Normalized geometry has given all Catapults a 20-tube launcher box on both arms.

3xSRM 6 will fit inside the box. No bolt-on missile pods needed.

This needs to be fixed. Still.

PGI had to know when they did this that they were doing something wrong. There is no way they could tell us with a straight face that they honestly thought the VCRs were an acceptable compromise for custom geometry.

Strangers from the net! we have a new mission!

The new kick starter of battletech has concept arts with 3 things wrong (more in fact but we need to focus) catapults are huge, catapults have the big ears and the missile tubes go through the rack door.

We need to make noise to rectifique this in the final game. Long live to the catapult gods.

I didn't want to point this out but has anyone else noticed a few patches back a subtle change to the catapult? Seems like it can make it up semi-steep hills just slightly better but it's really a big impact on it getting to spots it took a minute or two to walk around before.

Damn, that Cat is beautiful - and not a VCR to be seen.

And yes, I'm a backer already. Don't know if I made it into the first 1,000 (was debating with myself just how crazy I am), but if I missed it I wasn't that far off :)

Although I very much doubt it, I wonder if any of the PGI hero mechs would make it into the game. A Mercenary, his Jester, and the Inner Sphere for the taking!

I highly doubt they would do that, but hey it would be cool.

We have to think how we are going to celebrate the date. We can make custom matches, catapult group premades, catapult only tournament, NG NG coverage, propaganda ... the sky's the limit.

any action would help the CPLT.

how far back did they push the 'pult? it's appalling how long it is taking to fix this.
