You guys have fun out there   and let the speculation begin anew...

If they were trolling you'd have seen "IS_UrbanmechPrime" ...

this needs to happen, and a server needs to dedicate itself to Urban Jungle and only allow Urbanmechs

And change the teams to 'Pirates' and 'Ninjas' with appropriate costumes for the Urbies.

Pegleg Urbanmech ftw.

fapp yeah Black Lanner.

Do also remember, those Daishi variants aren't the ones that will actually be going in, they're not even done yet (the same is true for every other unreleased mech).  The Daishi ones are the product of myself and Vlaad fapping around, which is obligatory when you have a new mech to play with, even if it is only half done.

If the Black Lanner goes in with the scouting packages, the dev team may have just won my undying gratitude.... tonnage/cbill saving (asset selection mode restriction dependant) is always a big win in my book.

I wonder what the Black Lanner will look like in MWLL . Its art differs a lot and often looks very similar to the Vulture.

Now there's and unflattering picture if I've ever seen one...

I'm figuring something like this, with a bit more beef on that arm.

I just hope they actually give the Dire Wolf enough heatsinks... we seem to have a serious problem of many Clan mechs being broken by the heat system. Especially some of these variants that carry LPLs.

[~SJ~ Xarg Talasko]

Yes and no. Partially broken because of the missing 5dhs on the engine, and partially because people just fire everything the second it's ready, and eventually even coolant can't save you anymore

This game is too often a game of alpha striking. It makes me sad. I almost never have a group for alpha strike.

......... and partially because people just fire everything the second it's ready, and eventually even coolant can't save you anymore

That's a symptom of high levels of free coolant more than anything else.

Without coolant people soon learn to chain-fire after a half dozen shutdowns (which was something positive to take from the recent Haarp debacle, we got to test what MWLL would be like with no coolant and it was good).  Even with a 1-3 tap "get-out-of-jail-free" coolant shot (something I don't see the need for but which Invictus and others have argued for) you'd still be only good for a few alphas....which is definately going to be better than nothing (although it makes you "couple-of-flushes" guys sound like coolant-junkies ).

If I have one disappointment from 0.5.2 (and I have sooo many positives) it's that the Devs planned changes to the Heat/Coolant System (C-Pods were mentioned) did not make it into this patch *crosses fingers for the next patch*


On Topic:  MW4 ruined the Daishi for me (And I loved it in MW3 as it was a F-You statement to the pilots hiding behind 130kph 'mechs and a 2s lag-shield, it was like beating them one-handed due to the massive disadvantage  ), after felling Daishi after Daishi (quite literally thousands of them) in a Mauler/Sunder/Hellspawn etc. in MW4, the Daishi/Dire Wolf for me now is the poster boy for dull, repetitive, frankenmechs; "Career Daishi Pilot" was a term I reserved as an insult back then.

Hopefully MWLLs pods and planned heat system changes will take some of the lactose out of the Daishi (the price if anything else will make it uncommon at least), and I'll be able to enjoy the Daishi once again *fingers crossed*.
