Next mech should be a clan mech because the last released mech was a IS mech. Would love to see the Firemoth/Dasher but I guess it's too fast for the game engine in combination with the masc.

What I would love to see is that thing (Behemoth) here:



And after that bring the Crusader for IS:

I would push for the Bull Shark. It's work is mostly done, it's already in HBS Battletech. It's less work for PGI.

IS Omnimechs / Engine Discussion

XL engine needs to be survivable if we are to push fixed IS XL engine, even if it's just for the Omnis. People can survive 65 KPH on a BJ sure, I agree. But it'll be basically like Urbie effectively like a medium mech, the BJ Omni would basically be a small Heavy mech to compensate anyways.

This +2000. Especially with first and second gen OmniMechs.

Along with the proposals from the others.

Beside that:

MechCommander I and II Mechs

Because everybody who played that game knows the origins of FLE-FA


1. Stiletto: Base variant STO-4A, 3xM, 129,6 kph, 35 ton

7. Enfield: Base variant: END-6Q, 4xE, 1xB, 86,4 kph, 50 ton
8. Men Shen: Base variant: MS1-O (Omni), 1xM, 4xE (for Prime config), 97,2 kph (with MASC: 129,6 kph), 55 ton
9. Sha Yu: Base variant: SYU-2B, 4xE, 118,8 kph, 40 ton
10. Starslayer: Base variant: STY-3C, 5xE, 1xM 86,4 kph, 50 ton

B. Black Hawk-KU: Base variant: BHKU-O (Omni), 12xE (for Prime config), 86,4 kph, 60 ton


For the other changes, Netcode fixes and optimizations, weapon addition would also help...

[DEVVAROW]

The free mech thing is great... Although, I didn't like the mad cat as much as I thought I would.... I have a few on my main account, but Ichose to sell the mad cat and get another fnr 5. No offense or anything, I just had a feeling I would like the fafnir better.

Seriously though, Stone Rhino, Longbow and Wasp (and/or) Stinger would be wonderful additions.

The Unseen Classics?

Would be good to see them, yet I also think that inclusion of the list above would greatly compliment the available roster, along with the classics (especially that I've included Stiletto and Fire Falcon).

According the the FP map we're smack bang in 3052...

The map was never updated when they added the Civil War equipment and 'Mechs.

[Drake67]

something that crossed my mind is using existing mechs like say the catapult that have existing variants that have more tonnage and weapon systems could be scaled up or down to make variants of the same platform. this could be done easy with say the sunspider you could have a 30t, a 50t and a 95t variant to go with the 70t already in the game. then give the IS their own variants of the the sunspider. from these groups you could easily build a new player pack that would give them both IS and clan 4 mech packs to play faction with.

[Xantheus]

Could you make a Mech with its arms in the air? That way the weapons wont be below line of sight. I know there are a few mechs like that but most have limited set up ability.

firemoth confirmed.

What hardpoints and what weight class do you imagine your 'Mech should have?

Inner Sphere or Clan?

[PocketYoda]

It already exists op.. Elementals sit on them and eat their lunches.. I mean prepare for combat..

[VeeOt Dragon]

some more asymmetrical mechs like this would be interesting. though this looks Clanner to me, though could work for IS (i know its a an actually mech i just did an image search so not sure what one. its not one i remember from my TT days)

Hellhound
Longbow
Sunder
Mad Cat MKIII

[VeeOt Dragon]

really, doesn't look like a blacklanner to me but oh well if you say so. how about something that looks like an Urbie's big brother (a Flashman)

[VeeOt Dragon]

or how about this (the Sentinel)

Komodo's got you covered.



11 energy, ECM, 2 AMS, and JJs all in one 45-ton package.

[The6thMessenger]

Isn't that basically the Jagermech?

[Lanzman]

Here's the thing . . . Low Slung Arm Syndrome should not exist. Mechs are supposed to be able to lift their arms. That's why they have arms. So for example a Griffin should be raising its arm to fire its PPC from shoulder height, maybe using the same in-game mechanism that opens the missile bay doors on your Archer before it fires.
