Very good! For the first time I think the Shadow Hawk is a beauty. :P

Why is my King Crab crossed off? I demand this error be rectified at once!

And the charger makes a fine mech once you trade out the engine, even for a 400XL. The fact that it has a 400 rated engine as a base means it can go fast if you want to , it makes a fine energy boat, and variants with smaller engines have plenty of missile and ballistic hard points.

Plus, they re-engineered it into the Hatamoto line, so major kudos there!

the King Crab splits the AC/20's critical slots between the arm and adjacent torso. Something you can't do in MWO.

ES has dynamic criticals, giving King Crab the alternation of the script "should" be a pretty easy solution. Altough it would mean a lot of extra programming, I don't think it's completely off the board.

As cool and unique looking as it would be in the constraints of the game it just is too unlikely to happen.

I take it you thrown yourself into the enemy fire to shield him from enemy fire and nothing happened to him that match... right?

I tried. The other team had a 4-man and they rallied the pubs to backdoor us. Meanwhile our team was spread out like cheese whiz since it was all solo drops. It was not a long game.

How is it unlikely? I have not seen anything within the game that would prohibit a KC other than the AC/20s not fitting in the arms under the current system which should be, to my knowledge, not terribly difficult to fix.
*Edit: or rather, AC/20 crit slots not fitting properly within the system, since you cannot spread slots between locations.
