I hope the Sun Spider has a cockpit as good as the Marauder. The Thanatos has such a godawful cockpit, it's nearly impressive.

Everyone is getting this hero for free. So no paywall. Just log on and play a match Dec 27 and the hero is yours.

There is too a paywall - I have to pay for my Internet every month.

Actually you'll get a different hero than the one from the pre-order.

At least i'm pretty sure Chris said that in some other thread.

He did. They also said it in the stream.

They might've.

I was slipping in and out of consciousness during the stream.

Yeah, I mean, it's not like we couldn't get a mech that *wasn't* a heavy, or even get an IS heavy, no siree.

IS just had a heavy drop last month, and they have a Medium dropping this month. Clan has a Light next month, a medium following it, and now a Heavy now following that. Maybe see how their organizing their picks for drops 12 Mechs a year and we have 4 weight classes and 2 main factions. So each year there will always be at least 1 of each weight class for each faction. Leaving Half a rotation of picks for the following year. In the last ten months we saw Civil War, and Escalation Packs, IS CW 1 Medium 1 Assault, Clan 1 Light 1 Assault, CW:Escalation IS 1 light 1 Assault, Clan 1 Medium 1 Heavy. Then IS got 1 heavy and 1 medium in their own pack. As for the reason the IS had 2 assaults back to back was due to the prior year they had 4 heavies drop back to back.

[Cementi]

Neat mech. I am actually glad they are adding another "new" mech. Never understood why the Roughneck got some hate. Always meant to buy that pack too but these days......I just have to many mechs and to many empty mech bays to justify the purchase.

... and this is why I'm okay with the Sun Spider. There really aren't many Clan 70 tonners to choose from, so PGI brewing up their own seems fine.

[LT. HARDCASE]

I'd have bought the heck out of the Hellfire. That is the desperately needed mech, a good 60 tonner.

Every mech with multiple missile hardpoints is the best for farming T5s, though.

******* stock

[BlueStrat]

The Guillotine-IIc looks interesting at 70 tons. At least it would help flesh-out clan 70-75 ton heavies.

I know they're not heavies but I still want the Sunder and Fafnir.
