Welcome to Gaia! ::

It really depends on the class, materials used and whatnot. Mech Warrior is something people take too serious.

As for the game, I thought that the new Mech Warrior was before the invasion of the Clans and as such, no Mad Cats or omni-mechs for that matter will be involved.

It's during the third Succession Wars, or just after I believe.. My sources say;

"Actually, the story starts just as Hanse Davion comes to power, so it is just, as you said, at the end of the Third, right at the beginning of what will become the Fourth Succession War."

He's a very reliable source, he's the maker of the game.

So I'm curious to see if there will be clanner tech at all. I mean, the Atlas will be making an appearance, and the Warhammer was there, and that third mech... It, was a clan mech wasn't it? I don't recall being able to identify it, but it's ugly like most Clan lights.

Alas no clan tech. the mechs were a Jenner (jumped on the building) Atlas Prime (Big @$$ mofo) And the Warhammer (Exploder). so we may not get to see many of our favorite mechs in this game but because its a full reboot of the franchise.... <.< >.> <.< i think we can expect (father sown the road of course pending sales etc.) a reboot of Mechwarrior 4 Vengence? Mercenaries? o_0

I don't know, when you're dealing with technology that is so much more advanced then our own. How hard is it to believe you can have armour and other things that are super light and super durable?

Or does that make too much sense too? I mean, that we could while populating hundreds of planets while having faster the light travel that we would find things that would blow our current ages minds?


Edit for Necron;

Hurr durr, I know the Atlas is inner-sphere and I know the Warhammer is inner sphere but the Jenner is a CLAN (Harhar, I was right, the Clanners only field ugly lights.) Mech.

the inner sphere has a Jenner as well! read your back story just a bit...

General Kerensky upon seeing the state of the star league and the massive war that was to follow (succession wars) took a full third of all the armies of the star league and set out to places unknown to protect and preserve humanity through the hellstorm that was about to ensue. so in closing the inner sphere sank into barbarism whilst the remnants of the star league that fled with Kerensky evolved their technology while the inner spheres stagnated

according to the Sarna.net battletech wiki the Jenner is an inner sphere refit aka Jenner IIC and not an original Clan design. it looks Clan ill give it that but with a Craptastic armament of 2 srm launches and 2 medium lasers (and if i remember right) and the option for a large laser and several machine guns. why use that when the Clan Uller Mounts a Clan EE-Large Laser, A Clan ER_Medium Laser and 2 Clan LRM5 launchers. and yes the Jenner has jump jets while the Uller doesn't but for sheer Firepower the Uller tops the Jenner

*Edit plus the time frame for the new game places it well before the clan invasion of the inner sphere so unless smith and tinker plan on royally screwing with the Battletech timeline then the Jenner you see is the *Inner sphere* version of it (till the clans attack) so if the game is a true mechwarrior game set before the clan incursion then there will be NO omni-mechs and NO clan tech what so ever. Sadly ill miss my Clan Gauss rifles emo
