The Clans need, in particular, any 20 ton option, a second 25 ton option would not hurt (Fire Falcon?), a second 40 ton option, a second 60 ton option, a good second 55 ton option, and a second 70 ton option. We have more than enough 65 ton mechs, enough variety in the 75 ton mechs, the 30 and 35 ton points will have enough immediate options come the Cougar (though they are not ideal lights), we have enough 45 ton options, and we have ample 50 ton options.

Gib Piranha pls, as well as Phantom.

Only if they insist on keeping MASC MK1 for Clans a speed booster. :\ If all it did was change the turning, acceleration, and deceleration rates of the mech, it would be enough. I mean, it already goes, what... 170? Clan MK1 MASC can only be installed on a 20 ton mech, anyways. So.. why not?

I voted for it too and I would like to see it, however Russ is still opposed, it seems:

It goes 162 stock......

You'd essentially have to downgrade the engine on it altogether if you'd want it in game, as mastering it would warrant a 170+KPH breaking point, causing hit reg issues like the commando.... MASC at this point wouldn't matter cause it'd already be broken ;-;

I mean I'm all for it you two.... It's just that I don't want a broken mech in the game.... cause then it'd get abused and then they'd have to nerf the living hell out of it.

Totally agree! But even without them clanners, seem to do okay... Piranha, locust IIC, nova cat are on my list not sure what 55tonner?

You spelled "Vapor Eagle" wrong.

And the 171 kph point is already reached by mechs in the game. One of the Commandos, actually, IIRC.

Fair point. As long as there are hit reg issues - and I can totally imagine there are serious issues - it should be kept in reserve.
But I hope PGI works on it, because I want my fast Mechs. Fireball is a 20 ton Mech which would have a 310 engine cap.

I wanted it for masc... (also on my list) but as somebody pointed out its a bit space starved isn't it.

You can fit 7 missile hardpoints and an ECM on the Arctic Wolf, 40 ton omnimech, with a little pod shuffling.



We have some fun toys. Potentially!

That is an ugly mech! I imagine that Alex or Mark would be able to make it look better though.

I liked the MechWarrior 4 version:

That thing was hilarious in MW4, though. I managed to cram 4 LRM20 on it. Just enough firepower to knock an assault mech over with an alpha, and barely enough ammunition to finish it off. It was like a 40-ton disposable rocket launcher. Fantastic in Attrition when other people brought bigger mechs, since you could immediately die after killing virtually anything else and still come out ahead on points. XD
