Crab also has has magnetic ST's, unlike the Cicada.

Really?

I've played 10 games with it and I've changed al the STD engines to XL ones. I tried to torso twist hard only to find that the Ct eats all the damage.

Maybe I'm doing wrong but I'm only died of a ST loss once.

I'm not making a list. Even that wouldn't help. lol demonstrating how STK CPLT CN9s compare in volume to each other did didly and squat to 'help' stop people talking out their asses about comparison mech volumes

Yeah you need pro 3dee skillz being able to make an enclosed mesh, it's not like you can just press a couple buttons and several programs will basically do it for you.

I mean its fine, if it can't be done for all the mechs feasibly then theres no point. We might as well count on approximations at that point anyways

I've been running all of my crabs with XL, I can twist well enough, still in the end it's been the ST that has killed me each time. By that point most of my components are armor-less. I've actually gone out of my way to face shots in a fire fight to catch some in the CT. ISYN. Only 5-6 games with crabs, but that's my experience so far.

Trying to make a habit of raising my arms up when I flee, and twist, while facing nose down, in order to shield more with arms. Here's a screen shot of my technique in game-

Pretty similar to mine. I also scream...

I'd just like to point out that nobody is even trying to compare the crab to the Hunchback, which was considered the decent size when comparing the Cent and Treb when they came out.

Crab isn't even in that league...

I'd rather scale down oversized mediums. Come on, how many Trebuchets, Kintaros and Griffins you see these days?

I have found his post, and it's actually quite good, he remodeled a completely closed and hollow model using dynamesh in zbrush that fits pretty well in size and posted the volumes of Catapult and Stalker.

I compared hist values with those I got for the Catapult, and unfortunately, the mesh overlap seems to be considerable, so much that my data is useless.

That last part is more due to the laser meta than mech size. Missile hardpoints are just not worth much at the moment.

Just looked through the cockpit of a Kitfox... into the cockpit of the Crab.


If you think this mech is the right size.. you are out of your bloody mind. (OR, it's your favorite mech and you just want to make sure you can still be the OddJob to everyone else's Jaws)

Its def small. People are rationalizing

I would much rather get appropriate quirk buffs than, a mech that skews the already terrible mech scale in this game

The Crab seems appropriately sized next to a Hunchback, its a little skinnier but has that long nose. Close enough for government work.

The whole "I looked at it through my cockpit" argument is pretty weak, perspective is a thing you know. Not too mention, Kit Fox is too big compared to other 30 tonners.

Seriously.. its not a big deal, stop complaining.

[STEF_]

It's only me or the ones wanting a big Crab want another big sub-par medium easy to instagib?

Does it seem smart to you, qquing whiners?

Also, keep in mind that the Kit Fox won the re-scale votes (and pushed the Centurion out of them, that filthy clan scum!) and will get down-scaled at a later date.
That won't stop clanners whining about them (they'll whine about the Adder then), but hey, it's something, right?

The torso is not long enough to justify it being the same height and width as a Jenner...

Good thing it's not the same height and width as a Jenner, then.
