Have seen somewhere that there may be the ability to turn cockpit skin on and off and just have the HUD. Probably just user preference. Arguably no cockpit gives a modest visual advantage due to wider field of view (imagine if you didn't have to try to look around the AC on a Hunchback) but not sure it's a critical issue.

Humbug! I am aligned with the "If it takes away from realism, don't include it in the game" mindset.

It really makes you wonder what that thing is packing under the hood. AC/2 rather than a /10, Flamers rather than MLs, and an LRM5 instead of a 10? Where'd all that freed up tonnage go to? Mysteries!

Wow. That frees up enough tons for a 6/9 movement. Wonder if it's worth the pop-gun armament?

[Gunmage]

Flamers? No, really?

[Dead Baron]

Oooh something new other than flamers.

Flamers, always the sign of a fun battle in MechCommander Online!

Hmm this reminds me of similar med mechs.
Something like the Hermes should have flamer and AC2.

Half of that hill texture is missing. But it's beta, so it's normal.

P.S: The full size picture finally works for me. Try it.

That looks more like a land slide then a broken graphics. But yes, you are right, it is still in beta so it is hard to say which of the two it really is.

But looks good, and I too wonder what really is going on there. Some sort of EWAR I'd be guessing.

CENTURION!!!!

Not missing pay closer attention - Rick slide..Look at the bottom and you'll notice the rubble pile

Based on the angle above the other mech and close proximity I would guess it went into Jumpjets.

i smell cheating!!! :-D

ross... did you enter "impulse 101" in the console again ??? tztztztztztztz.... what a shame...

for everyone who hasn't noticed:
the indicators for ammo in the bottom right corner show unlimited ammo for the ac2 and the lrm5...

[Tyranneous]

Anyone else notice that this looks like a free for all battle since those missles on the right seem to be headed for the dragon but the radar shows as enemy. either that or could be a narrow dodge

Anyone else notice the Cent was light on Weapons?
Normal (Standard Variant) is AC/10 , 2 Med Lasers and an LRM10.
This one shows an AC/2, 2 Flamers and an LRM5... Makes it 8.5 Tons light!

[MrMasakari]

Nice to know, the Centurion is here

[Fomorian]

Looks like the Centurion is playing King of the Hill by the radar map

[Wildcat]

Unlimited Ammo! I call HAX !

[Blackfang]

oooh Centurion, ingame external screenie of centurion please would love to see him

[Amechwarrior]

Is it just me or have the 6 weapon grouping pips changed? They are around the reticles like two spaced out brackets " ( o ) " instead of the strait lines " |o| " in the older screenshots. All previous weeks screenshots have the old layout, is this another HUD change new to this screenshot?

[HappyDumpling]

I don't mind the yellow color, but i find the HUD is very cluttered. The addition of the six weapon indicators, the target name, and other info for me is too much in front of your face. Especially since it's displayed in other parts of the cockpit. A HUD should be bare bones vital info during combat. Even if the compass track was pushed up to the top of the canopy like in the past it would open things up quite a bit.

Uhhu, the resulting engine upgrade has made it so fast that those missiles you can see heading in from the right were in fact fired from this same centurion only moments before!

[Calon Farstar]

Ohh I cant wait to pilot a Centurion. Great sneak up behind you mech. Thanks!! Keep up the good work.
