The dual Heavy Gauss capable variants must be able to compete with the currently good performing Annihilator ANH-1X with its 6 7 energy hardpoints.

That model looks kind of awful. How the heck did this original artwork morph into something that's 75% legs??

Not going to be any discussion on weapon/equipment balance, ghost heat balance, FP update, or Tier calculation formula (for matchmaking) I'm guessing? You know.. the topics that no one cares about anyways...

This looks outstanding, excellent job.

[RazerThrone07]

BattleTech is a turn-based lucrative Kickstarter campaign of tactical game-play, which has a ridiculous price tag.
Dollars on hold until BattleTech II or Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries coming out soon, will offer strategy, tactics, in a first-person format, Solaris 7.

because that Design is about 70% legs? not a great leap.

Left or right?

I so much hope message will be "MWO is not dead, we will work on new features, we will fix some suboptimal designs, we will make CW great again for the first time. Finally, your waiting bears fruits!".
I hope it will not be like "Okay guys, what the hell you want from us? And here's why you can't have it. Look! - Solaris, shiny"...

Alrighty, will be 0400 night for me, but i'll tune in.

Yeah, good luck leading and hitting anything that moves with both gauss slugs. The convergence is terrible.

I can't tell a difference. Care to elaborate on the point you're trying to make?

[Marius Evander]

Hope Matt has informed russ of all the unanswered / forgotten questions / issues in the road map thread and russ will address them.

The left one, the torso's and arms , the whole top of the mech is a lot wider.

Both have legs too wide imo and diaper too big.

[Alexandra Hekmatyar]

Woop I like these podcasts.

Left is a fraction narrower and taller, an effort to avoid Nightstar Syndrome

I'm liking the look of it either way. It's just this huge simplistic box on legs with a pair of the heaviest mech mounted ballistic weapons available - doesn't really need to be anything else (but convergence and side torsos and hit boxes and DOA and whatever just get an Annihilator then if the Fafnir is such a travesty to you)

Have to say the model looks good.. I'm pleasantly surprised they didn't mess up the huge torso gauss holes..

Hope there will be a transcript of video of the production update available..

[Nesutizale]

When will the Podcast be on youtube as they are to late in the night for me to watch.
PS: Thanks for posting in UTC too
