Help me understand please.

I like all the mechs in this pack but sadly there a lil something that tells me to not buy it, If i had the certitude that the game would go on for the next 10 years i would, but again there no such thing

Because i love it?
It is a cool 'Mech, Phelan Kell's first ride, and has some nice weaponry. I do not think that every single light in the game should go at 151+ kph and zoom in behind enemy mechs firing small lasers. You know, things like "roles"

If i want to do hit-and-run, i can use my Jenner as well, which also has a few nice missile hardpoints i can use.. But yesterday i finally bought a Firestarter, with the only purpose of recreating a Wolfhound.. And it is pretty funny

Besides, i just do not like the idea that i cannot take any light beside the Firestarter..

Might be tempted to just go a-la-carte for a change so I can get the Mauler..

However, according to the FAQ, early adopter al a carte do not receive the early adopter rewards....which is strange as all other sales provided such rewards.

This sale is straight garbage. when you drop vs clans its wall-to-wall ECM that gets rotated thru the match. This is the 3rd IS package offered for sale (Phoenix, Resistance 1, Resistance 2) and only what the locust gets ECM? One out of 12 mechs is pretty much shenanigans here.

I agree.
I bought the Founders, Pheonix, 1/2 of Resistance 1, Clan Wave 1 and 2, and said "NO MORE $$$" until I see a "Decent" IS ECM Medium and/or Heavy. On Tukayyid I saw 3 mechs, can you guess?
I want a Medium or Heavy with a good load out and quirks that competes with the Hellbringer with a 30% CB bonus like the Hellbringer Prime and all you "Pay to Win" people can go S**** Your Self.
Check my acct. PGI, No ECM No $$$

You realize the main reason they decided not to go with a Black Knight ECM variant for now is because they're releasing the CTF-0X, which does have ECM. If you just want to buy an ECM heavy then you can keep an eye out in the Gift Store for that Cataphract later this month.

I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, just trying to help by pointing out that an IS heavy with ECM is coming.

I won't be surprised if we get an ECM Black Knight in the future, just not right now. We're still a bit early in the timeline for an ECM Black Knight.

Is that for sure something that's happening?!? I know they mentioned they were considering it in the Town Hall, but I thought they chose the Griffin and pitched the 'Phract...

From Russ's May Road Map:

May 19

- Faction and unit chat now available in the Queue lobby.
- VOIP (voice transmission quality improvements)
- BattleMaster BLR-2C and Cataphract CTF-0X variants - Gift Store first.
- New Mastery bundles.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, it is coming. The BattleMaster is also a variant that comes with a command console, so hopefully the command console gets some love before it comes out, but we'll have to see.

For the Cataphract the "EW Equipment" it has evolves into the BAP and ECM suite and is located in the Left Torso, and also weighs in at 7.5 tons. It also has a remote sensor dispenser in the center torso. BAP and ECM combined only weigh 3 tons (the EW Equipment takes up 4 crits, the same space as both items, so that doesn't change) . . . so what happens to the extra 4.5 tons of the "EW Equipment" turning into BAP and ECM and the extra .5 ton from the remote sensor dispenser is anyone's guess.

Might be Heat Sinks, Armor, Engine, Weapons . . . or a combination of the above. The 0X is 3 tons shy on armor, so it could come with max armor to fill a bunch of the gap. Then you're still left with 2 extra tons left over . . . so a medium laser in the CT (where the sensor dispenser is) or just two extra single heat sinks is not out of the question. Either way I'm sure PGI will get it figured out and the CTF-0X will be a nice addition to Inner Sphere assets.

EDIT: Personally, I think the Command Console should give 10% sensor range and 20% Target info gathering for EVERYONE ON YOUR TEAM, while acting as a permanent ECM shield for the mech it's equipped on. But that's just me. It'd make it far more useful and quite unique in functionality than being an overweight and terribly watered down targeting computer.

Flipping awesome! n.n I know what i"m going to be feeding PGI's money trough for next!

This is especially awesome, cuz it might be because of me! I suggested the 0X it in the "Feature Suggestion" Forums a couple months ago n.n

Also... I suspect an ECM Black Knight will appear as a Hero Mech down the line...

Also... Holy crap! Did everyone notice they updated the Resistance 2 pack artwork? O_O

The BK looks VICIOUS... though, I rather liked it before... hopefully these are interpretations of the ® versions. and the normal ones will still be normal...

The Crab's pincers look terrifying...

The wolfhound is slightly more dorky, though XD It's clever, the way Alex made it look like a wolf-skull, and gave it little ears... but it's the only smooth lines on the whole mech...

The mauler.... looks like someone set a paint can on top of the door, and it walked through it. But, honestly, what were you gonna do with that thing to make it look mean? XD

wellps as I said earlier they were gonna go wolf ears on the resistance geo probably might not be what others that wanted weird heads hoped for but it still looks nice.

True, but they are only cockpit items and at the end of the day I have enough premium time to last me almost a year and a half right now...

Well... there's the 4th variant, also...

[The Boneshaman]

are these the champion mechs?
looks sexy better than the gold looking ones

wish I didn't have to wait almost 6 month to get them
I can under stand if we are buying in to a expansion like warcraft but we are just getting early mechs that probably wont be for sell for c bills in December. I can see waiting 2 maybe 3 month at most but.
I WANT MY CLAN WAVE 3 AND RESISTANCE WAVE2 NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!
