let's see, any ballistic arm was de-skinned so we wouldn't fail to notice it, a single machine gun merits a massive counterbalance system, but the autocannon barrels themselves still look anemic (a light might use them! they have to fit the scale for lights!) check.

missile racks were made to bulge unwieldly from the mechs to they'd be easier targets, but were "carefully" done to avoid requiring new models for the racks to be made. meaning they now stick out everywhere.
check.

energy hardpoints are present at all times, even in models of mech that don't have them, leaving pointless grey areas to **** up the paintjobs we've paid for. and PPCs remain disproportionally tiny in comparison to their damage.
check.

this update needs to be taken back and worked on more. more to the point, i want whoever worked on this geometry to come on the forum, explain themselves, and apologize for doing such a lackluster job.

[WatDo]

Sweet. Baby. Humping. Jesus.

I said earlier i was waiting for the resizing to hold out judgement on the geopass on the Awesome, but oh my god. I logged in to check for myself to see how it looked.

Ugh.

I don't even care how the ppcs look... the missles are scattered even worse than i thought and my CANNONS have been replaced by tiny, cute little buttons all over my Awesome.

Someone help it! Put it out of its misery atleast!

[DAYLEET]

Sneak peek at 3am eh.

This is like the time they increased the quality of some mech camo. While the paint became clearer and nicer people complained because different, even better, is never good.

Applause to PGI on f*cking up a mech, i thought was impossible to f*ck up.
PGI. Truly exceeds your expect-f*cking-ations.

ABSOLUTELY DYNAMIC

Sorry, but I am still on the side that the Cicada looks better now than it did before.

I think the only negative is the off-centered CT energy.... although I was half expecting the lasers were to be ontop of each other instead of side by side.

I'm actually on the side that believes it was an actual buff, since the ERPPC was below cockpit level. Now it can actually properly peek (including its usual laser shenanigans).

[stoogah]

I like my cicadas and awsomes new look. It's not perfect but for me it looks better than shoting med laser from giant ppc barrel on my 9m. One thing that will make it 1000% better is if the paintable dynamic parts. That's the one thing that don't fit very well imo. Camo should be visible on that parts.

Maybe if laser lenses were a little less exosed beyond standard mech structure... less embossed. But I still like it as it is

Oh come on, just look at the 3M.
It has 1E hardpoint in each torso.
JUST LOOK AT IT.
They're not even parallel to each other!

Well, after pointing that out...

I don't understand the need to make the lower weapon the first weapon added, when even the stock build suggests they should be at the same height.

PGI logic™.

[Duke Nedo]

Did the actual tube count change on the X5 and the PB, or was that just cosmetics? Didn't have time to try it live yet and smurfy still shows the old count...

The 3C ER-PPC placement is phenominal, the 3M laser placement is bad but at least one side seams to get a slight mount raise? The AC for both the 3M and 3C look like trash.

At least the 3C ER-PPC is good though

I'd say we'd have to look @ what happens if you put in an ERPPC in the 3M... and see where it goes.

I'd almost think the 3C got a specific buff if that hardpoint is designed as such for just that variant.

[white0Fox]

I love the old Dragon, and the Yen Lo Wang with the big AC/20 !!

But we have this.....



But the Weapon-Geometry looks so bad

I like my old Flame back, the new "Weapon Geomety" destroy the unique Hero Camo.

Ugh, those tiny, tiny PPC nipples on the Awesome...

What is it with you guys and making PPCs tiny?

People complained PPC's on lights were scaled smaller than PPC's on other mechs.

Now they're the same size.

Isn't that what people were after all along?

NOBODY WANTED THEM SMALLER

[Trev Firestorm]

ruined the X5's beautiful missile hardpoints as expected, didn't help the centurion's arm any, came close on the dragon arm but still screwed it up, awesome arm got ****** up as well as its ppcs. many missile launchers were done in the laziest way possible, and everything is black for no /good/ reason... What the hell, if you're going to do something like this do it right!

lolwut, that's the first I have heard someone describe the X-5's missile hardpoints as beautiful...first time for everything I suppose.

If PPC's on lights were bigger, they would look like 15 year olds running around with gigantic boners poking out of their shoulders. Then PGI might have been sued for promoting veiled anti feminist sjw'ism.

Scaling PPC's down is the lesser of two evils?

[Charon DOC Stock]

The first mistake was to allow every lights to equip their tiny arms with PPC.
If you want to use a big PPC thing, use a Panther which was designed with a strong arm to equip a big thing.
But unfortunatelly it is too late now to modify the customisation rules.
