.

The Mauler doesn't look as dumb as anticipated, and its hardpoints look very nice indeed.

I hope that the quirks get a reveal prior to May 31st.

[Dawnstealer]

Awesome.

Bad: I don't get paid again until the 10th, so I'll miss out on the Jag

Good: I don't have Jags and don't want to grind them, so this isn't necessarily a bad thing

Well played sir. Well played indeed!

Interesting...probably still going to pass again on this but at least they look nice. We'll see how they actually look in game though...
