Welp, something for Bishop and a few others to return to the forums to discuss...perhaps even the game too.

ECM capable on the reinforcement & hero mechs. I'll confess, I had to check to see if the mech ever had an association with ECM and yup, there it was on the 99 model.

As usual, amazing job on the modeling. It looks really sharp.

Edit - lumping in 2 decals as seperate items is kind of... I dunno. I wish an appropriate module was included for the early rewards and the 2 decals lumped together as one.

Sigh, well when I asked for a 40t humanoid I was REALLY hoping for the Clint, but this is a decent second. At least its not the Vulcan...

Okay....how are those leg-mounted lasers on the -101 going to function?

Are we going to get three targeting reticles?

If so, any chance of getting those leg hardpoints for the Hellbringer prime?

Never been an Assassin fan but.....
1.) Model looks sharp.
2.) Loadout options look exciting.
3.) Very few Battletech games have ever done the Assassin which makes it intriguing.....

My wallet may open for this one....

Pre ordered..

Now I can grumble about if that amount of 'glass' can go on the Assassin, why not a proper Battle Master :P

think the reason for the lack of modules comes from the talk of upcoming changes to module and skill system they are unveiling at mechcon (same as them taking out the modules for the black friday sales)

Clan Wave 1 Bonus Modules
Please also note that in anticipation of upcoming changes to the Module and Skill systems (stay tuned for more details from Mech_Con!) we will be removing the Clan LTD Bonus Modules from the Clan Wave 1 Packs prior to the start of this Sale. All other items included with Wave 1 Packs, such as Faction Medallions, Bonus Premium Time, and Warhorns, remain.

Called it. Knew the Assassin was coming next. Obvious choice since we only had one 40-tonner in the game already.

Not buying this one, of course. PGI needs to deliver more content before I buy more mech packs. But it looks cool.

My only problem with it, is that it's so limited.
  • ASN-21: SRM boat
  • ASN-23: Another SRM boat
  • ASN-101: Laser boat or laser+missile brawler
  • ASN-26: Another laser boat, probably. Unless it's super quirked.
  • ASN-27: Another laser+missile brawler
  • ASN-DD: I don't even know what they were thinking here. This looks like a candidate for worst hero mech. Maybe you can do an ECM+Gauss sniper, like the Cicada. Not really good, but kinda fun.
And the laser boats are going to struggle. None have more than 4 energy hardpoints and the Blackjack has 8 of them.

Will buy for C-bills next christmas.
