You forgot Black Python

[1453 R]

To be fair, everything on that list except probably the Vapor Eagle are failbuckets extraordinaire.

Seriously. The Baddle Cobra is like a Clan Whitworthless. And the Crossbow, despite looking really cool, is a 65-ton Baddle Cobra. The Scylla is a hundred-tonner and thus invalid. Maaaaybe the Black Python would end up as something like a 75t Marauder-IIC, but only in energy boat configurations.

But the two Steel Viper frontliners, their OmniMechs, are...like, actively bad for their pilot's health. Just sitting in the same DropShip as a Baddle Cobra for more than a week can take years off your lifespan, give you premature arthritis, and induce erectile dysfunction. Even in women.

Huh? The 2 can do Night Gyr builds with the added bonus of ECM. 2 Gauss, 6 ERML, ECM, JJs? Done (though it runs Gauss asym so there is that problem mind you). I mean even with just the option for 1 Gauss in the arm like the Timber, it is more customizeable than the Timby which means an automatic plus.

The Scylla, the Black Python and the Vapor eagle. Scylla being a Bmech would be just fine.

They were participating in the invasion. Fought on Tukayyid and that stuff.

[1453 R]

I mean technically those Clans didn't participate in MWO's Invasion. They got bolted on later, after the "Invasion" was over and done with.

Was a smidge rhetorical, to show that these clans are now in the game...only they are not because none of their associated mechs are in game.
Invasion? Ya don't say?
