So, as a potential way of getting more lower cost Clan mechs into the game, PGI could finish what they started with Origins IIC and continue adding the IIC mechs. Note, I am not asking for another Wave pack, I know they take too long. So, where would a good place to start with the remaining IIC mechs? Here is a list of the usable IIc mechs (Note: when I say usable, I mean they already have their IS equivalent in game) in the order I would like to see them added in:

1)Marauder IIC - 85 tons

2) Rifleman IIC - 65 tons

3) Shadow Hawk IIC - 45 tons

4) Locust IIC- 25 tons

5)Phoenix Hawk IIC - 80 tons

6)Thunderbolt IIC - 70 tons

7)Conjuror (technically Wolverine IIC in all but name) - 50 tons

8) Urbanmech IIC - 25 tons

9) Warhammer IIC - 80 tons

10) Commando IIC - 25 tons

11) Griffin IIC - 40 tons

12) Wolfhound IIC - 35 tons

Now, you may be wondering why I chose this order for adding them in. It gives a predictable, yet interesting cycle of mechs, where you know that every fourth mech added is one of a specific weight class up until we reach the Warhammer IIC, as there are not enough IIC heavies to fill the gap, as such I'v thrown the Commando IIc in there. Some of the use who are less informed on Battletech lore may not understand why some of the weight values seem skewed. Certain chassis gained or lost weight when transitioning into their IIC variants. The most drastic of these weight changes is the Phoenix Hawk, which gained thirty five tons, making it an assault mech. On the other hand, those of us who are familiar may be wondering why the Commando IIC and the Wolfhound IIC are on the list at all. these two are affected with what I like to call Single Variant Syndrome, where the chassis only possesses a single variant. PGI has already shown us that they are willing to create more variants to suit their needs, they did it with the Orion IIC.

So, do you think the remaining usable IIC mechs should be in game to give Clanners more lower cost options? Please post your opinions in the comments section below.

I would really buy some of the IIC series in real cash if they would be available, I'm more of a Inner Sphere purist but since the game forced the player to have a bit of everything ( when playing as a Merc ) The IIC series of Mechs seem the good middle ground.

The only IIC I would be interested in is the Urbie IIC. Possibly a Griffin IIC.

I would like several of the mechs on that list!

I'd like to go clan, but there just aren't enough different mech options to really experiment with. And I like to experiment!
