It's not like Battletech fans are notoriously obsessive and pedantic or anything.

Sarcasm is like imaginary numbers. It behaves really oddly at various levels. Read on my friends!

Intended meaning vs inflection given. Can really screw with people. I love it!

the overworked QA editor came in to work Monday before Mondo Patch and probably got an earful.... I feel kinda bad now.

Then they should work on you!

And that's why I wish PGI could make those grubby hands on IS 'Mech useful (actually all hand actuators which Clanners like to remove on their OmniMechs for more space and possibly better hitbox). Coupled with knockdown and melee, a lot of IS BattleMechs will have some advantage over Clan OmniMechs like easier time to get up.

I know that Bandito has been proposing a bonus to climb with hands actuator on, but it's like... I dunno....

An IS "shield" component would be nice. +24 armor for that mech in that arm. Weighs 1.5 tons and costs 1m C-bills.

[Alex Morgaine]

Shields technically exist (lv3 tech for solaris arena mostly iirc)
Light medium and large shields. But it does play hell with what weapons you can fire when using a shield. And might need a hand actuator iirc

I get it, I missed the sarcasm and the intent behind this thread and made a meme that I misspelled and felt vindicated finally after ranting for so long about how the new bigger sizes are not what I was at all expecting or wanting. This is my fault entirely and I was stoned and very excited to see you concede.

I @#$%ED up, but don't call me weak minded.

If the jump-jet intake thingies aren't actually hitboxes, it may not be too bad

They have been confirmed to be part of the ST but considering the mech has next to zero side torso i think it will be a good thing.

also like the homage to Skull Leader Marik paintjob.

But am curious why I have tires spinning inside my cockpit and oil filters in the ceiling....

I can see the wheels turning, Bishop...

I really love how this mech looks.

I get we're not talking about that here, etc, but every time I see a screenshot of it, my heart skips a beat.

Or maybe I'm just dying.

Either way, it's a damn sexy mech.

I like it more every time I look at it.

Positivity - I love it. Keep it up Winter!!! And yes, it is a pretty sweet mech. I like how, in the review, the pilot weapon sweeps to the left and you can see the right handed barrels in your peripheral view. Not bad for a *cough* 40 ton mech *cough cough*

Huh, it's ok for you to call me a hypocrite......

Interesting.

And, again, look to context. Was I responding to you, dude? HINT: Look at who I quoted. Hint #2: It wasn't You.

There are rules in TT for picking up 20% of your mech's weight... I've had an Atlas use a Locust as a club to kill another mech...

How did you pick up the robot? Do you have to make another roll for picking up a moving machine? o.0

I am thrilled to say that this mech will receive an overwhelming volley of fire and the impressively tall air intakes on the side torsos will combust in quite the joyful array of colours!

You white knight so hardcore on this forum I was chomping at the bit for a chance to savagely slay you

When someone is as wrong as you are about unbias, fair, balanced sizing it infuriates me

Sorry I called you a hypocrite, I just get so sick of the zealous nature of your white knighting that I figure you're a hypocrite when you say things like "I'm going to go play WoT thats how badly PGI has @#$%ed up" when people spend a part of every day painting a picture of a minimally viable product and all the things wrong with it. Willfully ignorant or hypocrite isn't too far fetched when you make a sarcastic post about the 'size' of something being wrong with whatever the intent after spending all day defending the Volume Control they're using to resize things.

Whoa. First off, he has been joking around in this thread. Second off, even if you are right, and he is being a hypocrite, what gives you the right to personal attacks? If you are that unhappy, then leave. Don't let the door hit you in the ***.
