I want to see them all, well I don't care for dark ages. Also, forget the unseen.

All the worry about clan balance is unwarranted. Since this is grounded in the TT rules this is what I predict will happen:

FASA's idea was that a clan star is equal to a IS company so 5 vs 8. We currently fight in companies. So my guess is, when the clans come in they will be limited to a star.

I'm actually surprised none of the TT vets caught on to this already.

Put them all in and let GOD sort them out...

Like this would happen...

This game like all other GAMES. It will be limited in scope at first and gradually opened bit by bit as the game PROGRESSES. It would be to everyone's advantage to be able to use the mechwarrior merc style hanger where you can mod your mech with what ever you pick up along the way or can purchase; therefore drop in a the mech frames and let us start the killing and pillaging.
HEATSINKS for ALL!

I do not understand the clan hate. Personally, I could care less either way about clan, I'd just like more weapon/mech options and clan brings that. IS pre-invasion arsenals get depressingly stale quickly.

As for the topic, urbanmech.

Uhuuuu.... I have baaaad bad news for you........

LAM really the only I don't want to see, because seriously if the Stinger I'm blasting suddenly changes to a jet and flies off, I'll be a tad bit miffed. Well at least until he accidentally goes out of bounds and times out.

I'm in the don't ever want to see a clan mech in game, unless they can only be used against other clan mechs, camp.

[MechRaccoon]

What Mech do I NOT want to see, you ask?

First, I don't want to see Fen Cheng's overpowered Arrow IV Vulture/Mad Dawg from MW4M. You all know what i'm talking about, right?

Second, the Charger, the prime variant, at least. Getting caught in an Assault mech only armed with 5 small lasers would be as embarrassing as being beat up by a 6 year old, it would also mean that you can be outgunnned by a light mech. A LIGHT MECH.

Captain Dumbface: *kzzzt* "HQ, this is Captain Dumbface, I am currently being engaged by a Mongoose, requesting support." *kzzt*

HQ Guy: "Wha-DUMBFACE! YOU'RE IN A CHARGER! AN ASSAULT MECH! YOU SHOULD'VE DESTROYED HIM MINUTES AGO!"

Dumbface: *kzzzt* "HQ, this Charger only came with 5 small lasers, and the Mongoose has 3 mediums, 1 small. He has more firepower than I do. In fact, my torso armor is in the orange. I need reinforcements." *kzzt*

HQ Guy:".........You know what, Jensen, tell Captain Awesome to mech up and get down there. Make sure he brings his Jenner."

Jensen: "Yes sir!"

2 MINUTES LASER...I MEAN LATER...

Captain Awesome and Captain Dumbface are walking to the extraction zone after destroying the Mongoose.

Awesome: "Tell me again, why did you pick an Assault with only 5 Small Laters-I mean-Lasers?"

Dumbface: "I thought I would only encounter light resistance."

Captain Awesome slaps the Charger with one of his mechs' arms and it falls down. He walks to the extraction zone by himself. THE END.

Anyway,

#3: The Imp. I can sum this up in 2 words:


URBANMECH MUCH? Also, what's with that hand-mounted LRM-15? It looks like the person who designed was either an ***** or a (eccentric) technological genius.

#4: RESEEN SHADOW HAWK.


I hate this design just because of the head design, it makes the Shadow Hawk look like it should be Cobra Commander's personal mech. Piranha, if you include the Shadow Hawk, either redesign the head or make it look like this:


I know it's actually the Shadow Hawk prototype, but it looks way better than the Reseen. MAKE THE SHADOW HAWK LOOK LIKE THIS OR THE UNSEEN VERSION!

#4 and 5: These Warhammers.

Anything from the Wizkids "Dark Age" timeline. Fortunately this game looks pretty authentic FASA, and it's set in 3049 so this shouldn't be a problem.

[ice trey]

The only thing that would really upset me is the introduction of designs that will upset the balance of the game. That's not to say that making mechs better over time is a bad thing (in fact, that's just how the canon goes), but plopping mechs that are *too* good into the game will end with everyone taking the same damned 'mech.

For example, everyone wants a Devastator, or a Highlander, because they want in the former a "best mech ever that is super powerful and always wins", and in the latter, a jump-sniper, so that they can recycle the same tactics from Mechwarrior 4 that left the game nigh unplayable online.

Clan 'mechs I'm not averse to, but I think that they should hold out on introducing them until there's a match-balancing system included. A Timberwolf is ALWAYS better than an Atlas, no questions asked. Heck, one Timbie Prime is worth nearly two Awesome Qs.

I don't want to see any autobots or decipticons.
I especially don't want to see that Optimus Prime @ssh@t rolling around here and telling us how great he is.
We get enough of that from the EVE goons, and the game is still in closed beta!

Beware of EVE players not just the Goons. Dirt Nap Squad is coming. We don't camp gates, we camp Regions.

Whats with all this hate surrounding Clan Mechs? Honestly I'll say I started with Mechwarrior seventeen years ago with Mechwarrior 2, not as long as some, but as long as most.

I established a deep love for the Clan's and started reading the books, and getting into the cardgame, dabbling in the tabletop, I am enthralled by the Battletech lore.

After having learned all the deep dark secrets and whatnot, I still love the clans more than the Inner Sphere. Where does this Clan hate spring forth from?

Because they changed the nature of the game. Not everyone likes that.(and please dont insult my intelligence with saying "one has adapt to change") However compared to that dark age crap the clans are GOLD.
