I had to log in to post this reply:

Great work PGI! Hell I did this just for the UI changes alone. Changing from CHeck Out to SAVE, no sarcasm I swear. This patch is going to make me happy. Things are starting to get polished and that means things are being looked at with a fine toothed comb. Things like this patch and the communication of these notes are what gives players confidence in the game.

Again thanks!

how many minutes left until i can play

[Nicholas Carlyle]

Is there any way to make sure the Clan Targeting Computers don't effect Gauss and PPCs?

Or is that asking too much?

At least the Timberwolf really can't fit a Targeting Computer.

Probably another hour. Usual patch window is 2 hours.

Soo still no Spider Hero? I cant wait to see how incredibly effed it is out of the box because you let butthurt assault pilots vote on the loadout. "One missile and three machineguns!" YaaaaaaaY!

Or perhaps the eternal wait is because you're doing the right thing and giving us a Venom clone and you want to let the clan drop wash away some of the QQ. (Please god yes)

Isnt PPC getting a speed increase of the projectile?
also higher crit chance?

don't know about the Gauss tbh

[Relic1701]

IIRC a targeting computer is done by weight, 1t for every 5t of weaponry, so for 2 CERPPC's + CGAUSS it would have to weigh 5 tons & 5 spaces.

That is quite a hit if the meta guys wanna pack the extra range.

[Middcore]

So, now that we have command consoles, is the Atlas D-DC finally going to come with one and lose the ECM it only ever got to make up for the command console not doing anything?

[RentBuzzline]

In the game I played alot (World of Tanks), there are tools available to check the ingame armor modelling on the actual ingame 3d assets (google tankinspector). Is there a similar way to check for things like the changed CT hitzone in the Dire Whale?

[Eglar]

well for anyone interested, the patch-notes are up already:

If it had been done like it is in battletech, yep. BUT pgi did it their way. (Each rank of Targcomp weighs more, takes up more space, but gives higher and higher boost values, heaviest is 7 tons and is pretty nasty)

Spoiler

Targeting computer Mk VII:
Weight: 7 Ton
Slots: 7 Slot
Zoom distance increases by 15.0%
Sensor range increases by 7.5%
Time to gather target info decreases by 75.0%
Projectile weapon projectile speed increases by 15.0%
Beam weapon long range increases by 7.5%
Beam weapon max range increases by 7.5%
Critical chance for projectile and beam weapons increases by 12.50%

Clan ERSL:

Damage reduced to 4
Range increased to 200m


So, this means that a pair of 2 CERSL are now inferior to the CERML in every way. A single CERML gives 7 damage at 450m, for 5 heat. 2 CERSL will now give 8 damage at 200, for 4 heat. It looks like the CERSL has now just suffered the fate of the Inner Sphere Small Laser.


Seriously, guise. This weapon wasn't overpowered before. It was balanced against the CERML to give noticeably higher damage per ton, at the downside of way less range. Now it has basically the same damage per ton, at less range. Another weapon bites the dust...

Absolutely incredible!

The patching isn't even finished and the whining begins with an unbelievable amount of likes.

So lets put this together (if the math is correct): from the small lasers point of view it is doing 12.5% more dmg/t at 20% less heat. Assuming that it was and ever should be a backup weapon system thats still fair enough to accept it. But instead, without even playing it once, oh' the complaints go marchin' in.

BTW: 30% more damage in the old system was a NOTICEABLE HIGHER DMG? I hope you are not one of PGIs Responsibles.

I've been plaing this game for several month now and I can tell you I barely noticed any difference in the way of people playing after the different weapon changes. And this will be the same with this one.

Wait for the Patch to come live, and then start to complkain if your 12 er sml laser Nova isn't going that well anymore. But until then: RELAX (This goes for the other 600+ people as well).
