Start in? The Timber Wolf of course.

Yeah, it's not really a starter Mech, but logically, having to spend time in any other Mech is just wasted effort since it'll be the Mech I'll be gaining all my MXP in.

Seems that we'll be starting in lower-tonnage chassis and have to earn some rank before we can get to the goodness (lucky for those who want to excel as light Mech pilots since they already start off and can put all their time into becoming a good Light chassis pilot)

You just choose chasis as an IS mechwarrior and advance through it (start in an Urbie, end in Raven - start in Mackie, end in Fafnir -> examples).

I would personally love to start with a MadCat or a Vulture.From light mechs I'd prefer Uller or Cougar

[Xen Wolf]

Wolfhound, Firestarter, or Jenner for IS lights. Kit Fox or Adder for Clans lights if we get those later. I would love to get my hands on a light with 2 ppc but I prefer to fly with the big boys in Heavy and Assault class mechs

[EmyLightsaber]

Light: Panther
Medium: Griffin or Cicada
Heavy: Catapult CPLT-C5A or Bombardier BMB-05A
Assault: Banshee BNC-3S

[Xen Wolf]

going old school i would want a thunderbolt or marauder for heavy or timberwolf or falconer for new school or even a savage wolf in the future. well i am also a fan of the rifleman or the archer thanks to Jaime wolf. Eh there is so many heavys to choose from.
Assault Battlemaster obviously cause Prince Hanse Davion whoop some a$$ in that. After that mostly the new school one like Warhammer IIC, Turkina, Sunder, Dire wolf, Warhawk .

I also want to comment on the fact that all these so loyal IS pilots want to pilot clan mech.

Tell me about it

[Vincent Vascaul]

I believe I have answered this before but

Wolfhound or Raven
Gladiator 5R Or Centurion
Hammerhands 6D
Cyclops! man I love that command mech. Also any of these variants would be great CP-10-Z (stock) CP-11-A 9 (Gauss No AC/20) CP-11-B (Dual Gauss slightly slower yes Please!) 1CP-11-C (Ok this is really the first choice for me Gauss with C3 its just beautiful!) CP-11-H ( A close quarters retrofit to be feared by all!)

Sorry I just cant go cheap or small, DAISHI/DIRE WOLF, in particular PROMETHEUS, Victor Davion's mech

I am glad you know that the Prometheus was Victor Davions Direwolf and not the microsoft made mech from Mech Assault.

Nah, it was a frankenmech from the Unbound scenario..........now I feel old.......

The Templar. /thread

On a serious note, it's the only mech that I enjoyed every aspect of. It's kind of soft for an Assault mech, but try to imagine people's faces when I barrel down on them at twice the average speed of one only to let loose with an assault laser to the cockpit... aaaaah, satisfaction.

[T0RC4ED]

Under the assumption we start in light mechs im going to say Urban mech, Osiris or Panther. Im leaning mostly on the trash can looking commando because it can pack a serious punch.

[Chuckie]

Urbie for city, Jenner anywhere else..

[HarrasRaganX]

If it is not an unseen mech Ragnarok for an Assault,Rajin or Fujin for Medium Choices ,and the Nexus Series for lights

The Templar is gonna take 13 years before it gets produced. You might wanna go for a Battlemaster or Zeus instead.

Sorry, but none of mechs will be available for the following reasons:
Ragnarok is not a canon mech
The Raijin won't see production for the next 3 years.
The Fujin isn't canon either.
The Nexus won't seen production for the next 5 years.

I would recommend a Devastator, it recently went into production and brings the pain to the enemy.
Jenner is a pretty decent alternative to the Raijin

[proktor]

in what kind of mech wil we start? can we choose one mech in whatever weightclass, and once you have chosen you cannot
chance back? in that case i would like to start in a thunderbolt.

[Duncan Jr Fischer]

Any mech, really)

[Peace Possum]

I'd like there to be a handful of starting mechs to choose from. Logical choices include the LCT-1V Locust, possibly with the option to upgrade to the LCT-1S model, which replaces the two Machine Guns with two SRM2s, the Panther, the Commando, the Jenner, and the UrbanMech.

I imagine some other weight classes would also be required, but I don't know the heavier "cheap" mechs very well. Ideally, any of the 'Mechs here could be ridden for your entire career, though obviously they'd need upgrading to stand up to the big nasties that people'd trade up to. In a proper BT/MW game, tonnage shouldn't be the only factor, and that seems to be how Piranha is handling this(thankfully).
