Hmmm...does that mean the stalker is going to have a big barel sticking out where the 2 lasers would have been and the other PPC is going to be external?

it's too late guys they've been cooking up these scrape heap challenge mutations ever since the "i want cool stuff to justify my trololol builds" crowd came along last year. the designs are only going to look more ridiculous as ac20's are justified to fit on ravens etc etc. some of us warned this would happen so i have no sympathy for the problem. the "moar rambo gunz on me mechs" crowd for omni style customisation have got their bed and they can lie in it.

I was looking forward to having the rest of the mechs updated with the new weapon models. But now I want them to just be left alone.

The way the extra missile launchers are just tacked onto the pod arms looks like something I would draw in art class when I was ten years old. It looks horrible. I see the need of having the required launchers present, but anything the same size or smaller than the default 15-20 port pod arms should just stay inside the boxes. I wonder where the two extra SRM6 launchers are going to be tacked onto the 3xSRM6 Cent...

As for the K2's PPC arms I think they could have stayed the same as the original. Look at the Orion, when you change the energy mount in the arms from a SL/ML/LL to a PPC all that changes is the "lens" of the weapon. The armored structure of the arm remains the same. All the K2's original arms were was the armored housing for the equipped weapon. Having them change for a laser weapon may make sense, as the laser is probably a smaller package, but the PPC sticking out there just looks like its begging to be one shotted off.

I can't wait to see the Omnimechs, they're gonna look like 1970's stereo systems.

PS. <slightly off topic> Oh, god, what will the Hunchie look like with these changes? Will the iconic AC20 shoulder get a protruding barrel now? Because I think that will go down as badly as the Catapult arm changes have...


Oh, dear... I love my Hunchback. I do not want my Hunchback to have a shoulder cannon even more insanely large than the current hunch or the mech will be unplayble since it'll be nothing but a walking gun. Yeah, this is going to go great, I can bet...

This may look quaint, but it's actually the latest design sketch for the Omnis:

The point of adding external SRMs to the existing arm is slightly baffling...

Sir, here's the damage report from Bravo Lance.

It's both good and bad news. The bad news is the support A1 took moderate damage on the left ear losing it's VCR, EQ, and Amp. The good news is supply says they have a Turn-table, Eight Track, and Reel to Reel we can bolt up in their place.

Unless you are shortly planning to add in ARROW missile in which case those come in 5's.
