You mean...a Jenner? The fact that you didn't even know that shows how extinct (aside from me and a few other dedicated pilots) that mech has gotten.

Actually I knew, but who still uses Jenners? or the Ravens and Commandos that don't have ECM.....People might grind there way through them because they have to, but very few people stay in a none ECM light now...ECM + streaks = nom nom if you're in a Jenner.

Yeah they can't use the Rifleman.

Actually, it is more likely they were referring to the Jagermech - 65 tons and virtually identical loadout to the Rifleman.

[PYR0MANCER]

Whatever you think about the mech or it's role or whatever you have to admit that 8 spiders vs 8 spiders would be a hilariously good time...

But...Spider. WHY? Because Spider? Maybe?

I just don't see how this mech can be effective on the battlefield with some of the load outs they have. A buff to machine guns or a dramatic change in hard points are in order.

I know I'll be attempting to jump the cathedral on river city which will be fun. But I can only imagine how low my scores are going to be...

[DegeneratePervert]

I'll get one for sure. The ECM variant (no brainer) if there is one, otherwise I'll choose the one with the most pew pew hardpoints.

[color=#959595]For example, the current Machine Gun does 0.04 damage per bullet. IF the Machine Gun crits, it has the potential of doing 0.04, 0.08 or 0.12 damage to an internal item. Obviously that's not a lot of damage. Hence the new system implemented allows me to add a multiplier to this damage model...[/color]

[color=#959595]What does that mean to you? After I've completed my first pass at multiplier numbers and after it goes through testing, you will notice that the Machine Gun will become a formidable weapon when used against a component that has no armor. Basically it will start to shred items that are mounted on the targeted component...[/color]

Our prayers have been answered! Spiders and other MG builds might be VIABLE!

Sure, for bad Jenners.

They run on Pacific Time/ Western American Continents time. It's about 9PM here, so expect it in, say...15 hours? Maybe 17?

Updated main topic with some of the more notable quotes

Loving the spider love!

[TheMadTypist]

No, but I've decided not to resent it. After all, half the experience of a mech is getting to fight said mech, and if this thread is any metric by which to judge post-patch spider population then I'll have plenty of opportunities. Besides, I probably need the extra month's worth of idle play to be able to afford a Trebuchet without grinding for it when it gets released, and possibly build the financial foundation for a potential Jagermech as well.

My only worry is that I'll drop into a match tomorrow night and see seven light mechs around me- I haven't really built any dedicated scout-hunters. I shall be nibbled to death, repeatedly!

[QuantumButler]

I for one look forward to spiderfest 2013 and plan to swat many a flying metal baby.

People are going to be so mad when they realize the spider is awful.
