Guess PGI is still a bit short on prize money for the tourney. Whale bait mech, decals not made yet, standing item not modeled, hell even the paint colors arent finished yet. Slow down PGI I know pockets to pick are getting fewer and fewer but at least finish some of a pack before you sell it.

Check Sarna. They did't need to inflate hardpoints on this one.

I know its canon in the tabletop system, I just don´t think its a good move to translate it into MWO 1:1, simply because you won´t roll a dice for each microlaser/MG if and what it hits.
All the damage will go to the center (or incase of MGs close to it) of the reticule. And with the current crit chances on MGs that might make Assaults too vulnerable to the Piranha. I know and am fine with Lights being the bane of Assaults, but there is a difference between being a high threat and critmelting something. (Also I fear that Assaults are already outperformed by Heavies in general right now, this is not gonna help).

If only it didn't have a Supercharger and Spikes, plus the only variant model uses an XXL engine and X-Pulse Laser tech.

Makes me thin of this!

My machine guns go up to 12!

Nigel: This is the top to, uh, you know, what we use on stage, but it’s very, very special because, if you can see, the numbers all go to eleven. Look… (pointing at the amp dials), right across the board. Eleven, eleven, eleven and then…
Marty: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten.
Nigel: Exactly.
Marty: Does that mean it’s louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel: Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten. You see, most, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten – you’re on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up – you’re on ten on your guitar, where can you go from there? Where?
Marty: I don’t know.
Nigel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty: Why don’t you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel: (pause) These go to eleven.

Actually, the title needs a revision. It should read:

PREPARE TO BE SHOALED. PIRANHA CLAN COLLECTION AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!

This is so going to make me play my 2-energy-hardpoints-only-SDR-5V even more than before.

Normally, the Piranha would be a 'no brainer' purchase for me; light mechs are my specialty. The catch is that this mech's launch will coincide with an absence from MWO, so most of the active (rather than banked) Premium Time will be wasted. The pre-order bonuses are nice, but not compelling. I might just wait until this mech is released for C-Bills.

If you actually knew anything about mech packs, then you would know that they are mock-up designs for pre-orders for release on the stated date when the mech ships out in the game.

I hate when ignorant people want to run their mouths and bash something just for the sake of it after just coming out.

If it helps, that Active Premium Time won't run down until you log in after the 'mech releases.

I guess MG's are getting nerfed once this mech's out.

Thanks, that's a good point. Reconsidering ...

So you all realize the stock 12 MG model only has 1 ton of ammunition? The hero has 2... I’m not seeing much room for more. Still, it’s that 15 micro laser bit that worries me.

Downgrade the lasers, strip the arms if you are not using them and switch to Ferro. You can also free a half ton by dropping to an XL170. With max armor minus fractions, stock engine, endo/ferro, you have seven tons with which to play, and twelve MGs/LMGs only take four. Still low to be sure, but there are ways to make it work.

[Racerxintegra2k]

Clans has 8 MG .. IS can only take 4 .. now they are going to 12 and IS still only have 4. I'm very happy the clan players get there 20 ton mech though.
