Horizons Imagine if Elite dangerous and Mechwarrior had a love child?

In before traders just start dumping multi-crewed mech's as half-baked attempt at turret deployment.

Or improvised boarding maneuver... You decide.

Nar I just see mechs for planet side missions. Don't think they would work in deep space

well heres to hoping if they do realease mechs into elite it will be like this

yep i made the mistake of listening to the dev claims of how they were making a sim ect.......70 bucks im never getting back.

mwo was better in closed beta.
even with the wonky collision physics.

I honestly think they'd be better of just doing armoured levitating or tracked vehicles. Giant walking mechanoid would require development time to get the animations right and, technically, legs are a lot more vulnerable than traditional tracked or wheeled vehicles are. Levitating ones wouldn't have any (and would be stealthy if they base them off of the principle of the real-life EM drive, which has zero propellent emissions). My guess is that this is what 'skimmers' are meant to be representing.

Walking mechanoids look impressive, but are a bad choice for combat.

I don't know just think it would look cool if you went into a combat zone planetside with mechs, tanks ,hover tanks of all shapes and sizes fighting it out. Hopefully 2.4 could be down this line would kind of focus on the title of horizons!!
