Could we add the Wraith to the list of IS mediums? It seems like the counter balance to the black lanner. Also, it looks like a cockroach.

Yes please. Hyper speed mechs are always appreciated. It's part of why I want the Scarabus.

Black Lanner - another anemic medium in the clan line up. Please god don't do this to yourselves.

Other than that there will be only 11 ton left after maxing the armor, Black Lanner's hitboxes are even worse than Mad Dog.

But then, Vapor Eagle is just..... I can't get over the looks.

Griffin IIC and Shadow Hawk IIC seem solid.

Updated my votes.
Light: Anubis, Incubus
Medium: Lynx, Vapor Eagle
Heavy: Dragon Fire, Black Python
Assault: Sagittaire, Blood Asp

The Vapor Eagle though, it looks like fun. Give it jump jet buff quirks and it'll be interesting to say the least. It very well could fly like the Viper does. All my other votes are based more around a combination of interest in the mech and possible performance in-game.

Anubis: missile hardpoints and stock Stealth Armor
Incubus: customizable speed/upgrades/firepower, unlike the Arctic Cheetah (customizable hardpoints)
Lynx: speed/firepower combination. Possible wide side torsos and XL engine presents concerns (personally). Nothing a Light engine can't fix
Dragon Fire: ECM heavy with a wide but odd weapon mix. It has a weapon for every range. I'll take it still.
Black Python: wub-boat stock build
Sagittaire: I'd like more 95 ton options. Its also a (dedicated) energy boat bigger than the BattleMaster. Possible Marauder-style hitboxes helps too
Blood Asp: 90 tons of versatility. ECM, jump jets, high mounts, space for heatsinks, decent speed, all check.

I'm really only after the mediums and lights as I think we have plenty of heavy and assault mechs in-game. I know I can vote for however much I want, but I based my votes on interest first.

Edit: I am aware of the Unseen issue, and I know the Incubus, Vapor Eagle, and Black Python are Unseens. But, they are Victor Musical Industries designs, thus not affected by the lawsuit from Harmony Gold

Where is that exactly? I looked over the at the Developer's Vlog but didn't see anything that hinted this poll over there. Are you referring to the comments that Tina and Paul made on this thread?

And getting the Blk Lanner will still not hurt the Clan line up anytime soon, so it doesn't really matter unlike the IS where they have difficulty picking mechs to hold such lineup.

And the Vapor Eagle looks nice but it doesn't look to impressive in the weapons department other than the VPE-4 (All opinion just putting it out their).

BTW, Victor Musical Industries has the copyright over the IIC unseen artwork so it is very possible to get the legal reseen variations in 2018. Depending if PGI really needs the money, which I'm going to guess that they will if MW:5 Mercenaries bombs or if they settle with HG during 2018, there is still a high demand for the remaining unseen. I would gladly fork over the bucks when they decide to release them.

Ah so a lot of crap looking mechs could arrive in 2018.

c'est la vie

It's a battlemech. Hardpoint inflation is damned near guaranteed. Even without it:

VPE-1: 4E 2M 4B
VPE-2: 1E 5B
VPE-3: 4E 3M
VPE-4: 7E 2M

I could see some fun builds with all of them. Won't be a particularly good splatmech with the stock number of hardpoints, but it can manage ballistics and lasers, well. And the missile hardpoints it does have at least can provide threat.

Well their a few builds but it's just varying degrees of laser vomit with little side(Expect for the 2)

I mean yes interesting builds can be made but I'm not seeing anything fancy.

[Requiemking]

You can remove the Hellspawn from the list. The preorder page just went up.

[Jackal Noble]

welp.

[Battlemaster56]

Ok now the one IS Medium that gonna be announced this year, let's see what medium and light they're pulling out for the clans.

[chucklesMuch]

Piranha and vapour eagle would be mint

[Vancer2]

How about you stop with the polls and open your eyes to the problems instead of giving them $$$ ideas.

No seriously take that somewhere else and do not try to derail this topic, either keep it within the thread subject or leave

Ah see no point getting this thread locked up because some fourmites causing a ruckus.

Sorry meant feature suggestion.

[SeventhSL]

Hellspawn was the top player choice for IS medium and it has now been announced. Nice!!!!

Yeah, well, that's only 'cause the Scorpion isn't on the poll (which is absolute bollocks, i say!)
