Can we have a custom Crusader-Hero called "Unicorn" with a rainbow-colored paint-scheme and a sound-item that neighs on kill please?

That'd be worth an extra cost for sure.

What...

I was thinking of ears (the jump jet things on the back of the Crusader). Technically, the Timber Wolf and Blood Asp can remove theirs, but they're still there on most builds.

14E can work, if this variant is selected and the arms aren't too wide and low https://mwo.nav-alph...c5ee8425_CUSTOM

Might want to double check some of the tech used on that custom chassis. I see two Clan DHS on that setup, and running it with full IS DHS, you'd have 80/78 slots

I'm hoping for the 6D personally...

That can be built on the 3R provided the engine cap is made high enough. LRM and Medium Laser in each arm, SRM in each leg torso.

The -3R's Max engine rating is 315, if they go by the standard multiplier for heavies - so, no. The -6D has a 325 engine.

I am aware many players would not use that rating, much less even bigger engines. But I would. I like fast Mechs.

So then it becomes a matter of how closely they follow historical trends. They can allow for a vast majority of the various different Crusaders by simply creating the 3R with looser-than-normal restrictions. They have done that in the past. The Marauder IIC-D, while as mobile as a DWF, stock, can be brought equal with the mobility of the other stock Marauder IICs, even though most other 'mechs that start at 48 kph don't get to be pushed much past the mid-50's kph.

After briefly looking through MechDB, other examples include:
Stalker 7D
Zeus Skokomish
Thunderbolt 5SS
Grasshopper 5J
Black Knight 7L
Assassin 101
All of the Vindicators (they don't match the pattern of the other 45 tonners)
Et Cetera (I gave up looking ).

Hoping this will quite the naggers a bit. Been getting tired of the "MWO is dead" whiny crowd.

Yes that. If nothing else that phrase right there.

Whoever said that their wallet was closed, hey I was right there beside them, same-same. I will purchase the Crusader. I have loved this mech since day one. Have always been kinda sad this mech had hot made it into the game until now.

Who knows maybe this is the start of things to come?

@PGI Matt and Daeron, you have my most sincere apology form the bottom of my heart. Gentlemen I am sorry. Yes you guys got me going full rant. The Crusader at the bottom of the Roadmap. Well played Gentlemen, very well played.

.../golfclap.

You got me good.

[Tastian]

This is great news!

[ghostrider]

We got the crusader but we really wanted the Longbow!

[TheSteelRhino]

YESSSSS.

THANK YOU. For YEARS I've been wanting this! Iconic mech. And it looks super sexy!

[Enamillion89]

Awh man. I don’t even KNOW what a Crusader is..

I thought it was going to be a Centurion Omnimech!

[Khalcruth]

Gosh I hope that's not the final head. It looks awful with those cheeks or whatever the hell they are. Like a chipmunk.

[RickySpanish]

Well I suppose I could buy this, just this once.

[BarHaid]

Mech-dad, reporting for duty!

looking forward to playing poorly in this (though I *am* pretty good with the lurms...)

Now, if the remaining community can get PGI to add 'mechs, potential-sales-be-darned, then we may eventually see the Stinger, Wasp, Valkyrie, and Clint. I don't personally own TRO 3025, but those are the only other ones I've heard people talking about, so they're the only ones I could ever see happening.

Also the Whitworth, and Longbow. Maybe the Thug too. It wasn't that common outside ComStar until they gifted a bunch to the DCMS, but the Great Houses still had more than a few of them still kicking around.

And the funny thing is, apart from the Longbow that was in MW4 Mercs, none of these mechs have been in a MechWarrior game yet. It would be great to finally see and pilot them on the battlefield.

I'd also love to see the more obscure ComStar designs as well. They had a rather unique assortment of Star League mechs that were basically extinct to the rest of the IS (outside of what they gave away in Operation Rosebud). That could be a great theme for a few mechpacks.

This is a sweet mech. Cant wait to see it on the battlegrounds. Good Work guys.

[Javin]

Depends on the hard points and variations. If they add in the 14 laser hard point 6T, the 7L with ECM, or even add in a variety of hard point changes I would be happy. Most of the Crusaders were very similar and we have ALOT of missile mechs atm.
