Only a quicky so far, gotta get with Koniving and his crew and get some footage...just a 3pv camera shot in testing grounds


Appears to be shorter, and MUCH narrower than the Centurion, with Firestarter proportioned hitboxes (though obviously a bit bigger)

So size wise, in game model seems ok, and the model itself? Beautiful.

Loadouts.....welll not so much.


Anyhow, please post any size photos of the Vindi you go there. Thanks!

I hope to see more images because it'd be nice to see.

exactly. Hoping to team up with some folks this evening to get some more up. Only so much you can do, solo

Is the Vindicator relatively fast and maneuverable? Speed can some times make up for relatively lack luster load outs.

with a 250 in it, the St Ives is decently nimble.

It feels good to drive anyhow. Will still need to tweak weapons.

I'm really liking the look of the 1R, it looks like it might be Blackjack level good.

Wow....it is almost the size of a centurion. I am disappointed.

Damnit.

I was hoping this would be my next medium mech, to be honest. Now my "mini-Yen Lo Wang" build turns out to be just a big Diet Yen Lo Wang.

a 45 toner is "almost" as big as a 50 toner!?! NO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Good job PGI looks great!

Trebuchet's are the ones that are oversized.

Fixed that for ya.

[ToxinTractor]

Love what they did with this mech, seems to be decently mobile with okay hard points and its not huge. Defiantly going to be my 45 tonner of choice

The damn thing reminds me a prawn from District 9...

Narrow waist with protruding hip joints, wider torso, large head... It even has the antennae!
A somewhat short and stocky prawn, but still a prawn.

No need for racial slurs, brah.

Head reminds me of a trade federation battle droid. And that's okay.

[Sephlock]

It seems fine to me... but maybe I've just become conditioned by past results ... ?

I know that I didn't bat an eye at the hard points due to all my recent experiences piloting an Adder .

[BarHaid]

Anyone sized it up against a Blackjack yet?

[Alistair Winter]

Speaking of comparo pics... isn't it possible that this is just a Kintaro mech in new clothes? Isn't that how PGI 3D artist work? Use the same skeleton for different mechs, so they can just recycle the same animations for every new mech?

Just something I read on the forums. Haven't seen PGI comment on it.
