Makes it more consistent with the other models. Want to see narrow PPCs, look at the one on the Shadowhawk. Thinner than an AC/2 barrel.

I wasn't happy but honestly it's consistent with many others. The alternative is to make them huge on other mechs. Blackjack's still too small with them.

I do apologize, MWO has been sorta hard to hold my attention long lately, mostly due to a lack of any real meat to the game. But, I just had an amazing pug photo opp. I hope you guys enjoy this.

This pic in no way does justice to the topic but just saw it when browsing through my MWO pix folder:



It was one of those rare moments when after contact telling your team you have company, you actually manage to overwhelm a superior enemy and still report back.

Was going to say your host was having some issues last night but they were fine again before that time you mentioned them.

Kon, Lordred, Mr. White and MenaceX here as I change the famous AC/20 Raven whose face is slapped all over google and fan fiction, into the Gauss Raven.

Do you have a BJ-1X? I enjoy this build:

Why cant there be a 'cinema' mode to make screenshots and montages?

Like in MW4M you good be a spectator flying thing. I think that you should be allowed to have 4 spectators per match (they don't take up player slots and get no rewards).

Swap Ferro for Endo. You'll have more weight for heatsinks, armor, etc.
Here's my own.

Bit too short ranged for my taste. I actually want the Ferro for more protection (it is stronger right?).

It isn't. Ferro is more points for the same weight. (It says 12% more points per ton. I count 10 points of armor in a ton for standard armor). But since your maximum cannot change, it isn't actually better. Lore considers ferro to be a lower-level of armor due to its space-consuming nature. (It's also read to resist lasers more but MWO doesn't apply that).

Side note: Short range or not, those small pulse lasers will out perform medium lasers, here's why I use them comparing my weapons to yours.

I can fire once every 2.75 seconds (includes full beam time)
You can fire once every 4 seconds (includes full beam time)
I shoot faster.

I have to hold my target for 1/2 a second to do full damage.
You have to hold it for a full second to do full damage.
We're both effective against slow targets but I'm more effective against fast ones too.

I deal 3.40*8 = 27.2 damage every 2.75 seconds. In 9 seconds I've done 108.8 damage and generated 57.6 heat having fired 4 times (0, 2.75, 5.5, 8.25 = shot 4 times).
You deal 5*6 = 30 damage every 4 seconds and in 9 seconds you've dealt 90 damage and generated 72 heat having fired 3 times (0, 4, 8 = shot 3 times).
You're dealing better damage in a single shot, but I'm doing far more damage over time, faster, and run cooler.

I take greater risk, but being able to fire faster, stay cooler, and deal damage scary-fast really pays off.

(For some reason wrote 3.40 * 8... but did the math for 3.40 * 6. lol. Fixed.)

I actually meant more on the lines of Theater mode à la Halo.

I'm not uberfanboyish about Halo, I like the series, but I saw it as CoD in the future, BUT I DIGRESS lol I'll give the franchise one thing for sure it has a fantastic Theater mode. Creating videos, clips, screenshots, and being able to save them on my computer from the cloud that they get uploaded too is awesome.

Imagine being able to browse through the 'MWO Cloud' and pick a match to put together some montages, clips, and screenshots from any angle you want, or any speed you want. Then download it and have fun with your editing software if you do that sorta thing.

Have you watched the launch event's tournaments? They have this. Apparently it's only available on private versions of the game. It appears that they have it for recording the hero vids, too.

I do what I can with the powers I have been given.
