Hi,

To preempt all the crying, I wanted to post about the King crab, if you can put 3 AC20s on it that are not burst fire. There will be alot of 1/2/3 shot kills.

Please nerf the crab into a crab cake now because our clan mechs need to be more powerful.

Thanks,

[Destructicus]

it's funny because 90% the "hur dur nerf X" cries come from the IS
Yes I admit the Timberwolf needs a nerf, but you're calling out the wrong people.
In any case
Ghost Heat will keep the KC from being all that effective.

Please make it super slow with tartar sauce in the gears to keep it down to 45 kph minimum

Is that a Lump Crab Cake?

[Animus]

Maybe like all crab have a hard outer shell (armor) and a soft center (internals).

Or as it overheats it can turn pink and slow down, like a crab in the oven.

[Brody319]

Give it the ability to scuttle.

[TheMadTypist]

King Crab will not be able to mount more than 2 AC20, only got ballistics in the arms.

Also, preemtive nerfing will not occur because Paul has been brought under the sway of the Crab-people by Alex (the artist). Soon, the crab people shall spread their influence throughout Piranha's staff, causing them to change their name to Crustacean games, and begin pushing the crab-people agenda through all their titles.

60 pin point alpha is ridiculous in this game, we had it before with 6 PPC stalkers and it was bad. Be interesting to see how the devs implement King Crab and heat with it.

2 PPCs, 2 AC20s is doable.

Slow, fragile and HOT, but doable.

Why does the king crab have only 2 legs, according to the internet the Phylum: Arthropoda has 8 legs.

It was only bad if you were the one driving that hexastalker...just saying

I for one look forward to our Crab overlords.

So! When is the 5 gauss hero mech of the annihilator coming?

AKA - gausszilla.

Quote

Annihilator Bryan "Gausszilla" - Apparently based on the Annihilator C2, this variant carried five Gauss Rifles. In addition to the standard Gauss Rifle layout, a fifth Gauss Rifle was fitted to the right torso. This variant only had eight tons of ammunition. BV (2.0) = 2, 455^[13] It is a nod to Bryan Nystul's (non-canonical) Gausszilla design.

42 tons of gun. (arm critical slots filled, six slots taken from energy torso)

5 tons of structure (with endosteel) (fourteen floating slots taken)

25 tons of engine (STD 300, two slots for heatsinks, top speed of 48.6)

4 tons of heatsink (Smurfy reports a 32% heat efficency with 14 double heatsinks for a 2xAC20 2xPPC armament, may not account for Ghost heat) (six crits taken from empty torso, two heatsinks inserted into engine)

18 tons of armor

Total of 94 tons, with five critical slots free. Load five tons ammo and either A). drop half a ton of armor, go up to engine 305 or . go up to 19 tons of armor.

Hot, likely. Slow, yes. Fragile? Maybe not. At least it can't carry much ammo.

Have to overcome the "no Clan tech on non-OmniMechs" thing even before we get to the dreaming about 'Mech with the required ballistic hardpoints.

Thanks,

In what way, shape or form, is it going to have a third AC/20?

Not a single King Crab, current or future tech, has a ballistic slot in a torso. Only the arms.
And I sincerely doubt PGI is doing split criticals, because lets face it... they aren't the most competent team out there.

Even if they did, they wouldn't do it in such a way that you could exploit it with a 3rd AC/20.

Besides if they do...

The ghost heat on single shot weapons is a LOT worse.
