Judging from artwork, I can't tell anything, but I want twin high mounted barrels on top (both sides, or at least one side) on at least one of the variants. Will this be a feature or will we get the Ebon Jaguar treatment with hardpoints below the cockpit? Looking at the art, it seems the barrel is only a feature on the left torso and we get low mounted lasers on the right side.

Is the artwork mirrored? It says 2E left, 1E right, but it's the opposite on the picture.

Which sides do get the top barrels and how many?

It seems to me (worst case, most probable) we get only 1E barrel and up to 3B like on IS MAD? If that's so, it's a little disappointing. Having just one ERPPC on top barrel instead of two on the other side where hardpoints are availble, makes completely no sense at all.

Why doesn't PGI tell us this when we preorder this expensive piece of junk?

You really want that top tier reward for some unknown reason. I hope they lock the pod bonus like the Viper so your covetted Summoner variants end up being junk.

You say you hate the Tempest, you hate the Marauder IIC but you want top tier rewards for some unknown reason. What boggle captivates you? You can buy those Kodiak and Atlas busts in October you know.

Also why do you need c-bill boosters if you are sitting on 100m c-bills?

afaik that is a battlemech, no omni so no pods but variants.

@627: I know that. He wants the top tier rewards which I submit are a poor value. These purchases are means to an end to get those goods. I know which products are battlemechs and which rewards are omnis. .

You have no other things to do than stalk forum posters? It's my own damn business if I want to spend money on imaginary robots and silly cockpit items. I just wanted to ask about the damn PPC barrels.

The ask in a way that is at least as pleasant as would be required in a McDonalds. All I hear is Venom, insecurities, anger and possible good point buried inside. Sometimes it is easier to fight fire with fire especially if it looks like somebody is "jus itchin fer a fight".

It appears that the chances for a top level mech pack with 1 great variant is about 1 in 3-4, and this counts the add ons too. It is not in the game's best interest to have too many mechs with over the head side by side weapon mounts. We got them, but they are not the norm and are usually the top of the food chain and still useable after being nerfed.
