It's a 65 ton battlemech that has:
-Base variant-
LRM 10
4 medium lasers
1 small laser
97.2 kph

Succession war era mech that ceased production, and was reintroduced in 3007. Used for headhunting other mechs and looks quite cool.

To many variants use SLDF equipment. Specificly, the Null-Signature System. Other then that. No problem.

I still would rather deal with the ECM we currently have the a Mech that can turn transparent with the Chemeleon Light Polarization Shield. Atleast, with ECM you can still see the target.

We already have two 65-tonners. Next announced 'mechs ought to be the Shadow Hawk and the Banshee.

Banshee would be fun.

We also need the Charger.

A javelin would be nice. A nice Light with lots of missile hardpoints and JJ's.

The Panther would also be a nice addition. I would not mind seeing the Exterminator, it's a pretty cool mech and I'd enjoy playing it with all of its features including the Chameleon Light Polarization Shield.

Might be a little unbalanced though.

I see the chameleon as just kinda like active camouflage (like in Halo, Ghost recon, etc.) Not real invisibility, and it cna be countered, but it makes you a little harder to make out no matter where you are and nearly invisible from a distance. Theres no way to really hide a giant shimmery mass of superheated metal lol

I'm more interested in what the Orion can bring to the table, as it's the first 75 ton mech and also the heaviest of the heavy class.

I don't think any 65-ton mech should have a stock speed of 97.2 kph. Too much loadout for firepower with a package that fast.

It would completely obsolete medium mechs.

Hopefully they add most if not all the Mechs. The part that sucks is needing 3 of the same chassis to unlock Elite. It precludes Mechs that have only 1 or 2 variants. Personally I would by a Mech even if it had the same hard points as another just to have it. Honestly the pilot skills should have been unlock 3 of a weight class for Elite then 3 of differing weight classes for Master. That way it allows you to experience and learn different play styles.

Is it bad***?
Is it in the timeline?

If the answer is "yes" to both of these questions then you have your answer.
