This is incredibly well done, PGI.

I was most invested in the IFR change and you did something I hadn't thought of but really, really like. Bravo.

6x MG Cheetah, and 8x MG Lynx, OH GOD.

And that Gargoyle, even more lazers, ALL FEAR

With hero pods, 8mg cheetah actually... while amusing the cbill variant does nothing to counter the complaint really... just lololol... whatever I care not, just amused they missed the point again.

To be clear, I don't care if hero pods are unique or not

Screw the hardpoints, that c-bill bonus and skin on that gargoyle is hawt. I'll just tack on the cbill variant with the energy hardpoints onto the hero variant and have a laser vomit hero garg with an awesome skin.

Does this mean we'll also get additional new and interesting variants of the Invasion Wave 1 'Mechs? I'd like to see more new Nova loadouts possible too.

Thanks PGI. That earned you more than a few Wave II/III heros from me.

Nice.
I was looking into a few of these mechs and hadn't made the leap just yet.... but with the additional c-bill variants coming as well it will be nice to get a hero variant for these chassis to round out the collection.

Oh great, a gigantic "how can we make some overpowered clan mechs even more overpowered compared to the Inner Sphere". Thanks PGI. How come we have to lose quirks like crazy, but the clans get ever increasing numbers of hardpoints?

Sad about the executioner missile pods nerf instead of giving it to all, would have made the exe great again.

Everything else seems good.


Agreed. Executioner Hero should retain the original missile pods. At least 3, to compromise. 2 is too strict.

Yes, powercreeping is never good, no matter the justification. Such is the nature of omnimechs, I suppose.

1st question: When will the last Loyalty Mechs be out for C-Bills?

Then, on to the Hellbringers. The new Champion is a bastardized mech. It is mostly the Loyalty mech with two other Omnipods. I did not know that was allowed but whatever. You did not screw the Hellbringer Hero that much but...

You Neutered the Shadowcat! It brings almost nothing to the table and the other one you will have out for C-Bills is a joke.

LOL, talking about a joke, I just looked at the new event. As far as the UAV one, you want us to spend $400,000 in UAVs to make $800.000?....wow....

Now there are two people on my ignore list.

PGI, this was an awesome turn of events. I was expecting just a refresh of Hero omnipods.

The inclusion of 8 new non-cash variants will open my wallet further.
