My main argument for "why not? " is why? why should the I.S. get another useless doorknob of a mech to toss on the pile with the Hellspawn,Uziel,Thanatos,Nightstar,Osiris...see a patern emerging? many of the recent mech releases for I.S. have been hot garbage.

We don't need another wasted mech release on another dumpster fire of a chassis.

I agree with your general point but mechs like the Nightstar are examples of a strong mech getting killed by how PGI interpreted it's looks. Not only should we push for potentially strong mechs but also those that have the least likelihood of being gimped after going through them.

may you get your hollander*; many guys want it, and why not?

Because it will end up being a hangar queen in MWO, which nobody can enjoy in game, just so many other Mech "many guys" wanted. Uziel, Hellspawn, Cougar etc.

Those bad Mechs are essentially glorified TRO-artwork in 3D, as nobody wants to actually play with them, and the Hollander would be the same. It is a wasted release. That is why we should ask for another Mech, a Mech people can actually have fun with in MWO.

I surely prefer learning about a Mech I did not know which can be fun in game over a Mech I know which can only stand in the hangar.

The problem is we have like 600+ variants in the game already, which makes it difficult for a new mech to stand out and offer new builds, possibilities, and ways to have fun

In case of IS lights it is very easy for a new Mech to stand out and offer new builds. A jump capable 20t or 25t Mech e.g. would add a lot more than a funny-looking FS9-H aka Hollander.

Yes, you can play the Hollander right now. Nobody does, because it is not worth it. Altering the looks won't change that.

Stupid decisions are stupid. The hollander would level up stupidity to a galactic level.

Nexus would be cool.
The anime ish design is pretty decent imho.

Oh I hope it's the Bane.

I need to know the joy of 10x UAC2.

Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.

I could suggest gems like the Lao Hu, Argus, Ursus, or the IS OmniMechs like the Hauptmann, Sunder, Avatar and Owens, but when it comes down to it the only Mech I would actually pay real money for is the Bane. There's nothing else like it.

Only 14B hardpoints? Why would I want that? You want the Juggernaut with 12B & 6E - so many weapons, it literally wouldn't work in MWO - game breaking! If you want more insanity, the original JG-R9T1 model has 16B & 10E - INSANITY!
