Careful, premium time is still avtive and not banked. NoGo for me.

I doubt that we will ever see banked premium time again since the active premium time in the Mech Packs is a compromise since people railed on PGI when they removed the premium time from the packs altogether.

That was my favourite Mech in MW4

Nice to see the Thanny show up. Also, as other people have said, this thing was originally built as an Omni, but notably, neither Steiner or Davion wanted another design (by that point they already had the Sunder, Templar, Avatar, Owens, etc etc)

if nothing else, the fact that it started out as an Omni in the prototype stage is one step closer to the IS getting an Omni.

My guess is that they'll reveal the first Omni either at mechcon or as the December mech release, but this is mostly wishful thinking ;p

what I'd like to see is a pack that's almost a role-reversal pack, maybe like, the Raptor and Avatar/Sunder/Templar, and then a pair of Clan BattleMechs.

Gotta love that pay to win hero. Straight up better than the default in every way.

I hope you he torsos are not as huge as they were in MW4.

thought MWO stuck to the date line this mech isn't even suppose to be out yet, Where the avatar, Strider, ect ect.. and as for Omni we should have plenty of Omni before this mech ever hit the market but oh well

Huge, un-shieldable STs with no weapons in them, DOA?

Avatar and Strider are bad though. Sunder is where its at.

Wait what? There are weapons in the STs...But yeah the CT can't shield the STs :/ Probably just means no XL..

[Doden Kriger]

Wait now Avatar and strider are bad?? you must not know your mechs to well good sir. but I agree with you on the Sunder part

I like the Avatar, but the Strider is just... no.

Locked STD 240 on a 40 tonner? Just play a Cicada instead, they basically look the same. The Cicada even gets ECM.

Nice, but I'll keep waiting for the Penetrator or Bandersnatch

My design sense is that the only reason for such volume in the STs is to put lots of weapons... Like double hunchies.

Strider (and Owens) has locked SHS. That's bad, yes.

It´s easy. No banked time. No money.

I´m sick of companies reducing things silently and after a customer shitstorm giving back a little.
