Ohhhhh how shall I mix and match the pods...

The way I looked at the viper...it was the payload weight of a myst lynx, in a faster, further jumping and better armored mech with a better number of hardpoints.

Is it wrong that I am more excited about the decals than the Viper?

DECKLES!

Is that not what I'm supposed to be looking at?

I was told a mech is supposed to come with them.

The Viper is a testbed for decals. If the system works, then PGI will roll out compatibility for other Mechs in about 90 days...


Heheh.

I am less enthused about decals than other people because of how I see myself revering the decals of others... if I see decals on my enemy, it's because I am staring down on his burning wreckage and happen to notice a spot that I failed to incinerate properly...

Actually PGI said that the Loup de Guerre was a testbed for decals, when the Loup de Guerre was announced.

I don't particularly care about decals. I'm not lookin' at that crap when I'm pumping the enemy with lasers and surms. Also I think the Viper will have a few decent loadouts. But you need the Medusa omnipods honestly. 6 ER Smalls, 2 SRM-6's (or 4's)...or 8 ER Smalls...or 6 ER Smalls, 1 NARC just to be an a-hole.

HOLY **** ARE THOSE DECALS

its only been 6 months!

They better leave the major house decals as faction play rewards.

It's as ugly as I expected it to be. Can't wait to give it a try.

[Hawk819]

Check the left shoulder. . . can't wait to add personal decals to my own 'Mech. Of course, that's a ways off, but Russ did say it was not out question. Still, I got the standard package, and I will be upgrading it as soon as possible.

[Audacious Aubergine]

I'm getting an Event Horizon vibe from that torso design (the spaceship from the movie of the same name, that is)

Confirmed on Russ's twitter

As ilKhan Freddie Mercury said in the Remembrance:

We're a star, shooting through the Isle of Skye
Like a Viper, defying the laws of gravity!

I couldn't care less about the Viper but there's something about those decals that made my inner nerd go nerdgasm.. It's so... goddamn.. perfect.

How could they release the game without such an essential feature? Literally unplayable. Now I know what always seemed off in MWO. Mechs without decals are not real Mechs!

PGI obviously has no clue what matters most in a Mech game. Nobody ever gave a crap about the camos. It was always about them decals. Life is complete now.

It's like if you would buy a GTI, S-Line, VR6 or a Type R and then remove the Type R badge. Why would you do that? Where is the pride? We need those badges on our machines so everybody knows it's a certified badass and you better not dare to compete with it.

Sigh...PGI really had to "update" Viridian Bog? By update meaning screw up. There was nothing wrong with it to begin with. People just bitched bc they actually gotta use some tactics and somewhat urban brawl.

[Dee Eight]

You remove the Type R badge, or GTI badge, or any other badge so that NON owners of the brand don't know which version you're driving without any effort being required. Purists will know the model without needing to look at a badge.

Everyone in the Tuner world knows that each decal adds 5HP. In MWO each one should be good for at least 5 DPS.

Kidding or not. Do NOT give PGI ideas like that

Ahh...my pretty pretty Vipers. So many wicked little ankle-bitey builds we shall play together...

One and only time I will ever indulge in a Collector's/Ultimate edition. My money has been put where my mouth was back in September-ish (I think...can't forum-search the thread up anymore). Pretty much the last Clan 'Mech I will ever need. 'Bout time to polish off those old Cicada moves again, except for having ALL the delicious jump jets.

EDIT:: never mind they fixed forum search. See - I back up my talk. When Piranha lets me, anyways.
