He said he could not do that for the omni mechs as it could lead to total unlocked omni pods like removing JJ's,MASC, fixed heat sinks, ect. This he does not want do, no idea how he wants to fix the issues wit the mechs stuck with basic structure and armor but something needs to be done. But we don't need Atlas level structure quirks on a medium again.

Yea, I found the structure quirks on the Black Jack just disgusting, there was no need for that... If anything not an Atlas should have had quirks like that, it's the Thunderbolt, a mech in TT / lore, known to be tough as nails. I've always been of a mind that Quirks/Lore/Stock builds should all support each other, it's why I hate the general ballistic quirks on my WHM-6R, the mech only carried two MG's stock, not AC's.....

Yea or give them to a clan mech as well (Summoner?)

[CK16]

I figured that when this mech comes they really need to give it with Clan Diamond Shark camo or at least hero skin.

I found these 2 to be the patterns that stood out the most from current in game and TT colors.

I find that I prefer the Lambda Galaxy look over Zeta.

Yea I noticed it is a little easier on the eyes, plus easy 3 colors (Blue primary, White secondary, Red Trinary.

[Chuanhao]

Seeing that the top two choices for the Assault in the next omni pack might be either the Kingfisher or the Turkina, I rather the MK2 anytime, even if its a diamond shark commercial product targeted at the IS surats.

Please Keep trolling to a min, Everyone can be hopefully ( I always say the Mk.II is my Marauder/War hammer). I get it Impy really wants the Mk.II along with me but we gotta both learn to wait, Russ is not ready for time jump.

Indeed no need to troll but, finally russ took a stand on it. Not gonna say never but not right now. This has always been my stance.

Apparently IS, because they need more mechs. As I said before, staying in 3053 is a waste of time, and it totally shafts the clans, who barely get any good mechs until about 3060, but if PGI seems intent on making sure no actual competitive clan designs ever make it into the game, thats their prerogative.

[CK16]

After these next say 2 to 3 clans mechs the bottom of the barrel will be very close, a few more IS mechs they will not have an option but to jump the time line, we are close but I do see value in keeping around 3053 at this time some what, Nightgyr will be worth it, Turkina and KIngfisher will be ok not great but they wont be super DOA.

Viper will be a great fast mech IMO. We cant hold it to the Strom Crow cause they are designed for different purposes and the load outs show it. PLus 15 tons of difference is kinda huge. This is a 40 tonner we cant expect it to act like a 55 tonner.

Mk.II is still coming we just have to wait a little bit longer at this time. There are still other mechs that should come, it is because can you imagine the **** storm if they release the Mk.II before the Bushwacker? Or mechs from this era that were popular?

Ah but some folks will be unhappy no matter the reason, until the timeline jumps.

But I wonder how those people wanting the Bushwackers, Uziels, mkIIs, etc would feel if they did a Dark Age jump and skipped their favorite Civil War era mechs in a rush to get to someone else favorite Dark Age designs?

THAT is why I am against rapid shift. With Patience EVERYONE eventually get's their toys, Without it, someone always gets the shaft.

If they do bump it, I won't raise a ruckus over it, but there is a very specific reason I agree with Russ about the timeline, and that is it. In the long run, it serves EVERYBODY. I get it can suck waiting (and waiting to finally get something then have it NOT work out as you had hoped and dreamed? Even worse), but it does service the wants of the majority, looking at the long game.

I don't see there being really enough stuff to last much past this year in current timeline (there are more than enough chassis, but realistically, there are plenty that honestly nobody is demanding or hoping to see, too), and after CW3 is done, then perhaps they'll realistically have the resources to move around for a massive tech jump (without which timeline jumping would be pointless) since it will be as large an undertaking, overall as the Clan Invasion, if you actualyl catalogue ALL the toys, even from just 3050-3063, let alone up til the Jihad.

Thank you for understanding CK, and that's what I've been saying for a while. Besides, it's not like you are going to have to wait 20-ish years to get the Mk II like unseen fans had to.

I came to this thread specifically to post something like this.

I've nothing against the guy, but he's running this one man crusade so hard, the troll part of my soul just wants to see him thwarted

Personally and entirely aubjectively while I get why people would want this, I find it enormously boring. It's just a bigger, slower timberwolf. By the numbers its decent enough, but to me... It's just another (somewhat larger) timberwolf. *yawn* I'd far sooner see a blood asp.

I'd not be surprised to see the mk2 in game, but I doubt I'd buy it up front. So boring.

Couldn´t have said it better.

And TBH reading 2 -3 threads a week about it each reposting the exact same specs and fluff is actually starting to turn me from "Meh, who gives a ****? It will make it in eventually" to "**** off about it already"....

[CK16]

Yea just still sucks waiting lol. I can be happy with the Viper it's atleast Ghost Bear related and we only have 1 left on the Clans orginal Roster. After that a few 3053 designs and then we got a large gap for clans and I will be damned if they make us wait a full year of IS mechs. Cause even there only a few note worthy chassis remain. I mean do we really need the knock off Timberwolf or Nova lol?

nobody wanted the viper and now we have it. Thats why staying in 3053 is stupid.

CK, you got the Kodiak and the Viper in quick succession. You should be turning cartwheels! Imagine if the Grizzly comes strolling in in the next couple months!

It got the second highest number of votes for a Clan Medium Mech here : http://mwomercs.com/...clan-omnimechs/



Somebody must have wanted it.

And way to ignore the amount of work required to timeline jump. Your refusal to accept or even admit to that is where you and I have our disconnect.

And actually, I can honestly say I've seen at least as many people in the forums who wanted the Viper as the mkII. Just nobody pushing one thread on them to the point of driving off possible supporters.

Your 3060s are coming. Just not before the 3050s are done (to Russ's satisfaction). Getting salty with me and everyone else about it, doesn't change it, and if anything will just make your experience while you wait even less pleasant.
