Any word on when the 2015 Loyalty variants (Cicada 3F, Wolverine 7D, Nova D, Zeus 9S2, Executioner C) will be made available for MC or cbills?

They were announced almost six months ago, I wonder if PGI simply forgot about them?

[FupDup]

The Urbanmech took a long time, so they probably will too.

The only one of those that is even remotely worthwhile is the Cicada anyways. the rest are, in the words of Immortan Russ, MEDIOCRE!

Why would you want any of them but possibly the Cicada?

Well, with the Executioner and Nova, you get some more omnipods to mess around with, so that's kind of worth it? I guess? Maybe?

The Wolverine is pretty trash though.

Meh, should be loyal

So long as the loyalty paint and geometry remain exclusive, go nuts.

That loyalty wolverine is literally the worst mech I've ever had the displeasure of trying to build or pilot.
The Cicada on the other hand is really cute with it's flappy lil wings. Love Cicadas *chirrup*

I built the WVR-7D with XL275 (+1DHS), 5 JJ, Endo, UAC5 (3 tons ammo), MPL, SRM6+ART (2 tons ammo) and ran it fairly successfully when XPing mine instead of buying a 3rd variant. The jam chance reduction is helpful to keep its UAC going and the dual SRM6+ART give it a decent close in punch with the MPL for backup of either weapon.

Yeah, but compare that to other mediums like the Shawk, Enforcer, Cicada, Blackjacks, Griffins, and even other Wolverines... maybe only Trebs could best it in terms of mediocrity.

I actually have the wolverine, but I don't use pay only mechs. I could have phrased my question as "how long until I can use the free mech I got almost six months ago", but that would be easily misinterpreted.

NO! That loyalty paint adds a violet glossy hue to every color I put on my KGC-000(L), and RUINS IT! AAAAAGGHHHHH!

Urbie was not a royalty reward!
Urbie was our beloved saviour of the world.

Atlas-S and CN9-AH were royalty mechs. I don't remember how much time those took to be available for cbills

What?...you mean that god awful overlay that shits over any other color or camo?

What I mean is, the loyalty paint and Geo, should remain exclusive to the (L) version, but feel free to do a c-bill version with out the paint and geometry.

That Wolverine is terrible. If you could fit an exta UAC in the Arm or at least one more missile hardpoint it might be good.
The Cicada is good, as is the Zues.

[jss78]

I actually like my Loyalty Wolverine fine. It's seriously hardpoint limited, so I'm going with big guns in it (AC/10, 2xSRM6, ML). Doesn't set the world on fire, but it's a decent short-to-mid-range brawler. An AC/10 with +20% cooldown and +20% velocity is a nice weapon, and works well with the SRM's. You can run the exact same loadout on the 6R, but the 7D gets considerably better quirks in exchange for having fewer hardpoints.

The "Flycada" is a damn fun mech, HOWEVER I'd bear in mind that the Phoenix Hawk will fall in the same niche (light-medium energy boat with speed and superb jumping).

More than 6 month maybe 9 or 12.
Can you give me one of your loyalty atlas? I have one atlas-S but damn i like the first loyalty camo.

I'm the opposite, I hate the S(L) camo

Well i dont really know for the atlas-S(L) but centurion CN9-AH(L) camo is really nice imo.

The camo isn't really anything special, a neat nordic theme from what it looks like, but the Atlas-S(L) is pretty much the skull for me. That unique geometry skull is great.

[Vashramire]

I love my loyalty Wolverine and Zeus. Not everyone likes MASC but I do. Fast 55 tonner with JJ's that averages 500 dmg. The Zeus doesn't do too much different than the others but I'm not going to turn one down.
