My pants seem suddenly and unexpectedly to have become damp, let me go find a new pair.

Thats a great image though, wish the PPC barrels were closer to that.

Ok, so the Nova rescale pic is floating around, no Catapult yet?

Catapult's probably going to need more time because the model needs to be reworked more thoroughly due to technical shenanigans or something. However, the Nova's looking good enough that it gives me hope the Catapult's going to have justice, at last.

I'll be waiting and seeing, though. My founder catapult trembles in anticipation.

Yeah, with the upcoming Catapult update, i am wondering on how will they solve the missile arms.
I'm hoping it's not just having empty square blocks inside the missile doors, if you don't have 3 hardpoints there, but i have a feeling that's exactly what we'll get.

I have an idea how they could solve the missile arms, but I don't think they will do it.

Instead of the box being the arm (like it currently is), have the post it sits on be the actual arm, and the box be the variable geometry weapon. They could make a few different sized boxes for big/small LRMs and SRM launchers. If no missiles were equipped, the boxes would be gone but the post would remain.

Any shot to the weapon would automatically apply to the arm as it should.

So, that's why they don't meet deadlines for PPC, LBX or quirk change! They're messing around in the office!

Anyone see the new CPLT?? Bump, then gonna crosspost.

No missile boxes yet but look at those PPCs, high mounted ballistics and the detail.... I think this is a test model with all the hardpoints so not a configuration allowed, but still... Thanks to Bishop for finding this.

It looks awesome. But those ppcs could be a bit longer like the original ones.

I really want to see the newly modeled A1. I hope PGI used this time well, because I doubt that they would go back to do it a third time...

I agree, but not a deal breaker for me. I'm just glad to see the PPC barrels looking how they should (even if a tiny bit short).

I feel that might be the true test of the dynamic weapon redesign on the Catapult. Larger PPC arms are probably a lot easier than eliminating VCRs. The A1 will really speak volumes when it is posted. I hope when PGI posts the new A1, it is multiple pics with different loadouts.

If i recall correctly, there is a glimpse of the boxes in the beginning of the streaming, i think they are like the first smaller ones.

The new Catapult model looks pretty fantastic, I'd say.

Tempted to go for the Mastery Bundle, actually :D

If they fix my C1 I'm buying a Butterbee.

Please don't paint it like an actual bee, guys. Or butter.

I don't mind if it has some stripes, just not literally looking like a bee.

Barantor, I promise you, I shall purchase the Buttlebee variant of the Catapult and I WILL find the UGLIEST combination of black, yellow and stripes for the camo. And after I do this... I shall find you after probably several dozen random matches... and you shall weep at the sight of my mech.

(If for some reason the RNG gods do not place us in the same match on the same team then that would foil my evil plan completely. Hrm.)
