Pgi gave us our first Frankenmech the Jager, now if we can keep on this trend and give us more mechs that were salvaged and rebuilt using any available parts. could come up with something like this.

I wasn't much of a fan of the payload but I do like the look of the Crusader. It wasn't a bad Mech, there was better like the Archer though. Well Crusader could Jump if you liked that.

And is from Macross, like the Warhammer, Archer, Rifleman and Marauder.
Macross unseens are a big no-no, because Harmony Gold is satan's armpit.

Flashman... :-D

[Hit the Deck]

Why Flashman instead of Imp (ignoring that it's a Wolf Dragoon's 'Mech)? Flashman just vomits laser while Imp can carry 1-2 missiles just because and a variant can mount single Gauss. Not to mention that 2 variants has ECM.

Yep, there are still plenty of classic IS mechs that are out there. Some are not meta, but for us old timers, meeting familiar faces is what counts.

Flashman is a must for a Heavy.

Javelin is a good Light choice too.

For Medium we need the Assassin.

For Assault, Annihilator. Let the Dire Whale learn its place!


There you go PGI, for your next IS pack.

I always wonder why the Flashman isn't requested more.

[C E Dwyer]

very few left that I want those I do, are Unseen.

get a HG copyright sorted out, and i'll throw another big chunk at the game, if not my captial investment in MWO is going to dry up soon

I beg to differ. If PGI cared as little as you think, they would have ignored the outcome of the recent Phoenix poll and gone ahead and sold those packs again.

The forum community, or at the very least a sub-section of it, has shown that they can cow PGI into submission when needed.

Dude, I dont like to see it like this... we against them!

We are the client, we ask and they comply... we just need to ask properly, and politely... :-)

[Windsaw]

Scorpion.

Yeah, I know, we will never get it.

[Hellcat420]

I would like to have the two jade falcon battlemasters even tho the battlemaster c is fedcom civil war era. The red corsair battlemaster( 1gb iic) would fit the timeline tho

[Richard Hazen]

Hammer and Anvil as part of a Marik reinforcements pack.

I could totally get behind a Javelin. We've got a lot of light laser boats and machine gunners, but not a whole lot in SRM-boats, where the Javelin would shine (Save for the Fire Javelin. Though that mech is fantastic on the board, I don't know how well it would fare here). On the mediums side of things, I'd really like to see the Hermes II and Whitworth get included into the game, I don't think we've seen the either since Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries, if even that. they might even be a throwback all the way to Crescent hawks revenge, even though they're staple box set mechs. I'd also be glad to see the Assassin, though.

Also agreeing with the Flashman, but I'd also be happy with other rarely represented star league heavies. I'd far prefer to see the Guillotine make an appearance. Lancelots, Exterminators, and Bombardiers would be welcome additions. The Champion made it to Mechwarrior 3, which is still relatively modern feeling, but I wouldn't snub it.

On the Assaults side, all people tend to clamor for is the next thing to one-up the latest meta mech, and frankly, I hate that. "Bigger, and slower, and more guns" is just escalation. It's to the point now that all but one or two assaults are laughable. I want to see the Charger make it into the mix. Yes, stock chargers are crap, but tell me the last time anyone rode a stock anything on the field. I imagine a lot of scooty, heavily armored flashbulbs made from the 1A1, and some spooky AC20 builds on some of the other variants. The charger has not been seen since the Crescent Hawks games, even though it's supposed to be a more commonly seen (If loathed in it's stock variant) design.

I can't get behind the Annihilator or the Imp for the same reason I can't get behind the Flea as MWO mechs: They're meant to be Wolfs' Dragoons exclusive designs. Star league designs have been put in limited production as low-tech variants, and ComStar has been clinging to their old Star League mechs for centuries, doling them out to a few powers in exchange for favors, but wolfs' dragoons stuff doesn't get around the block for a while yet.
