Because i havent seen this thread yet.

Also. We saw what happened the last time PGI released a IS 95 tonner.
I totally see this as a repeat of the nightstar.

[LordNothing]

doa, i dont even want to look at it. its an eyesore.

[Monkey Lover]

I talked with the buddies on the TS last night about this. 95 with a max 345 engine...

Where can people even use this?

Its too slow for pug Q. You will die.
group Q its too heavy if you have a large group.
FP is dead.

So groups of 2-4 can use it in group q?

I really like the looks of the mech but with limits PGI puts on me i can't run large assaults anymore.

[LordNothing]

id you are going to give me a periphery mech at least give my a rifle.

its an assault for the sake of an assault. Doesnt even come upgraded in the collectors pack. You are goin to have to spend alot of time and c-bills in parts, engines and skill points to get this **** to shine. If it does shine at all.

If the left torso ballistic is also high like the right, it'll be the first IS mech with two high ballistics.

I hope they do the arms right, they should be long if it has an lower actuator and short if it doesn't. If PGI cheaps out like they did for the BK hero, then it'll be ugly and bad.

The quad AMS one interests me for wave one on caustic vs. Clan lurm farming.

Man, the majority of players dont care about cbills at all. Really old players with lots of HSP dont care about skillpoints either.

Consider me in the minority, but ive never been space rich, or part of a unit that murdered its way to riches in faction play (ie. Mc.) Or cared enough about the game in the last five years to play non-stop and amass huge quanities of skill points.

There are players like me still out there. We see a mech like this, and just write it off.

So the;
Blackjack (BJ-1, BJ-1DC)
Hunchback (HBK-4G, HBK-GI)
Uziel (UZL-2S)
Shadow Hawk (SHD-2H, SHD-5M)
Champion (CHP-1N, CHP-1NB, CHP-3B)
Rifleman (RFL-3C, RFL-3N, RLF-DB, RFL-LK)
Jagermech (JM6-A, JM6-D, JM6-FB, JM6-S)
Thanatos (TNS-5S)
Fafnir (FNR-5, FNR-5B, FNR-5E, FNR-6R, FNR-6U)
They don't count?

Do you mean above cockpit and at least 1B per torso (which include some of the above)?

And it's not like there's any reason for ballistics to sit above the cockpit, since you have to expose the cockpit to shoot anything.

[Acersecomic]

Bunch of negative Nancies. I for one cannot wait for it to come, and what do you people have against NightStar? Its arms may be wide but it certainly takes more punishment than that pathetic Direwolf.

Corsair looks absolutely wonderful, the hardpoints are also high and the engine will still get it to 59kph. What's wrong with that? It's a giant frankenmech.

Stop looking a gift horse in the teeth, whinning like babies and man up to the challenge like actual warriors.

High cockpit and high ballistics in each torso, like the KDK-3. Keep in mind I don't know where the left ballistics is.

If the free hero has it, it'll be great, but I don't plan to get the mechpack since the collectors and current hero are not interesting to me.

The Thanatos has very good ballistic-in-each-torso mounts -- it's probably the only redeeming quality it has.

'course it's 20 tons lighter than the Corsair, so the Corsair will get... y'know... back up weapons.

You must be new to the game:
The nightstar is a flaming dumpsterfire that was hyped and hyped only for PGI to let us down and then start an uproar over the arms.

Its a slow, poorly designed, and over tonned for the weapons it can carry. Its best load outs are quad ac10s or 2 mrm30s. Other lighter IS mechs can out run and out gun this ****.

We are also not negative nancie; its kind of forum tradition to declare every mech pack as DOA and then argue as to weather or not it is true.

[Chiasson Brinker]

Once I figured out how to mount dual HGR on the Mauler while still having at least a pair of medium lasers for backup, other IS assaults really lost a lot of appeal for me. I have the collector's Nightstar (I like the Van Gogh paintjob), and it works well enough for me as a slow assault. I don't consider it "dead" since I see them at least a couple times a night when I'm playing.

This thing... is obscenely UGLY. And I absolutely love it. I probably will never play it in a role other than TROLL, but I'll play it regardless.

[R Valentine]

Aren't all IS 95+ DOA? You can clutch things like the Anni with ridiculous armor quirks, but low engine caps means it's completely useless in pug queue.
