Yet again I feel the need to mention my idea of just making the MW4 Hellhound into its own completely unique chassis under a new name (i.e. Warhound or whatever) so that we could potentially have both the canonical 'Hound and the MW4 'Hound.

Agreed that would be the best solution and could do a double pack like the charger and hatamoto chi. Just need to make decent variants for the mw4 and try to avoid the Sunspider problem with all the bland variants

Was pushing the same in my Massive mech list which I have been maintaining.

What's wrong with the Sunspider?

No real variety between the omnipods it's either missiles, ballastics or the mixture of the two leaving very few options. And the heros only got the real interesting pods.

Weird, you can do 5 missile ECM, 4 Ballistic ECM, 3 Ballistic 2 energy ECM, 5 ballistic, 4 ballistic 4 energy, 5 energy, 2 energy 6 missile, 4 energy 2 missile, and so on. It's actually pretty versatile. Can't help it that many choose to run it primarily with 2 uac10s and a peep.

I have to shell out extra money just to get the extra 4 energy hp's. Just the standard pod set alone doesn't do much and adding ecm really doesn't bring variety to the mech.

Be honest, what you really mean is it can't run laser vomit and the Manual is "interesting" is because it's got four high mounted energy slots so it can poke and vomit better than most other vomitters.

I am honest. Do you think I enjoy playing laser vomit. The only reason I tolerate it because it's the only useful combo besides guass vomit this mid range meta tolerate.

If you know my perfer weapon you wouldn't make far off presumptions about my playstyle, or weapon of choice.
