Greetings Mechwarriors. Today I have a simple question. What are the odds of PGI implementing the Blood Kite? It just looks so awesome!

Probably not good... only two variants. Under the current release model, it'd probably have to support 5 standard versions. I don't know if we could expect for PGI to make up 4 of 6 of the variants for the mech.

[Livestick]

Plus it's mostly a missile mech, so most people would probably scream DOA and not buy it. And the LAP in the Blood Kite 2 doesn't exist in game. So yeah, not so likely.

Perhaps true. I just thought that this mech looks bad%#?! I think Alex could retain its intimidating appearance while improving upon the original artwork. It has the potential for a full or mostly energy variant, a ballistic variant, etc.

True. PGI would either replace it with a CAP or remove it and use the half ton for something else.

Or, since it's a Clan mech, it could simply be hardwired into the mech like most other mechs have locked equipment. It would do the same thing the normal AP does, just takes up .5 of a ton when calculating free space in the mech.

Probably about as likely as the Bane (ALL TEH DAKKAZ!!!)

Hell yeah, I want the Blood Kite. It is the ONLY Clan mech I am looking forward to piloting. (Bane too OP for my taste)

How about both the Bane & Bkite?

[Thunder Child]

Nah. Bane ain't OP. It only has 14 Ballistic Hardpoints. 20 with PGI inflation. So, that's 2 Gauss, 2 UAC10 and 16 Machine Guns for Anti-Light Defense.

Or 9 Missile Hardpoints (15 with Inflation). That's 10 LRM 5s, and 5 SSRM6s.

Or the Bane 4, with 2 Ballistic, 3 Missile, and 1 Energy (Or 3B 4M 1E, with mandatory PGI **** Variant).

And then there would be the Obligatory PGI Hero variant, with 14E, 8B, and 6M.

How?... how do the legs even move/work? Are those Air conditioner units behind its toes? Was this designed by a 14 year old? It looks like a doodle i made in high school. 54 kph? I think by the looks of it should move by via plate tectonics or by scraping its massive limbs and creating a second grand canyon.

Yea.., this needs to be redone 100% lol what the hell is this. Its like trying to be something but just went way over board.

[Damien Tokala]

in reality, it looks terrifying, but all i need to do is cook that missile box with flamers, and it'll take care of itself.
