I mean just look at that. lol the Mist lynx man - what were you thinking? It's not new, but we got the AC20's resized, what about this? PGI made a big deal about getting the AC20 fixed on the Cent and Kingcrab, but somehow we can turn arms into shields on one mech and then almost disappear on the other and no one bats an eye.

Can we please get the sizes fixed? Light mechs are all over the place.

The MLX's "empty mounting box" is a lot fatter than the nub of the laser itself, which is the issue here. The missile tubes are also inefficient in terms of space because of having "unused area" on them, making them bigger than they would "need" to be.

Being mounted on the top and bottom also makes the arm way easier to hit from the side. At least one MLX weapon per arm should be mounted onto the side of the wrist to help reduce arm hitbox size. Maybe even put two lasers on the side of the arm and put them close together, like what the Death's Knell does.

Yes please.
Also.

Scale issues aside, lasers should have colored lenses based on type. It's in the art, put it in the game. It'd be subtle, but it'd be epic for those who notice it.

Makes sense, if they go through all this time to make different sizes for all the AC's (some differences which you can't even tell on the battlefield at a glance, ac10 vs ac20, vs LBX) might as well make purple, yellow, blue, teal, green, red lenses.
It would be sweet if they made them have a subtle glow (like atlas eyes) which would improve their readability. But that would only work if they implemented glows correctly so you couldn't see them a kilometer across the map. But if they did that, then we would get our atlas eyes back, so i fully endorse glows. And PPC's too, they'd look cool, maybe add some blue vapour coming out.
