Only available for MC.
Buy it now, they'll do the artwork "soon".
No hardpoints, no engine, no armor, no paint, no quirks.*
*You will be able to buy hardpoints, engine bay, armor, paint and quirks at some future date and time. But only for additional MC, that can only be purchased at full price. Discount or On Sale MC cannot be applied.
The Hero mech will be called the NunYa. As in, "when is it coming out?"
"NunYa business".

Game is on life support, it should last until mw5 after..... They can try to make mwo2 but that would takes years. Can they keep running run mwo without any income until mwo2?
Doesn't look good to me.

I'm having fun playing the 'Enjoy it while it lasts' at the moment.

Which all sounds like some BS made up on the fly to placate the masses.
Guarantee there will never be a new mech for MWO.

It could very well be tbh. By all means I'm not defending their business model. It'll be a shame if they end it on the Dervish since mechs like the Firemoth would have been meaningful additions to the game.

There is a very thin line between slowing down Mech production and shutting it down. PGI usually needs four months from the annoucement of a Mech to its release. A Mech annouced in August would be released in November, a Mech annouced in October would not even make it this year.
And what happens in 2020?
Of course PGI could speed up the production process and shorten the time between annoucement and release, but I don't know if they are capable and willing to do so. Perhaps after finishing MW:5. Perhaps...
Anyway, I'd feel a lot better if they said there will be two/three more Mechs this year eventually. Something needs to be annouced soon.

It is certainly not viable if they keep choosing Mechs nobody wants or needs. Roughneck and Sunspider both sold poorly, why did they think a third PGI original would do any better? Releasing entirely unremarkable units like the Dervish simply because they can be used for MW:5 is a recipe for commercial failure.
The only way to make meaningul money with a new Mech is to chose a Mech people love (Crusader, Wasp etc.), or to chose a Mech that is really good in MWO. Or something really new (IS Omnis).

I mean go back 20 mech releases, to the Thanatos (exclude Solaris pack):
Dervish
Rifle IIC
Marauder II
Corsair
WHAM IIC
Hatamoto/Charger
Vapor Eagle
Champion
Incubus
Vulcan
Hellfire
Flea
Blood Asp
Fafnir
Sun Spider
Black Lanner
Piranha
Hellspawn
Thanatos
I can easily make the argument that there are at best five intelligent decisions in here, as far as mechs PGI should have been able to forecast that the community would want to purchase en masse, and on the flip side mechs with would be largely passed over due to obvious gameplay concerns.
Anyone who puts out a niche product should have a damn good understanding of how well it will sell to its given audience. But as with everything that involves PGI decision making, they seem clueless as to how to run a successful business.
They can't turn the blame on the community for not buying trash mechs. I say them as a person who bought many of them.
