I've been playing off and on since the start and, admittedly, have not been able to track releases well.

I am curious about Jade Falcon assaults, though, especially the Jupiter. Think there's any chance we'll see this mech?

Depends on it popularity to other Jade Turkeys assaults, most likely to see the Turkina before the Jupiter.

But I'm glad someone other than me recoginze a good JF assault like the Jupiter.

I don’t know if we’ll ever see it, though I like the look and load out. People will complain about the low slung ballistic arms though, but with a couple of high missile and energy hard points you’d probably be right.

Be awesome 2x erppc and 4x uac5 machine just drop the lurms and fill in with ammo and dhs and you be good.

Probably not worth the development effort. From the lore - which we know PGI likes to adhere to - there's only 2 variants possible with the current tech. Make it 3 with the Dark-Age variant. That's a far stretch when you think in Mechpacks.

Well if the Jupiter has one issue, it is obviously the fact that it is produced by the parrots...

100 ton Clan Battlemech with 6 missile slots. Heh.

The Jupiter's at least more likely than the Onager (only 2 variants, both with post-Jihad tech) and the Wakazashi (predates omnimechs tech-wise, but has a single variant and is pretty light on hardpoints). The Turkina is the most likely contender for a Falcon-made Assault, should we ever get one.

Biggest thing I'd like to see from the birds would be the Fire Falcon, though.
