    1/ the mech is getting nice SRM4 quirks, and I love lights with SRMs;
    2/ the mech is on -50% sale at the moment;
    3/ the mech is forking gorgeous.

    So I'm seriously reconsidering buying it, despite the fact I'm not the biggest Raven aficionado and I don't think it will be any better than my dear Oxide.
    What do you think?

    If you buy it at 50% off, your only 50% of an idiot.

    Yeah, gotta agree... I'm a Raven jock and even I look at the Huggin and go "No thanks".

    What are you doing guys? I open this thread so you encourage me to buy this thing and then I have someone else than myself to blame for how a bad decision it was, but look what you did! You actually recommend not buying it!

    I guess I have to thank you for your most precious advice :shy:

    And the Camo is EPIC when using PURPLE.

    NARCing with a hero bonus can't be bad, either. And all the LRM trolling and crit seeking with quad MGs possible.:thumbsup:

    Come on, you want it. You need it! It's like me and the Fang... ^_^

    I look at the Huggin like I would if Kate Beckinsale had some sort of STD; you really wanna tap that but you aren't quite sure if you are gonna get stung. In the end, you take a deep breath, wrap it and hit it.

    I'm just sayin'.

    Buy it if you want to LOL

    The camo is already epic by default, but yep, purple makes it glorious:

    Not sure I would waste tonnage on a NARC, I already have the -3L for this and the Huginn is already short on damage potential. I would go for something like this:

    Decide by the Looks (Camo etc) not by the Hardpoints. Just like i did with the Resistance Pack. :D

    That 50% idiot comment by Vergere is golden.

    Hypothetically speaking here but which STD would Kate have? If it was treatable with normal antibiotics I would just have to take my chances like the old used up Sailor I am.

    Even though I have not played MWO in a couple of months I am considering buying the Hugie just to run one of the LRM builds when I start playing again. Something about at the start of a match asking in general chat for people to hold locks for the LRM boat while running the Hugie makes me smile.

    The bonus would be that at 50% off I would only be 50% of an idiot for buying it.

    On a sidenote: LRM Damage getting nerfed from 1.1 down to 1.0. Not much but you should keep in mind. ;)

    It's fun...but I only bought it because of an earlier sale and had the mechbay. Being a light (and therefore only like $4-5), I would say it's absolutely worth it to have a gorgeous if ammo-dependent mech so long as you yourself will enjoy playing it. So now you have someone to blame if you do :p

    TBH I always question the sanity of Huginn pilots. They are voluntarily signing up for all of the weaknesses of a Raven (bad hitboxes, big legs, etc) to give up the glorious ECM that the 3L carts into combat. And it never works either...even with the quirks, I just can't see a Huginn as making me even the slightest bit hesitant to engage in my Ember or Jenner...or anything else that I run for that matter. ;)

    After a fierce inner struggle opposing reason and urge, there is no turning back: I bought the damn thing! :oops:
    Untested yet, I will wait for the quirks to be active before I drop on this mech. I'll keep you inform on my sanity and on the performances of the mech.

    Epikt, the question of your sanity was resolved long before this... ;)
