Give a good 55 tonage IS mech like the kheper or Alfar
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Kheper
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Alfar

The Kheper is about 70 years out of timeline and the Alfar has been extinct for over 300 years.

How about;
Cronus
Lightray
Lynx
Men Shen

For one, as Jay pointed out those are both pretty bad examples timeline wise for a 55 ton mech. Either you are trolling or you didn't really make an effort to look into those picks, which is about the same difference.

2. For the sake of entertaining this thought line - There are still a number of interesting IS mechs in the 55 ton bracket (not the ones above):
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Lynx
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Men_Shen
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Lineholder
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Wraith (closest in spirit)

3. This is going to be the only Clan 55 ton battlemech in the game (3 C mechs total, Stormcrow, Blanner and now Vapes. I kind of forgot about the Blanner). That's it. How many 55 ton IS mechs are there in game?

Finally, there is a place to go and profess how you want mechs in the game - this isn't it. All you achieve is seeming like you want to cause discontent. Take it elsewhere, let the one's excited for the Vapor Eagle actually enjoy the pre-release.

Go to General discussion, there are a number of threads even on the front page where there is ongoing discussion of what mechs people want to see both IS and Clan.

You might as well run a Wolverine or Griffin.

The Hero? I didn't see it could do anything better than the VGL-1, it just has masc and less hardpoints, but I can try. Gimme a minute.

[Jackal Noble]

VGL-1
Peeps, man. heck it can run 2 peeps and some extras if wanted.
Also the UAC2 build, AC2s are where it's at, with 1 UAC2 because of space limit

Is there a patch next week or just this mech?

technically, there's a patch with every mech.
but I guess we'll get game-adjustments as well, if you mean that with patch.
many things to patch..

also.. we'll surely get a patch-after-the-patch / hotfix shortly after
-for the things the patch will break, as is tradition.

I disagree. There is also the Dervish IIC.

[Jackal Noble]

As far as the hero with the single missile gets nada...

right, but apocryphal for one and it's not actually in game or soon to be.
The dervish would be more likely to come in before anyways.

You do realize "Extinct" means "Does not exist anymore" right?

fact is, the Alfar is gone. period. the last two in existence were wiped out in the first succession war, and the design was never rebuilt because it used non-standardized parts.

That's like complaining that "Germany should bring back the Sturmtiger." that Tank chassis they mounted a Naval Mortar on.

Sure, it existed. Doesn't mean it's coming back.

mean, case in point, the Atlas II is also an extinct Mech.

I'm not saying there might not be an Alfar kicking around SOMEWHERE in the IS, but it sure as hell wouldn't be a production model. would more likely be the remains of one in a Museum somewhere.

This thing looks aaaamazing!!! <3
Well done Alex and the art team!

any chance we can get the graphic diagram? .. proper term escaping me, not enough coffee. side view, front view. would make awesome wallpaper.

If we're talking additional 55 ton Clan BattleMechs...
Rabid Coyote is my tippy-top choice.
That's basically it unless we go outside timeline or add more NewTech;
Prowler (XXL Engine, Supercharger, HFF Armour, ER Pulse Lasers, Small Cockpit, Compact Gyro)
Sun Cobra (3074)
Mad Cat III (3086, Endo-Composite)
Gyrfalcon (3112)

[Edit] Added ER Pulse Lasers, Small Cockpit & Compact Gyro to Prowler's "why-we-can't-have-it list) [/Edit]
