Hey all!

It's been a bit since I've treated y'all to a teaser, so I thought I'd post some goodies! This July we're doing one legendary mech(an inner sphere assault mech with ECM!) and we are releasing the Tournament Supporter Pack for the MWO Comp Championship Series 2024! The TSP will have three variants in it and the pack will be made up of multiple smaller packages you can purchase a la carte to allow players to pick and choose the content they want without purchasing the whole thing. Like previous years, it will come with a cbill and XP booster.

One of the variants in there will be the Atlas AS7-M(TSP), here's the specs!



There will also be a Cicada and Zeus variant, but we're gonna wait until we're a little closer to the pack release to show them off.

Cheers!

Because this game is running critically short on assault 'Mechs. I barely see them in the game.

The Official Union of Zeus Operators [OUZO] wants you to shut up and take their money!

Much appreciated someone is taking care of that iconic 80t assault! Thanks a lot => Guaranteed purchase!

I'd rather we get more variants of the other mechs. It's always the meta ones getting more meta.

[OUZO] had a dream that one day this chassis will rise up and live out the true meaning of its lore ...

Ok, i'm here for turbo Atlas. MASC in the arm is just rad.

I'm guessing a magshot boat..
Jump jets plz!

Why is there a case in the right torso, but no ammo?
Is there something I don't know about light engines or something?

Fill a slot, maybe? IS case is literally just a space filler now if you don't have ammo in that location.

meh.

I think that Atlas just sold me a TSP.

Good hunting,

My take... there was a space to fill, so the CASE was thrown in there to prevent an ammo explosion in the right leg from burning through the leg + right torso and on into the center torso. The CASE in the side torso stops it cold. Having a Light Engine, it makes sense to toss the mitigating equipment, even if only one torso is protected.

Finally an Atlas with 6pack chest lasers!

Only wish it had single energy or single ballistic in arms for SL or MShot to knock down UAV's.

Other than that, this thing looks great Tiy0s!!!

[BlueDevilspawn]

This is correct. The stock Marauder Blight has a similar build.

You can also take the chance of putting 2 tons of ammo in a side torso in a gamble that you'll use it up before the torso gets opened and ammo exploded. This would let you case a leg.

The Zeus.

Bring him to me.

Hey folks!

What chassis do you think will the July-contribution (ECM IS-Assault) be?

After browsing Sarna a bit and trying to take assaults into account, that ain't used too frequently / tend to get placed onto the mechlab-shelf most of the time, I would guess that the Battlemaster will receive some well-deserved attention! Not seen very often, if at all. So might be a fresh approach to bring unused / underrepresented mechs back onto the battlefield again.

Banshee might be another option often overlooked, but is used more often than the Battlemaster and has some niche-variant already. Victor and the KingCrab might be ... but I kinda doubt that.

Any thoughts?

I was born ready!

I don't think a missile Atlas is a good Idea

throw some ballistics in the arms

[Bud Crue]

I know the reason/justification for more assaults. But GD we need more mediums and lights if we want to keep this game worth playing.

pretty much this we are bloated with Heavies and Assaults but since the game is getting the bare minimum attention from a few devs, I don't see it changing anytime soon. I really want more 20 tonners like the Wasp and Stinger were missing 20 ton mechs with jump jets, but that's less likely because it requires an entirely new model, which sucks alot imo.
