anyone here want to see Jester Jumpjet quirks?

No need, it jumps pretty high already with the few jump jets it has.

well it's not really high but the whole point of the thing was to not jump as high as the missile catapults.

It's high enough to poptart with.

Technically due to how low it is it technically is "Hill humping".
If that low is enough to "pop tart" then even the direwolf is a candidate to pop tart... even without max jumpjets...

you know I really wish we have more then 4 catapults in game (+1 hero)... makes me very twitchy to buy doubles of normal catapults... atm that being the A1 and the C1.

The Catapult is BARELY winning the rescale pole. It is only ahead by 3%. If you want to see the Catapult resized and haven't voted, please do.

I voted for the Catapult but I also voted for the Quickdraw. I personally wish to see both of them included in the 5 top choices.

Welcome awesomes and company to the k2 tiny ppc club! enjoy your long stay!

[MATRAKA14]

Hey the catapults are ultra shiny/wet now, why? some mechs are super shiny for some reason, its quite ugly in may opinion ...

[Bloodweaver]

^that's going to be addressed tomorrow in a hot-fix
nothing to worry about

[MeiSooHaityu]

Don't forget to vote Catapult for rescale.

Although this won't address the Catapult A1's arms, it does help address the Catapult's size in general.

15m is not "pretty high"

it really cannot jump snipe that good, personally i think the Jester is designed for it, other mechs doing laser vomit much better, with more tonnage dedicated for energy, like the thunderbolt.

the "lore" to the chassis paints the image of a heavy playing fast and light with quotes like: "mid-air, shooting down" , it seems to be intended as a poptart, (ideally with twin PPC and some backup weapons) though it does come stock with large lasers.

extra jump-jets or JJ quirks would really let the mech have a place/stand out.

[XxXAbsolutZeroXxX]

Irony being what it is, catapults actually benefit from their arms being larger.

The arms have about as much armor as the side torsos.

If you had a choice you would prefer them to shoot your arm, rather than your sides, being that you lose less weapons and equipment that way. Making the arms a big enough target to be tempting is a good thing.

Fifteen (15) meters vertically on only two (2) Jump Jets (as the Jester has a max JJ count of 2) would indeed be "pretty high".
For reference, BattleTech would only give you twelve (12) meters vertically with only two Jump Jets (1 Level per JJ, 1 Level = 6 meters).

Frankly, more JJs and/or JJ quirks aren't necessary.

Rescale is not related to the catapult's ears

Vote catapult for president!

[anonymous161]

If this company has to ask for pics of mechs in their game then...this is why I have stopped playing, these devs are morons.

Very true, but scale is another issue the Catapult has, so we still need to take care of that as well.

[MeiSooHaityu]

I can't wait to see a smaller Catapult. Hopefully the ears will be addressed when that happens.
