After seeing this, http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KC5AvLVlP_Y/T3HolAZXZAI/AAAAAAAABLc/mTYwXTBp19I/s640/mtac.jpgI am very excited that mtacs are coming for the first expansion! I consider them superheavy classes using light turrets as weapons. Here what I think how mtacs would look on each race.

These are example what I think they would look like. But im gonna spec on my mtac skills once they are released! |

Anyways the Amarr one in the OP was a dust 514 fan contest entry and is drawn as such.
Anyways dug around and here is some of my thoughts on inspiring MTAC designs if I had to design them.
Anyways my vision of a minmatar one
http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/07/4_04.jpg
Rust included
Or this one
http://im.tech2.in.com/images/2010/apr/img_214742_mech_suit.jpg
Its Sharky enough.
Maybe needs to look more spare partish
http://digital-art-gallery.com/oid/52/640x339_9983_4walker_3d_sci_fi_robot_mech_picture_image_digital_art.jpg
Caldari MTACs would be easy.

There is still no strategic use for mechs or "mtacs". If your reason for having mechs is "ooooooooooooh shiny", or you just want it to be an insanely overpowered and costly tank, then they shouldn't be implemented in the game. |

High mobility/agility Anti-HAV and infantry support platform. An MTAC would be able to flip your tank over and melee it to death. |

Then make it a vehicle and not a mech. Making it into a mech is just pointless, will make the controls most likely more annoying, and make it a giant glittery target for the other team.
It still doesn't make sense. |

why will that controls be complicated? if the mtac is bipedal (two legs) it'll handle like infantry... i happen to like shiny targets. |

I want to see MTACs equipped with giant Nova Knives.

Besides the fact that infantry are already stupidly unwieldy over uneven terrain in this game, assuming controlling your character will eventually be fixed, it will still be incredibly unwieldy having larger surfaces of contact over uneven terrain. I can see the MTAC bouncing up and down over and over again wildly like a jack in the box over small hills now... |

Well from what I understand from all the notes and sorts from Fanfests their place is mostly killing tanks but tanks will be used to be something to kill other things with such as structures and vehicles at range. They are however the MTACs maintains some of the highest agility and mobility.
It would not surprise me if an MTAC had infantry controls. |

Speccing into anything other than LAVs is stupid. Tanks are the biggest, baddest things on the battlefield, or are supposed to be, and one proto forge can hold 6 of them in the redline if he's in a good position. These things will be lightly armored like lavs and slow like HAVs. Don't think they'll be any good, and if they are, theyll get nerfed right away. |

Says who?
Personally, I think tanks are mostly throwbacks to WW2, aren't really aren't all that effective much on a modern battlefield. They are quickly being out firepowered by a multitude of aircraft, and are mostly left with their first role - soldier escort/support.
Now I do agree though, that MTACs, assuming they'll even be military, will likely be paper thin and weak. Who knows though, CCP can whatever they want with them. |

I can think of one good strategic use for the MTACS.

The mtac is was drew me to dust.
I play a lot of battletech and pretty sure I would have melted my armored core games if life hadn't gotten in the way...
I don't care how I have to change my playstyle when they come I will pilot them... if I have to sell my sould to socksfour I will have my giant robodude...
I just hope they kick for a melee attack... wander into the horde of reds and play clone goo soccer...
When they come I will be happy... and in about 3mil sp I'm just going to start hoarding mah sps for them...
