As many of you know I've been working on a community based MechWarrior® Online™ project for the last little bit. After having been part of the MWO community for a while I decided to put an old domain name I had laying around to some good use! Voila, MechSpecs.com was born!

There are a lot of sites out there that have "min/max" type features for tabletop load-outs or for previous MechWarrior® games but there are none, as of yet, that cater to the MWO community itself.

MechSpecs.com is a website that is all about Mech Specifications and Mech Speculations!

I'd like to invite everyone to head over and check it out.

Like to talk shop about mechs, weapons and what it takes to blow stuff up? This is the place to do it!

As PGI and IGP (see what they did there?) release more information about the mech combat and weapon mechanics MechSpecs.com will stay on top of it and compile (with your help) factual information in one "neato awesome" place for Mechwarriors to hang out.

Hopefully it will become a useful tool for the community and a gathering place for mech related speculation!

Cheers,
Grimm

Exactly! The entire purpose of MechSpecs.com is to glean (through discussion, bribery, torture or news articles) everything there is to know about mechs and combat/weapon combinations. I am already planning my road trip to PGI where I shall lay seige to the Dark Lord's Castle until they give us what we want!!!! MechSpecs.com isn't about "How will Factions work" or "Will there be Hula Physics™" (unless it affects weapon aerodynamics) it is about blowing stuff up and how to work, combine, train to be the best at it!

Thanks guys! Your support, and interest (and even showing up to participate) is mondo-awesome™

Here I was hesitant to show it because it didn't have prancing ponies that jump out when you load up the screen!!!

I look forward to having this become a labour of love as the game approaches release. I have sent a team to PGI/IGP. Hopefully they will penetrate the Dark Lord's Castle, execute my mission and then extricate themselves with the necessary data that we all crave and love.

OR

PGI just releases it next week and MechSpecs can post it for ya!
