- Greater visual weapon customization for the Cataphract chassis. Their appearance will better reflect the weapons that have been equipped on them.
Waaaaay overdue. It's about time we got this. Too bad I don't play my Cataphract anymore as I'm now focusing on King Crab specialization. >.<

Both left and right arms on the CTF-4X have two ballistic slots, which means that players will likely pair their weapons -- at least one kind on both arms. I personally run with 1 gauss rifle and 1 machine gun on each arm (total of 2 gauss and 2 MG). I played with this configuration so much that my XP on this chassis has gone to the hundreds of thousands. I was bloody good with this setup, if I say so myself. I've seen other players do the same pairings with different kinds of ballistic weapons: UAC/5 and MG on each arm, AC/5 and MG on each arm, quad AC/5s, quad AC/2s, etc.
But with the visual customization and accompanying change to an uneven slot placement -- over-and-under for the right arm, side-by-side on the left arm -- running with paired weapons become literal hit-and-miss scenarios. With your weapons firing from different heights on each arm, playing with the CTF-4X now requires a lot of guesswork. When facing an obstacle (such as a rock or an ally), you're no longer sure if the low-slung MG on your left arm will hit the same thing as the high-placed MG on the right, and so on. This is especially detrimental with MWO's weapon mechanic of focusing fire into a single point on your target, regardless of what location on your mech your weapon is firing from.
PGI, please consider placing the second ballistic hardpoint on the CTF-4X's left arm into the empty space where the hand on other Cataphracts would instead be, on the same level as the "upper" slot on the right arm.
I know the Cataphract is supposed to be a "Frankenmech" in canon, but that's no reason to just be random about its weapon placements, especially considering that, in terms of hardpoints, the left and right arms are essentially identical.
Thanks!

It's all GOING to slowly, not because want it to go so much quicker.
But to let it grow for more people, Davions are almost non-active outside the NA-timezone because of low population.
And there is low population because it not active enough.
This is because it's beta, should been there earlier!
And it needs weekly updates on al points, small funny (lore or not-lore) details, planet info, random events (super nova, comets, spaceships).
And some real things like maps (even quicker if possible) Adaption on 10 on 10 , 10 vs 12 with the clans. 12 vs 12.
And first games improvements on turret runs. quicer games from 10 to 8 or 6 min. and some AI- fun dropships still coming with some shots or bot-mechs.
So people can also use it as a training-platform.
Maybe these are good or bad.
But plz be more active on it and standby it.
Ps: you have sold enough upfront content to play with, we also want to have an exiting WORLD/Universe to play in.
And let people (be able to) run trough a more extensive trainings-program, we the lvl-difference is stagering.
Don't let them play clans (and slow assaults) in the 1st 100 games.
