Please share you preferences.
Maybe PGI will pay attention to your preferrences.
As for me I would like to add Bushwacker, which production starts exactly in 3053. And maybe 95ton Albatros) but his hardpoints are equal to orion. For clans, i think 50ton hellhound could be interesting. In mw4 it was pretty cool mech(with ballistic hardpoints for lbx autocannon).. More than 90kmph. With pulse lasers, srms and lbx...
So :
- Bushwacker
- Hellhound
- Phoenix Hawk
- Guillotine
- Cyclops
- Lancelot
- Archer
- Firefly
- Champion
- Grand Crusader
- Longbow
- Turkina
- Linebacker
- Kodiak

- Albatros
- Hatamoto
- Thug
- Charger
- Bombardier
- Venom

These are mechs up to 3053.
Hatamoto and Thug looks the same as Awesome with the same hardpoints and weaponry.
Charger is the same as Gargoyle - players found it a bit useless. Med mech on steroids. Ok, i add it to list.
Bombadier even looks on sarna similar to Archer. But Archer is a lot more popular. Separately is the list of mechs which don't seem to be popular among players, because they either similar to existing in mwo or non unique-famous as marauder for example. Hatchetman will be good if PGI add melee weapons or some operations. Of course everything is argueable)

Bushwacker should definitly be in. It looks totally different from what we already got.

[Ialdabaoth]

I want the Phoenix Hawk IIC so bad I can taste it.

And the Hatamoto.

The regular Phoenix Hawk would be pretty sweet, too.

[Trynn Allen]

Guillotine, Thug, Charger, Lancelot, Archer, Bombadier, Firefly, Cyclops, and DEFINATLY the Grand Crusader.

Bushwhacker, Phoenixhawk, venom, Longbow, Turkina, Linebacker, Kodiak, Mad Cat MkII (3060 so not for your time), Blood Asp, and of course the Hachetman.

Plus some of the others already mentioned.

[Kalimaster]

I would love to see the Bushwacker. Not to mention the Super Nova.

[TheArisen]

Here's my list. You can read more here: http://www.sarna.net...by_weight_class

- Javelin, 30t light, missile boat. Only the Oxide is comparable.

- Hussar, 30t light, high mounted energy, big engine

- Assassin, 40t medium, missile boat, light hunter, fills unfilled role.

- Rajin, 50t medium, High mounted weapons, energy & missiles

- Anvil, 60t heavy, ECM, high mounted energy, jump jets

- Dragon Fire, 75t heavy, high mounted energy & ballistics, ECM (technically it's 3058 but I want it badly)

- Penetrator, 75t heavy, high mounted energy, missile variant, ECM, jump jets

- Gunslinger, 85t assault, good hard points, energy & ballistic, ECM

- Nightstar, 95t assault, high mounted weapons, energy & ballistic

[Juodas Varnas]

I just want a Vulcan, man.

[Myke Pantera]

Javelin, Assassin, Vulcan, Phoenix Hawk, Hermes (II), Clint in no particular order.

If I had to pick one it would be Vulcan or Phoenix Hawk.

Edit: I forgot Lancelot and Hatchetman.

Actually yeah, the Hussar would be amazing.

Pls, before writing your desires check the list at first post. I'll update the list on monday. I'll also separate it on clan and innersphere tech. Btw, do you think vulcan can compete with other sametonnage mechs? His weapons are just anti-infantry. Will be ok, if pgi add ai soldiers, vehicles and elementals. At first sight looks a bit useless, in current circumstances. Even urbanmech has more firepower.

The only other IS mech in his weight bracket is the Cicada. He is rather quick. Has Jump Jets. One variant with MASC. A mix of energy and ballistic hardpoints. I don't see why it wouldn't be a good addition to the game.

[Spleenslitta]

I just want my Firebee. It's an ancient light mech from the 1st generation of battlemechs. We're talking Mackie era here.
But it's an unseen and it has only 1 viable variant and it's supposed to be extinct for about 20 more years when 2 upgraded Firebee's show up in Liao hands.

But they could make new variants just like they have done with some hero mechs. Awwww...Who am i kidding? They won't do that....

Also, let me sell you on the 80-ton Charger.

CGR-1A1 is an amazing "what he hell" mech - 400 engine, 5 small lasers. (Energy hard points: HD, RA, LA, CT, CT). It would be an excellent candidate for an ECM-capable IS assault mech.
CGR-1A9 is an actual assault mech - 320 engine, 1 small laser, 4 medium lasers, 1 LRM-20. (Energy hard points: HD, RA, LA, RT, LT; Missile hard points: LT; max engine: 360)
CGR-3K is where things get interesting - 400XL engine, 4 medium pulse lasers, 1 Artemis LRM20, and 5 jump jets. (Energy hard points: HD, RT, RT, RT; Missile hard points: LT, LT; max engine: 400; max jump jets: 5)
CGR-1A5 is a good Champion candidate mech - 240 engine, 1 small laser, 1 medium laser, 2 SRM-6, 1 AC/20 (Energy hard points: HD, RA; ballistic hard points: RT, RT; Missile hard points: LT, LT, LT; max engine: 320)
Finally, the CGR-SB "Challenger" is your Hero mech, with 4 Large Lasers and one small laser (Energy hard points: HD, RA, RA, LA, LA, RT, LT; max engine: 320)

[Nesutizale]

For the laser lovers -> FLS-8K Flashman

Just think 100t Urban Mech -> IMP-3E Imp (It looks like a giant Urby.)

If quads would work and if you want something completly different ->
GOL-3M Goliath
SCP-10 Scorpion

A classic Mech -> ARC-4M Archer

Don't know why but I like it -> VLK-QD Valkyrie

If you can't have enough ACs-> ANH-2A Annihilator

It dosn't make sense at first but us quite interesting -> ALB-3U Albatros

From all of these I think I would favor the Albatros the most. I like mixed weapons loadouts and the Albatros can fit a lot of different systems.
Also the head looks very interesting.

If it wouldn't take another year, timeline wise,the T-IT-N10M Grand Titan would also be on my list.

You do realize that would only makes sense if it was Stock configuration only?
When was the last time you saw a completely stock 'mech running about (if the guy wasn't trolling that is), eh?

Forget about those stock mechs. It isn't interesting for vast majority of people.
Tonnage restrictions are still there despite replacable weapons and this old mech was developed exactly for antiinfantry operations. Any locust could replace it on battlefield. Ok, I'll add it) Anyway developers consider what they will add, we are just making a list of our desires.
