it would definitely be great if the jester had 4 CT hardpoints like the awesome 9m...that feature would make it worth the money for me

and even though I'd be sad if it hadn't ballistics in the torso, I like the camo! one of the more original ones!

Really?



That's in a COM-TDK.

It's all relative anyway; your median CB-income in your Fatlas + 30% or my median CB-income in my 'mando + 30%. Either way it's 30% more and we could use some Hero lights and mediums for those that prefer playing lights and mediums.

i kinda giggled when i saw the post abput lights not making money i can farm a few million cb's in short order in a tdk just shoot everything you see

That's a pretty ugly 'mech. But what piqued my interest is that map... it looks like an arena from this point of view. Looks like a great addition.

I love catapults and will buy it even if it's {Scrap}.

Boo not a light hero

I own 2 K2s already, one guns, and one energy. I enjoy piloting them but I get tired of getting hudded so often. Also, with that hud bull’s eye painted dead center, a hud miss is an instant CT hit. I really, really do hope they make the hud's hitbox more in line with the rest of the mechs. Seriously, they do not need that artificial nerf since the days of srm/streak cats spamming are over due to ghost heat and reduced/no splash damage. Also the duel AC20 mission has been taken by the Jag with its high mounted guns which does it better by far. What I'm hoping for at least is JJs, a big XL and an extra module slot like the other cats.

eh, ballistics with focal lenses?

The odd thing is that hose focal lenses appearance is brand new (current K2 one is set *into* the circunference not sligthy protuding)

This can mean they also plan to fix the weapon looks in Catapults (thus each weapon look different) or just allow for some ballistics there too?

We can't know for sure until we get more info on it , wich should be close to the 12th , and so far best bet it's bigger engine and JJ as diferences, with maybe some *old stats* for arms/turning.

They are working back to add changing weapon graphics to the older mechs as they do a hero mech for each one. Next are likely to be Hunchback and Jenner.

Those will be energy hardpoints on the Jester, but with improved graphics for lasers over the old K2 model. When the Jester is released you'll probably find that putting large lasers on your K2 will make it look like that.

It may be possible that the arm contains 1 energy and 1 ballistic, but we are only seeing the energy, but that is pretty unlikely. I would think PGI would show off every hardpoint the mech comes with (even if it meant throwing in MGs just so barrels would show up).

It looks like 6 energy points as it stands.

It should be noted by that picture. None of the current energy options on a K2 fit that piece. I would guess that is a new graphic for a Pulse Laser. On closer look, you will notice they tucked the two small ports in tight to the center torso. I have a feeling they are Machine Guns.

Left Arm: 1 Energy
Right Arm: 1 Energy
Left Torso: AMS, 1 Energy
Right Torso: AMS, 1 Energy
Center Torso: 2 Ballistic

This brings up the question, add JJ or ECM. Flipping points Hard points from L/R Torso to CT seems a nerf. So, that might justify adding JJ or ECM to it. The 2 AMS is just a quirk.

On the other hand, it has an ugly paint job like the Pretty Baby, why not a nerfed hardpoint layout too?

[Funky Bacon]

The CT guns does't look like lasers to me. Unless they updated the model those are probably something else. Most likely ballistic.

i suggest better screen resolution then. It has a glossy focal lens and the same silver ring around it the arm laser has.


is everybody playing this on a laptop or something?

As I said, it's possible its a model update cause the cat have red lenses (and less silver/metal highlights). And it is hard to tell but this new one looks to stick out of the chassis a few inches.

I do, what of it?

Then again, it is hooked up to my 46" TV along with a wireless keyboard and mouse, so that makes a bit of difference.

Distance you sit from that 46" tv? If it is more than six feet you aren't doing much more than my 24" here on my desk.

Probably about that far (maybe closer to 8 feet).

Still, I like the covenience of sitting in the family room and not in a computer room. Cold beer, surround sound, nice couch. It works for me.

Pretty sure Hero's patch in on Tuesdays. Not that I would be pissed if it was released today!

I'm 4-5 feet from a 60" ... the cockpit view is wonderful =D

[Felicitatem Parco]

I looks to me like it comes default with 2 [ER?]Large Lasers for the Arms, 2 Medium Lasers for the side torsos, and 2 Small Lasers in the CT. That, and double AMS. I don't *see* any sign of Jump Jets, but it would fit the theme of a Jester/Joker since it could poptart.
