I have read these posts over the past few days and, as other merchs in this forum, I have though "We area already wearing Mech suits." and "Why?"

Then, reading some of the comments (and seeing the artists rendering) I began to see a potential tactical niche.

My "eyes have been opened" and I am now kind of interested to see them in game, and I am willing to give them a chance.

Thanks for keeping the horizons open my fellow mercs, with your great ideas, I know my family and I have years of gaming enjoyment ahead of us.]]> Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:26:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/933194 <![CDATA[What are the chances we could get mechs? - by Bad Heal]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1198277#post1198277

I would not get my hopes up for a LONG LONG time. Content has taken the back seat and MTACS were already in the back of the line when it comes to new content.

I give it at least 1.5yrs... if ever.]]> Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:50:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/929154 <![CDATA[What are the chances we could get mechs? - by Breakin Stuff]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1198046#post1198046 ADAM-OF-EVE wrote:

purpose...


their purpose is to give us large, humanoid walkers that not only look cool, but I get to blow to tiny fragments with a forge gun.

It's like shooting another heavy only he's twelve feet tall with a hitbox the size of a madrugar.

The purpose of the MTAC is to explode for my pleasure.]]> Tue, 20 Aug 2013 09:57:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/928943 <![CDATA[What are the chances we could get mechs? - by ladwar]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1197933#post1197933 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:44:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/928860 <![CDATA[What are the chances we could get mechs? - by Minako Nakajima]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1197931#post1197931

imo there is a perfect balance between the number of vehicles,AV mercs, and other ground units at the moment meaning there isn't really a need for these


Correction: Mech's are only as powerful as the size they are, if anything they'd only be able to use Small Turrets and possibly have the same or close to the same armour or shields as a common tank, furthermore most/many Mech's are 1 seaters and are slower than a tank in the game they are portrayed in... Section 8 and Section 8 Prejudice portrayed them as such, so in the latter tanks wont lose they're place, but less tanks and LAVs would be brought in. (Since people are **** sh*t shots). However i'm amazed somebody even referenced Armored Core. (Dont comment on the last sentence as it will be ignored).

I feel like they will be a sizable investment though and will as you said bridge the gap.... however I see them as a more niche vehicle..

Eventually I forsee maps and scenarios for us to play on where I feel tanks are not viable, ship actions and what not, and consequently maps where I see infantry being pretty much useless with multilayer and massive maps and larger more complex and well defended sockets.]]> Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:20:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/928839 <![CDATA[What are the chances we could get mechs? - by Zan Azikuchi]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1197883#post1197883 ADAM-OF-EVE wrote:

Also make them isk expensive if you make it cost isk nit every one will run it because they can't afford to thsts how tanks and ds are
also imagine the mimnatar one.
