Will Arrow IV missles be in the game? I just ask because I would hate to take an arrow to the knee.
(Thats right, I went there.)

It was redeveloped by the Capellans in 3044 working from the Helm Memory Core. Even Liao players are likely to have to pay a premium for it at first, though (until they earn enough Loyalty Points to rank up). And outside the CC, it's going to be pricey and rare.

Off topic from my Arrow question, but will we see LB-X Autocannons? And if so, will we be able to swap between slug and scatter ammo? I've always wanted to do that.

[Sporkosophy]

LBX-10 was around, I think it's the only one of that type at this point.

LBXAC/10 is canon for IS at this time. Also UltraAC/5. As for switching between ammo types, we don't know but I certainly hope so; if I'm using LBX on a 'mech, I always like to have a mix so as to be able to swap out based on need.

No one knows for sure. You will have to ask the developers. People on the forums don't know everything, and most of what is posted by us is speculation.

Fair enough. Thanks.

Arrows would be nice if they required TAG to target an enemy unit. Would give those scouts something to do



"Tai-i," came the worried voice of Talon Sergeant Mirua, "my sensors show you are being illluminated by Target Acquisition Gear for an Arrow IV missile system."
Young Toyama laughed. "I have it too, Gun-san. It's absurd. The gaijin don't have anything like---"

TAG might be nice even as a bluff to force people to get to cover.

They were mentioned as existing in-universe in the 12/03/2011 ISN post.

[BRYAN] No. Prices may vary, but everyone has equal access to items.

'Twon't be much of a monopoly if everyone has access to it...

[Kenyon Burguess]

There is a variant of the Catapult, the CPLT-C3, that mounts an Arrow IV system.

Just saying.
