soooo

will we see a double cockpit?

And what will its loadout/hardpoints be?

[Paigan]

Double cockpit?
What for?
And is it worth the "we would have to rewrite half the game to implement that" effort?
Think of all the other stuff that could be made a reality with those man-decades of work.

Sometimes it's hard to see where people get their illusions from ...

Sorry, but not enough variants, let alone to be in lore (Mind you only seen in MW4: Mercs) to be a viable mech to be in this game.

Nevermind.

Ahh okay, thought you meant the Clan Variant. Well, all I can say is that it'll have a few energy heat gen quirks for it.

Sooo a 1G with some Star League upgrades and a dual cockpit...

[Malleus011]

So, presumably a Command Console (snicker) and BAP ... perhaps ECM?

Which in the TRO, IIRC, is just a command console.

It will not have ECM.

It will be better than the 1G because it will be in the gift store.

8 energy hardpoints. It'll depend on whether they give it the bad 1G agility or the good 1D agility. Also: quirks.

Could be a better-armored TDR-5SS to compete with the Gargoyle (for whatever that's worth).

[Malleus011]

It wouldn't harm anything if it did have ECM, and it has just as much justification for it as the AS7-D-DC.

I know, but Russ said it will not.

Did he? I just heard him say the CTF will have ECM.

[Malleus011]

Hmm. I kind of assumed it would have, since they were adding it. Otherwise, do we really need another Battlemaster variant, with pretty much the same hard points as the current ones?

I mean, I'm happy to have it, and it's easy for PGI to implement, but unless it is a 'command' model, why would they expect people to drop $ for it in the gift store?

they hope people are stoopid

that or it will have clearly better quirks than those in the game, the new HGn got an armour buff none of the old ones have

or of course they are redoing the 3d model to make it look like

in which case my mortgage is going on it

Dual cockpits unlikely, probably just include a command console on it.

The original TT variant was a Command Mech, 2 cockpits and a C3 master so the commander could actually be in the battle area and coordinate everything without having to deal with piloting the Mech in combat at the same time. Keep in mind, old Star League variant, it had some higher tech toys than most IS Mechs by 3000.
