It has plentiful and flexible hardpoints. It's got plenty of tonnage to work with. It's gonna be on the slow side for a medium, especially a clan medium.

It's all going to come down to it's scale and hitboxes. Those side torsos look huge, and if they try to make the hitboxes smaller it's just going to make the CT bigger...

Like Coralld said, hopefully they'll make those huge things part of the arms instead of side torsos?

I am actually expecting it to be about as tall as the Cent, personally. Side on, the thing is about as thin, but the arms are less bulky than the centurion.

The torso area is chunkier than the Cent in the way that the torso protrudes both FWD and AFT, so it will be shorter but not by a huge amount.

Well, at least you'd be piloting a Clan Nova Cat mech in the same sort of state as any true Nova Cat pilot would.

Does that mean if he was shooting up that would make him more like Clan Goliath Scorpion?

At least make the side of those things part of the arm, that would help a lot I would think.

How is that even a question?

Some call fighting while under the influence questionable, but I say if you can fight while high as hell...

... what was the question again?

I find it awesome we can now look at how a mech is shaped, taking its known tonnage, and have a very reasonable chance at guessing exactly how big it will be in the game.

Indeed! Takes an element of guesswork out of upcoming mechs.
