Oh look another pointless Mech with hip level arm weapon mounts. Will there ever be any interesting new Mechs out with shoulder mounts or something new?

What are you expecting to do with a primarily missile mech? poptart with PPCs? load up a gauss in an arm? thing is only 30 tons.

Meta ******** want all hardpoints in the torso, because screw lore or canon, only thing that matters is having a dozen energy hardpoints in the torso.

Shoulder mounts and ECM!

Ummm... Wasn't the Roughneck just released a month ago? And how many shoulder mounts did it have?

Something new? Skill Tree? New Tech coming out soon?

how about adding the ability to change your camo/colors after map selection while waiting? So we can have propper camo colors for the chosen environments. It would increase your sales on colors and patterns for sure.

Looks like a good food, for a MAD CAT MKII

Well, as far as you don't have one on your six..

[Yumoshiri]

really looking forward to the light
got the standard pack , reinforcement package i only really wanted the ecm one - even though it's painfully identical weaponwise to the standard one second one is very much like a firestarter.

this mech would have been super powerful with low weight (clan) srms

And as long as the Mad-Cat II doesn't have rear hit boxes as messed up as the Marauder IIC

That would be the Ice Ferret-C with the ICF-B RT Omnipod you are thinking of. The Hero drops in August with an ECM CT and Missile hard-point RT Omnipod and for whatever reason a C-bill version will follow along after.
The Arctic Cheater Shard hero will nasty with 3 missile points too

I am worried than Engine Decoupling will prevent the Javelin from being as good as I thought it would be when I purchased it.

I was looking forward to it but without PGI deciding it gets good baseline maneuverability I fear it will be Dead on Arrival.
Thinking of cancelling my order I will wait untill the countdown and bail if they don't mention anything about the base quirks.
some one described it as a Mini Trebuchet and if it is clumsy as the Treb will be I will skip it.

Are we ditching the countdown format?

Nope just starting the hype train rolling my friend.
Official Countdown will start next week.

So when are we leaving the station? Because if feeling less hype train and more apathy Greyhound bus... I'm going to demand a raccoon mask decal AND an UM-R80 for compensation of my emotional suffering!

So, it's Wednesday. Looks like the train is running a bit behind schedule.

Also, when are we going to see patch notes? Thursday?

I'm tempted to buy this thing. But I'm waiting to see the size comparison to the Spider and the quirks. Quirks will be underwhelming I'm sure.

What are those horrible weapons?

Is this supposed to be 2 streak-srms 2?

No dynamic weapon geometry?

[Ertur]

It's 2 streak 8's!!!

It has dynamic geometry. Those are a pair of LRM10's. I think the weapon list is listing default load-outs instead of what is currently on it.
