Hey folks,

I know you've been waiting for a Command Console/Targeting Computer update and that IS coming. It is important that you are given the latest information on how these systems will work and David is writing up the specifics on what will be going on. David was overloaded with finalizing Clan 'Mech construction and hit box creation and was unable to get to the post today. He is currently working on it right now and will have something ready this evening. However, we need to make sure it's been proofread for clarity and all required information is there to make you, the reader, aware of what will be happening with CC/CT.

This Monday in the AM is when the post will go up with the details of what the two systems will be doing in MWO. I will be monitoring the post as it's written. If it's okay'd during the weekend, I'll have it pushed up on the Command Chair on that day. This means, that I will be monitoring through the weekend and will make sure that this post is done no later than Monday morning (PDT) and sooner if possible.

Sorry for the delay.

-Paul

This has been a good day. XD

[Bhael Fire]

Thanks Paul. Can you give hints as to what these items will do?

Been waiting all day!

[Kageru Ikazuchi]

We've been without information about how the Command Console will work for at least 22 months (that I know of), a few more days won't kill us. Especially when we have so much to talk about this weekend already ... SRM fixes, JJ heat, fall damage, MM fixes ... oh my!

Thank you for the short and sweet, yet frank and open, communication. Keep it up!

(A bit of advice, though ... One note like this every few days would generate more buzz and excitement than a pile of them all at once.)

No problem, thank you for actually putting this up and not pulling a "2013" on us.

Good to hear... I am not a very patient person though you guys know that by now.

Paul has emerged from the depth of the ocean. 'Tis a good sign.

[ShadowWolf Kell]

The amount of communication today makes me wonder if I've been dreaming all of this. Someone wake me up!

On second thought, don't. I'm afraid I might open my eyes and find out I'm in the Matrix.

This is how delays should be handled. Thanks, Paul.

[Deathlike]

At least Paul didn't say, "it's still a doorstop".

Any communication is better than no communication. I can wait... it's not like it'll suddenly get buffed over the weekend.

[Hexenhammer]

If they keep fixing things they'll eventually run out of things to fix and we'll get community warfare. Oh wait games are never fixed they are only patched.

So I'm really hoping the command console lets a thirteenth person drop in a limited spectator mode with access to the battlegrid. But I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment. I guess I'll just have to wait till Monday.

I think it's safe to say that isn't going to happen.

oooh.... I was really looking forward to the TC/CC and clan balance posts the most. At least we got a heads up that it was being delayed, glad to see even that communication got rolled out with all the other goodies. Being informed is good.

and shameless plug in case it's not included in the clan balance post yet to come:

In VLog#2, at 11:20, It has been said that we can redistribute armour, that the values are "variable" but not confirmed if that means we can add or subtract from the base armour amount. However, this was labeled with a "big disclaimer that this may all get adjusted during tuning.” Early information stated "The amount and distribution of armor" was a restriction but you have gone back on that, at least in part and not necessarily a bad thing.

Is it possible to let us know if these statements mean we can increase or decrease the base armour amount? (Ex/ Summoner Prime has 364 points of armour, stock. With redistribution are we allowed to say, increase that to 400 points or decrease to 350 points or does this mean we will always have 364 points, no more and no less, but we can change where they are allocated.)

[MisterPlanetarian]

Good to hear. And seconding that I'd want to know if we can max out/reduce and redistribute armor on clan mechs.

Always waiting til the last minute aren't we PGI?

Thanks for the heads up
