The Vindi is my favorite 'mech! Would you like to sign my petition to see it included in the game?

That's ok then. I just made it a poll so I'd know how many people wanted to see it in the game (and how many of those were really big fans like me ;) ). By not voting, you've chosen not to sign the petition. And that's cool too!

Every mech should be in the game, eventually.

It doesn't really matter the order, in my opinion, so long as we eventually get a whole bunch load more of Mechs.

I completely agree! Again, I'm just trying to get a sense of how many people are fans of this 'mech.

Eeeeeew. A medium that's as slow as some assault 'Mechs and with less firepower than some lights. No thanks.

Low-low-low-low-low priority. Down there with the BNC-3E Banshee.

It's a piece of junk, but it's an iconic Capellan piece of junk. And it could use a Flying Debris makeover. ;)

Not sure about Vindi. It's kind of a hybrid between Commando and Centurion, both design- and armament-wise, so I guess it would be redundant right now. I would say it should make it in eventually, but not any time soon as devs already have enough good mechs to add.

Vindicator can also be viewed as some sort of Panther upgrade, so even Kuritan fans shouldn't have problem falling in love with that machine. Also, it is different from the other mechs already in the game and I don't see any "seen" mech that would fill the place of a third medium mech in the game better. And we really need at least one Capellan mech with which we can fight (so Raven goes out of teh picture).

P.S Catapult isn't a Capellan mech, nor could be used as a signature one, because it is just support. Would you like to see a capellan lance filled with Centurions being supported by Catapults fighting a Daviot lance looking the same? Definitely no.

What we are more likely to see is a Capellan lance of Ravens spotting for Catapults fighting a Davion lance looking the same. ;)

The Vindicator fills the same role as the Centurion. I'd prefer to see the next medium mech giving us something a bit different.

I'd like to see it eventually. Mediums are fun... the Vindicator is an interesting design, so why not. But, I would prefer seeing something like a Dervish or Trenchbucket first... more diversity in the weight class. Then again, MWO is an equal opportunity game ;)

Thanks for putting up the picture, Adridos!

And thanks to everyone else for looking, even if you decided not to sign.

Here's hoping YOUR favorites are included too!

;)

Vindy is a great little Mech, and FD did a wonderful rework on it. Darn tootin' this Mech needs to be added to the rolls. Besides, the Liao players need something to get all warm and fuzzy about.

While it's an OK medium I think we need to see some faster mediums in first.

It's by far not a favorite of mine but it does have its uses, and honestly I want to see a lot of different mechs in all weight classes so we don't see like 4 of one kind in a lance

That's because this is a typical House Liao poll. We are usually given option A, the will of the Chancellor, or option B, the will of the Chancellor. Silence is consent. Thank you for your contribution, Citizen. :ph34r:

House Liao needs this 'Mech. Since the end of the Fourth Succession War, it represents the majority of Capellan military production, so its absence would be conspicuous.

hehe - It's totally up to you!

You can either agree with the Celestial Wisdom or vehemently agree with her!

(Please note: simply agreeing with her is not advised.)

In all seriousness, though, I used the poll feature as a way to collect 'signatures'. Having two options was something I did just to differentiate those who were willing to back my petition for the 'mech from those who consider it [one of] their favorite[s].
