I was wondering if there is a list of mechs we will be able to play in the future?
Is there a poll for recommending new mechs or does piranha decid all by itself?
I am a big fan of the URSUS and was hoping to pilot one ingame, any chance of knowing or voting or just waiting and hoping?

Popular opinion does matter to a degree, but most of the time PGI just decide by themselves.

Well, i'm sure we'll get the quadrupeds any minute now.
...Aaaaaany minute now.

Pretty much this but it is true that every mech we have coming out was asked for by the community.

Yes. The list can be found here.

I'm just hoping that with the implementation of Light and Heavy Machineguns, we see the Piranha added for the Clans. If nothing else, we need a 20 tonner....especially if they have no intention of increasing our drop deck weight limit.

Firemoth is always being teased by Russ. But there's some technical difficulties that prevent to be added into the game.

My next wishes are actually pretty decent MW4 additions. The MW 4 Hellhound version of the Conjurer (should be separate so the original Conjurer fans wont be upset) and the MW 4 Mad Dog/ Vulture Mk II with chin turrets. Either make it a clanwave 2 hero mech or a new config line of mechs for upcoming mech paks.

I expect them to complete the MW2 mech list. That only means 3 more mechs to go (Warhammer IIC, Rifleman IIC and the Firemoth) and at least all three of those mechs will be decent additions besides the nostalgia ties. They will probably complete the vanilla list for Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance since the Civil War pack exclusively featured all MW4 mechs. God forbid they start adding IS omni's (but I suspect that they will because nostalgia whales), and we might see a few mechs not featured in any previous mechwarrior titles.

I just hope they don't shove MW4 exclusive mechs down our throats on a monthly basis starting after April. That would be a sure way for my wallet to collect dust in that case. Think they should finish up the IIC's (Perhaps something like a Warhammer IIC/Rifleman IIC package along with the Longbow/Crusader), dedicate a month to lights only (Firemoth/Solitaire and maybe a Stinger/Wasp/Osiris triple pack), then focus on the fan favorites while giving a few un featured mechs a chance with the game.

We really need to take a look at how bad or how OP the Pirahna may be - something tells the the majority of its weapons may need to remain in fixed slots, because I think there may be some severe abuse builds hiding in those 15 weapon slots.

Since the community has asked for practically every mech in existence, the point is moot.
