Like yeah, WHERE did these images come from?

I've searched and couldn't find their source, was it from a early stream?

[Kaylos Thex]

These were screengrabs from last night's NGNG live stream.

Phil put up some teaser shots for us near the end.

Link to the livestream (if it was recorded)?

Thanks!

I don't think people are interpreting that image correctly. The SH is going to be very tall. Even if the Jenner comes to the height of the upper leg it will be taller than the Cent. The Jenner should be photoshopped so the footpads of the two mechs are at the same level. We are talking Quickdraw size here. The size of the Jenner in the new position can be derived from perspective lines since its feet are parallel and traceable to the horizion.

Nope, Kintaro or less in size (just slightly higher than a Cent).

Quickdraw...
Man, either you have no idea how big that one is, or have some severe miscalculations in that height theorem of yours.

Perspective doesn't work the way you think that it does. Moving something "downward" moves it closer to the camera (at least in the case of this image). Doing this without resizing the Jenner would make it appear smaller than it is (and even Shadowhawk appear larger).

There are size comparisons for all mechs:
Thunderbolt
Locust
Shadow Hawk
Battlemaster

- Locust seems fine
- Battlemaster seems fine
- Thunderbold is wider but less tall than a centurion, I like it, it looks very compact and brutal that way
- Shadow Hawk is taller than a Centurion
- Shadow Hawk is taller than a Cataphract! WTF?

The Shadow HAwk is WAY to big imho!

No, you scale the Jenner bigger and closer over the Shadow Hawk then once it is scaled you move the layer adjacent. I know how to approach it. Feel free to visually argue your point. I don't mean to move the image before it is resized.

Here is the link to NGNG, the source for the images.

Uh oh:


Damnit, I got my hopes up for nothin'. Business as usual, nothing to see here. Medium mech scaling working as intended™.

You guys realize a CTF isn't very tall, right?

The CTF is an average sized heavy.

Oh for the love of god... WHY DO YOU KEEP MAKING MEDIUMS SO FREAKING BIG? I don't care what the lore says; this is a balance issue.

You guys seem to have no problem making lights tiny, why do you insist on turning mediums into behemoths?

Kintaro:


Shawk:



The Shadow Hawk is slightly taller than the Kintaro. GG close.

[Barantor]

Shadowhawk is the size of a Treb, just like I figured.

Shadowhawk isn't nearly as wide as the cataphract at least.

[Amsro]

Looks like the legs are the most over-sized part, those are stilts!!

But, I'm still rockin' the Trebuchet's and I see enough Kintaro's around, ShadowHawk should be fine.

[Spheroid]

[Charons Little Helper]

The Shadowhawk is tall - but it's torso actually isn't that big. I will say - I don't think I'll be dropping my leg armor as much as I usually do.

[GODzillaGSPB]

So, the Shadow Hawk is bigger than the Thunderbolt. That absolutely makes sense. LOL!

One would think that at least, when they're actively working on a bunch of mechs together - the Phoenix mechs - that they could get the scaling right. Nope. They don't.

So what is it? Incompetence? Ignorance? Or is there actual thought behind it? I can hardly believe it...

It's deliberate thought. They obey the TT bible when it comes to scaling things 40+ tons.
