Specific theorycrafting:

[Lynx7725]

I think it's more likely that we will see more second-line Clan mechs, for the PGCs that are lore-wise being brought up in the timeline. That means non-Omni clan tech, which IMO would bring possibly more variety to the lineup.

One thing is that PGI should bring in a way to differentiate Omnis from non-Omnis positively. Currently, the performance gain via full customization by IS mechs (if brought over to Clan second-line mechs) are such that the Clan second-lines would likely become preferred over most Omnis, whereas in-Lore Omnis are cutting edge because of the operational and strategic advantages they brought to the touman (which is not represented well in game).

If the Omnis don't get some sort of advantage, then user preference would likely slide towards Clan second line mech. Given the performance disparity between IS and Clan mechs, it's also likely that more IS players would swap to Clan second line mechs, and this is not good from various perspectives.

[Alistair Winter]

I'm only interested in Unseen IIC mechs. That's the only thing I'm potentially paying for, at this point.

• Shadow Hawk IIC

• Phoenix Hawk IIC

• Griffin IIC

• Rifleman IIC

[Lynx7725]

You missed the 'Hammer IIc, which is potentially one of the de-facto Clan second-line. MAD IIc is also good, but I like the brutality the Hammer promises.

but really its likely to come after the next wave of IS if at all,
considering that IS are getting the (Return of a Icon) Mechs as Single Packs,
perhaps Clans will get some Singles as well for abit, would be a Nice Change,

Could bring about the possibility of Clan Hero mechs - the one at a time release thing again.

I would actually love to see some IS Omnis, timeline be darned!

No more waves.

Jumbo Packs are bad, and people asking for them should feel bad. Wouldn't mind there next group of mechanical being Clanners, but only if released singlely, like the Unseen.

The jumbo packs is the best for their values if you want everything on there.

Colours, camouflages, war horns, and cockpit items are all things I want in a package. As well as a 4th variant. getting the early tiers may be bad, for eg comparing say Clan Wave III Ach with the Performance Light pack, but if you try to compare say an Executioner pack for clan wave III or the highlander IIC of origins to say a bunch of marauders, archers, warhammer.
I would have more value with the big packs.

I do not want to spend 40 dollars each time on a light mech I want- ie a Wasp, Stinger, Valkrie, Firemoth (if only...) Flea, Howler, Piranha, Raptor, etc. Just to get a few standards, a premium version, and probably lots of c-bills and modules to compensate... like a Small laser range boost on a flea will really help me...
Sure- getting the 20/40 dollar style for say a marauder is quite good for value, especially since their is a hero mech option. It is better to say buy a marauder this way than a la carte a Timberwolf (or summoner), if I instead got the package of that tier (for extra money) giving me a light ,medium, and the heavy, with 3 sets of faction packs (3 colours each, 3 cockpit items, 3 skins), etc...

Call me an idiot all you want but I would prefer to buy these packages.... unless it's a kodiak, I am more than happy to pay 40 dollars up front for it or 55 for a hero one.... or 100 for a collectors super edition extreme early pre order special.

Why not get one IN timeline instead?

We're less than a month for 3052, the first IS omnimech, the Raptor. It actually has double heatsinks too so no hard wired singles. (even though singles are buffed and have the same heat capacity as clans DHS more or less)

[Aiden Skye]

I would love to have the super nova added. After all it did come before the nova we have in game today.

Er, oops...

[Andi Nagasia]

its 3052? so IS has 1 In timeline Omni,

the Raptor(25) OmniMech,
118.8Kph, 11.5FreeTons,

Lots of Hard Points to Play with,

Also could look like this if we are Lucky,

[Y E O N N E]

If it's not a Raptor, Locust IIC, or a Dasher, I don't want it!

Edit: Raptor II is an abomination. It lacks the class and sophistication of the real Raptor!

And when you don't want everything in them, which is common because about half of each pack is crap, they are a rip, as it's a La carte. And theses singles come loaded, if you early adopt, also. And give you a crap load more versatility, as you can buy what mechs you want, and only those, and if you don't want the cbill bonus version, you have the option.

Jumbo packs are crap.

[LordNothing]

i kind of like the single mech packs myself. i consider anything over the price of an entire game overpriced, but $20 for a basic pack is not that difficult to part with.

+1 For Night Gyr and Huntsman

Though I'm waiting for Black Python to dethrone Timberwolf.

[0bsidion]

From a utility stand point, the Huntsman would bring a lot to the table. From an aesthetics standpoint, daaaaamn that thing is fugly as all get out. It looks like it was dragged through an ugly forest and hit every ugly tree on the way, and then for good measure, was beat by an ugly stick wielding mob. And it's not even the cool bad-*** kind of ugly either.

So Alex, if you ever make this thing, feel free to depart from the original art as wildly as possible. Seriously, it can only go up from where it's at. I totally won't be mad.

I would love to see the clans get iconic "totem" mechs. Like the Kodiak for Clan Ghost Bear.the Stone Rhino for Smoke Jaguar, etc, released as single mech packs. The only problem is a lot of the iconic clan mechs are already in the game.

I would go with a Turkina over a Kingfisher.

Imagine the DOA posts when people find out the Kingfisher has a fixed standard engine.
