Hello everyone,

There are tons of outstanding battlemechs manufactured in the Draconis Combine (DC) and some of them distinctively represent House Kurita. If you were to choose from one of these mech designs for piloting, what would be your choice?

Personally, I like the Banzai (large vibroblade, large lasers, good armour, nice looking mech and last but not least the MASC as well as the booby trap) and the Lynx (PPC, large lasers and quartet of medium lasers, plus excellent armour, speed and mobility) and I hope that both mechs will be implemented in the game at some stage. Moreover, I hope that melee combat will be introduced at some stage, of course, not only because of the DCs high number of mech designs with hand-held close combat weapons.

The only good Draconis Mech is a dead Draconis Mech!

Dragon. A mech which was intended to replace my favorite mech and by looking at it, pretty much really similar loadout, just heavy chasis. :P

I guess, a Crab would be cool, too. Since ComStar gave them to House Kurita, they should be able to use them.

I am looking forward to upgrading a Dragon into a Grand Dragon. I prefer the PPC to an AC5.

Also hope we get a Hatamoto-Hi, HTM-27U, 80 tons of PPC toting MPL blazing samurai glory!

You should really change your allegiance, then. There is nothing to loose. ;)

Sneaky Capellan, I like the bushwacker, Axman, Centurion and Wolfhound more than enough to keep me Davion ;)

Hatamoto-Chi, it has always been the most iconic DC mech for me since I started in the 3050 ~ 3058 era.

Let's see. ^_^

Bushwacker... uber piece of trash until refitting in 3050?

Axman... not making it into the game in approx. next 1 and a half of a year.

Centurion... one plausible mech.

Wolfhound... light Centurion and thus it has really small chance of making it into the game at all.


That's one, or two mechs against the whole Kuritan arsenal. ;)

Doing this from work and from memory but :
Light Mech : Jenner JR7-D (More Modern : Jenner JR7-K)
Medium Mech : Hunchback HBK-4J (More Modern mech : Wolverine WVR-7K)
Heavy Mech : Marauder MAD-3R (Also, more current Grand Dragon DRG-5K)
Assault Mech : Victor VTR-9K

Those are the ones that I remember Kurita having access to in 3050. The ones I really like come out about 4-5 years later, or are from other houses.
