Would have been happier without the extra low energy slots... gotta rethink since the build I wanted won't work due to slots.

What build do you want?

Switch equipment of Arms with ST.

Guess you can do 3LPL 6ERML, and that'll be the only build you'll see that's a threat.

The first time seeing it all together:

So why are you showing us the picture of Canyon Network instead of the mech?

I'm thinking 4 LPL and 5 ERML and eat the ghost heat.

Waiting to see quirks, but with 9 hardpoints there are tons of options

I think laser vomit will be good, but not great, on the Stalker, since it really has terrible agility and mobility compared to the heavy laser vomit mechs.

Yeah that's how I feel about the Supernova vs the heavy laser vomit mechs. Curious to see the quirks. Only a couple of the IS heavy laser boats have 9E, so it will be interesting to see what it can pull off.

Ok, enough stuff is now in and running that I can use the mechlab, and finally answer that earlier question about side torso weapon placement.

The bad news: EH2 has been moved down to where the Misery's ballistic slot is.

So yeah, sorry about that. I know you were all looking forward to putting PPC's in those high mounts....



Which you can still do!
Based on feedback, it was decided that the stalker wasn't as good as what some people are expecting out of these packs, and we've added 2 extra energy hardpoints to the side torsos, so you can toss anything into EH1 and EH2 to push those peeps up to EH3. There should be a more formal announcement of this on friday, along with an update to the store page.

Looks interesting and gets a 'Like' on your post from me! It caused me to have a possible idea, albeit a potentially unpopular one. So that whatever enjoyment-enhancing Quirks which are intended to be with the Mech can still be properly issued (I really want all of your hard work, effort, and dedication which you put into developing this to not end up getting wasted, as I have extremely appreciated seeing all of it!), why not remove the Side Torso Energy Hardpoints in the modeling for the STK-7D which are placed at the same height as the STK-M's Ballistic location? (I believe you're calling them the EH2 position?) There would then be one down low and one up high, without the one in the middle, and the final design might not end up with the near-Quirk-less treatment which the STK-3FB Variant currently appears to have. (My thoughts about Quirks however are only based upon what I currently see from the In-Game Store at this time, so I admit that I could be completely off-base here!) Or is there either a Technical Difficulty blocking doing something like that, or perhaps some kind of Cauldron Quirk Set for the Stalker incoming which I have not heard of at this time, or possibly some other creative decision that resulted in going for 12 Hardpoints (9E+2M+1AMS) on there that I really am not getting?

Dude... You have to be trolling. The whole Mech and its' Bolt-Ons are literally right in the center of the view. You're teasing us, aren't you?

It's the meme about camouflage being invisible.

OK, now you are just showing off.

Well, at least it's not a floating lifeboat in the middle of Canyon Network for some reason.

Sorry, I just usually work in canyon for the even lighting. I should have put it on forest colony snow.

Gorgeous work!

That color scheme for the special variant PXH looks suspiciously familiar, I feel there's more than meets the eye going on there...

You'd be right, because the OG Jetfire used the same model as the OG PXH

HI Mark
KEWL name same as my brother, i wanted to tell you, that i have built a few mechs, more then few years ago, and we used Teamspeak, and chatted and started using blacks, the browns, and sprinkel of of white, something to match each map, i mostly run Black color, do some work on true stealth.
IT is great to own a 69 chevelle chevy, in true light blue, full 350 and magnum rims and all, but also ARMY, and i like to hunt, the 1 think that made use who we are, but there are few who want the hunting colors, like hidden, or the guys in black, deer season is coming soon, good luck in the north : )
