Looks like you can do a pretty slick 3 ERLL combo between the head and torso mounts there...

Think about it, if ED comes, that would actually be viable and *NOT* hot as ****

Yeah, it'll be badass for ridgehumping. The ST ballistics will be crazy for dual goosewaffle builds too.

A sad misuse of the chassis, but you could also mount a tag on the head mount and lurm from behind hills extremely effectively.

The ST's slots are not enough for a GR.

Really? I know it's slot constrained, but didn't think it was THAT slot constrained. What's in the ST's?

Why doesn't it have arms?

Only 5 crit slots on the STs. Dem Endo+Ferro+4JJs combo do need some space.

It has the following locked gear (i cba to differentiate between ES and FF crits)

RA: crits x2, 8 slots free
LA: crits x2, 8 slots free
RT: crits x5, XL engine, 5 slots free
LT: crits x5, XL engine, 5 slots free
RL: 2xJJ
LL: 2xJJ
HD: 1 free slot
CT: 2 free slots

Thanks folks

i just want to see if you can pack like 7 uac2's and ammo on the thing not effective but it'll be funny. I also wonder where the head ams for the B will be located. please tell me it doesn't mount to the hole. then we'd have a unicorn

Does the thought of its possible majestic beauty intimidate you?

The hole in the Head was an issue with the Jade Kite OmniPod specifically, which has been fixed since I captured that GIF. Running without an Energy weapon in that hardpoint (or using a Head OmniPod with no hardpoint) caps it.

You can see the fixed Head in this new image from the patch notes:

Good to hear, thanks!

[Audacious Aubergine]

I'm loving all of this mech so far

[Desintegrator]

Oh man - where is the -50% ER-PPC heat quirk !

With this actual quirks you can forget this Mech !

Welp, you guys fixed the holy head issue.

DAMMMIT PGI NOW I CAN'T COMPLAIN!

But but... The arms They're too short lengthwise compared to the concept art and orthos, although the side view of the orthos doesn't show the arms.

Mmm, it's a taste, typically I despise stubby arms, but I think this looks better with stubbier ones. But either design looks good.
That said...Those LRMS..Beaut.

[Juodas Varnas]

You know... Seeing all these new mechs with decent looking weapon geometry...
Then looking back at my Trebuchets, Centurions, etc...

Gosh...
I hope you guys decide to make another geometry pass on them.

Indeed, talk about sacraliege. those lrms . but with an above cockpit tag you can fire lrm's with tag bonus from almost total safety. As for the stubby arms, they are just long and fat/thick/tall/wide.... enough to totally cover the CT and most of the ST from the sides. it's BEAUTIFUL.

Those LRM mounts are beautiful. Wish I could stick more in the arms and torsos.
