Sweetness! Now I can switch out Omnipods at will whenever I wish.

(shudders) M-IIC for MC? Soon it will be out for C-Bills and FP play will get even more wrecked....

Yep. All big Mercs will switch to Clan to skill up them MAD-IICs.

2 very good mechs . Too bad the Supernova is garbage (higher max engine rating please)...except maybe the Boiler.

Hmm... I wouldn't call the Supernova a garbage. Yes, it's a little too slow but still it can deal impressive amount of damage.
For my taste it plays better than Kodiak. In any SNV build I can do now around 1k of damage and I am rather casual player.

Hmm... This is good news, as I need to expand my Mech stable. However, I lack the (C-Bills) at this time to do so. I'll have to look forward to a sale price.

Almost completely true, as Clan Hero OmniPods still can't be bought, even for small (MC) amounts. This still hurts anyone wishing to own/use Hero-type items, as they would have to purchase multiple complete Hero OmniMechs just to get the meager amount of Hero OmniPods they need, which may not include Hero CT OmniPods in the needed amount.

Umm did you guys check out whats going to happen to all mechs.. The Linebacker wont be as great as it once was with the new PTS system in place.. I would hold off till after to see some reviews on the this mech before you purchase one as you wont have the agility that it once had..

Is it really that bad huh?
It's not a very over performing mech as it is, so I'd expect them (PGI) to at least make sure it's baseline agility would be bumped up a bit..

Might still get it though, just love the look!

[D V Devnull]

By the way, folks... I just discovered one other drawback on the LineBacker. It has a lot less Pod Space, in terms of tonnage, than the Ebon Jaguar. You might not be able to make your intended dream builds.

Well that's what happens when you put in a bigger engine....Linebackers are basically bigger kitfoxes. Incidently I just looked at the in-game store and it still shows the linebackers as MC price only, and its well past 10am PST on March 7th.

Ummm, doesnt the kit fox move slow for a light, therefore it has a smaller engine but can carry much more weaponry than your average light mech.

That would make the Linebacker opposite of kitfox in terms of your description.

The Linebacker is basically a heavier Stormcrow. Now they are all optimized for me. Was about time.

[Arkhangel]

Actually, pretty much what a Linebacker is is a Clan Dragon. it's a Fast Heavy, might not have the firepower of the Eb Jag, but it can outmaneuver the hell out of one and get that tasty-tasty weaker rear armor with what it can load out (which is still pretty damn respectable, given Clan Weaponry still weighs less and takes up less space than IS versions)

[KingCobra]

nice great mechs designs are keeping the game alive along with the awesome maps.

[DeeHawk]

I'm gonna hold of investing in the Linebacker, as the agility probably will get WRECKED when the skill tree goes live. (decoupling of engine stats)

Uh, Alex? The Linebacker C is not 12,998,867 C-Bills. That's a copy-paste error carried over from the Linebacker B. The correct cost is 13,341,367 C-Bills, and it's listed correctly on the live client.
