I had forgotten how good the 3D is. Still a good Mech. I think not Tier 1 anymore, but still a strong 1-2 level.

Thanks PGI for the Tournament prize (C) version.

I was wondering when they would get around to updating the graphics so when you change out equipment it reflects the changes? Mech has been around for awhile, time for the fix.

Just my 2 cents.

Maybe start a petition on those two? Cat`s PPCs looked so much cooler then.

There is one since the first day. The ppc specific one was closed for some reason.

I like the way it looks overall, but yeah, I wish the Right Torso and Right Arm ballistic models would change depending on the weapon, or at least look the same. It isn't a deal breaker though.

I think the Cataphract 3D just needs some minor generic quirks.

Something like:

+5% right torso armor, +5% Energy range, +5% Ballistic velocity.


Really they just need to give the Summoner Endo steel and the alt config. F right torso. Oh, was that unrelated?

No one shoots at those. It's easier and quicker to go for the CT.

Yea, the pass wasn't kind to the Hunchback either. That 3rd ballistic on the 4G is an atrocity. Art three barrels should have been concealed in the existing large opening in the hump.

Yeah, that was a bummer. Same as Mad Dog and Warhawk stub lasers.

Do me a favor and get that cutaway of a Mad Dog/Vulture to the IS engineers. They have this prototype mech they are trying to build and could use that info to figure out the engine shielding.

There's no "beating around the bush", it will make a good IS 55 tonner as soon as the bugs are sorted out.

Maybe stupid question. Never ran camo before on my mech so after I get the Phract camo I put it on. Now I cant access colors.

Am I doing it wrong?

Doubt you could harm the cicada's look with an update. 'phract the same, thing is ugly, thing stays ugly.

Awesome, though... :wacko:

Very true.

To me though, the Phract is good ugly whereas the Cicada is just ugly ugly. It does the original design proud which was also ugly. The Cicada's cockpit view is even ugly. It just needs a paper bag camo.

P.S. Sorry Cicada fans, its a great performing small medium skirmisher, but it is just all levels of ugly. Performance ultimately counts in a game like this, but ugh...so darn ugly. I just can't...I can't even.

I'll give you the walking animation, but not the good looking part lol.

It is a chassis only Stevie Wonder could love.
