LPL and Gauss... Cool combination, but boring if mounted on every single 'Mech..

Everything on a Marauder is new and fresh.

And sexy.

With JJs.

When i replied this morning i had no idea that the MAD pack was real! (Didn't watch the town hall or read general discussion, and just after replying RL required my attention) I thought you were just theorycrafting, MischiefSC.



It's too early to know, but if the art is to be trusted, the arms look higher than the crab's, perhaps because the legs look quite long. I'm not counting on it to be XL friendly, time will tell how the hitboxes are.

Now... i have a problem, i want to keep my old rusty battlemaster in the drop deck, the Marauder has a slot reserved... and i don't know what to do with the 80 tons left...
Jumping Cicada + Cicada?
Hunchie + Urbie?
Dragon + Locust?

BJ 1X and a FS9.

I'm as stoked as anyone, but I'll need to see the Marauder in action before I build a CW dropdeck with it. Assuming it is a solid chassis, I could easily go with 2 MAD/2 BJ.

The things I'm thinking about for the MAD:
* Heat
* Low slung energy hardpoints
* Limited hardpoint numbers could dictate a bias towards heavy weapon loadouts exclusively

Still thinking. Might come up with more.

I think more people would have to play CW for that to even matter....ive checked the pop the last few days, 5hrs left, less then 20 people on it.....and some times even less then 10...

People don't get on CW until around the 2 hour mark

Marauder confirmed by Russ in latest townhall. Hero Marauder is Bounty Hunter I believe.

This honestly makes me reconsider the argument I am having with myself on dropping more money into this game. I just don't play it very often anymore, but a Marauder might make me perk up and give it another shot...which is probably precisely why they're doing this. Suck in the old Battletech fanboys.

We'll see.

I don't see the Marauder being much more remarkable than an Orion. It wont be any more XL friendly than you would say a K2 is XL friendly. If it can run dual gauss it can cope with the weight of a std engine much better than a K2. I havent even looked into what hardpoints it has or even if PGI has released that info.

A lot also depends on what the hell is going on with the rebalance. A lot of it is automated now and armor is something that they seemed to have found is easy to automate.
