Production year: 3060

Only 2 variants counting the prime, and the non-prime has Jihad era tech. So I don't see it coming any time soon.

Well...
Its 60 tons, has nothing but missiles, has no usable variants or heroes, is ahead in the timeline, has an awkward appearance and looks like it'll need a re-imagining in order to make it into the game much like the nova.

Also decidedly less popular than other missile heavy designs (Archer, Catapult, Longbow, etc)

I love the Yeoman from the stance of "lol missiles", but by the point PGI would be desparate enough to release it and make up 5 variants, MW:O will have already shut down.

It is forbidden to diss Dervishes, Dervi, or Dervs (and related designs);

including complaints regarding such,

as this may inadvertently prevent those mechs in question from being included.

If you wish to denounce a Dervish for being fly, too cool, or OP in the game,

please use the in-forum personal message system's mail function

or contact derv@dervish.derv with any evidence and/or details you have available.

Please review the Sarna Wiki for a complete outline of our Savior Mech.

specs are mediocre. Don't care. Specs realyl barely matter. We are playing gunbag warrior online. 3x Energy hardpoints, 4x Missiles, 86 kph base speed? Gives it the ability to be a decent hunter/killer. 4x SRM4 and 3x MPL, big engine, GO.

6C would translate comfortably to 2x Ballistic RA, 2x Energy RT, 3x Energy LA. 9A would probably be 2 missiles, 5 energy. Etc.

Do you even Meta, bruh?


I know the real Meta sir, and that aint Meta.

+1 for the Longbow, one of my favourites, although I prefer the original 'Destroid Phalanx' look.

I could get behind the Longbow. I'll admit this is mostly due to macabre interest in seeing the QQ when have full lances of assault-class LRM boats during the first week.

But it'll also be sufficiently different from the others, and I'll never say no to classic old IS 'mech (of which too many are still missing).

The Dervish would also be an excellent candidate. I recommend this to also be added to the roster, seeing as another 55 tonner... wait... oh the Bushwacker you say... oh dear. I can see why you are upset dervishx5
