Can't wait to see a full lance do a shield-wall push. Just need melee now.....

[Davegt27]

I asked one of the lore guys and he could not find a BFS (big fat shield) on the IS Centurion


he did show me this

anyways I don't think its a bad idea but subtracting 4 tons for that shield is not something I would do

The Centurion for the most part is an outdated seldom used Mech
I would allow the same load out on the left arm as on the right arm
or just add weapon hard points to the left arm

still better make both arms functional
now if you add 5 tons to the Cent to compensate for the big fat shield I might consider buying one \
other wise paint that thing Gold

CN11-0D. It's a Dark Age Centurion design with a medium shield and a hatchet.

I wants the Centurion with the shield!

And I wants that big sword for melee for MWO too

is that an Omni mech ??

[w0qj]

It hope the new Dire Wolf would be an omnimech, with ECM in CT (but no JJ).

Yep IS Omni. There's a CN11-0 through CN11-0E. I think only the 0D has the shield.

Does the shield help with heat dissipation? Kind of like the winged battlemechs in Battletech. Can you imagine looking through infrared at it, if it did?

One thing to note on this!

As you see, the shield takes up 5 slots in the Left Arm. It also takes up 4 tons. This is not equipment you can toggle, it is locked. We thought that making the shields actual equipment with locked tonnage and slots was the best way to ensure that these remained balanced as they're not "free" additions. Your mech has to pay something for that wall!

If we end up making more shield mechs down the road, we have a table built for Small, Medium, and Large shields with how much they will weigh and how many slots they'll take to keep things consistent.



who hurt you

You people hurt us a lot. It's a standard thing, release a mech make it tough.... and eventually nerf it. The Scattershot as an example, but then mocking people with who hurt you? We do expect better, lol


Otherwise an Upgraded Wang. I mean the Wang could just get the rest of the weapons it should have already had...

This won't get nerfed. It's balanced. Cauldron learns by mistakes, and the recent legends have been better balanced.

Also, the wang can run uacs better than the onyx

Standard thing that happened... once.

Also theres no logic for it. If you want to sell OP mechs theres no reason to nerf them it'll just hurt sales.

[JediPanther]

Just give it one super buff laser hard point and it'll be fine. Remove all those other junk hard points. I'm sure it'll sell.

It's a G U N D A M !!

With the buffs the 1A1 got this last patch it can put some serious hurt out in the right scenarios. It's MXPL levels of output without the heat concerns. Hilarious stuff.

I dusted off my stripped Charger 1A1 after stripping it in disgust a long time ago.

I use a TC for 10% range, with maxed cool down and range skills. Cool down is now .7 seconds for ERSM.

Optimal on that build is 380M -- for a big LOL

Yeah it gets toasty, but drilling people with ERSM lasers at 450M or less and an assault going 90KPH is priceless. Gotta do face time with it though. It's only 26.5 alpha every ( .7 burn + .6 cool down = 26.5 damage every) 1.1 seconds.

I hate running assaults, but I'm really loving my charger now. It's still a close in face time brawler, but if you play it correctly, it's fun.

Yeah but you have to have thermal paste, and that adds another 2 tons, so no.

Wake me up when MWO2 is announced using the Unreal 5 engine. I can find a 100 bill for it and a "legendary founder" icon.

Could do that with the Phoenix Hawk.

Problem is that, it's already tonnage starved,

Maybe the Phoenix IIC though, at least it'll be different from the almost Hunchback-IIC torso ballistics.

a shield. you have my attention.
