The Bandersnatch looks cool, but the hitboxes are going to be terrible.

Bandersnatch Cummerbund is the bloke who's playing Sherlock, right?

Independent Defense Industries can neither confirm nor deny the existence of such a document.

I'd totally buy that crusader (with these looks anyway) in a heartbeat.

I'd totally NOT buy any celestial-mumbo-jumbo.

If you ever wonder why they sell mechpacks and don't ever develop the game - this thread is a perfect example.

Because they're bad at it?

Translation: "Do you want to buy a mech..." NO, go to hell with your mech packs.

Sadly, im very positive that this "document" is not related to any Blakist. There are no indications of a ComStar/Blake branch at the end of it. Clearly ADM-DI is neither of them.

Well we're definitely not getting battle armor. Celestials also seem like a bit of a stretch, since those would require some kind of implementation for small cockpits, C3i, and compact fusion engines. Also they'd be omnis with locked CFEs, RIP your tonnage.

Edit: though apparently it's just the archangel that has a CFE, if the archangel is left out then only SCs and C3i are unaccounted for. And triple strength myomer on some of them.

Probably a nod to the Fafnir and the Defiance Industries Heavy Gauss rifle.

The Toyama is now the only Innersphere mech that I can get hyped for and would consider pre-ordering.

I say World of Blake comes and/or Superheavies!

Any lore-warriors know which Admiral DI is?

Walking garbage that can have rough angry *** with you... Atleast in TT...

Those retractable blades are brutal... start CQB with them retracted, land a punch, then extend them for a free roll to generate a TAC....

Also the Arcangle is just a beast... you almost never get to salvage it because it has s compact engine and compact gyro, meaning you are more likely to render it to scrap before you crit it out.

Could ADM in ADM-DI possibly refer to

Active Defense Mode (ADM)
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Shield
For a battlemech sheld developed by the lyrians and introduced in SOLARIS VII.. Solaris is due to release in the coming months.. They are promising to putt addons on the mechs supposedly decoratvice but perhaps maybe something functional too?

Do you guys honestly think we're getting anything that demands new tech, let alone melee? We can't even have inverse kinetics, don't tell me you guys are getting your hopes up for melee?

I mean, sure, stuff that's essentially just a numbers tweak I could see happening - such as the Light AC5. Lower weight, reduce range, done.

But more complex stuff, like MMLs? Nope, not seeing that happening.

i would say make MMLs like ATMs,
(1m-270m=2damage/missile)(271m-360m=1.5damage/missile)(361m-900=1damage/missile)
(also SRMs in TT had tracking, its just MWO that makes SRMs Dumbfire(which in TT would do 3Damage)
