No running? Well that's okay because we can just walk faster than it can run.

Seriously... Quite a few heavy mechs will be running you down and even some assaults.

PGI was so nice to put the ecm in the head of the extra "add on" mechs.

Basically want ecm? Pay 15 bucks for it.

I plan on getting myself a few of these wonderful Mechs, even though I play mainly for the Inner Sphere. Consider them, captured assets.

Well since i'm in the FRR i consider myself part of the rasalhague dominion which was a thing in 3060. So for me Clan mechs are part of my stable no captured required.

Not worth it because you can only put it on one mech. May as well wait for the omnipods to be available for C-bills.

I admire your grit, though I question your sanity. Sounds like the right mix to be a mechwarrior to me!

if you need to run away on a weaponplattform, you have ****** positioning.

Kind of ironic that I've been talking about this mech for several years now. I don't know if anyone else on the forum has consistently been going on and on about the Cougar like I have. And when it's finally here, it's one of the tiny percentage of MWO mechs that actually look worse (in my eyes) than the original.

It's all good though. I've bought too many mechs based on looks alone already. And playing a slow light mech in MWO is a special kind of masochism.

I'll buy it for C-bills some day, if I'm still around.

engine decouple, slow lights with lots of firepower might be the new thing.

Such a pretty design, sadly hunted to extinction by roving packs of rabid Urbanmechs

It just needs a speed boost to atleast 91KPH with speed tweak. Then it'll be fine.

They've been doing that for a while now. 3 boring variants, with the Reinforcements and Heroes getting ECM, Jump Jets, higher engine caps, MASC, a valuable uber omnipod or somesuch.

It's one reason why I stopped buying Mech Packs.

Oh it's the one I'm most likely to buy.

I'd like to throw money at the Annihilator for old times sake, but it's just going to suck so bad, and I'm still pissy over the Crusader ;)

Oh I've already bought the Ultimate pack for the cougar. It's the only clan light mech I want. Now all they need to do is add the solitaire and my life will be complete.

Also like to mention I got the collector pack for the Uziel with the hero add on. I'll just buy the reinforcements when they come out for c-bills. Pretty much all the uziel variants have good hardpoints on them. Especially the hero variant.

It won't because they still need it to reposition and take angles that aren't front line related.

I mean, you'll need to be going down-hill with a good wind from the rear. Possibly a head-start. You might catch me then. Maybe. Probably not.

What i seen them do is just hang out with the assaults. Adder with the srms does this well now. When the brawl starts its rare for anyone to shoot the adder when a dire is shooting at you Posted Image
