I for one cannot wait for the Legendary Dire Wolf in 2025 (hopefully)!

Just ECM (and no JJ) in its CT in this omnimech!

A Gold Mech paintjob on it would also be brilliant

[Hawk819]

Another wish Iike to add is: More variants for the Sun Spider. Sheesh, give us some hardpoints to make our builds!

Turkina would have higher hardpoint geometry than the Direwolf and possible better hitboxes depending on it's redesign. Also you are comparing a 95 tonner to a 100 tonner, which albeit is not much of a difference in weight value they serve completely two different roles. There are only two 95 tonners for the clans, the Executioner and the clan Bullshark so the Turkina would fit that 95 ton gap.

I'm staring at it, and the CGL mini I have on my desk.

It's a King Crab with higher arms and locked equipment.

The exact same problem of being a small helicopter landing pad torso, with wide arms that hold the main firepower is going to be a hell of a thing to overcome.

But then I suppose the people who want the Turkina don't particularly care too hard about that

Rule of cool. The turkina is a pet mech for some people; even if its not strictly superior to what came before, im sure some people will play it with glee.

If we want it to actually be good the cauldron just needs to give it quirks. This is essentially the same for any mech or variant you can think of that isn't yet in the game but on its own wouldn't perform. As long as PGI and the cauldron are willing to quirk it to the level it needs to perform, its all viable.

Haven't paid enough attention to hear if they killed any notion of MWO2.

1. More variants for the original lines of mechs.
Sell them as a pack with c-bill bonuses, none of them need to be hero or legendary, and have the boost-free versions for c-bills.

2. Figure out how to sell a "conversion" token or whatever you need to call it to upgrade the chassis that you want to use to a c-bill and/or xp bonus mech. We were asking for it when the Yen-lo was announced.

3. Don't know if it would require duplicate maps, but at least on the larger ones have completely different drop locations that more directly set 2 lances against each other at the start. The majority the the maps could do this.

I think it will be awesome if we can have access to new gyro and engines, it open up some new builds with compact engine and gyros, and xl gyro is good for weight savings.

Also add improve weapon upgrades, like improve heavy lasers, shorter duration, but much easier to destroy, improve hgr exchange some damage for better range, add in light and heavy ferro for either reduce slots eaten by the armor or extra protection at the cost of slots.

Mech wise, I would love the rest of the classic IIC comes out they would be a nice addition, plus more IS omni mechs, there are plently that can be added in with minimal work on the model.

[VeeOt Dragon]

i wouldn't mind IS omnies, hell i don't even think they would have to do much to the models even for that one. perhaps a slight adjustment to the look to differentiate but still being obvious its the same mech.

Turkina would be inferior 'Mech.

Just a five tons lighter Daishi with less tonnage for weapons and equipment. Actually, with 8.5 tons less.

Also, with fixed jump jets that you can not remove.

That just means it can be given better base stats (agility) and interesting quirk sets. Giving the whole lineup a substantial set of jumping quirks to maximize the return on the forced tonnage investment would help define a unique role for it.

Otherwise, ammo quirks could partially make up for the tonnage deficit, otherwise I’m sure it would get a nice set of defensive/offensive quirks to balance it against the other options. I’m not worried about it getting balanced appropriately.

[Hawk819]

What about variants? Does anyone have variants that they want to see?

For me, as I said before, need some variants for the Sun Spider. Like Mix of energy, missile, and ballistic in the arms, just for starters. I'd also like see new variants for the Night Gyr, like the E variant. It'll give us three energy hp in the opposite arm. Plus,maybe a T variant, just move a fixed armor/internal endo steel point to available hp space. Or give us a P variant.

Centurion D5 adds masc to the variant and can quirked around the rac5 it carries, the D9 is a jump jet variant with compact gyros, and the plasma rifle can be replaced with a snub nose ppc, and the ammo replaced by two extra heat sinks.

Also the CN10 series of variants that bump it's weight to 55 tons and most of the variants can be added with only the D replacing the Case II for regular case.

Speaking of I.S. OmniMechs, Centurion OmniMech would be nice.

HBK-C, -6S, -7S, -5SG

There's a few in just about every one of the original line's that could be added with minimal work to the models. Some would probably be similar enough that they just require spread sheet work and re-directed quirks. The overall variant lines could be expanded quite a bit by re-building quirks for later models that sought to do different things.

The only ones that might require some additional coding are the oddball mixed tech one's like the HBK-C that utilizes a clan engine.

That's alot of new tech like mml and case II, but if mml is added to the game I would love it so much IS ATM it cover the weakness of IS pure lurm boats by having them fight off lights and other mechs that rush into their face.

Wouldn't it be nice if they did. MML, maybe, but Case II is a stretch.

If a turkina gets put in the game without the best UPs of any assault mech then its a wasted mech.

The turkina is a 95 ton JUMPER. Whatever its quirks end up being, it better ******* JUMP.

Remove or rework Alpine Peak
This map is horrible.

Dont you touch my big dumb map

[RabidBeagles]

Update Supply Caches.

[RockmachinE]

Bring back Gold mechs.

[MightyBolamite]

My wishlist?

Firstly, I feel the lower weights are dominated by which Mech can carry the most Magshot/AP Gauss. While I don't think it's a bad thing that they're useful, they seem to be a bit overperforming. So maybe something can be done to reign those weapons in a little.

More sales on camos and colors. More camo options would be great too.

Mechs I'd like to see include:
Anubis
Razorback
Starslayer
Mongrel
Wolverine IIC
