Will we get the 100 ton IS Marauder llC in MWO? I used to love this Mech when reading about Wolfe's Dragoons.

[FupDup]

It's called Marauder II, not Marauder IIC...

[Escef]

Upper case i's, as in the Roman numeral for 2, not LL.

[Spare Parts Bin]

Yes you both are correct but I used lower case letter Ls. Autofill has more issues than Barnes&Nobles. What are your thoughts on us getting the IS Marauder ll Mech, and Clan Deimos Omnimech.

There is a Marauder II C, not to be confused with a IIC. Basically a Marauder II with clan tech.

I believe the expression is that you have to be at least 10% smarter than your equipment...

Ball busting aside, I wouldn't mind seeing the Marauder II in game, but I doubt that will happen unless there is a favorable outcome in the HarmonyGold lawsuit. Would it bring anything new to the game? Eh... Marauder/Stalker hitboxes on a jumping 100 ton mech with Atlas speed... Could be interesting.

I mean, do we need another Marauder? We basically have 3, and the jumbo IS version (Nightstar) is pretty weak.

[- World Eater -]

We have enough Marauders.

Yes but we need the right version, the Marauder ll.

Can you explain what it brings to the table?

[Zergling]

I still want this Marauder:

[FupDup]

More Marauders? I think we need more Urbies and Mad Cats.

You're going to get them when PGI says you'll get them.... which is when PGI needs a quick mechpack and would like to recycle resources in a quick manner.

The Deimos is a 3085-era design, so no time soon. The Marauder II would be rather nice though, especially considering the thing has a variant with eleven missile hardpoints. Yes. Eleven. Plus 4 energy hardpoints. And jump-capable too for maximum dunk.[color=#222222][font=&amp]

There's new IS Urbie variants for decades. But Urbie IIC yes please thankyou.

The least contribution would be nostalgia. I like 100 ton JJs. My Direwolves usually use S right and left Omnipods(JJs).

[Verilligo]

The Deimos is a good mech, but may not be available. That depends a lot on the ownership rights for the mech, given it was canonized based on the work of someone else who may, themselves, be unable to give permission.

Debatable...



Plenty of pod space, but you're gonna run out of slots fast. Also holy crap look at all that hardwired equipment. The worst part is having ammo in your CT, normally that's okay but for AMS you probably won't get to use up that ammo (unless the red team has lots of Lurms) before your CT armor is gone and thus you will die from ammo splosions pretty often. Also same speed as a Dire Whale or Anni.

Could be workable good yes but perfect NO!

I wouldn't mind seeing see, but PGI has bigger fish to fry with the HG lawsuit.

[Bombast]

I would love to see it in game, just so I can see how confusing it gets.

Maruader - 75 ton IS Mech
Maruader IIC - 85 ton Clan Mech
Marauder II - 100 ton IS Mech
Marauder II C - 100 ton Clan Mech

Would be fun.

More realistically though, never. Lawsuits and what not.
