So still there are some Chassis with no Hero.Version. Which one(s)+kind of Weaponslots would you like to be introduced in the near future? Personally I wish: [list type=decimal] [*]Catapult "The Plague" [1x Ballistic (RT), 4x Energy (CT+LT+LA+RA), 2x JJ, ECM, AMS, Engine max 325] [*]Hunchback "Death Wish" [2x Ballistic (LT+RT), 3x Energy (Head+2xCT), AMS, Engine max 300] [*]Quickdraw "Bounty Hunter" [2x Ballistic (RT), 4x Energy (2xCT+LA+RA), 5x JJ, AMS, Engine max 375] [/list] Blagg
Personally i want paladin Jonah Levin's Atlas for a hero. Hes a Dark Age hero, but just maybe the mech could be found somewhere and salvegable or something. http://www.deviantart.com/art/Atlas-Solitude-369379066
I would definitely love to see a hero Catapult. I envision half a K2 welded to a C1 : Left Arm: 1E Left Torso: 1E + 1B Center Torso: 1E Right Torso: 1E Right Arm: 1M (15 or 20) Max engine upgrade to 340 to keep up with the Firebrand, 2 or 4 JJ In regards to "The Plague" I think putting ECM on a jump capable heavy might be a little optimistic.
All damn good choices. I would like to see something in the form of a light mech hero, something like a spider or a raven. I would say Jenner too but the standard ones are great as it is, unless they give us the ECM version. An atlas would be nice too, that or a trebuchet.
They probably wont make a Jenner, Hunchback, Catapult or Atlas hero lest the few founders that remain get up in arms. I'd like to see a Blackjack or Spider hero. Because, seriously, I wouldn't be caught dead in the 5K... well I would be caught dead, and with great frequency... which is why I don't want to pilot it.
I think if anything needs a hero mech, it's going to be the lights. there are 3 medium hero mechs, the Wang and the x5 and the golden boy, but the assault also have 2, the Misery and the Heavy Metal. the Heavies have 4 hero's, but the lights only have 1, which is the DK. I suspect a raven or spider variant could be in the works, but a hero Jenner is not out of the question.
The Golden Boy is one hero that is worse than the non-hero variants. As for Heavy, Fang is no better. The regular 1C can do things better if not the same. The only cool thing about it is the paintjob, but now with the Hero mech paintjob customizable you mind as well get Flame, which is the same when it comes to paintjob but only way better in terms of ability.
This is not a debate on if the hero is better than the standards or not, it is a suggestion for new heros. And I would love to see a new hero light, an ECM spider hero would be great. I would say model it along the lines of the 5K, but instead of ballistics, it has missile hardpoints in the arms, 2 or 4 tubes on each arm, and 1 hardpoint per arm.
So you wish a Hero.Spider? Nice i like! My suggestion: Spider "Black Widow" [2x Energy (CT), 1x Ballistic (RA), 2x Missile (LA+RA), 8x JJ, AMS, Engine max 255 (275?!)] I think ECM would make it too OP, dont you think?
About the lack of light hero mechs, the reason is obvious: for several months heros are now previews of incoming mechs (something I really dislike, tbh) and no light mech was released recently.
Seeing the new sales scheme: 1.Week: Hero Mech - 2.Week: Standard with MC- 3.Week: Standard with C-Bills.. i gues every new Mech gets a Hero version.. meaning, there will be a Hero Flea .D
