Camo specs are a work in progress, still putting some finishing touches on them. Stay tuned for a sneak peak on those!

[J a y]

I love you

[Frost_Byte]

Since people are going to ask to see the mounts, here are some WIP shots of the new mounts!
Variants aren't build in game yet so you get some 3D WIP shots instead. Adder was a fun one to fit all the MGs on, Ice Ferret was a little mind boggling, and the Jenner was easy peasy

[Rhaelcan]

Hawk. You realize the weapon limit in mwo is 16.

I removed the post.

In any case, they could've dropped some of the Machine Guns. Gone with the following:

1 Energy, 3 Ballistic Right and Left Arm
3 Ballistic Right and Left Torso

And that would solve the problem.

[Rhaelcan]

That's already what it is, but two more machine guns..?

[Tarogato]

Since a bunch of these have hero names, I assume they will become heroes down the line and never be released for C-Bills like all other loyalty mechs have been?

Then it wouldn't be an Adder S. Full stop. That mech is impossible with MWO's current UI limitation.

I'm giving them hero names since I wanted to, but consider these like a Fire Ant. Special names but still just normal variants.

Then I hereby dub the Ice Ferret, "Jalapeño"

[The6thMessenger]

I'm not really delighted with the PIR-D, it's just basically a Firemoth -- because we don't have a real thing.

I see not much worth of the MASC on a 20-tonner, I find it overkill, speed wasn't the mech's issue. And the reduction of hardpoints mean less ER-Micros all around, and alpha to boot. Likewise the extra structure isn't really much to offset it's drawbacks.

<<< images snipped for scrolling issues >>>

Well done on orienting all of those. Any chance you have one for the Piranha PIR-D(L)'s all-energy setup as well, or is that simply drawing from the layout present on other Variants in the lineup?


By the way, it's my opinion that linking "C-MASC Mk.II" to the Ice Ferret's IFR-J(L) RT OmniPod instead of the Chassis Variant would be a completely safe move. Other than having to trade So8 (Set of Eight) away on any Variant selected, the user who swaps an OmniPod in with C-MASC present must give away critical slots, tonnage, and/or possibly quirks as well. Also, if they lose that Right Torso during their battle, then they also lose the C-MASC's assistance plus a fair chunk of their natural speed & mobility until the fight is over. Unless my mental logic doesn't add up, that's a very high risk versus not much reward for any pilot that fails to handle their Mech rather well, should they choose having C-MASC over things like tonnage, critical slots, quirks, and/or hardpoints to utilize. In turn, allowing the IFR-J(L) (subsequently without "(L)" in the future) RT OmniPod to be what holds the C-MASC instead of the Chassis Variant itself should never be a balancing nightmare of any kind, or at least that's how I'm seeing it. Just something to think about in releasing IFR-J into the MWO environment down the road, and a suggested change which I hope to see adopted by time of release for enabling variety on this 45-ton Mech that someone could view as being a pudgy ground pounder.


Before my mind forgets... You could also call the IFR-J(L) something simple like "Juliet 6000" (the "J6K" for short) since we have the FLE-R5K "Romeo 5000" Hero already present in MWO's environment at this time. It's a bit of a play on numbers and lettering!

[Rhaelcan]

My fridge does not need a nickname. It's an inlore variant. Jalapeno would be best for it.

[Hawk819]

I'm giving up on the Firemoth. Period!

[Rhaelcan]

We never were gonna get the fire moth.

We're getting that "C-MASC Mk. I" in trade for having lost extra weapons hardpoints. It will make another interesting way to play the Piranha for those who get strange ideas regarding constructing one. You realize that eventually has to happen.

And as for having a Missile Piranha added, perhaps that would make a good second addition around the same time. Just so happens that PGI could even resort to releasing a Booster Pack with such present, for which then people could buy that Missile Piranha and get an additional "(S)" version with Special Camo & (C-Bills) Bonus included too. We don't have to limit ourselves by only adding one or the other!

You might want to turn this Announcement into an item linked off the website's News Feed such that everyone who asks can easily get answers regarding their questions about this. Right now, your thread is seriously really hard to reach!
