New Hero Mech Sighting: The Jester

​

Just taking a quick glance over the in game mech - what I see so far:

2 AMS
6 Laser Hadpoints

Thoughts on this battlemech?
Should be 4875 MC (75*65)

 

Just that the mech pictured above is piloted by none other than....

 

If that thing has jump jets, it is ON!

 

Shut up and take my MC

 

Yeap, if this thing jumps, I will definitely be picking it up.

 

ow, again a Double AMS Mech?

Full Energy Boat? If it has Jumpjets, i smell a new OP-Jumpsniper!

 

Want it..... need it. Oh my that MC goes fast! :whacko:

 

I need a direct deposit for my paychecks into MWO

 

No thanks, it needs a new paintjob and way too many heatsinks for my taste. I run hot on 2 PPCS with 18 DHS, or on 2 ERLAS with 21 SHs because many maps are the "hotter 'n hell" kind - the amount of heat sinks required to just stay in the fight is beyond mockery. Plus, I won't buy anything else before I see a turn for the better, generally speaking.

That's SC for me. I started lying at people about how many ships I pledged, I really need to keep a tight grip on my wallet

 

Does she wear those glasses when she's piloting it?
My wife gave me a demure look when I told her that females played this... I don't think she believed me.

 

They do!!!! Look at one of the female players from the Launch Party and there are a few female players who are members of rather well known units also play.

 

Even if it has 6 energy hardpoints 2 of them would be on the CT, which means at best 1 LLas or two MLas for that. You can already do a 3x LLas or dual PPC build on the C1.
JJ would be great though.

Oh the paintjob is nice, at least the pattern is. You just have to give it the "proper colors" to turn it back to the rightful purple and pink cat... keep the purple, swap in to replace the lime with white, and add pink. Soon you would be down the rabbit ho with that liddle girl.

Like this setup sorta?

God, that thing is hideous! However, a K2 w/ JJs is intriguing.

 

amazing mech...horrible paint...i know the first thing im doing when i get one...

 

Does it come with a Mini Cooper, a little dog that does tricks, and a dozen clowns? That paint job in the pic looks horrible, in game it might be better but I doubt it.

I'm fairly excited about this one even with that paint job. With 6 energy hard points I will run 2 high mounted ERPPC/PPC with 4 MLas or 4 SMPLas.

Realism time. If this thing has 6 energy hard points it will run hot, like Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis shower scene kinda hot. If it has jump jets and double AMS that will cut deep into the heat sinks. Jumping will make or break this one.

While being fairly excited about this one I'm trying to temper my excitement with realism.

 

That really all depends on how many energy hardpoints are in the arms, and the maximum number of Jump Jets.

 

Not enough purple.

 

looks like 2x Arms, 2x Sidetorsos, 2x CT. It's a crossover of K2 & C1. Jumpjets could be as usual 4x

​

 

What runs hot?

This is why it needs JJ.... It better not be a nerfed version of the Firebrand.

 

Hmm, the Firebrand profile is very good to match the Jester, with the difference that two of the Energyhardpoints are in the CT. I would do something like this to make the Jester be the new OP-Jumpsniper:

two tons+critslots are left for Jumpjets. Voilà the new Thundercat for Soy.
