Currently there is a lack of several weight classes in this game, one in particular is 55 tons. I was poking around and was shocked to find that the Dervish not only has a whole bunch of variants but also a unique model that could easily be patterned in for a Hero mech! DV-8D2 Dervish "Lightbringer" was a FRR mech seen fighting on Solaris. The loadout might be a little more high tech then the current timeline but if they downgraded Yen-Lo-Wang to make it in im sure they would not have any problems doing so here. PGI please take note of this post, i wanna see a Dervish implemented after the Blackjack, please and thank you.

Hunchback 4SP... nuff said.

We already have many missile boats like Dervish, even the Trebuchet falls into that category.

In time perhaps, it was discussed in another thread. All these add 'favorite Mech' posts are getting old though. Let's all just agree we want to see over 100 Mechs in this game, lol. I know I do.

And also as discussed in another thread, the Dervish might be fairly limited due to the PGI's current time line restriction.

Basically all there is to choose from are:

DV-6M
DV-6Md
DV-7D

All of which are extremely similar.

Mostly posted this on the thought that the custom variant DV-8D2 Dervish "Lightbringer" looked pretty cool. It was a dual ppc, quad medium laser build which left the missle boat mentality of the other variants. Though it may be similar to the other missle boat variants like the 4SP it still differs greatly, its heavier has jump jets and the possibility of a unique variant should make it a front runner for PGI, but maybe that's just me.

[General Taskeen]

Well of course, naturally



4 ER Medium Lasers
2 Snub-Nose PPC's
8 Improved Jump Jets
2 Coolant Pods
Spiked Cockpit to protect against melee attacks

It may be a little outta the time line like i said but i think Lightbringer would make a great Hero mech, would fit well with the pop tarting trend that seems to be going on right now too! PGI would just have to make the hero mech a tech reduced version or something, similar to what they did with Yen-Lo-Wang, which was around for years and went through various tech upgrades.

Dervish would be my favorite mech if it was put in.
7 energy, 5 energy + 2 missile and 4 missile + 3 energy variants would rock.
With a 4 energy + 2 missile hero mech.
275 base engine on all of them, means you could use a 350XL in them.
Most are jump capable too.
We need a 55 tonner, it's my favorite mech tonnage.

More of a kintaro fan myself. Or better yet a Lancelot -

[Tennex]

definately definately dervish.

[MasterErrant]

well I voted yes but they kind of shoehorned the dervish and all of the other "double nickles" into the Cent the Treb and the hunchie.

I'll vote yes on any suggestion to bring in the 55s it's just not right without them.

[Hellcat420]

battlemaster or ****!!!!!!!

[Belorion]

I voted yes and no. Yes in that add the Dervish, no in that it should not only have two variants with the third being a hero (although a hero in addition is fine). I see a few ways they could do this.

1. Group some chassis together so that the Dervish and another 55 ton mech without 3 variants can be included.
2. Say that there is some periphery shops that are retrofitting the Dervish DV-1S with modern tech.
3. Include the DV-6Md

what do I think?
that's what I think......


Needless to say, I was willing to give Alex orthos to it and everything, but with the bullsheet going on with the Forum Thought Police, I am not sure I want to do anything to support the game anymore.

Then don't?

[Avimimus]

Lancelot looks nice!

[Carrioncrows]

I like it, though small nitpick is to move the LRM launchers up a wee bit.

Every time I look at it I think LRM-Jubblies which are the lesser known cousin to Machine-Gun Jubblies (YE-ah! Baby!)
