Minor,and subtly done, but the nubs for 3 fins are present and break up the monotony of the circle, without being enough to be a hitbox issue.

Super ultra mega bonus: Zeus ® has fins. They're subtle, but they're there. Gogo Zeus-X homage!


I did, and they're pretty. I could wish they were a bit more overt, but as they are they do the job well enough.

Now I just need an LBXX-AC and X-Pulse Lasers.

I would take the hitbox problems in a heartbeat if they gave me the full fins. I WANT THE FINS! WILL PAY $ FOR FINS!

I definitely want to be able to drop MC for custom geometry modifications to mechs. Add full fins to the Zeus, a full on skull head for an Atlas, etc. As they'd be totally optional, as long as none made the mechs hitboxes smaller there's no P2W issue. Larger hitboxes (fins, for example) are the user's problem, if he cares.

I love all the patch work armor, different textured metals, the rollbars on the legs, those extra fins, bullet holes and the paint job. Amazing!! It has become my favorite model to date!

Actually, the original was in testing during the Clan Wars.

In testing is a much different thing than in production.

Well, technically, I misspoke because it was in production (3054) but considered experimental as it was built of rather untested and non perfected technologies. the ZEU-X2 was then put into limited production during the FedCom Civil War (3068 or so). Then the ZEU-X3 in 3089. 3119 is actually the 4th iteration, the ZEU-X4.

3054. It's nice to see the NOd though, on the ® Custom Geometry. I'd like it less if it was normal geo for them all, as it kinda feels a little more special this way.
