Arctic Cheetah cutie-pie face? Meta-tastic torso mounts? I love it!

[Jay Leon Hart]

Best variants look to be the INC-1 (4B, 4E) & INC-4 (7E)

[f2pTrash]

Damn, those hardpoint locations look crazy!

[Nelos Kniven]

Not bad... Light mech, so thats good. I'm thinking dual PPCs in the torsos?

Gulp, oops, sorry, Blackout.
Hey, why am i holding my credit card?
What‘s this mail about a preorderd mechpack?

[Gas Guzzler]

Really hitting the lights hard... that's three in the past 4 months.

I'm gonna keep waiting for assaults, sorry ya'll.

[D V Devnull]

Well, I think somebody identified this Mech, probably just under its' I.S. name. I do know it wasn't me, though.

Worse, it's NOT an UM-IIC...

Assaults are no fun to drive, too sluggish.
So...is this an Omni or a Battlemech? I see a max engine rating that differs from the installed engine rating.

Check out the Inc-1 loadout. This thing outguns a basic Phoenix Hawk by 2 MGs.

Standard battlemech

Look's like it'll be running at about 165kph at the max engine + speedtweak
Is a shame it never gets JJs, though

You answered your own question there.

Max engine rating = BattleMech

[Bad_Wolf]

Not the IS OmniMech I was hoping for.

[The Boneshaman]

I always felt this mech should have been named the succubus because the IS name for it was the Vixen. I like the name Vixen more. I like the way it stays close to the original and not that phoenix project rehash. looks like they did use the classic body with a better looking phoenix project head. would like a modify classic head but hey this is excellent work. may have to find a way to get the ultimate collector's. the hero should have been a tribute to the IS named vixen but the collectors makes it look like a fox

Interesting but it doesn't really do much for me, I'm happy with the lights I have given that I'm not good with the 'gotta go fast' style. It does have interesting hardpoints, might have to pick it up when it's available for cbills. Still though, looks alright and I like the Hero paint pattern a lot. Special looks vixenish. ;P

[Nightbird]

*pained grunt* MGs made useless and only 4 of them. Face staring with MG and IS XL = quick death. Clearly larger STs than Javelin. 7E variant not hero nor special variant. Only good build for INC1(S) is 4MPL, and no good builds for Sabre.

Make the 7E an cbill bonus variant and/or make the 1(S) 6B4E and I'll bite.

Clan lights are way behind in the count compared to Clan assaults, heavies and mediums...

Incubus, Flea and... ? Are you counting the Vulcan as a pseudo-Light?

Lucky it's a Clan 'mech then

[denAirwalkerrr]

I’m disappointed. Out of all possibilities we got battlemech cheetah without JJs and not enough MG hardpoints to be viable clan light with current balance. Not getting unless I see quirks, they better be good.

P.S. WHERE IS MY IMP REEEEE

Thanks! That makes it an easy pass then, might be faster than the Cheeta but no ECM, JJ, and few hardpoints kind of kills it.

I don't want to be too negative here. The art is great. The hardpoints are high. I do fear the high hardpoints will only encourage pilots to put on ERML or ERLL lasers with a small engine. This is not a good way to run lights because you have no DPS or killing power to speak of and also you become fodder for fast light hunters. In MWO, lights are more or less forced to use short ranged high DPS/ton weapons to affect the battle, and in that arena you need more hardpoints to reward flanking and back stabbing, otherwise your target will turn around and one-shot you. Also, for short range builds, weapon height has no difference in performance unlike for mid/long range builds. Not having ECM nor JJ will also reduce your survival time by 25% each, as both allow you to escape damage. Would you pilot a piranha with half the weapons, twice the size, and 2/3 the agility? Oh, and is too tall to leg hump.
