A wolf's Dragoon's mech pack would be great for the next IS mech pack. Then maybe a star league era mech pack release for IS.

The Wolf Dragoon's mech pack would consist of an Annihilator, wardog or gallowglas, Hoplite, Falcon or Flea or firefly.

Just putting it out there.

If we actually played that game non-stop, those of us doing it would end up being alcoholics.



Why don't things get fixed? Because there are players clamoring to pay money for more mechs, even bad ones, regardless of the state of the game.

It's the fact that people keep asking for the bad ones that irks me. Like, seriously, screw the Flea.

To be honest, the War Dog looks pretty awesome. Its an IS mech with ECM that can Gauss Vomit. I want it. Only one variant though.

Aside from the War Dog, I could leave the rest, and we already have equivalent mechs of most of them. Gallowglas is more or less a Grasshopper.

[NextGame]

We are due some actual functionality content rather than more mech packs at the moment.

[CMDR Sunset Shimmer]

I'd be ok with this... but let's get one glairing issue out of the way.

Yes, there are many "redundant" mechs in Battletech. THUG is basically a wider, thicker Warhammer. Gallowglass is basically a Grasshopper, ect. WE KNOW THIS.

But that doesn't matter, stop and think, even if some mechs are crap mechs... there are some mechs that have just, never made it into a mechwarrior game... There's some mechs that would just be neat to see running around the battlefield occasionally.

THAT'S part of the reason we keep clamoring for weird mechs the average player is like "da fawk?" over... because we finally have a chance to see lesser known mechs brought to life in a mechwarrior game. I mean come on MW4's Blackknight was an entirely different beast to ours. We've NEVER had the Cataphract from what I remember, and some of them I know for a fact we haven't seen since at least Mechwarrior 2... and let me remind you all, you could only make out the basic shape of a mech in MW2, polygon's man... that's what we had to go on back then... no cool, textured models.

Yes, we need more other content, but guess what, the guy's working on mechs ARE NOT THE SAME ONE'S WORKING ON THE OTHER CONTENT. They do mechs, that's their job!

Low hardpoints, IS tech, unattractive drawings on sarna, ECM about to get nerfed.

I'd pass.

Can we stop with the "low hardpoint" elitisim? like seriously, I suppose you're going to say Marauder and Warhammer are DOA because of this problem too?

The Marauder has some torso mounted hardpoints so it does not have to rely on just the arm hardpoints. The Warhammer will be similar to the Hellbringer but looks to have slightly lower ST hardpoints. It is also not elitism to favour higher hardpoints because they are just generally more effective with the maps we have.

Marauder's issue is we suspect that it won't XL engine well. Clan mechs don't have to worry about this issue as much, but anyone who gets side shots at a Marauder is probably going to have no issue whatsoever taking out the ST.

I actually think the Warhammer's torso hardpoints are acceptable but some will disagree.

I see some decent torso hardpoints there, and Alex would make it look good. But that is true, ECM is about to get nerfed... sucks.

no... it's elitist bs. I can do just fine in mechs with low slung hardpoints.

It's tryhards, that refuse to adapt, and have to have the "Optimum" placement of everything that make this game a frustrating bag of garbage when I hear crap like this constantly.
