if you could add a Battlemech from the Battletech universe into MWO what 'mech would it be and why?

RULES
1. it cannot be clan mechs, sorry

and

2. MWO weight classes apply

[Durant Carlyle]

My suggestions aren't going to make it into the game, but here goes anyway...

I want to see the rest of the Unseens:

Wasp, Stinger, Valkyrie, Phoenix Hawk, Crusader, Marauder, Ostsol, Ostscout, Ostroc, Archer, Rifleman, Longbow, Warhammer, Falcon, Firebee, Hornet.

King Crab.
Because King Crab.

Or at least the Crab.

Split targeting ability kept intact. I want to fire left and right at the same time.

But if neither of them, I want the Dragon.

What we have is the Grand Dragon with Dragon builds. That isn't the same.

The Ymir.

It's just a beautiful machine. Visually one of my favorite designs, and even though it's got a that whole primitive-tech thing going on, it's hardpoint layout would work well in MWO without being Meta breaking. That, and it wouldn't suffer as much from being in a suboptimal weight range.

I don't understand what that means in this context.

[Thom Frankfurt]

Urbie!!!

[CyclonerM]

Well this question is not very original..

And why no Clan 'Mechs?

However, if i have to suggest an Inner Sphere 'Mech.. Though we will never get it..

Marauder!

[CoffiNail]

As above... King Crab, Crab and/or Urban... Because you are freeborn scum and only want suggestions of scum IS tech, unless it is pre-exodus. Anything that was good enough for the Star League works for me. :-)

[Bartholomew bartholomew]

Cyclops, enforcer, thug, zeus, grasshopper, crab, and king crab.

And a Zeus X hero mech

In light of never seeing our beloved Marauder or Marauder IIC, I think I will go play some Mechwarrior 2 just to spite Harmony Gold... With that said, I would like to see the Sunder, though we are a ways out from 3056.

Great idea. If i did not have a Trial of Grievance going on against the software i used to play it i would follow your steps

May the Harmony Gold stravags be enlighted some day.

... any mech that shows how broken the idea is of not using the battlemech's level of ability to aim each individual weapon that the hit-location tables describe... and for double the interest, any mech that shows the downside of using rubber-band hardpoints ...


Perhaps the 4 ppc awesome would do it. Maybe the king crab with those two huge ballistic slots and lots of free tonnage.... perhaps the 4 ac10 annihilator.

Failing that, the flashman.

Because it's ugly as sin and will peel your face off.

[Triordinant]

Warhammer. First 'mech I ever used.

[Blood Rose]

The Urbanmech. Because its small, cute, pathetic looking and can inflict enough pinpoint damage to make an assault sit up and take notice.

Failing that, the reseen Marauder. Because I just love that Mech.

[KuroNyra]

Hum...
All of them?

I would very much like to see the crabs in action on MWO, but Hermes II, where are you!?! http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Hermes_II

[Onlystolen]

I want to see the Clint http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Clint. A nice 40 ton medium mech to keep the Cicada company.

Archer 4M

From table top I have always liked the archer and learned to cause terror in my opponents through the effective use of LRMs.

When you can roll through a re-enforced lance (6 mechs), a company of armor, one company of mech infantry, two companies of leg infantry, one company of jump infantry, and finish it off by kicking (punting) the last Romel tank. Nothing compares. Of course I have to give credit to the Banshee, Stealth and Gunslinger from my lance. Also the Marauder II that tried to DFA me, after 80 missiles, 4 hits by my ML's, Then my rear ML's finishing him off with a headshot or else I would have been toast. After he went down it was a turkey shoot. I think we got 2 tanks, 3 APC's, 2 mechs and equipment for a company of infantry. We did not ask questions as to what happened to the prisoners. That question is for the planetary authorities.

I had a set of rules for LRM's for how to use them in table top and they apply in MWO.

Given the chance - Warhammer. However, as I know it would never happen so long as Harmony Gold still exists.... Black Knight. Because I want all the energy hardpoints.

Yeah, no. If you check the record sheet for the Dragon you'll see it does in fact have a lower arm actuator in the right arm. The ONLY difference in the Dragon and Grand Dragon is the inclusion of the PPC in the Grand Dragon.
