Good option. Certainly would be a more competitive choice vs many of the other 60-ton options we have. Close second and third probably being a hardpoint inflated Glass Spider and the Thresher. The later of which just has so many mod options between JJ and MASC.

That cockpit, though. Probably would get bumped up, but even so would still likely be fairly low. Like a Stormcrow, probably.

It'd need to have it's crotchpit moved up or it'd be junk. High mounts are useless if you cant see to use them.

Blood Asp, Hellion, and Horned Owl. Only including the Horned Owl because it looks like a Zaku.

Time for an update a removal?

Good bye, Thanatos!

Hello... *tallying* ...Crusader!

Hello... *tallying* ...Crusader!

Alrighty! Thanatos removed... they are probably going to make the rounds through other classes before doing another IS heavy so no Crusader just yet. My prediction is Piranha next, followed by either an IS medium or a Clan assault.

Ta muchly.

I just meant Crusader is top IS Heavy pick at the mo.

Piranha is hopefully next, I need my LMG and ERmL(ERuL?) fix!

[Edit] I can't see another Clan Assault for a while (even if I *do* want the Blood Asp), since 3/6 of the last Clan 'mechs were Assaults - MAD-IIC, SNV, MCII, COU, ACW, NCT.

So if we *did get the Piranha, I'd imagine a Clan Medium next - Pouncer or Black Lanner, going off the polls. Rifleman IIC is the most popular Clan Heavy in both polls, and that's not likely with current events. [/Edit]

Wasn't aware of the No Opinion. What tonnage is it?

Gas Guzzler, I had a pleasure to chat with you a bit in-game, and that reminds me of this thread...

There are several mechs missing from Mech Commander games.....


From Mech Commander Gold Expansion:

Stiletto (35ton)
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Stiletto



From Mech Commander 2:


Enfiend (50ton)
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Enfield


Shootist (70ton)
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Shootist


And... that's it. Now only Turkina and Stiletto remaining for Mech Commander 1 + Expansion series and Enfiend & Shootist remaining for Mech Commander 2. But I guess it would be a long time or maybe never since these three mechs are already quite similar to existing mechs in MWO right now.

It might be too late for those to get a fair chance. Convincing over 1000 ppl to revote isn't likely.

Still, I'd like the Nexus

[Stargazzer811]

Gas, if you are still up for adding mechs to the poll, could you add the Shootist please? The SLDF Royals mechs need some love.

[Gas Guzzler]

Alright guys, I added the Shootist, Enfield, and Stiletto to the poll, but its up to you to work the PR to get people to re-vote. Since they weren't brought up until late, chances are they aren't super popular, but alas... they are there now.

[The Lighthouse]

It's all good. Thank you for the addition!

[chucklesMuch]

Now that we have seen the lovely (read Giant shoot me) ST's on the Thanatos, the periscope of shoot me across the map Giraffe (Anni) and the soon to have its hitboxes tweaked Uziel.. can we please have a little more meta with our IS mechs...

Unfortunately its a well-known fact that IS mechs are known for there nostalgia and Clan mechs are known for their power, that's why people vote nostalgia for IS mechs and super awesome meta-bots for Clans.

The Fafnir might bridge the game depending on geometry (MW4 Geo would be garbage, those boobs are just too big, would be like the Thanatos in that regard).

Legacy - power, versatile, super awesome weapon mounts, can have good hitboxes - because Word of Blake knows how to build Mechs

Mmm :/

It's very unfortunate as many of the IS mechs don't seem fit for purpose. And yet 'we' keep voting for more... and then 'we' decry how bad a mech is (especially compared with xyz clan mech)... and then 'we' vote for more of the same...

Speaking of mech boobs, I'm sure I saw a particularly flat chested old thanatos pic recently. The current artwork looks mint, but the other, much uglier artwork looked far more practical.

Oh well shrugs...

Yes, Fafnir so the IS can win the FCCW against... the IS? Wait, what's going on in here?!

Love it! Shame it suffers even worse than the Uziel for "weapons are too high" syndrome.

A Fafnir without colossal knockers just isn't a Fafnir.

Wouldn't the Highlander just be a crappy Urbanmech? Sure, it technically could mount a bigger engine, but it's already hard to make a 30 ballistic mech with a XL180, would be impossible with a bigger engine and an extra 5 tons.

Depends on the artist the mounts don't need to be high above the cockpit they could also be placed slightly above cockpit height (upprr mounts on KDK - it would not be as worse as the Blood Asp
