I noticed that too. That would be disappointing. Also, why is there a duplicate chassis between collections? There are so many variants, that they could have added a different one instead of repacking the 3R with an (S) designation.

well the type of design the Marauder has, it will need AMS just like the King Crab or Stalker

Maybe I missed something, but why are the clan reinforcements listed under IS packages?

Can... Can IS pilots finally salvage clan tech?

Hey Alex,

Thanks for the update. But I do want to say as per the other thread going on in GD that the reason for this is a much larger issue with how the weighting of the game does not incentive's the use of lower engine sizes due to the sheer amount of mechanics that punish mechs with lower rated engines equipped.

This mech just brought out the issues that are inheret to how things like Acel, decel, and Twist speed are directly tied to the engine.

This change is great, but the bigger win is to hopefully long run better help out mechs that will be under similar restrictions by hopefully de-coupling some of the traits currently attached to the engine size.

Eh? Marauder is an IS design.

The entire reason a Timberwolf got its code name was because durring the initial invasion, the Targeting computers that saw the Timberwolves would rapidly cycle between trying to decide if the mech was a Marauder (MAD-3R) or a Catapult (CAT-C1.)

So the initial code name was created by combining the serial designations of the two IS mechs it resembled.

Marauder is all IS. Although the Clans have a IIC assault variant of the mech.

[WonderSparks]

IIIIIIII'm going slightly maaaaaad...

I'm serious. Announcing the Marauder, of all things, is going to drive me insane.
But crazy as I am already, especially for the Marauder, I'll do anything to buy this thing!

_{I'd just need the Wasp and I'd have every 'Mech from that old SNES game! *throws confetti into the air*}

No, no, I mean... Go to the page: https://mwomercs.com/marauder

Mouse over IS Packages and click on "Reinforcements"

Nice - now my dream of running it with 7SPLs will be realized.

You know what would make it even MORE awesome?

The next Hero Mechs should be Natasha Kerensky's Warhammer and Jaime Wolf's Archer.

[dwwolf]

I think its looking too wide.
Marauder without a small frontal profile aint a marauder.

[Biclor Moban]

Made some cockpit changes. in MS paint so don't expect much. Maybe the Textures just need to be a bit rougher for a IS Mech. Since they are SLDF era Mechs maybe they can be smoother?

Awesome! Faster and more maneuverable is always more fun.

[KuroNyra]

Now PGI. We need the Marauder IIC. And the Marauder II (100 tons of aweso... Her, can't make that joke here.)

[-Ramrod-]

I'd like to know the hard points for the new Marauders. Does anybody know? Or have a rough idea?

I caved and bought the $20 package and the $15 hero. As others have said its the fracking Marauder.

Now the iconic central mounted gun. I know Catalyst and PGI are giving Harmony may the burn in heeeelllll Gold the finger.

By moving the gun over they can honestly say hey its NOT the same. Look the big gun is not on the dorsal. And if it leads to this game getting balanced and the addition of the War Hammer and other iconic mechs then I can live with the offset gun.

Tanks, submarines, Humvee's, have dorsal guns is HG going to go after them?

Caved, the Bounty hunter took downgraded the engine to fit more weapons, if you change the engine you should lose the Hero bonus.

Uziel.

I think it's fine that they raised the engine limit. You of course lose firepower mounting a larger engine.

[Wolfenkalt Steinulfsson]

I believe that's an Uziel if I'm not mistaken.
