They have never added a hardpoint to a mech that didn't have that weapon type there, if they did that it would be a first.

Well they could make up a variant with lasers in the torsos instead of MGs...

They could, but with the removal of the three variant requirement, the real question is are they?

All those IS Omnimechs, and the Templar is the one you want first? And the Sunder doesn't make the grade at all?

I've got to take a dig at you every now and again, less you get a big head like the one on your signature.

Besides, I'm not fan of the Sunder...

You have the Vapor Eagle but not the Black Python, those non-existent Steel Viper fans would be so upset with you (well that and you have the Crossbow but not the Battle Cobra as well).

cuz battle cobra is ballz, and Black Python makes me vomit every time I see that weird baby chick artwork for it? I'm mostly curious if CK will notice how I changed his wish list about...

I don't let looks get in the way, if you couldn't tell by my fascination with the Viper pre-Alex's amazing revamp of it.

I'm more vain than you (probably one of a host of issues that would keep me from ever being able to play this game legit competitively... beside being old, bad reflexes, crap gear, and no desire, lol )
Plus the Crossbow looks HAWT


And while admittedly tonnage limited, the Crossbow A makes me happy.... 2 M slots and 1 E in each arm... I love stinkfist mechs. 4x SRM4 and an ERPPC would be a happy bot for me! (not unlike my favorite Orion... except it has an AC10, and this has an immortal clan XL)

Also even "P" modified versions of the C,D,H look fun, and the E? C'mon..... 16 Ballistics Hardpoints? Dat's a LOT of MG trolling! Or one could use the E pod on one arm, an A pod on another... and get 8B, 2M, 1E. Sounds pretty groovy to me!
(8x MG, 2xaSRM6, is 9 tons... so add an ERML or SPL with the SRMs and 2 tons SRM ammo, 4 tons MG ammo!)

Meta? No. But you gotta admit, an 8MG, 2aSRM6 TrollBow would be FUN!

Hey, I set a realistic date of September. I feel that's pretty reasonable. And I did mine up as 1 to 1 clan and IS every other month
