so does the popeye arms on the Hellbringer. Point is, in most cases, it's pretty minor stuff. Rounded instead of squared, etc. So, that's about what I expect from any of them, and the few that get "more", well, bonus round!

I hardly think our low expectations mean they shouldn't/can't come up with more interesting enhancements.

Should it? Perhaps not. But really when people act like they are shocked and devastated.... ummm...just look at past history folks.

Did they even change anything on the Panther?

Perhaps the bars around the thighs/knees weren't there before... But the bullet holes were.

thigh bars, bullet holes, not a lot. But the all black paint and fact it generally blends with the PNT better really hides anything

Hey, PNT question for you.... I seem to only get really weak, shallow jumps with my PNT..... how about you? (4 JJ 10k)

Well, while not blown away, when I compare it to the Phoenix, or even Invasion Geometries, I mean what is one expecting? Only the Founders ever really went "unique" IMO.

I think the phoenix geometry on the battlemaster and thunderbolt are quite noticeable. The other ones look like they don't even have pauldrons in comparison.

I had to keep looking back and forth at the resistance models to even see what was different when I logged in

Has the custom geometry ever been stellar? no.

but it's definitely getting worse.

Ive fallen in love with my Pants, as I call them now...

put 8JJs on it... it's worth it, even if you have to downgrade to an xl 220~~

I don't get it, what is special?

Not all of them can carry it....and they shouldn't need 8. With 4, my PNTs and FS9s get about just fine. Something is off, almost like they have the JJs set to a similar impulse as the HGN, because even a simple stationary jump barely wants to lift.

I think I've answered that question already

Yes, they feel anaemic.

Edit: Perhaps it's because it's 4/8, so MWO thinks it should only be 50% max power... But then again, the 4/4 8Z an 9R doesn't feel any more powerful.

Umm... which part is the special geometry?

Do i need glasses?... or ...

Every 'special geometry' mech before the Resistance package has been far more noticeable. Completely changed geometry on legs, shoulders, sometimes heads, compared to taking the base geometry and tacking handholds on it. Shadow Hawk is the only one I can think of that did something similar and even that was more noticeable than these things.

"The nova has unique geometry?" were the exact words as I read this.

I guess... I mean it has those extra humps to look closer to its original art, but it's not really noticable.

it's subtle, but on the Panther I like it. Specially the thicker look to the shoulder guards and the Thigh bolsters.

Would spinners and curb feelers make it better? Seriously, I'm ok with subtle on occasion. I think it looks rather sharp on the PNT. ENF.... is not as impressive.

Well if I well and truly deiced to flip sides, (getting that way, after last boute of ToP for CGBI went bad for me), I might have to pick one of those kitties up.

And that's why I am just a happy freebirth. No bloodname,s no ambition...I just drop and blow stuff up! Much less stress, drama and politics. If I want those, I just have to read one of catalina's post, lol!

[Axeface]

To be honest, no comment. It's incredibly lackluster really, the bars also don't make much sense - I'm a fan of real function in design and not design for designs sake (I Read an article about function in sci-fi design a while back... really good, but cant find it now).
PS: I'm so going to rip the enforcer model out of the game and make my changes
