Stupid fat, plodding Clan Assault with Hoverjets is out of the way, leaving me jsut 29 days to wait to get my beautiful, sleek, fast, jumpy, missile toting goodness of IS Medium Mech Love.... teh ASN-21 Assassin.

Which will probably be the ONLY thing that will drag me away from HBS's Battletech 2017 Beta for the forseeable future.

Hey Clanners.... have fun with Porky Pig this month. I hear he comes with a Pogostick.

I will enjoy slapping flamers on some more mechs while people are in the process of mastering their energy boats.

Also: Yay! A patch w/o IS nerfs! :^(

There are no major gameplay changes.

Good patch.

It's a super firestarter with varied options. And it looks cool. It'll play like a cicada, but on humanoid hitboxes, so it will likely roll damage more naturally but be easier to leg compared to the cicada.

it'll play like a Cicada that can jump like a Spider on meth, while packing the quad SRM4s and paired lasers.... at 130kph.

Sounds like i should get the basic and hero. (i'd slap a LBX 10 on that hero in a heart beat)

[Requiemking]

Meh, overgrown FS9-P is rather boring. I'd much rather have something like the Hoplite or the Whitworth.

[Davegt27]

if its not 55 tons I wont go near it

Yeah....though that 12 year old adolescent edgelord Hero Name... sadly it is canon from the original TRO... but oy vey. I do wish I had the money for the Special pack on this one though.... ASN has been a favorite of mine since MW2 Mercs, so I would love to get 30% mas cbills on the 21, which I reckon will be my favorite by harpdoints, probably.

Yes....because my Firestarters all have missiles.....

Oh wait.....

BTW... Whitworthless and Hoplites are crap. Just saying.

I'm okay with an edgelord named mech, i mean we're getting a "hi there" hero.

I call my SiB the The Law. It's pretty entertaining when I can take down a Direwhale or something else big and tubby then in all chat I say the law won.

Or the Ultra Violent. Octo uac2s. I hear it ain't me in the distance. Occasionally I fit a direstar build. I should build theb33fs gigamegadrillbreaker.

Then all my Locusts have names. Like Zippo. Flashlight. Laser pointer. Stuff like that. My loyalty Atlas I call SPLAT.

Still my founders one needs a second lbx..

My Crabs are all crab themed, I'm feeling it.

[Skipmagnet]

I name all mine after strippers/ex-gfs. Angel, Tera, Desiree, Typhanni, Greta, etc.

My Legend Killer is the Roflman.

Sorry if I have shaken your fillings out with the quad AC2 dakka.

Er, whatnow? Hoplites and Whitworths had a far better combat record than the Assassin could ever dream of. The only failing of them is that the Hoplite went extinct in the IS for a while and the Whitworth didn't cater to the combat style many mechwarriors favour. Its the same reason most LRM boats fail in MWO.
