"tacked on" like an after thought.

I think this is PGI's general work ethic with regards to everything :P

Saddly yes. It is easy to forgive for a while, but we are so far out of closed beta now and it still feels like they are scrambling to implement even small changes (and normally failing a couple times while doing it at that). I honestly can't see how something as complicated as Community Warfare will ever be implemented if they can't even get the small details right.

I get where the devs were going with this.... but really now.

It's hardly an elegant solution to the problem.

It would be a great solution if the primary box was dynamic as well. Instead of adding vcrs around the primary box, just make the primary box dynamic itself, stacking higher as you load more vcrs.

Loving the Clans. For one thing, they don't have itty bitty PPC disease.

You haven't tried to put a PPC on a Kit Focks left arm yet, have you? ;)

I'm hopeful that the quirk system will be the foundation for a fix to the dynamic issue. If they can add a +10% armor bonus to certain mech areas, they can then build the K2 arms as "tanky" and make the energy hardpoints "meaty", with only the lens of the laser being dynamic. So, even if the lens is small, the housing around it can look mean!

I have a feeling that since there is no money in fixing the models, they won't put any resources to it. Still, I say we keep up the good fight and keep these threads at the fore-front.

BTW, I ran the Cat C1 yesterday with PPCs. To me, the PPCs even look small on that mech in the side torsos.
