Enjoy!

Looks good, but is there a reason we can't expand the pics?  Or do you just want to keep the variant lists unknown 'til release?

Either way, can't wait(but will), and thanks for all the great work guys. 

Oh, it's just the Asp pic that doesn't let you expand.  4xLBX20?  That is gonna be mean, my money is on the Faf, all the way!

[cowcaster]

They expand ok for me? Maybe they got edited real quick. In any case the Asps all look terrifying in terms of firepower, and the reveal of the addition of Improved Heavy Gauss for the Fafnir too.

Yeah, fixed now.  Those Blood Asp variants look like more fun than the Faf's, this is gonna be HUGE!!!

[SquareSphere }12thVR{]

uh wow, that's some massive fire power! Faf scares me and the Blasp looks to be the new novacat

[Mekabuser=12thVR=]

Jesus, theyre the Critkeepers.

[RDL_Vitos]

It is delightful, we wait!

[Deathmancer]

I love all of those no bullshit fafnir loadouts! small x pulse? fapp yeah! 4 mguns? fapp yeah! 4 lbx20? fapp YEAH!!!
Don't misunderstand me i love mguns and small x pulse. im still waiting for my 16 mgun mech.

As for the blood asp some of them bother me....

Would it be possible to add an F variant with 4x CUAC 10?

And a G variant with 8X Flamers, 2X CUAC20, remaining space crammed with DHS.

[Waffnuffly]

Oh my GOD the Fafnir E

[Edit] Blood Asp C!!! YES!!!

We are putting the finishing touches on MechWarrior: Living Legends 0.5.4 public open beta and expect to release within the next few days.

I called it!

Going to be fun steam rolling MK2s in the IS "Beatstick."

Edit: And, I'm still betting that the map these mechs are posing on is the new Clearcut. I'm interested in the pricing adjustments with the addition of these power houses to the selection list. I'm wondering if this mech will break the 200k ceiling that the fbomb shiva scratches?

[Steelbarrage]

I had the same idea as bobby that we are going to get revised clearcut.
Also the new variants all look well thought out.
The Fafnir C makes sense giving an infighter lams rather than some of the more cheesy long range variants of old having lams. 
The asp looks like it will be great as long as it doesn't lose pods like a nova.
The Fafnir E is going to be an interesting experience for people who never enjoyed the MK2 beatstick in .2 on the infamous bridge of doom on thunder rift.

Am I the first person to notice the Fafnir D being equipped with MASC? Mother of God.

I'm disappointed though that a FNR-5B variant (Gauss, ERLBL, ERMBL) didn't make it into the lineup though.

I have nothing against the old version of this map. At least earlier it constantly played and played much. The manager of our server can confirm it. The notice on this map of the old version.

Please, if it probably return the old version of this map. And it will be perceived as other part these vaults on one planet.

Yep, I definately missed that. It'll probably burst into flames before hitting top speed though lol. I think it'll be more of a side stepping measure more than anything else really. But I could be wrong.

[Romeox]

hmm, i m a little dissapointed about the Blasp . . . There is no brawling variant with UAC20 . . .

anyway, good job devs, thank you ; D
