    I'm not sure it will...no MASC, so it still won't have Jenner/Firestarter speeds :(

    I think I'll bite it and go for the Executioner package this evening. Final nail was the inclusion of nearly half a year of Premium Time, which I didn't realise at first. There are probably 8 free mech baysas well for me because I rarely keep more than two mechs / variants of a single chassis.

    On top of this, getting the 3 reward mechs for a second time allows me to do keep different builds on them ready to go, which I think is especially nice on the KGC with it's sweet quirks.

    Reading up on the Ebon Jaguar, it is believed to have as much free pod space and tonnange as a Timberwolf, with a few tones of armor and two heatsinks less.

    That will be a beastly 65T mech if that turns out to be true.

    Edit:

    Obviously the above is conjecture, but math goons suggest it to be so.

    + clan XL engine survivability, humanoid hitboxes and double heat sinks....

    It will be a vicious mech.

    Finally picked it up last night... I'll just grit my teeth and struggle through the executioner.

    16 clan mechs and all the extra's, if bought by the end of today, for $120 is great value.

    Just bought my Shadow Cat/Arctic Cheetah pack! I'm pumped! (Which is pretty impressive since I usually hate these scummy canister-born bastards)

    I'd love to think the Ebon Jag is worth it. I loved it in BT and love the look of the concept art - but, the loadouts seem too easily done with mechs I already own to spend another $30USD... It's a mini-Timber without JJs or a Hellbringer with better geometry... I'll just wait for C-Bill sales.

    You're right! It's 150 days of premium time for early adopters. Wow, didn't realize it at first either...

    Hell, you get two months just for buying the 2nd tier pack... Not too shabby for early adopters!

    It does tweak me a bit that they charge more for the Clan mechs on preorder than the IS. The Resistance mechs are $10 per chassis less!!! That's a pretty damn significant increase...

    Ummh if you buy the 12 mech pack its $10 each... plus 4 extra mechs aka 16 if you buy by today aka an insane $7.5 per mech.

    They're also a lot better than the Resistance mechs imo. ;)

    Very true! However, the 4 extra mechs are only for Early Adopters. Otherwise, you're getting three mechs per teir (same as Resistance) for $10 more per tier. Damn filthy clanners!

    I won't bother with Wave 3 at all if only the Resistence Pack mechs had an acceptable power level. Only thing outstanding for me atm are the Panther's borked hit boxes.

    But the way it is the current IS pack is no match for Clan Wave 3.

    The best justification I can come up with is that the Clan mechs are a lot more versatile than the Resistance ones since they can switch around their omnipods as they desire. Resistance you're stuck with your hardpoint locations, but Clan you can always swap them around to a certain extent.

    The omnipods aren't exactly expensive. If you want the 7E arm on the executioner, you can just as well buy that after release. 30days of premium time is likely much more worth it.

    Correct, as buyers will be able to see all the concepts.
