Dear Devs,

I have been in the beta since august and have always been bothered by a critical issue.

The lack of Mech Spinning!

If anybody here has played Eve Online or World of Tanks they know it is almost impossible to play for great lengths of time without the ability to spin your ship or tank.

So I here by open this thread for all the people in the beta to come and show there support for this issue.

Please leave a remark on why you think we need Mech Spinning ASAP!

this is relevant to my intrest i agree

[Carnivoris]

Can you elaborate on what you mean by spinning? Are you talking about just turning the mech around really fast? If so, then, no, I disagree with you. It would make no sense.

EDIT: Looked it up. Yeah, it'd be nice to spin our mechs more freely in the mechbay to look at stuff. It's not high on my list of preferred things the devs do, though.

Sorry dude. I dunno what you're talking about. The spinning I know... it's from the 80s.

Nope!

I mean when you are sat in your mech bay you can spin the camera around your mech and look at the shiny.

Free camera in the mechbay would be neat.

When I'm running my Jenner I will often spin in the air while someone is chasing me to force their shots to rake every part of my armor. I've gotten good at doing a 360 while jumping over a building/ to a new height and landing facing the same way.

[Taryys]

Critical... not even close.

A nice fluffy thing, sure.

I think we may end up seeing that either when they implement the camo this month or with the UI rework in Jan.

Not quite what I meant...

Seriously? Has no one played Eve Online or World of Tanks?

Your first post was so incredibly vague I decided to use my own interpretation.

As a veteran ship and tank spinner, have recently found myself bored with this game and am likely to quit in protest and resume my secondary bike-riding entertainment.

[Purlana]

How would you spin a mech?

See this guys gets it.



Here this is an example of Eve Online Ship Spinning.

Now I think we need this for the mech bay to make it more interesting.

Mech spinning is coming with the camouflage system. Just in time, too. I was about to ask for a full refund and a formal letter of apology for having played this game for months without such a crucial feature.

i'll just leave this here....

[Congzilla]

Yes please.

[Matte Black]

I read in one Dev post that this feature is coming soon, I think it had to do with the new paintshop update.

So much for getting exercise.
