I like the DC variant of that Orion. Very nice command mech. The Wraith is so cheap because its weapons are so short range. Range is *expensive*. It is excellent at killing elementals because of 11 damage kicks. Love it for that
It's an oddball but I've always kinda had a fondness for the Anvil. It's tough little bully in the mold of the ostsol that wants to get close to you and then beat you apart with large pulse lasers.
The Wraith is so undercosted because both pulse and jump 7 cost significantly less BV than they should. It’s also a well designed mech that would be good regardless but the undercosting pushes into BV efficiency nightmare machine.
Purple Bird Strong! I love the Wraith, one of my favorite mechs in the era. As a Free Worlds player, I've also had a lot of success with the Marauder 3M for my 3025 Needs. While not able to do as much damage as the 3R, the extra heat sinks allows it to keep firing, longer and more consistently. When the Wraith isn't available, I've found myself with the Wolverine 6M. Some day I'm going to play the IlClan era with the Classic rules and test out the Juliano, Quasimodo and Eris.
The Orion has gotta be one of my all time favs. I bought the metal mini when I first started playing BT but unfortunately none of the pieces fit together at all and I ruined the mini. I know how to assemble metal minis better now but it still hurts thinking about it. He lives on as a terrain piece to remind me. 😭
Uziel UZL-8S is what I take when I should take a Wraith TR-1 but I don't want to take a Wraith TR-1. A pair of Spider SDR-9Ms are another option for Wraith, but not. Vspls are kinda cheesy.

Love content alined with the factions! Keep it up! Would love some discussion of signature weapons and how that works into much design.
This is awesome
Love me some Purple birb

Everyone brought up the Eris on the last year and was my first thought. I like good mobile mediums.
The Marik are the BEST! But simply some of the Marik are plain BETTER Marik than the other Marik! Long Live the Marik!
Immediate gut instinct is the Wraith.
I love this video concept!
Wraith is cheap because it is a knife fighter. I'm not 100% sure, but swaping to Clan tech bumps the price by 500-600.
What timing. My local is doing a "Marik civil war" event in December, restricted to marik in lostech time period.

I thought dumped ammo became a roll again
Empty ammo bins still count as a crit hit. AFAIK there isn't anything that changes how that works when you dump it.
Marik is the worst. Removing PPC's for Large Lasers makes them my least favorite faction to pick mechs from.
