And if you have the time or inclination, the Cicada vs King Crab.

I want to believe those are scaled right to each other and would be a good starting point, but man I feel like im going to be surprised at the results.

Well, they have yet to finish/address the last mech that hasn't gotten the dynamic visual hardpoints.... the Stalker.

which has what to do with my comment?

Fup commented on the NVA and CPLT. Those are going to be worked on starting in a little over a week. Nothing more, nothing less.

So, ya know, just what is the price of Tea in China?

Apparently about 50 cents.

And its interesting, the price of tea in china, relates directly to the price of electronics made in China, since their controlled market is heavily manipulated to keep prices where the Chinese Government wants it.

So with consumer items like Tea, you can tell when there are price dives or hikes, that concurrent rises falls will happen in their exports.

Totally relevant.

I'm not even sure why you are so worked up on a slight tangent.

The Stalker in some ways is benefiting from the current skewed scaling. In fact, the running joke is that the Stalker is the size of a Catapult, when viewed from the front. In some ways it's similar to what a Marauder looks like from the front.. just minus the durability or effectiveness of a Stalker (they serve different roles and whatnot, but I'm strictly talking about shape/size - like the joke Marauder vs Nova comparison).

The only thing you should honestly hope for is a proper revamping of the Catapult's (missile) "ear"/arm hardpoints as part of the entire process.

Who's worked up?

Asked a simple question...what remote point were you trying to make toward my comment?

Not sure how you equate that to getting in a tizzy, unless you are projecting your own feelings into things?

As for the Rescale, I would comment that you have no more actual info as to what to expect than I do. All I pointed out is that they ARE getting rescaled, forthwith.

Again. Fupdup commented on something. I pointed out that those mechs are going to be addressed starting shortly. So what possible point are you trying to make in regard to that about the Stalker?

What, that becuase they haven't done the dynamic hardpoints on it, that they won't do the rescale? That they shouldn't?

Could you IDK...actually explain the point you're trying to make?

[Kraftwerkedup]

Well if past performance is evidence, id say the rescale is going to be a dud.

If its not evidence, then no one has any idea what to expect.

Clearly theres scaling problems now.

Well, I have these old Nova files, we can compare (inside out/side by side) the new one to it.


Should be a nice comparison.


Getting started on the Stalker Cat Mad now.

which makes have they rescaled in the past?

[Mcgral18]

First up, we've got the Stalker+MAD+Cat
This what you want for a side profile Bishop?

These are neat! I'd be interested in seeing the crab side profile vs the nova front profile. I know the nova is getting a rescale, but I'm just curious how a big front profile mech compares to a big side profile mech.

Ive always wanted to know.


And man...they arent good. PGI that is. At well... anything.


EDIT:

Oh and Banshee vs Atlas if you got the time.

Soon™

Banshee VS Atlas first:

Close enough. Damn sight better than the Victor/MAD

BNC VS Cent


Well, nearly double the weight, and certainly wide, but not the worst comparison I've seen.

I'll be quite honest: I prefer the Quad UAC look on the Cicada.

now go on the open street and ask people what kind of tonnage class these would be.

I would say Assault, medium, heavy

How about MAD vs. KGC? They look similar, one is really wide, and scarily enough the KGC can approach lower end MAD speeds (heh!) and still pack quad AC/5. Had one such build latch onto me last night and he put up a h*ll of a fight.

mix in some zeus in there...

Specific comparisons?

Errors start happening (textures disappear) when too many things pop in.
I've not fully tested just what the breaking point is, but specific mechs simplify things.

I think I've got the import procedure down, so it's much faster to do now (and also have a set of working Import texts, which means instant models).

[zagibu]

You should remove the weapons or maybe only add those of the standard variants. All those overlapping weapons make stuff hard to see.

Also that Grasshopper and Highlander are the LOD models, which have much less polygons and are used to replace the regular meshes at higher distances.

[Fox With A Shotgun]

How about Kit Fox vs Urbanmech? Or hell, Kit Fox vs any IS light mech x.x
