You can run a 5N with 2 AC2s, 2 LL and a SRM6 (or SSRM) and do pretty well with it.

am i the only one here that would like to see the masakari??

Lots of people would like to see it, but it is a clan mech so we have to wait.

I'll see that pic and raise you this one:

Happy Happy Joy Joy

2 energy hardpoint are enough for me if it looks that cool
I think there is a variant with 1 CT and 1 RA energy HP.
A 2 LL spider will surely rock.

It will rock about as much as a commando with the same guns. That is to say, it won't rock at all.

Oh get off it, killjoy. Not everyone wants to be an Atlas bus-driver.

Jump jets will get fixed for the spider, Dervish will be the 55 ton medium, Highlander will be here before the Flea and is it me or does the Masakari look like an RV with legs?

Where did you get that information.
Frankyl I do not believe this since it would completely outclass the Trebuchet.
Similar HP, Same speed +JJ +5tons

Just a prediction, it's not information that's posted anywhere. Do you think it will be the Kintaro? My money's on the Dervish, though in a perfect world it's a Shadowhawk.

Could PGI create a completely new mech of their own?

I would love PGI to create their own mech!
It should just have the same stats and load out as the Shadowhawk imo.

could almost be completely original

I doubt that would happen. New variants of a mech seem more likely, in my opinion at least.

And our 55 ton IS options suck in this timeline.

Well, they have already made their own Hero Mechs and Hero backstorys, so making a brand new mech to fill a hole is not outside the realm of possibilities. But I would expect to see the Dervish before a totally new mech.

A hero version of an existing mech is slightly different from their just creating a mech from scratch.

To the OP: MWO will not turn into orionwarrior online, simply because us in the FWLM will deny pilot paperwork to opposing factions. You may see 8 orions in FWLM drops however. We like to be cool you see.

As for the spider, it's obvious PGI needs to work on their net code issues, the jump jet issues, and everything else. However, you can actually do a fair amount of damage with just 2 ML or MPL. See any centurion converted into a zombiemech, and how much damage it can do after losing all of it's weapons other than the lasers. This of course means the spider will also work as a zombie, which I might add the most effective variants use a normal engine, DHS, fero and endo steel, with 2 MPL.

I see the introduction of the spider as a hint that the netcode might finally work....
