In my opinion ComStar fell from grace when they stopped just preserving knowledge but started actively trying to stop the Houses from recovering that knowledge.

Solid quirks, I approve

I like quirks that give a mech a certain roll with weapons, but hate velocity quirks of any kind. Velocity quirks are a crutch pure and simple. It does not fix any weapons that are lacking in usefulness and fundamentally changes a weapon. A PPC that goes 1100m/s is not the same as one that moves 1500m/s.

If PGI wants the Warhammer to be good at PPCs, They could use any kind of quirk that makes them shot farther, shot more often, run cooler, or whatever makes a PPC better on a certain chassis. Velocity quirks are not one of them in my opinion.

Would like the core velocity of ERPPCs the be 30% faster then normal PPCs. ERPPC could be used as a sniper weapon with higher heat and the PPC could be a mid range weapon that can fire more often with less heat. Each PPC type would have their roll because they are fundamentally different from each other.

They are considering more than stock loadout. It's quirked for what people are probably going to actually run on it.

I'm surprised by how resistant people are to this concept.

HAH HA HA That gif!

Well played, I chuckled .

[Merit Lef]

Spot on with that gif. LOL

Until the official post is made...

Holy ****, Buccaneer looks amazing on that thing.

[AbyssalTyrant]

Cockpit looks nice and open, good.

Cockpit looks great, I kind of miss the early MWO cockpit style but this one really drives home that its an old war machine.
Can't wait for those cockpit screens to get finished though, they looks so cartoony :<

So since Conrad?

The hype is real for Tuesday!

Wait when did PPC quirks also stand for erppc like someone said? Because the awesome 9m still says erppc for quirks.

Love the "stinger" on the size comparison video.

Not sure if "I see what you did there"...

You should know better than to use the word "stinger" in an anticipatory thread for a long missing unseen. You could incite a riot!

Honestly, my knowledge of the history of the Unseen is little to none. Stinger is the going term for additional footage after credits in movies, so I used the term. If there is a 'Stinger' mech, I won't know about it till they preview it here.

Those structures with the round form and pink tops at the end of the cockpit preview video remind me of something...

For a while from what a friend told me, so mechs with a ER PPC quick are actually a little less optimize considering you can't downgrade to a regular PPC to save on heat without loosing the quirk. It kinda makes sense in universe, PPC mechs wouldn't suffer from having more range while mechs purpose built for Extended Range PPC may have trouble with their DI Computer compensating for the limited range.

Here are some faction pattern previews, before the official post is made...

Stinger??

A stinger is a short clip shown after the main video ends. Usually meant for showing sneak peeks. It's considered as a kind of secret put into the video as most people stop watching too quickly and never see it.
