![]() But again, THE MECH IS JUST SOOO UGLY!!! I've debated over HOW they would do a cosmetic make up for this thing, but seriously, I want NEW mech's. I'm not saying that the idea wouldn't have some value. ![]() Sorry to say guys, but I'm right about it being obsolete, Built in 2743, and the current time line is about 3015. Comstar are the reason several designs came back because they maintained a store of Star League equipment to fight the clans on Tukkayid. Entire production complexes built specifically for certain chassis's where destroyed and the the people who knew how to build these 'mechs were either killed or the designs where lost to time. Remember the Inner Sphere isn't the high tech gleaming paradise it once was. Consider that the Orion is freaking ancient and was around during the same period as the Crab and King Crab the arguement just doesn't make sense Shadow. I am interested though, could please link this lore you reference? Considering the fact Hammerswarm pointed out, mentions that production on these designs started up again in 3050 because of the rediscovery of Lostech would suggest that they are not out-dated at all. So the remaining Crab and King variants that had Lostech probably either ended up going with the Exodus forces or being left in Brian Caches for later use. TRO 3025 has 'mechs that were around during the Star League if not all of them so how does this logic work exactly? The Star League era designs such as the Crab and King Crab fell out of use not because of their supposed obsolescence, it was because the tech used in them (XL engines, ER large lasers, CASE etc.) became extremely rare and producing that tech became impossible after the numerous Succession wars.Ĭouple this with the fact that the Star League or House Cameron didn't give out their improved versions of exisiting designs to the other houses willly nilly. Out of date? Old designs? Sorry Knightshadowsong but by that definition virtually every 'mech in the Inner Sphere isn't worth using by the great houses. Two unfilled roles, two mechs perfect for those roles. Unlike a jager with limited ammo that has to make itself vulnerable by lessening armor and using an XL to have 2x AC 20s the King crab wouldn't need to make those sacrifices, but would be an even bigger target for mediums and lights. It'd be 100 tons of armor and death waiting for you around every corner. ![]() A king crab is a jager's natural predator after all.
