not really sure about those huge billboards

at least a "shoot me" decal would look good on them


btw
whats this supposed to be?

who went with "this looks good"?

so its a low and a high hump?

Ho. Li. ***.

Asymmetric shoulder cannons? WHY PGI, WHY?

Also shoulder cannons and arm boxes look HUGE.. hope you give extra armor or structure points, cose' they will be super easy to hit..

Also, who's bright idea was to make the two energy slots in the arms stand side by side instead of one on top of the other when both (only 2) are installed into a vertical-looking arm box?

Seriously guys, are you intentionally trying to make this beautiful design look ugly?

I'm guessing their "competent" modelers are all working on MW5, and we're left with the dregs who think that cancerboxes are the best things since the VCR and that all things must be as chunky and fugly as possible.

Look at what they did to the Firestarter and the Banshee. Granted, the banshee wasn't great to begin with but they somehow managed to make it both functionally and aesthetically worse at the same time.

Wth happened to the shoulder-mounted weapons?! THEY ARE HUUUGE, did the artist modeling the mech in 3D even look at the concept art...they are like half the size there. Come on how can you screw up on something as crucial as this?

I really hope you guys didnt get to overzealous on making the ST hitboxes big, because then this is another mech for the scrap heap...was looking forward to this mech, but watching the mechlab video carefully, im pretty bummed out now =(

This is what you get for preordering a mech based on concept art, shouldhave learned by now...

Let me sing for you the song of my people, the song of the whale.
Hhhhaaaaaooooooowwwww Coooooouuuuuuulld yyyyyyyoooooUUUUUU?

I put $70 on this. I knew I shouldn't have, I knew that the concept art tends to be 10 times better than the in-game model... but for some reason I thought they were going to follow some of the basic tenants laid out in the concept art. Well, frak me I guess?

My fiancee and I have this financial tracking system where everything goes into house, savings, bills, insurance, etc. and then at the end of the month we split what little is left over into our "personal" funds. I don't usually have much, because I tend to put it towards supporting smaller developers (like the guys behind BattleTech, Wasteland 2, Divinity Original Sin 2, etc.). I really need to stop putting those limited funds towards PGI all the time. I could be supporting so many more developers and getting a lot more bang for my buck.

Man I really need to learn my lesson.

Request a refund from support. I'm thinking of doing so, but the c-bill sale value of 3x 360XL engines + the chassis + the 6.5 million preorder bonus almost makes it worth keeping the base package just to sell everything off for cbills.

They need to start fixing this mess by shrinking down those shoulder mounts and making the barrels extend further out in front like this mech is supposed to look.

[Tier5 Kerensky]

Im intrested to see if this mech could change a bit the balance of assults. It has some good points to it but not overly superior hardpoints.

Since this is an omni, you can't change the engine afaik.

[Arkhangel]

finding it hilarious someone's whining about the modelers screwing up the Blood Asp's "beautiful design" when it honestly looks EXACTLY like it apart from the arms and shoulder barrels being shorter. the Blasp was always ugly. It was just also brutally enough armed to massacre anyone or anything who'd get mouthy about it.

@Buena: you can't, as swapping the engine on an Omni would require a complete rebuild and redesign of the mech. price you pay for the weapon and module flexibility of an Omni. just be glad there isn't repair and rearm anymore. Omnis cost like five times as much to repair, one of their other weaknesses. this is also why Clans have a fair number of BattleMechs despite their preference for OmniMechs. They're far easier to maintain.

Huh...big difference on those shoulder barrels compared to the concept art. I didn't pre-order this one because I figured the huge barrels, while they looked cool, would have made the torsos an easy target. Now, with snub-nosed barrels, assuming the hit boxes are otherwise decent, I'll have to reconsider it.

Well, after watching the video and seeing the still photos above, I'll wait to see if they improve it at all or if it still ends up being a beast on the battlefield.

ST fix or I riot.

And what exactly are you fixing?
More information would be greatly appreciated!

[Navid A1]

So PGI... Give me ONE reason for any other Blood Asp variant to even exist when BAS-A has a CT with both ECM and JJ... while the only way to get JJs in other variants is to lose torso weapons!!!!

Thank you for letting us know that you guys are aware of our concerns and are addressing them Matt!
Not all game devs do that, so good on you.

[Manei Domini Krigg]

You threw a piece of meat to feed Annie in D1
Really BloodAsp must be in D2 in S7 games.

Will coming any changes of divisions (mech moving to other divisions)?

Little details?

So, you don't get it.
You should fix those 2 big, fat, huge and enormous "details" called shoulders

Thanks to all involved. You know, if you guys showed models earlier than a week before release that could be avoided.

God forbid the best ballistic mounts in the game have any downside at all.

[LordLosh]

Glad you guys might be fixing the little things that will make this make look alot better over all
I knew it would be D1 Solaris mech but again those patch notes better shake some things up Solaris wise or this will all be a big joke and waste of time. NO mech 1v1 with a decent pilot in it will beat an Annihilators. This mech will be no different and put up no better of a fight. All t1 is, is Annihilators it's boring and stale. Same with some of the other division's once you get a higher elo if you don't bring that mech you auto lose
