i loved piloting this mech in MW4: mercs and think it would be an awesome addition to MWO.

.....yes... i know its out of timeline.. ( but that's been adressed before by others)...
and... yes, i know it has a few weapons not currently present in game ( hint hint PGI.. new weapons please..)

But i think its time to get some new toys ( like heavy gauss, IS ER lasers ) since the clan war has been going for more than a year now in MWO.

and i know id pay for a collectors package/hero add on....

.....and...........

discuss.

I'm pretty sure the Fafnir is a Steiner mech. It was designed by Defiance industries after all.

Fafnirs are indeed a Steiner (TM Nothing Finer, Defiance Industries) production.

The big problem is that the Heavy Gauss rifle requires being able to mount a gun that takes up critical spaces in two different locations- part of the construction rules that PGI has failed at up to now (the same rule applies to AC-UAC-LB/20's and a few other very large weapons like Arrow IVs).

The fix to the construction system that'd allow it to exist would also make the number of potenial AC/20 users that much greater, though it'd also mean some interesting graphics work as well.

According to Sarna, the Heavy Gauss needs 11 crits. Even if it normally needs crit-splitting, I don't see why PGI couldn't make it work.

That said, I'd love to see Fafnir!

Ehhhhhh, I don't know. I really don't think IS needs any more mechs, least of all more super Dakka boats.

Fafnir production date - 3063. So NO, please NO!
Heavy gauss - same. Just NO. Devs cant balance existing weapons so they should not add more of them.

Honestly, neither. The Kodiak just doesn't interest me, and neither does the Night Gyr. I'm more interested in the Viper.
