#MECHCOMMANDER 2 OMNITECH WONT START MOD#

Right now I'm trying to establish which factions use which 'Mechs. You mentioned a couple of other things I've been wondering about. While they all certainly bear many crucial design similarities, they are aesthetically not close enough for me to be comfortable adding them. I looked at the other 'Mechs you mentioned. Maybe you can purchase one in the solo missions, otherwise you probably won't see one. Things like the Daboku and Atlas II I'm just including for completeness.

Even if we say Smoke Jaguar would never have one anyway, I want the salvage of a Mad Cat to feel special, I don't want some IS knockoff for sale earlier in the campaign. The rest is insignificant.Д¬onversely for the Rakshasa I don't want players going, 'Oh shit, it's a Mad Cat' focusing fire on it while worse targets don't take damage. You could say the Hollander faces the same issue but really, 35 ton or 45 ton, you're only concerned about that Gauss. Now suddenly though it's hitting like a 45 ton 'Mech packing all sorts of nasties. It's only got a few flamers which without heat mechanics in MCG, aren't going to be much of a threat. When you see a base Firestarter running at you, you know that it isn't going to be much of a challenge. One of the key things I wanted to consider when adding new 'Mechs was, 'can the player identify a 'Mech's relative threat from visuals alone?' For most of the above 'Mechs the answer is yes, but crucially for the Firestarter and Rakshasa I think no. I was discussing it on discord with someone so I've thought about things a little more than when I posted here. The classic Trenchbucket would be a common Mech and a good reuse of Centurion art I think. House Davion would've sent several of these on this operation. Rakshasa is explicitly an attempt to clone the MadCat, I think reusing the art is fine and it'd be a good addition. Jagermech 3 would've just started production, so maybe one or two available. Hollander should be available from Battalion Alt configs R and X both look like they were made for MCG. Maybe the Smoke Jaguars have one or two.ДЇirestarter Omni production started in 3056, so it should be available from battalion with some rarity and expense. If that's the timeframe.ДЄtlas II is a museum piece, exactly one appeared in the largest collection of Clan Mechs ever assembled.Д¬ommando IIC would be awesome with 9 Clan SRMs and 2 Clan ER lasers, and fits well as a Clan garrison unit.Дaboku was a near instant failure and replaced by the Mauler, so would be a Mauler variant if ti showed up at all.ДЇire Falcons were just starting to make appearances in the IS, with the Jade Falcons. Trebuchet - Maybe, one I definitely want your feedback onДepends on when you're planning your mod's campaign to be. Rakshasa - Mad Cat is too iconic, reusing the assets I think is a bad idea JagerMech III - Arms look too different from the closeups, maybe okay in gameplay Hollander - As far as I can tell the Hollander II is the same, just more armour The closeups are where you'll see a lot of the differences, in game I think you'll barely be able to tell some of them apart.Д¬ommando IIC - I'm definitely in favour of this oneДaboku - Again, near identical to the Mauler as far as I can tellДЇire Falcon - Stiletto is actually called Fire Falcon in the files, another definiteДЇS9-O - A 10 ton increase, I don't think it is close enough, do you? Trebuchet (50 ton, using Centurion model)ДЇirst of all, I'm planning on doing new Mechbay art for all the new 'Mechs.

JagerMech III (65 ton, using JagerMech model) Hollander (35 ton, using Hollander II model) Which of the following do you believe bares a close enough resemblance to existing vehicles that I can add them to the game without creating new assets?Д¬ommando IIC (25 ton, using Commando model)ДЇire Falcon (25 ton, using Stiletto model)ДЇirestarter OmniMech (45 ton, using Firestarter model) I've plans to do all canon variants that fit the timeline but I've also been looking for any 'Mechs that can share assets with existing ones.
