Need to add combination option in the poll, atleast an all of the above. ;p

Given the current in game mechs my response will be Light and heavy. Raven and Dragon.

[Mike Silva]

I voted light, but it should be said that I kinda consider the Cicada to be a light 'mech because you have to drive it like one, even if it technically is not.

[Rodney28021]

I will play what i can get. Really don't have a preference in sizes of mechs. I like mechs with all energy weapons so that will be what i will play the most. I guess there will Not be healers in this game haha. I will try to tank or play damage dealers or scout.

[Sleeping Bear]

I really want to take the scout role but I think that doing it in a light chassis will be a detriment unless I have a really heavily EW'd chassis like a Raven. As a scout I would more probably like to roll around in a medium. The decent armor and good mobility would give me the tools of a decent scouting platform without the vulnerabilities that a light chassis suffers. The Cicada would actually make a really nice chassis to scout in if it had a tougher hide(more armor).

I will be Lovin me some Awesome(always liked in in Minitures for teh fire power and the way it looked)... But one of teh scouts is going to be fun to....

[Ian Williams]

Heavy. specifically the Catapult. the variant with the one small laser and the LRM-20's. i'm a bit of an artillery man, if you hadn't noticed

[Krezlar]

I love assault mechs but will start out in a heavy for the protection and some speed t start out

[Juiced]

Iv got the need....the need for speed.

Basically i want to go really fast.

[Calvin Vakarian]

Personally, I'm probably going to stick with either the Hunchback, or the Catapult-K2, I might do a Commando if my lance desperately needs a scout mech, but otherwise I won't bother.

[John Clavell]

All classes. I'm not going to stick with one thing for next 10 years.

I really hope Mediums will stand out as excellent all-rounders.

So much this.

[Cifu]

At the start most probably the Assault ones.

Why?

Well, the reason is the Awesome. I love that beast, and none the less, the standard AWS-8Q are basically a good PPC-boat (the first thing need to do is throw out that useless SLas, and put an another half tons of armor).

Probably more towards the medium to heavy mechs for me. Though I do like to run around in a scout every so often.

Same here.

[Exillian]

Light, In an ATLAS!!!! JKJK!

Light class Cent. I love the idea running around the back of heavies then shooting them at the back with an A/C 20.

[Aero Slasher]

Assault / Heavy class is always good until the clan mechtech come out then i go light never cared much for the mediums

sarna, the battletech wiki says 3053, so if MW:O sticks to this realtime timeline, four years. maybe we'll get a few time-skips ahead at some point?

[Killian Samuels]

I will definitely go light, I love the speed and mobility, not to mention the oodles of sexy light mechs.

[Oswin Aurelius]

This poll has renewed my faith in humanity. Although I think some of the Heavy pilots need to downgrade their rides. XD
