I'm still holding fingers crossed that at least some of the variants will have "single barreled" pistols with the second energy hardpoint being side-mounted on the wrist (like the original TRO artwork and concept art).

[Morggo]

just about 20K xp to go and wrap up mastering my LCT's.. that's all mechs mastered and ready to start on these little birdies! Been clearing out the list to be ready..... Can't wait to get started!

Has there been any word officially on the hitbox assignment/handling of those shoulder pods?

[D V Devnull]

Personally, I'm surprised they didn't come up with a Variant that would be the Inner Sphere answer to the ShadowCat. As in, one with 'ECM and MASC' together but without AMS, unlike all the variants that are already there with 'AMS and ECM' or 'AMS and MASC'. Sure it wouldn't have been canon, but could have been called a '3X' for the interesting cross of speed and stealth defense. Anyway, hasn't there already been a fair few deviations? It doesn't seem to me like doing this would have been bad at all.

Cant see why not, even not I think its will still look pretty good.

Just a few more days... glad I have a 4 week vacation from work starting next week. Some of that time will be PH eliting... maybe

I have a question about the modules from the Early Adopter awards. What happens if you don't have the Skill bought with GXP? Will you still get the module? Will you get it but not be able to use it until you buy the skill? Will it give you level 1 in the skill with he module?

[TercieI]

Commence mediocrity!

Sweet looking badges though.

[Podex]

SQUEEEEE!!!!

[Aethermech]

I'm curios to see what the model actually looks like, the image above looks smoother and different from the Kuro they posted up a week or so ago

P.S. Do note that on the more forward facing artwork of the above modeled P.Hawk the left arm seems to have the vambrace mounted energy HP while the ballistic is underslung. I imagine that the double energy HP arms are all going to have the "blaster" body on them regardless of whats mounted.

You will get the module but the skill will stay at zero if you haven't leveled it.

[Ronin13m]

I agree with you looking at the picture I am almost wondering if that is dual large lasers on the right arm. If that is the case I am fine with the dual gun but I hope that a stock load out would be one gun with both mediums in the vambraces. If its not I will be sad.

It looks like a big Firestarter tbh. I'm curious to see it on the field. Haven't bought it yet and probably only will for cBills(Masc and 1 ECM variant) + a hero.

You will see it in your inventory, but it will be grayed out and unusable until you unlock the skill.

...kind of like my 360 deg targeting module I got from my Urbie pack... never leveled, never used....

[Desintegrator]

Nice badge !

So let it come to the Battlefield !
We will see how it will perform against the Kodiaks (KDK-3) out there !

[Jetfire]

I may actually have to drop the money badge, I like the Phoenix.

[Malleus011]

What the heck is going on with double large lasers in the right arm pistol on a PHX-1(S)?

Are you guys posting screen caps of non-canon builds again? Please don't do that, it's confusing to new players when the screenshots don't match the loadouts.

Why isn't the second RA beam hardpoint on the back of the forearm?

Uhm... that doesn't appear to be a double Large Laser. The Medium Laser is likely obscured by the other one in the image.

<*checks the other image on the front page*>

Yup, just as I thought. Look at http://static.mwomercs.com/img/hero/bg/8dbc6aa0653ffba2a2e348de7bb39d09.jpg in order to see that image at a different angle. This will allow you to view the Front Page image without it rotating away on you. You'll see it is NOT double Large Lasers.

Thanks, that's something at least - the non-canon Archer screencaps caused a fair bit of confusion.

Pity the ML is making the 'double barreled' rifle, it really belongs in the empty spot in the right vambrace.

[Tank]

Such a tease... Blue and White Phoenix is insignia of my little unit, this badge is now a must have for me and my friend.

By the way one most appealing badges in this game.... Or I'm just bias to mythical birds.

This thing better have good quirks. So sick of PGI dropping the ball with quirks with the past several mechs.
