Oh nice! I may have to pick these up, get me some LRM5's + Artemis and show people how bad I can be.

[Gannycus]

Oh nice! But I need a mech bay sale to have the proper space for it in my hangar..

[A Man In A Can]

Another mech's costs perfectly predicted again, even accounting for Narc ammo errors. Woot.

Is that a personal preference order or a power level order? because I think for a general power list, I would order them like so:

Kodiak (pray the KDK-3 is not ***** with a ton of negaquirks when it goes for cbills kids...)
Huntsman
Nightgyr
Cyclops
Viper
Phoenix Hawk

Its the order that they will go on sale for cbills for, as the cbill release is the same order as initial release.

And, based on engine difference to DWF, each KDK will cost probably 19 to 20 million, mastering them cost ~60 million. Thats too much of grind.

Anyway, is this Archer worth getting? at least for SRM spam or LRM-trolling

On a scale of 0-24, 0 being the worst and 24 being the best, take the average number of archers that did over 100 damage in your last ten drops for your answer.

Then tell me how you managed to come up with -1 as an answer. 70 tons of squishy meh. Splatcat splats better, LRM are beaten by direct fire for heavies (and everything else).

Yes, It's a fine machine. My favorite build is 5xLRM5s + 4xSRM6s. Soften them up and when the LRM ammo is out, go for the kills.

[Felicitatem Parco]

I always see the mixed LRM and SRM builds. Is it too hot to maintain fire output in an all SRM outfit? Or, why do I not see more 8-9x SRM4 ?

Hmmm...all this talk about a Mech Bay...

WE ALSO NEED A MODULE SALE.....PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN.....75% OFF MODULE SALE WILL MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY

[Alan Hicks]

It would be a great and desired battlemech to own... if only I had some mech bays for 3 Archers. (I always buy 3 mechs of one so I can get the speed unlock) Sold my Kit Foxes for more space...but I do not have more empty mech bays now. Could also get those Black Knights too !

Congrats to all those who will finally get this cool mech.

[Piero Cruz]

I agree with Cranky Puppy, we should have a module sale too!

[MoeX]

Happy Lurming! Just remember to protect those Sidetorsos.

Neg. Their purchase price will be right around 16 million each, with the total for all five c-bill variants being very close to 79.5 million.

So mastering it would be around 48 million to obtain the chassis alone. However, if you count any extra engine and weapon purchases, that would likely put you around 60 million or more depending on what you have.
