I want to see a Highlander. It should be an Assualt class, and nothing would be more awesome incredible than to know that Highlander Burials will be in the game.

Having read the Dev Blog skills trees, something occurs to me. Whatever mechs are added to the game need 3 viable variants. For Example: Jenner 7D, 7F, 7K. Catapults have 3 variants before advanced tech, and so on. Are there 3 distinctive versions of the Orion? And the Awesome variants rip out the PPCs.


I'm pretty sure the Dev's stated that mechs with relatively few variants will be quicker to train up, but won't have very large skill bonuses associated with them.

I feel you. Someone really needs to make a thread about all the designs that were in mass qualitites in 3049.

So we can stop having people posting up why their favorite Clan mech should be in the game based in a time period in which the Clans haven't invaded yet lol

Actually, I just finished "Lethal Heritage," and I realized something. If MWO is released in August, in game it will be August, 3049. So this means: AVOID GOING TO THE ROCK AT ALL COSTS. Unless of course you like long range weaponry destroying your ***... I mean lower rear center torso armor. Clan Wolf was first sighted on The Rock in August of '49. I certainly won't be going there for a bit.

There's technically six, with 4 of them being usable by this point in the timeline.

It also doesn't mean PGI can't create more then one variant, or is definitely limited to only picking 'mechs with multiple variants. Considering we learned they have a 'mech lab with hard points...you'll have a certain amount of customization anyway.

Definitely any of those 'Mechs mentioned in this thread already...

Awesome goes bzzt, crackle, zap.
Victor jumps from cover and brings the AC/20 pain!
Stalker for overwhelming firepower, anytime, anywhere.
Cyclops for added Information Warfare!
Highlander because it's better than an Atlas IMO.

It would be Awesome if you did. All this guessing hurts my brain.

I'd rather drive a Stalker than an Awesome. 3xPPCs will produce such a huge instant heat spike, it'll shut you down.

3 PPC and 28 heat sinks. Hardly a spike, unless you're spamming or too lazy to do anything but running alphas.

Really digging those FD sketches, found one of a Whitworth by chance months ago but the Crabs, Stalker, Marauder and Thorn are all new to me.

I hope Paul convinces all of them at PGI to post up an urbanmech just as a troll. Just to mess with you all. Then like four hours latter they post up the real mech, which still wont be an awesome. And the big kicker? Urbanmech wont even be in the game!

I refuse to live in a world where we never add the UrbanMech.

Right Paul?
