A quick post to show you a screen shot with the new loyalty centurion sporting a dual AC5 configuration. All centurions will enjoy this new mechlab treatment.

I also wanted to let you know about a known scaling issue before the mech goes live. The dual AC 5 and other builds look great as you can see - however when sporting an AC20 the scaling is MUCH to small, we are aware of it and plan to make some changes.

That shield arm looks pretty sweet. I'm glad I got that Champion Cent a while back as a reward for one of the challenges - I had never grinded them out, and that'll make getting this baby leveled up a bit easier :)

Just noticed though - no missile bay doors on the LT missile pod - are the Bay Doors going away for Cents in general?

Shield. SHIELD. SHIELD!!!!

If the Centurion shield arm and torso twist doesn't get armor quirks I will be the SADDEST of badgers.

I miss advancing sideways with extra armor in front of me...true Centurion style :D

Well, actually... it already got one a number of patches ago.

+10 armor to the shield arm (it's not for internal armor, it's for external).

You can test this by stripping the left arm armor and you can see in testing grounds that it still has armors.

Awesome looking skin on that AH!

Glad to see you guys giving some love to the old centurions as well with visual customization.

Nice work!

I am one that gave up on the champion cent almost as soon as I was given it through the challenge. I sold it off, and I only got two of the basics unlocked. That was before they fixed the srm hit reg. The last few days I went ahead and bought two of the cents for c-bills, and have grinded them out waiting for this version to be given to us.

I am so looking forward to getting this one, now that the srm issue is fixed, I am loving them. Just also decided to pick up my first Griffin for c-bills, and working on grinding those out too.

Good times, can't wait!

It also looks as if they have removed the door cover on the missile bays, which if they did that would be great for me I guess. I don't know how many times I double tap my micro button programed to open the bays up so no delay on the fire of them. It would be nice if they are put back on for some way to know you have them open when you open them or close them. Maybe bitchin Betty says, "missile pod door open" or "missile pod door closed" :-)

I am worried how the right arm looks like with a mounted AC/20

Don´t touch my Wang !

But good job on the shield arm.

While a part of me cry tears of sorrow for the loss of the "club" arm, It looks about as i was expecting.

Russ... If at any point you look back in to custom geometry as a vanity item... That would be high on my list for things to get back. =)


Edit: also the more i look at it... the more i feel "screw the -AH, i want that skin on all my cents"

Yeah, but it was my understanding that all previous quirks are being replaced.

Looks tiny hence why I stated it so above - AC 20 looks like one of those AC5's but a little bigger around - not big enough we know

But you know were going to do something with that Left arm

I think it's a realistic situation where a form of the quirk will be retained for the Centurion. I mean.... I'd like that shield arm to have some value.
