There is only one suggestion.

Gausszilla with +3 Gauss charge quirk.

Make it so Daeron.

Because 2 dhgr with ecm isn't enough of an instant-i-win mech. I want a catapult with mrm 240.

Fafnir isn't an easy 'Mech to play as, if you are downrange from it with cover, all it's got to hit you with is its lasers.

Edit: Phoenix Hawk IIC, please.

IS 40 ton mech with 16 machine guns and 6 lasers. JJ and armor quirks.

Urbanmech IIC for the fan service.

Otherwise, the HBS Battletech has mechs unreleased from MWO.

[crazytimes]

Ideally something really slow and with massive hitboxes, to distract people from shooting at any corsairs for a change.

[jss78]

My main question is, does addition of a 'mech in MWO imply it would also promptly be added in MW5?

If so, I'd consider both MWO and MW5 mech needs together. In that case I'd definitely focus lighter 3025-period IS 'mechs, because the lack of those makes MW5 spam Cicadas etc. like there's no tomorrow.

So that could mean e.g. a Stinger+Wasp+Valkyrie pack, or perhaps a Whitworth.

For MWO in isolation the priorities would clearly be very different.

I think a Crusader would have a unique economic pull among everything that we don't yet have.

A PGI original. It allows them to create something unique and interesting and also shows their commitment to the game by making their own content and not just going "well mechdads like this, add it"

Not a bad idea. The Roughneck and Sun Spider are PGI originals and they are pretty good mechs.

Good hunting,

I was actually thinking about this yesterday in terms of the Gargoyle. No idea what there might be for options lore-wise (nor do I really care anymore so a PGI original would be fine), but in all seriousness, I wouldn't mind a fast-ish, IS mech with 14-16 energy hard points. There are several with 7 and the Banshee 3M can do 8, but that's it (I think?). Heck I think the most ANY IS mech can do is what, 9? 10 energy?

Actually, I suppose this would only work if they did this as an IS omni and gave one or two variants the big number hard points and then locked in an oversized engine to force it into the corresponding Gargoyle-like niche; but I think Paul or Russ at one point said they were opposed to ever introducing IS Omnis. Oh well.

[Flanking Boy]

i just want a new IS heavy mech, so i something to spend my money on

[VonBruinwald]

Deimos:



Not quite as OP as the Kraken and a nice throw-back to another Mechwarrior developer whose original became canon.

It's an 85t Clan Omni with MASC but its hero variant, the Deimos 2 is a battlemech, which keeps things interesting.

Release the Bull Shark, much of the work is already done, it just needs to be integrated in MWO. I tried my best with the variants, to be close to lore as possible. It's basically an IS Mad-Cat MKII.

Quote

The Bull-Shark is a stolen prototype of the Clan Wolverine, turned down in favor of the Mad-Cat MK2, it is initially made with Clan-Tech but later used the more common technology of the Inner Sphere. While a formidable opponent to the Mad-Cat MKII, models are known to run quite hot.

Bull Shark A

Spoiler

The Configuraton A is the typical loadout of the Bull Shark upon mass production. It comes with 16 tons of light ferro-fibrous armor for protection. It's armaments include a pair of everything; two 10-tube Long Range Missiles linked to Artemis Fire-Control with three tons of ammunition, a pair of Particle Projector Cannons, and a pair of Ultra Autocannon 5 with four tons of ammunition. Equipped with an XL285 allows a standard 54 KPH with a total of 14 double heat-sinks keeps the 'mech cool.

QUIRKS:
> Armor (RA): +8
> Armor (RT): +16
> Armor (LA): +8
> Armor (LT): +16

Bull Shark B

Spoiler

The Configuraton B was meant to replace the aging King Crab while being able to be a formidable command-vehicle, it uses a devastating pair of Ultra Autocannon 20, a quartet of Extended Range Medium Lasers, and a pair of 15-tube Long-Range Missiles for long-range fire-support. With only a total of 11 double heat-sinks it typically runs hot.

QUIRKS:
> Armor (RA): +8
> Armor (RT): +16
> Armor (LA): +8
> Armor (LT): +16

Bull Shark C

Spoiler

The Configuration C eschews the Long Range Missiles to upgrade the Particle Cannons into the Heavy variants, and replacing the missiles are a quartet of medium pulse lasers got backup. A total of 15 double heat-sinks is enough to keep the mech cool.

QUIRKS:
> Armor (RA): +8
> Armor (RT): +16
> Armor (LA): +8
> Armor (LT): +16

Bull Shark 1

Spoiler

The Configuration 1 is a particularly popular variant through the simple use of brute-forcing fire-fights with a wall of shells. It mounts a pair of Rotary Autocannon 5s with 4 tons of ammunition, and a pair of Rotary Autocannon 2s with 3 tons of ammunition, and for backup it has a quartet of Medium Pulse Lasers. A total of 14 double heat-sinks keeps the mech cool.

QUIRKS:
> Armor (RA): +8
> Armor (RT): +16
> Armor (LA): +8
> Armor (LT): +16

Bull Shark 2

Spoiler

The Configuration 2 eschews the cannons on each arm with quartet of Large Lasers, two in each hands. Supplementing it's long-range fire-power is a pair of 15-Tube Long-Range Missiles linked to Artemis Fire-Control with three tons of ammunition, and for short-ranged defense is a pair of Streak SRM6s with two tons of ammunition. A total of fifteen double heat-sinks keeps this mech cool.

QUIRKS:
> Armor (RA): +8
> Armor (RT): +16
> Armor (LA): +8
> Armor (LT): +16

Bull Shark 3

Spoiler

The Configuration 3 is a departure from the standard chassis of the previous production as it is instead built upon an Endo-Steel Chassis. It mounts six Ultra Autocannon 2 with five tons of ammunition, able to provide long-range fire support with extreme prejudice. However it only has a pair of 6-Tubed Short-Range Missiles with two tons of amumunition. Rounding out it's protection is 18 tons of standard armor with an Anti-Missile System. With it's relatively cool armaments, it only comes with 11 single heat-sinks.

QUIRKS:
> Armor (RA): +8
> Armor (RT): +16
> Armor (LA): +8
> Armor (LT): +16

Bull Shark Castle Bravo

Spoiler

LORE:

The Castle Bravo is the first Inner Sphere prototype used by Natasha Kerenesky, featuring first iteration of future weapons that are yet to be mass-produced after a decade. It features a pair of of Heavy PPCs, an MRM40, and an Ultra Autocannon/20, a Light Engine, and a total of
12 Double Heatsinks, which aren't exactly enough for sustained fire causing the mech to easily overheat, earning the nickname "Castle Bravo" which was a prototype nuclear weapon.

QUIRKS:
> Armor (RA): +8
> Armor (RT): +16
> Armor (LA): +8
> Armor (LT): +16

Not sure about the quirks and variants. But that's the idea.

If pgi makes thier own original mechs would it allow them to sell merch for these mechs? If so they should really focus on doing this.
