Geometry pass on the awesome will be ppc nipples, or more badonkadonk.

weapon geometry standardization at it's finest.

Hey look!!! They both got 2 PPCs!!!!!
(yeah and of course, PPCs are such a large weapon that Omnimechs CANNOT mount a hand actuator if they mount one. Food for thought.)

really digging those large lasers on the LT on the bottom one.

Does this mean the AWS will go on the slim-fast diet? So it's not Mr. Buffet Mech?

No. apparently just it's weapons will. Which will only make the fat underneath look even MORE ludicrous.

I hope the Awesome keeps its big PPCs. In most BattleTech illustrations of that 'mech, it had big PPC barrels. I'd chalk it up to different PPC and 'mech manufacturers. After all, IRL different manufacturers accomplish the same thing with differing designs.

then let me buy those IWW PPCs for my K, please! I'll bloody well pay MC to get them back if i had to!

PPCs. Such a huge and powerful energy weapon system that the Awesome was built around them, with each huge tube being housed in its own section of the mech.

But the firestarter can shove three tiny ones into its fist, that do the same damage as the big ones. Firestarter can also shove a micro AC/20 into its chest. A gun so large the Hunchback was built with a giant hunch on one shoulder to house it.

What can I say. It IS the most interesting Mech in the Inner Sphere.

THIS IS OFFENSIVE.

I feel that I must point you to an old thread started by the one and only ERRATIC CHEESE.



In all seriousness though, I can't be the only one who thinks that making custom visuals for individual weapons is pretty damn close to the bottom of the priority list in terms of things this game needs.

Seriously, I'm not the only one who thinks that, am I?

Cause when I think of improvements that need to be made to MWO to make me want to play again, custom weapon visuals on an awesome doesn't even get into my "Top 100" list.

its fine they got different peeps working on different things.

But yeah if they can't do it right, might as well leave it alone

[Kenyon Burguess]

have to switch to large lasers for that squared peck look i guess.

We already know what we are gonna get, balance and mechanics wise. PGI has yo-yo'd the nerf-buff bat a few times, but the song remains the same.

So, yeah, facing reality, I want to at least have good looking mechs as I play Stompy Robot TDM.

Indeed. The art people are working around the clock on new models and camos while the programmers are doing outside contract work.

[xengk]

If those barrel count as hitbox for side torso, I wouldn't mind it so much.
At least I don't get CT cored from taking shots on the side.

But PPC's can't be that big. Even the Locust can mount them...

[Impyrium]

There's no solution unless you ditch free full customization, and that's not going to happen, is it? I don't think, realistically, that Firestarter is going to carry three PPCs on one arm with the size from the Awesome.
