Does the Rasalhauge Dominion need a Firemoth replacement.

As of the 3080s Firemoths have not been built.
The Firemoth served primarily as an Elemental taxi and scout. However the Domion operates a number of solid hover tanks which can serve in this role.

So. Do we need another Firemoth?

No. As you pointed out, the array of hovertanks available to the Dominion pretty well obsoletes the Fire Moth, especially given the proportion of tanks to 'Mechs in the modern era. The things that you need a 'Mech for in those roles was always really better covered by the more robust Viper anyway.

Proud owner of my first Ghost Bear Mechs and Elementals finally after years (Timber Wolf doesn't really count). I now have a Nova, Stooping Hawk, Kodiak, Bear Cub, Stormcrow, and 18 Elementals.

Although the Dominion doesn't produce the Dragonfly either...

With that being said, seconding the thoughts there. Hovertanks and VTOLs more then make up for any Dasher shortage. Besides which, the Dragonfly jumps, which gives it more options then the Dasher any day

yes but one is better then the other, Hovertanks and VTOLs can have more speed, and that can be safer

Can't we just buy Dasher 2's anyway? Not the same but at least you don't worry about as TT said, sliding into a no no spot and looking sheepish as your star col. Checks your blood alcohol level. Anyway id like to see the bears make a nice replacement for either the firemoth or viper..or.both!

Dasher 2s aren't omnis. And they are an insidious plan by the Sea Foxes to bankrupt the universe. And I don't think they have MASC.

Kojak is right, you guys produce the Ku II... a 10 cargo bay infantry transport.  If you were to say use 4 mechs and a Point of Ku II, you could make it a Nova easily. Points of Rouge Bear Hybrid, LRM Golem and a Point of Kobold IIC...

We do?  I was sure that was pure Horse.

Eldingar
Tyr

For recon
Donar  (Recon)
Odin (Recon)
Samash (Interdictor)
Various APCs.
And hilariously the Higgins APC when we grabbed Vega.

Crap forgot dasher2 wasn't omni. Honestly its not a bad mech. I typically dial down the laser power for some nasty backshots.
