...edgy teen writing a fan fiction unit...

Be honest. Can you name *any* facet of the Clans that doesn't fit into this category, especially anything written prior to 2000 or so?

STACKPOLE...

All of the other Falcon Galaxy paint schemes. :P

Epsilon is my go-to Falcon scheme as well because it's easy to paint. Though I have considered experimenting with some of the DA-style schemes

Apparently the Heirofalcon is an OmniMech and it's Prime config has a HAG/20

Things worth knowing

Weirdo · « **Reply #1025 on:** 14 July 2020, 07:09:07 »

I'm hoping for a fast assault, something along the lines of an updated, Falconlier Executioner or Gargoyle. We've got plenty of slow heavy hitters, I want something that can keep up with our Grand Summoners as well as our plethora of older fast Omnis.

I saw a suggestion it's a medium.

Guardian11 · « **Reply #1027 on:** 14 July 2020, 21:51:26 »

I speculated when I first saw the mention of the Heirofalcon in the Dominator description at the back of Divided We Fall that just as the IRL Heirofalcon is related to the Lanner and Gyrfalcon the same could be true of the Mech, which could mean that like the other two the Heirofalcon is 55 tons. The HAG20 kind of makes me wonder if it's a birdified, omnified, slimmed down Shadow Cat II.

Weirdo · « **Reply #1028 on:** 15 July 2020, 08:55:37 »

If it's a medium, I'm actually going to go the other way, and hope for a general-purpose combatant, a replacement for the Nova.

Sigma has another easy Falcon paint scheme (gray with some forest green) but I admit that Epsilon has more fitting one for Falcon galaxy. Sigma galaxy color scheme is closer to Wolf paint scheme than what is considered to be traditional Falcon color scheme.

The Hierofalcon is a very good Omni. I'm pretty sure it's the first outright Omni with a Partial Wing?

Weirdo · « **Reply #1031 on:** 17 July 2020, 16:36:19 »

I believe so.

Pour out a Fusionnaire, trothkin - the Summoner is no longer a Jade Falcon staple, and now only produced by the Horses. :'(

But the Grand Summoner (aka Thor II) is still made by the Falcons.

We still make Hellbringers, quiaff? ???

Weirdo · « **Reply #1034 on:** 17 July 2020, 16:46:04 »

Dunno...but still. The Thor has been a staple of the Jade Falcons for almost thirty years real-time. End of an era...

Jaim Magnus · « **Reply #1035 on:** 17 July 2020, 16:46:59 »

Things change. Things always change.

We're Jade Falcons. We shoot change. >:D

Mecha82 · « **Reply #1037 on:** 17 July 2020, 16:58:37 »

Well I say it's about time Summoner is no longer Jade Falcon staple. It was so long Jade Falcon staple that it made no sense.

rebs · « **Reply #1038 on:** 17 July 2020, 18:07:43 »

The Falcons not producing Summoners is like the Wolves without Timber Wolves...

Well the Heirofalcon is a medium but I still want this. We have too many 4/6 mechs for my taste.

Jellico · « **Reply #1041 on:** 17 July 2020, 19:35:33 »

So, with all the partial wing love... are the Falcons good enough to wear the penalties for permanently jumping.

Deadborder · « **Reply #1042 on:** 17 July 2020, 19:49:48 »

I'm just surprised that there's no Heirofalcon configuration with Talons

However, I'm not that bothered about the Falcons no longer building the Thor. The Thor II is equal or better in every way while still having the same theme and concepts

Jellico · « **Reply #1043 on:** 17 July 2020, 20:16:33 »

Depends if you can pod mount talons.

Mecha82 · « **Reply #1044 on:** 17 July 2020, 20:19:36 »

Talon pods eh? Now there is one really Falcon like idea.

You can. Amusingly, so far the only 'Mech to do such is the Sarath

Uh, what exactly do you call a Shrike, if it's not something that fits all of these criteria?

If so, I think that's a sad degeneration. There is a reason people keep going back to 3025 and 3050.

Classic designs > wing shard nonsense et al.

Should have clarified: I'm hoping for an Omni that fits those criteria.

Don't worry, it's not because of flappy bird shenanigans, but because they prefer the undeniably superior Thor II.
