Trenchbucket and Crab are much higher on my list of priorities.

I dare say I'm not the only one who saw a BlackJack and mentally rebuilt it as a Phoenix Hawk.
Mobile upper-mediums are what i'm after.
Problem is all the fun ones are unseen.
Shadow Hawk, Griffin, Wolverine...

Then again...Kintaro, anyone?

Besides, the timeline went out the window the minute the game started. Double heatsinks were reintroduced in 3030, and many lostech items were trickled back in, even though some of it was re-introduced in 3039.

You do realize the game is at 3049, not 3039 right?

No offense but the MWO Blackjack looks totally weird.

Sort of..its the legs that bother me....they need to be bigger/fatter..proportions look verry off. This thing looks like it could topple over when fired. The top inner thigh needs to be fatter and a little bit on the outter side....the calf needs to be a little bigger as well..but the feet need to be redone. This is only concept art..how it will looks in game is going to be up to the devs....
I like the look for the top half, good art on that . Just tweek the legs!!!

having UA5s adds NOTHING to the story other to confuse players that know that the Blackjack did not ever come with UA5s.

It added plenty of excitement to this thread.

Cry me an f. river!!!

all you tabletop nerds with your stupid timelines....

THIS IS AN COMPANY THEY WANT MONEY THEY BRING IN THE MECHS THEY THINK WILL BRING MORE PLAYERS

im happy with that

i still want an bushwracker as its an iconic mech of the mechwarrior series

and than i want to see the first clan mechs better sooner than later

cause if ya watch the time from saying it comes till its ingame we are allready close to 2014 with all what is still anounced!!!!!

Puma Vulture Supernova Dire-Wolf Mad-Cat and so on need to be here 1!111!1!!1! and so on

and than when the first clan mechs are in we can finnaly go to an invasion map where clans can battle over planets to get bonuses or maybe MC like gold in World of tanks

Most importantly it's name is BJ. Can't wait to pair this with my Yen-Lo-Wang on Teamspeak...

"Wang moving into position ready for approaching BJ"

"The BJ is finished, my Wang is a bit beat up though"

"Oh uh, another BJ coming down on my Wang, and I've already blown most of my load..."


Good times

There should be 10 slots on the arms because of the arm layout. AC20 arms!!!! YAY

good luck with that on a 45 ton mech.

* by "AC20 arms" I assume you mean two AC/20s, one in each arm...

its going to have a combination of no armor, low engine or low ammo.

[Pando]

Thontor, on 11 January 2013 - 09:14 AM, said:

all 3 of those most likely.

Agreed.

37 tons filled with standard engine and those two big boys.

You have 8 tons for all of your: Armor, heatsinks, ammo (at least 2 tons for each, since you have no backup weapons ) and maybe JJs.

[metro]

This will be a great choice, look forward to running it.

37 tons with endo steel, 100XL, 6 added heat sinks to reach the minimum 10, and 2 AC/20s..

10 single heat sinks is plenty for 2 AC/20

8 tons left for armor and ammo...

No matter where you put those 8 tons... 36 kph with short range weapons? Pretty much a sitting duck.

Downgrade to AC/10s and add a couple of Small Lasers as backup weapons, and you'll have a "Double Urbie" for only a 50% weight increase!

Stuff like this is only good with Clan-Tech: Hunchback IIC (x2 UAC/20, x2 ER M.Las) 64 k/ph, Jump Jets, and paper thin armor.

Looking forward quite a bit to taking the Blackjack out for a spin

[Eddrick]

This version of the BlackJack looks much better then the one from the BattleTech books
