Cause he used a PPC as a placeholder for the lrm15 (same crits and tonnage)

Took that into consideration. he would be at 1.14 instead of 1.38. Also his armor is too low.

simple analysis. less missiles than the 8R = not as good as the 8R, barring ballistic slots.

It says she declined several offers to join some Solaris teams. I guess PGI eventually forcibly conscripted her.

As Stingz said above, she likely is at retirement age at this point in the timeline. Time for plan B to make some real money for a real retirement.

So, ECM capable?

[Kommisar]

Now, having 2 energy slots in the right arm would be a nice draw. The 9M only has one slot in the right arm; having two means that I could mount 2 big energy weapons co-axial, avoid convergence issues and keep them both shooting from the arm cross-hair. Especially if I am running my Large Pulse version. Uhhh... yea, I have a 2x LPL loadout for my 9M. Works really well for me; what can I say.

EDIT: And, yea. ECM sells mechs. You could drop a hero Sentinel and it would sell with ECM.

This is like the equivalent of putting rims, a body kit, a really really big spoiler, and a flame paint job on a ford aerostar.

Love the "hate the paint job" and "this doesn't fit Battletech" commentary... Like the Illya and the Phracken schemes are that much less "cartoony"?

I can't take it seriously when not but a couple days ago I saw someone in this very thread ask when the neon green, orange, pink pallet would be coming out.. (Nope not going the name shame...)

How much $MC?

I'm also a Master level Awesome player...

i'm guessing like 6000 or so. depends if it has an XL.

this will probably sell well because people will buy hero mechs for classes that usually they won't play since now its like oh hero mech!, now i just have to play 2 variants other than this!

like the dragons. whereas for classes they do play, the mech has to be better than whatever is their favorite variant, so it would have to be a good mech like an ilya.

Prosperity Park closed the other thread so I guess I'll repost it here:

"We all called it. It was pretty clear they are starting with what the community considers the weakest mechs in each weight class first.

Now looking at the picture I'm going to guess it's armament:

Head - Small Laser/Small Pulse Laser
Right Arm - PPC/ER PPC
Right Torso - LRM15 (maybe w/ Artemis)
Left Torso - Small Laser/Small Pulse Laser
Left Arm - ??? Can't see from the picture.

It might be given a second AMS to make make it different from the other Awesomes but it looks like it's chalking up to be a Hero version of the current trial Awesome AWS-8V. I do like the steer skull and chain camo."

To me left arm looks like SRM4. With RA PPC, RT LRM15, HD ML, LT LL and LA SRM4 it would result in 61 "firepower"
340XL engine for the speed, though i wonder what the max speed could be.

The items that make up a Hero Mech have absolutely zero barring on the MC cost. I've done the math and have a thread on how it all works.

oh okay, i thought it mattered to the price.

i'm still going with 6000 though. it has to be a decent amount more than the dragons right?

Please PGI, don't flood the game with gold mechs.

The hero mechs released thus far are hardly unbalanced or unfair. They gotta make money. I'm fine with them selling mechs at the prices they're selling them. Don't want to buy them? Don't... but don't be the douchebag that cries about it.
