I would love to get a sneak peek at what some of the new equipment will be like as far as stats. I think that it would drum up some excitement too for the upcoming patch with the new equipment. So what do you say? Give us a little taste of things to come?

I thought this was about the Sting, Wasp and Valkyrie. The new equipment is good to.

Have you tried sarna? usually a good base line for the stats.

Let me try to glance a glimpse using my magic eight ball.

*makes arcane gestures*
*shakes the magic eight ball*

Lo and behold, the future has been revealed to me!

*squints eyes to read the signs and portents*

"Reply hazy try again later"

Well, it was worth a try.

Well, it was worth a try.

You got to use the migration patterns of ducks to see the future. Everyone knows that. For accuracy factor in the equinox and tidal changes.

All those bird watchers are actually witches.

Haven't seen a mech announcement in awhile, here's hoping...also Locust IIC.

Generally yes, but unless PGI does something drastic, IS LB-2/5/20 are all going to be trash bin levels of bad....

LB-2X weighs the same as an AC 2, but takes up 3 more slots!
UAC/2 weighs 1t more than AC/2 and takes up 2 more crits

LB-5X weighs the same as AC/5 but takes up 1 more crit

LB-20X weighs the same, generates 1 less heat but takes up 1 more crit space bring it up to 11 crit slots used!
UAC/20 weighs 1t more than normal AC/20 but takes up the same space as an AC/20... that means ladies and gentlemen UAC/20 Hunchbacks with LFE's will be a thing....


Let me put that 11th crit slot into perspective, the only way to mount it in MWO would be in a ST with a standard engine due to us not having the ability to split crits between sections unlike TT. Now in TT that's the price it pays for being able to shoot both solid shot and cluster shot. In MWO because it will only be able to use cluster shot, there is no reason to take an IS LB over a standard or ultra AC.

LBX should be equal to or less than in weight and/or slots. Otherwise the ammo/ton or damage/pellet needs increased.
