I found some cool mechs that make for great ideas for possible MTAC types
Light: Fast, lightly armored, with light weapons, mostly for longer range scouting and harassment. Exoskeleton concept: here Minmatar maybe. Picture the pilot in the middle
Medium: Armored infantry support. can keep up with most vehicles Exoskeleton concept here Closed Cockpit concept: here Minmatar probably Exoskeleton Concept: Here Caldari?
Heavy: Slow movers. great at defending positions. Maybe have a turret mode? Closed Cockpit concept: here Definitely Gallente here Amarr |

There will be mechs. Its already confirmed. I for one love the idea. The game isnt going to become Mechwarrior or anything. Also most likely they will be some sort of power armor or exoskeleton. Not 15 ft metal behemoths |

Mostly because I have a fond, fond memory of BFR's in the original planetside, and how mechs just tip the balance of the game on it's head.
I don't really see the point. Heavy weaponry on the heavy suits. Anything beyond that is attached onto a vehicle like an LAV or HAV. |

It's been confirmed so many times it's not even funny. People shouldn't have to go looking for links just because you don't believe them. |

Your welcome. Just because you have trust issues doesn't mean we should have to do extra work.

"The first dust expansion should come out early 2013 and will include new environmental planets, MTAC's and gladiator arenas"
This was said at fanfest. Plans have obviously changed due to the length of the beta however. |

Has nothing to do with trust issues, you're being presumptuous. I just wanted to view the info myself, since frankly if I search MTAC or mech with dust 514, I get a crapton of people who say "we want it!!!" from a year ago.

We'll see. I can't think of a specific role that they'd play in the game, TBH, but we're still in Beta. If they find some great role for them, then I'll be all for it. |

I wasn't saying you are welcome. I was saying that is your welcome to the topic MTAC's |

Mechs have been planned from day 1, no way are they not going to be put in just because of a tiny minority of people who don't want them. |

Those are the same mechs. Those are Catapults and, no.
Think less Mechwarrior and more Aliens. |

I'm going to be rockin' the MTAC the day it's released onto the DUST market.
It's probably my most-anticipated addition to the game. |

I think it should require some heavy concessions to wearing it, such as the need to wear a pilot suit to drive one, limiting your combat abilities if you are shot out. MTACs would also have to be deployed via RDV.
In all, I am actually not to sure about human like vehicles in the game. They would have to fit some kind of specialized role, because otherwise you could just fit them into different roles like AV and AP and negate the purpose of dropsuits in the game.
Why take a Heavy when you can get a MTAC with several thousand more eHP and damage output, while being more manueverable? Its my worry that MTACs will become like a replacement for dropsuits because they are essentially filling the same role...
Bipedal walking tank > heavy dropsuit, is exactly the situation they should try to avoid. If they can fit railguns and blasters and such, then the point of the Heavy as a suit becomes moot.
CCP needs to tread carefully with MTACs. I would love to see a distinct, properly balanced MTAC class, but the possibility of making them useless or OP is a great one. |

Some of eve lore suggests they may be able to walk up walls. They will probably be slow, but able to go places hav's can't. Heavies should be able to go places mtac's can't, like inside buildings.
I guess the role will be ambush based. A fan fest video mentioned tearing a hav apart in melee, but if they only have light turrets they will be out maneuvered and outgunned in the open by vehicles. A light rail turret has less firepower then a forge, so a heavy could do more ranged damage to vehicles then a light turret armed mtac.
The heavy mtac in some of the concept pictures looked very slow and bulky, a alternate hav maybe. So, they might be better at getting up mountains and over obstacles then a tracked hav, but also harder to run away with when down on hp after ambush by av. |

You know what would be badass and crazy to see, a Mech running up to a tank and flipping it on its back.
lol.
I'm not sure if they're be big enough or strong enough to flip a tank, but it would be cool.
Mech Jetpack/boosters? Jump - Boost, latch onto a dropship and drag it to the ground .. wow, only imagine.
