2017 Annual Rewards Program


Upcoming 'Mechs
• New standard (C-Bill) variants for Clan Wave 2 & 3 'Mechs, featuring distinct Loadouts.
• Clan IIC Hero 'Mechs

Yup! Start your predictions!

[Gas Guzzler]

All I want is an EXE-E

Oh, also looking forward to seeing what the HGN-IIC hero looks like.

[Y E O N N E]

MLX-F, G, and P

pls

I love how nothing in the image has a release date. Imagine if pgi were a movie studio they would make rko look good. Also can't wait for my catapult 2cs. As much as I love the is C1 and K2 the clan versions might replace my top two mechs on my usage stats.

There... aren't Catapult IIC's I have no idea where you are even getting this idea from. IIC heroes would be Jenner IIC, Hunchback IIC, Orion IIC, and Highlander IIC. Mixed tech ain't coming nor is the Catapult 2, a 3145 update to the chassis by the Capellans.

But, heroes for the IIC mechs will be nice, though I won't be touching them, no real interest at this time in those chassis'. Betting we will get Clan IIC heroes June and we will get a mech pack in May.

I feel like some people just assume every IS Mech has a IIC Battlemech Counterpart.

Maybe he's thinking about the Catapult II?

It is an IS mech though (~3150s)

But maybe i'm giving him too much credit. Since there are always people who think that IIC mechs should be given to both factions or just being confused whether a mech is an omni or a standard battlemech...

Yeah. Only the most iconic ones do, because the IS aren't allowed to have anything special just to them. Only forgettable also-rans that came out in later editions.

I feel like a decent amount of otherwise forgettable mechs got a IIC. Yes, especially the Ostscout. It's kind of odd how the ol' Catty Launcher didn't get one, when a mech like the Wolverine (Er, Uh, Conjurer) did.

[Shifty McSwift]

No mention of civil war tech or skilltrees?

Oh well, I guess I will keep plodding away at my C-Bill roundup, up to 27 million already and that is after purchasing some of the pilot skills I wanted to test out

The more important question to ask is: which of the historically iconic IS 'Mechs did not get a IIC? Even the damn Locust has a IIC.

It was mentioned in the roadmap.

Scorpion didn't.

But that's because it's too awesome to replicate.

Just not in this post about the roadmap >.<

But cheers, I went and checked it out as a result, looks pretty good.

Y'know, the only Quad I really like is the Revenant, but it's a Dark Age 'Mech and a drone to boot:

[El Bandito]

All I got from that was:

1. Mechs!

2. Some promised features that keep getting pushed back.

3. More mechs!

That's probably because it's an Alex's design.

I bet you'd feel the same about Scorpion/Goliath if Alex released his designs of them!

[CycKath]

Maybe people are assuming if Vatborns get new C-Bill variants that new Inner sphere C-Bill variants will also eventually result....

I did notice that. Most of Alex's designs are pretty on-point, so it is possible.

"new" maps. looks like they are going to revamp hpg, bog, canyon (all of those will be made so big as to ruin them) all 6 siege maps (with tighter choke points and longer runs to the gates), and the steiner coliseum. then when that is done they are going to make more 1v1 maps without doing a proper 1v1 lobby system.

While not surprised of most of the things that be announced other than the IIC heroes and the maps
