There are still plenty of mechs not yet implemented.

Any favorites that you would like to see should they introduce another?

Personally I would like to see the Crusader. Just as a lore thing.

Quad mechs would probably be more likely, and they had a hard no on that one because of engine limitations.

btw your link is broken.

But hey I am game for anything. They could have an Omega NPC on both sides for incursion or something.

I first thought of the Wasp and Stinger, just for the looks. But they would not be good and theres no point in adding mechs no one would play. Hmm...

Osprey maybe?

EDIT: Osprey is 3076 tech, so in the future from where MWO is. Hmm.

I've always voted for this mech for some reason:

Not that I like mediums, though, I usually play assults.

If There Were A New Mech What Would You Want It To Be?

1) Well, I think that IS OmniMechs are out. First, the majority of the first generation Omnis sucks. Second, I do not think that PGI would go through the not-yet-in-MWO technology implementation - not in this period of the game life cycle. So no Celestials.

2) It should not be a 'Mech that has all variants all the same. See the Crab: A half dozen variants, but all of them are like one 'Mech (with the exception of the junk Hero 'Mech).

3) So something that can offer diverse combination of weapons. A 'Mech like the Hunchback, i.e. offering ballistic, missile, laser or mixed loadouts. Of course, PGI can offer their own variants, but still ...

4) And of course no Melee weapons, so no Nightsky ..

5) Weight class. Well, that's a question: People often want the most powerful Assault 'Mechs. However, designing a ¨Mech more powerful than the Blood Asp would not be good for the game, I think. And many people shun Light 'Mechs too.

So either Medium or Heavy 'Mech.

6) And not from the Dark Age era, so no Scourge.

7) And no Quads, of course.


So what about these 'Mechs?

Starslayer - if PGI could offer a variant with ballistic hardpoints.



Lao Hu - hardpoints-starved probably.


Argus - Pros: nice high-mounted hardpoints, Cons: easily targetable sections of 'Mech

Really like the Argus is Mech 4

[Khalcruth]

I've always loved the Spector. Maybe give it some sort of an ECM quirk.

[Willard Phule]

Behemoth.

Stone Rhino is good, too.

[Valdarion Silarius]

Firemoth will still be my first number one pick to complete the initial clan invasion cast and the entire MW:2 roster.

Crusader and Longbow if we are going to continue the return of the unseens.

Toyama if we ever get a chance to dip into the Jihad/Word of Blake lore of things.

Stone Rhino is the (Behemoth)

[JediPanther]

I'd go for the rest of the Catapults:

• CPLT-C6 A field refit of the C5 pressed into service by the Capellans during the Jihad, the C6 removes the artillery and two ER medium lasers to mount paired Plasma Rifles with three tons of ammo and three additional double heat sinks keep heat down. Such was the nature of this refit that even the CASE is still mounted, despite lacking any systems to warrant its use.^[6] BV (2.0) = 1,874^[12]

• CPLT-H2 A Periphery upgrade of the Catapult based upon the K2, the H2 carries a PPC, two Medium Lasers, and eight Rocket Launcher 20s cooled by thirteen heat sinks.^[6] BV (1.0) = 1,437^[2], BV (2.0) = 1,473^[12]

[C E Dwyer]

Crusader..

[thievingmagpi]

IS quad high mount ballistic.

Like a Champion but symmetrical... Or just a symmetrical Champion.

Or PGI could design their own homegrown 'Mech, like they did with the Sun Spider and with the Corsair.
