It's a 3060 'Mech so it's gonna be a while before it would be fitting into the timeline (*cough* not that all of the current 'Mechs are doing that either *cough*) and there's the thing of having 3 variants, which this thing can't povide without becoming a completely different 'Mech.

I do agree though. 60 tons of LRM glory just to mess with everyone else, but the Catapult does exactly the same and brings some spare tonnage as well. An Urbie however, that's something I really want to annoy other people with.

"Men..."

*Four lances of Yeomans line up and lock onto an enemy Atlas. I point to the sky in dramatic fashion.*

"UNLEASH THE LOLS!"

*Yeomans fire, unleashing a swarm of firey swirly twisty LRMs unlike the universe has ever seen.*

Translation: I want.

Me thinks you can have a similar setup with a Mad Dog.. or at least they did it in MWLL :)

I think there should be a Kuritan variant with PPC's and a variant that trades the 2 LRM10's for Medium Lasers. then presto! we have 3 YMN's. (Not counting the 10-OR variant if we dont get XL gyros)

...and the command to fire would be "Stand, and deliver!"

You'd need Russel Crowe to give the command, for proper dramatic effect of course. :D

We had that abomonation in MW4. If PGI ever decides to give us a Yeoman I really hope they throughly redesign the thing.

I could never get over how ugly that "walking boom box" looked!

One way to make it work would be to make the missile launchers the entire left and right torsos and force the mech to have to use an XL engine. Then it would truly be a glass cannon, putting out a lot of missile firepower but also being very easy to destroy.
