All of these mech suggestions are from MechWarrior 4 Mercenaries. I know we're probably a long way off before these mechs can be in MechWarrior: Online due to the timeline but even then these are just a new suggestions that I'd think would be nice additions to the roster of mechs we currently have right now. Feel free to add suggestions and provide a link if at all possible. Happy hunting Mechwarriors

I loved MW4-M(mectec pack) version of the battlemaster, specifically the first one, with huge right hand ballistics i believe (however im not the fan of phoenix hawks..), wish there was an option to add different skin for at least some of the mechs.


Edit: but more on point, id love to see Fafnir and perhaps if we go on, some more game modes would be great. Like battles with bosses, there was that one mission with a dropship, there is also a superheavy class mechs in BT, they would serve well in such modes(150t Omega, etc), i guess it would fall in PvE department but itll be great nonetheless.

I'd love to have the Longbow. Better if the Hero can also boat tons of missiles.

Do you realize how many of those 'Mechs are equipped with the technology not available in MWO? MRMs, Light and Heavy PPCs, MMLs, Rotary ACs, VSP and X-pulse lasers, etc.

It's too bad our Balance Overlord is afraid of new things other than hardpoint and clan based power creep

As is the Osiris, the Thanatos or the Argus. It seems to me that the OP is an enthusiastic MechWarrior fan, but with a limited knowledge of BattleTech.

Then perhaps we should hang him from his thumbs until he rectifies his knowledge base?

Nah.

Nah.

We should not be so cruel. What about ... letting him pilot SDR-5V Spider for two weeks.

Is the Valkyrie a light or medium mech? Other than that the Sting or Wasp would be great to see.

PGI often goes with Reseen 'Mechs, so the Scorpion would be probably more like this:

The last thing we need is more Mechs, sorry.

We have every conceivable configuration of hardpoints and skins.

It's time to make the underlying game better.

That wasn't even salty.

There are 200 varieties of Mech now available.

The underlying game is what needs the more variety.

This is a bit OT, but I've been running a MegaMek campaign where one of my starting mechwarriors was a Lyran who came with the Longbow 7Q. I threw an elite mechwarrior with 2 gunnery (soon 1) in it, and the way it wrecks face is totally ludicrous. All the missiles, every turn, without heat buildup. I've never been much of an LRM guy, but right now I'm firmly a believer.

In general'd rather see some new light 'mechs, but I agree the Longbow would bring something a bit different, as a firmly lurm-focused fattie.
