I think the usual forum Compy Whiny Toxicity caused CK16 to lose faith and forget about us....

I was wondering if we were going to hear an update about this... Rather it be voting or if he was just deciding on his own, etc...

Edit: At the same time, I didn't want to sound pushy or anything.

Could just be busy, I'm honestly just happy to get my pic done. Perfectly happy to kick back and boost the signal, just to appreciate the cool art.

Its ok. Unless you pick a released mech, there will be much waiting.

I kinda want to wait and see what PGIs next mech is. I'll laugh if its the Turkina. Probably another pre-clan though.

Honestly, with the HG nonsense seemingly over, i'd love a Stinger/Wasp dub-pack

Or a Crusader.
Crusader would be sweet.

You mean a quad right?

That goes without saying

You are not the only one who loves quads and wants one in the game...

Of course i'm not the only one!

I assume everyone wants them, especially those who say that they don't want them (they're probably using reverse-psychology)

I figure it's 50/50 at this point. Either a mech I really would not like to see in game, or something I'm meh about.

Well we know the next will probably be IS. But truth to tell, I hope they don't pull a "Vulcan" on us. Mind you I want more of those mechs, but save the pre 3050 stuff to release here AFTER MW5.

Dervish, Osts etc.

That said, judging by the timing of the announcement of the MW5 delay and the Dismissal with Prejudice of HG's case.... part of the delay may indeed be to have time to model and include Valkyries and Crusaders and Wasps and Stingers, oh my! (and maybe a Longbow too, for good measure!)

Only in my wildest dreams could I hope to see Wasps, Stingers, Valks and Crusaders in MW5. Furthermore, getting those mechs made and into HBS' BattleTech (my current favorite game by a factor of about 9000) would be damn amazing. Every time I see a periphery light lance without a Wasp it hits me right in the immersion.

Crusader will never be in the game because it has leg weapons, whereas I don't think anything in the game currently does. Are people going to play with a mech that has hardpoints that are fixed facing forwards on the hips?

Same goes for some of the Wasp variants

Anything that has leg weapons would most likely be treated as though it had rear mounted weapons. In this case, they would be moved to the corresponding side torso (if possible).

FYI: Leg mounted weapons where describe as waste or lower torso mounted. In MW:O it would likely be torso mounted hard points that their weapon meshes would be low on the torso.

As far as i know we already have some mechs that originally had leg-mounted weapons and they simply got moved up to the side-torsos (like the Cicada-3C)

[Marauder3D]

Crusader would fit nicely into the upcoming MW5's 3025 setting, just saying. Put the SRM6 at the hip, but then place it in the ST.

[KoalaBrownie]

Oh yeah the Cicada with the PPC and MGs moves the MGs. That would work in a lot of cases unless the mech doesn't have many critical slots.

I dunno from a gameplay perspective the Crusader and Catapult are not too dissimilar. Suppose the Cat has JJs and the CRD a greater variety of weapons. I don't know if PGI looks at things like duplication of role & weight.

I agree though that it would be cool to have either the Stinger of Wasp in there. Even if it's a bit of a joke chassis, at least it'll be fun to have it in.

Ostmechs are a possibility too but don't have the same popularity.

First Post still says the 17th just so you know. Which was 5 days ago. May be a factor in why there haven't been any entries since

Crusaders would be added just because they would sell like hotcakes to grognards. Plus they can mount all 3 types of hardpoints on one chassis, something no Catapult can do, and the 3L and some later models also jump. 4x Missiles, 2x E, 2x B on a Jumping 65 tonner that could have better twisting hitboxes than a Cat? I can find a use for that.

Yeah I'm sure they'll come sooner or later, just as long as the variants they choose can afford the space to move the SRMS to the torsos.

Maybe the rest of the unseen will come out in some pack- I wouldn't mind at least one of the Ostmechs either. Just for some visual variety. Too many of the MWO re-designs blend together on the battlefield I find
