Mhh, you should look up your weapon stats, as you are using Clan and not IS weapons.
ER PPC 15 3 7
no ER medium Laser
Gauss Rifle 1 7 15
LB 10-X AC 2 6 11
ER Large Laser 12 2 5
CASE 1 crit 0.5t and only in the side torso


sorry, but you might need to think about an other build...

Personally, some of the later banshee's r useful and even the early ones r good at melee. i really hope mw online incorporates melee attacks and weapon. Miss the axeman :-(

[EDMW CSN]

You can try using that maybe next year or 2 years later. Cos no clan tech till later dude.

nda breach much?

That is all.

Yeah, better wait for that particular mech for next 20 years or so.
You won't see any mechs in the game that are not being produced in 3049. Unless the MWO creators decide to accelerate the time in-game. But as it is right now as the devs say the MWO follows the time line on 1-on-1 basis. So 24 hours in real life is 24 hours in the game.

So any mechs beyond 3049 are there years in the future. At least as things stand right now.

[Steel Prophet]

Actually... with that modification it's just not a 3E anymore so....

[CaveMan]

*snort* So you used Clan weapons and ignored the hardpoint restrictions?

Way to make your point there. In other news, an UrbanMech can carry an Arrow IV.

Oh yeah? Somebody needs to take a look at their history! According to Solaris Skunk Werks, (now which one of you wants to prove to me that that is inaccurate?) every one of those weapons were made way before the 30th century! Yes, I can understand why people would be confused about the production year. But the truth is, I never entered in 3070, it must've been from the TRO or something. I didn't focus on the time, just the make of everything itself. Lastly, the reason the tech base was clan and not mixed is because 95 ton standard structures are identical between the clans and the Inner Sphere. And the Era? Yeah, everyone says it all started next year, but what does the date in the first sentence say at the beginning of this article? <http://www.sarna.net...i/Clan_Invasion>

P.S. my name's not Junior, it's Jacob Davion.

SSW is right, you are just using it wrong.
Clan weapons are not available to the Inner Sphere until the invasion. All the weapons you have selected may have been manufactured in clan space prior to the invasion, but that does not mean a thing until the invasion occurs.
SSW auto enters the production date of the base chassis you selected, but it might be wrong in this instance.
The tech base will say clan beacuse you used no inner sphere only tech, clan wepons and clan ferro armor.
You slowed down the Banshee from 4/6 to 3/5, and we dont know what hardpoint limitations the in game one will have.

Nice try but ultimately a failure. If you want to try a slower gunboat Banshee i suggest the BNC-3S.

[Dr Killinger]

Good luck getting those weapons before anyone in the Inner Sphere is even aware of their existence.

Hmm What? Banshee aren't even announced yet, so what's to breach? Everything else is from the TT game.

[verybad]

Banshee 3S was the best 3025 era Assault mech. So it all depends on which Banshee you're looking at.

[Jacob Davion]

C'mon. Look alive gentlemen! Put your thinking caps on! And SMDMadCow, wrong. It's not ultimately a failure for two reasons. 1) The tech base may be only clan, but did you not get what the devs said? We'll be aloud to switch armor, engines, and weapons. And for the weapons, we're only restricted to the hardpoint system that the original mech delivers. That being said, every weapon put on this mech is in the right hardpoint! Including the ER Large Laser in the head! 2) What in world! I thought I just explained this! People say that the Clan invasion started in 3050, but fyi, it actually started in August, 3049. Oh wait! Lemme check....................that's this month! Oh whatdya know!

<http://www.sarna.net...i/Clan_Invasion>

Before anyone else says the false statement of the Clans coming in 3050, click on this blasted link for crying out loud!

Last but hardly the least, I am well aware that the Banshee is not released yet, it's merely a suggestion of what could happen if it was folks. By the way, a quick suggestion to help prevent arguments. And this is just my opinion, but when a not-so-useful mech like the Banshee or the Cicada get's released, don't look at what it is now, look at what it could be, and what you can do to make it that way.

Or you could pilot a BNC-3S.
The invasion may have started in the periphery, but it will still be next year until they hit the outer worlds of the FRR, FC, and DC. And there will still be a while before any of the clan tech diseminates to the successor states and the small matter of techs needing to make it work. Why dont you try reading and then comprehending the story line before you brow beat people "cuz i wunt naow!!".

I havent seen anything posted by the devs that specifically state we will be able to mix and match technologies. Perhaps i missed it, could you post a link or the quote? Thanks.

So? You may be right about when they show up to the Successor States. All I was doing was proving a point. Plus, so what? Just cuz the devs said nothing about mixing techs doesn't mean that we won't be aloud to. The bottom line is, since we don't know, we might as well try both sides of the story here. If you're right, we'll stick to basic Inner Sphere tech. If not, then people better grow up fast, cuz I can guarantee that almost every single MechWarrior here won't be saying for long that they're fine with plain old Star League technology.

Yup, thats what happens when clan weapons and equipment are better in everyway.
I wouldnt bet on us being able to equip clan stuff off the bat though.
