Can I get a coldbox with that hotbox?


Perpetually superior things makes other things obsolete, defeating the point of having variety.

Ultimately making a bad and broken game.

What is up with the chipmunk?

[Feral Clown]

They really dropped the ball on this one. That fattened and reduced dish which I can only assume was what they could come up with to make lore....um, people happy looks really, really bad.

PGI it is time to resolutely end all cowtailing to mechdads that take away from the actual game play, and concentrate on making a good product that will function properly.

It's not chunky enough. That's not a Sombrero!

The bigger crime, visually, is the mono-arm.

Rifleman = 2 barrels, damn it to HELL

People might think we're piloting a Glass Spider of all things :/

You really don't want Hellfire-esque split barrels. Take the nice concessions.
Further, the concept art does look cool as hell.

The Loki will still have a better hill hump than the r2c. And the ebj- will have a better brawl. Then there's the Linebacker.... it's going to have to fill a neich tha at least 2 mechs can do aswell and at a faster top speed.

It's got JJs, fool!

Summoner would be a better pick.

Three heavy-class jets won't be doing all that much for you beyond hopping over pebbles.

70 ton omnimech /= 65 ton battlemech. Way different.

I only need one for mobility.

I wish the engine cap was at least 260 (for the 64.8 kph minimum speed for heavies) on the slow variants...going only 58.5 kph in a heavy mech with no armor quirks might be iffy.

I'm not sure if this is an error in the loadout, but I did notice that the top speed was 48.6 kmph on the pre-order page. I know for a fact that it's running speed is supposed to be 54 kmph. So maybe it's just a typo?

That's the stock speed. It's not an error or typo because the 54 kph thing was the result of TT rounding up since it can't allow half-hex movement. 48.6 kph is the proper speed that it's supposed to be in its stock form.

Rifleman IIC already added to MechDB - go and tinker!

Damn those guys are fast. Smurfys is definitely starting to fall by the wayside. All they need now is to let us make custom mechs and it would be perfect.

EDIT: And the ghost heat limits for all weapons, that's basically the only other thing they lack that Smurfys has.

The original Rifleman IIC looked like a robot samurai.

This thing looks more like a utility droid from Star Wars.

I'm surprised it's engine cap wasn't buffed at all. But hey, poordubs aren't a thing anymore, so at least it's got that going for it?

The other guy was saying this was side grade and not superior to anything. So I was saying that's a good thing. As you've shared it might have a faster top speed but it is t gonna outshine everything.

But Hellbringer (Loki) being a better hill humper? That's like saying the Warhammer would be Bette at hill humping than a Jagermech. I must be missing something other than Rifleman has a hat.

^ This I want this and a locust IIC.

This is another fanboy mech that might run good loadouts but ultimately won't matter because it has terrible hitboxes.
