Timelines aside. I need that ECM.

I just remembered the FS9-C, which carries 4E + 6M hardpoints stock. I'll add that one to my list from earlier. Also the ECM-carrying FS9-S1 has been added.

Clans:
ADR-E: 2 lasers in each side torso
NVA-H: Guaranteed heavy laser quirks because of its 10 HML stock build, but no unique hardpoints (5E per arm)
HMN-H: ECM Huntsman with more laser boating potential in the arms (4E right arm, 3E left arm)
MDD-D: Lets you have 2 CT lasers without paying for the Revenant hero, which means this one is never gonna happen
SMN-G: 3 missile hardpoints per side torso, 1 laser in the CT
SMN-Q: Similar ST missiles and CT laser as the SMN-G
WHK-D: Two lasers in the right torso
WHK-H: Potential heavy laser quirks, otherwise it just has a unique but not particularly desirable 2E + 1M right arm
DWF-C: ECM whale
WHK-F: Ballistic hardpoint in the right torso

I was just looking at variant counts the other day and thinking we needed another Adder and Warhawk (namely the E and F, respectively) since they are at the bottom of the pile. The Warhawk F also provides a unique 1E/1M right arm, so the maximum possible ballistic and missile hardpoint counts each go up by one. Both the D and the F would finally let the chassis have something other than missiles in the right torso as well.

I think I'd prefer the ADR-E to be the MC reward rather than the Clan tier 1. The MC reward is always a light mech, and since the previous one was an IS light (MG Javelin) it's the Clans' turn. Clan tier 1 can be one of the hexa-missile Summoners.

The MC reward has not always been a light. 2015 was a Cicada, and 2016 was a Blackjack. What the MC reward mech *has* always been is Inner Sphere, so you will get no argument from me that it should be Clan this time.

Derp, my memory failed me again. That's the second derp I made in this thread in the past few days (other way misreading the MAD-9S stats)...probably bumped my head too many times and finally the brain cell loss has reached critical mass.
