What post release mechs are you looking forward too?

One thing to keep in mind with the crab is that the tweaks to heat change its performance profile. It's built to soak the heat from its large lasers (16 heat, 16 heat sinks) In HBS BT, it won't manage that, at least according to the two week old video with mechlab screenshots. It will generate 60 heat and soak 48. (Worse if you add in the medium and small lasers). It also has little free tonnage, so isn't very customizable

While this is a good thing for people worried about laser boats, a couple stock energy heavy designs are worse as a result.

It requires you to swap out an LL for the ML to cool off more often than in TT, which does lower its effectiveness but I think it would still be a good mech.

The Mackie. First true battlemech. For research.

What post release Mech am I most looking forward to?

The Hatchetman... and it seems there is a solid HBS cadre that shares this same hope!

And while PGI has not modeled it, there is hope HBS will cut their teeth on designing their own Mech Data with the Hatchetman itself. HOPE springs eternal it seems! : )

Is there really any other answer?

Literally the only mechs im looking forward to getting back are the 2 that are out......

The rest are later in the lore, like the Mauler, comes in what? 3049 as the Dobaku or some crap..

Yes, I know it's out of scope for the current game. Yes, I know it's filthy clantech. But the MadCat is BattleTech to me. Every since that terrible VGA-DOS game with the Vulture and the MadCat in a maze.
