So I thought I would go ahead and ask the obvious question and opine.

Now if i remeber correctly its a targeting system for missles or I may have it confused with something different.
I think it is that, based on the videos i have seen, and much more than just a targeting system, but a whole team based target painting and firesupport system. If you notice in the videos that are released, the catipult is fireing at targets that are behind walls and not in line of sight. Also, in the atlas video, hes fighting a catipult varrient and shooting missils at a distant target while hes aiming at the closer mech.

I am not in beta and this is all just a guess, but i bet there has to do with something like smaller ships having a beagle prob or something, and, for the lack of a better word, paint a target. Making it possible for others to shoot and kill it from a far. Such as missles. Thats why they go up and then come down on most of the lrms or even the srms. Just at shorter range. Although, I think there involves some skill to this cause they dont alwasy hit and they dont always seem to track perfectly.

I for one am interested to see what they have at E3.

Artemis IV is thing that attaches to missile racks to increase accuracy that probably only works when you have line of sight.

TAG Is probably the thing that lets you use a scouts LOS to direct Indirect LRM fire

NARC is the attached missile thing that lets Arrow IVs target you.

TAG and NARC might be inter changeable for helping Arrow IV and Indirect LRM fire. That would make both of them much more useful.

I bet it's all a post E3 option for us who couldn't be there... might be wrong.

Colors and other parts of image look like the images of the Mechs we already know. In the upper middle is a part which looks like a head. Suqare form and two antennae. Could be a Zeus or Highlander. Hard to tell, considering that they will not exactly look like the images in the hardware handbooks.

No. In these parts of the Universe waiting is frowned upon.

Artemis IV is a system that makes missile launchers more accurate, doesnt make the missiles more likely to hit but when you do hit more missiles will hit your target. It requires an "attack" roll to lock on in order to be effective however.
