A supersized catapult with more weapons it can reasonably fire....one can dream.

Is anyone else planning to buy a Stalker and name it Strelok? (I'll even accept Marked One)

I'm hoping for some holiday sale/special. Clearly from my founder status I enjoy throwing money at things I enjoy. Please liberate me of excess funds.

I'm down to spend more money.

Don't tell my GF though.

The stalker, a 85 ton assault mech with JJ and able to use 4 LRM 20's with ease. I expect a lot of crying over this, it also can use several PPC's instead and will be a very good sniping mech or rain LRM death mech.

Someone needs to name their Stalker Kolchak, yes?

To which Stalker variants are you referring as jump-capable?
Ask the Devs 18 confirmed that the planned Stalker variants are the STK-3F, STK-3H, STK-4N, STK-5M, and STK-5S - none of which are jump-capable.
Additionally, the Sarna article does not indicate that any of the listed canon variants are jump-capable...

In reference to the thread title, Ask the Devs 14 indicates what the devs have planned for the 'Mech (and map) release schedule:

Q: How often can we expect new chassis and maps to be released, during open beta and "going live"? [TrashcanDan]

A: We plan to release a minimum of one new BattleMech design + variants per month. Our goal is to produce 2 a month post launch. Maps take much longer to develope, around 3 months. We expect to release maps on a regular cadence starting in late October. If you averaged it out, probably 6 maps + variants per year. Currently we are working on alternate versions of the 4 announced maps and two new maps, desert and something unannounced. [BRYAN]

ugh... forgot how fugly it was.... nice hooves though, you should have slapped antlers on it.

Get used to it Lonestar. I'll be piloting at least one of these once its released. They have a totally banging weapons load and thus awesome hard point set up!

Ohgodyes, Stalker! The only Assault I care about ^o^
