So, tell me, what exactly is it about the Pretty Baby that's bad?

Theoretically one could run 3x SRM6 + 2x ERPPC/ LPL + XL360-375 on it and have adequate heatsinks or the speed of a clan heavy when tweaked, on an 80 ton assault.

It also kept it's structure quirks, so it's got 75 CT and 52 LT/ RT structure.

Also, the Awesome seems to be smaller than the Cataphract, and has the same torso size as the wankhammer.

>>150496709

>>150500946
For the Bushwacker or Mk. II?

>>150500992
Both, neither have enough variants for even the 3 minimum, let alone the 6 variants minimum they do these days.

>>150501045
The Bushwacker only needs one more variant, and they'll just make like an "X3", and a Hero like they have before. It'll probably offer ECM, or something stupid like a laser centric build. It just has to have a slightly different hardpoint spread from the other two. It doesn't need a "reinforcements" add-on like the Clan packs, it'll be just like the Marauder, Warhammer, Rifleman, Archer packs.

As for the Mk. II they'll either have to be really creative, or the time line jump is going to be... interesting, to say the least.

>gladiator academy is dead.

>>150509169
Bushwacker will get stupid quirks, and people will buy it in droves even if it is a shitmech.

>>150509169
The Bushwacker isn't really a shitmech, it would perform alright. A 4M variant would be likely, and 1B per side torso is good enough for a 55 tonner.

Mad Cat MK II doesn't have to take the JJs, could take a big Clan XL engine, and has plenty of great hardpoints.

>>150508704
Different anon, but no, I don't. The Bushwacker would never be like it was in MW3, and the Mad cat mk2 is just an inferior version of the Blood Asp.

>>150509169
The bushwacker would benefit from having an incredibly small profile it would probably be about the size of a 45 tonner were 50 tonner that was one of its major quirks in tabletop.

>>150510538
MK2 and Blood Asp are very different robots in terms of loadout potential

>>150511481
Yeah, the MadCat mk2 isn't an omnimech, so that'd lend it the ability to get bigger guns, while the blood asp can pull off more.

But we already have a clan 90 ton battlemech in the highlander, the game needs a 90 ton omnimech.

>>150512720
We won't be getting the Blood Asp so you better start liking the Kingfisher if you want a 90t Omni

>>150512974
Eh, give it omnipod variants that leg it put lasers into the head, center and side torsos and it'll function kinda okay as a zombie-'goyle.

Give it atlas level structure quirks and it'll be pain in the ass to actually kill.

>>150512720
I guess the mad cat 2 could do dual gauss or dual ac20, which the huelander can't do.

>>150517303
The kodiak would still outshine it in that role, and would be more commonly picked thanks to the ludicrously high mounts.

>>150517705
Yeah but it could also bring srms with the big gun dubs. I guess that's something no other mech could do.

>>150518261
>bringing 2x SRM6's/ S-SRM6's with gauss + LPL/ ERPPC

C'mon now.

>>150518442
>not building gauss 2erppc 4asrm6 on the huelander and fucking bitches at any range

>>150519085
4 SRM6's is 48 damage, even if spread out.

2 of them is just 24. That's just not enough for an assault.

>>150518442
Why the fuck would you do that?

Just hope it has a 4M variant put in instead.

rip

>>150521747
24 would be more impressive if it was backed up by 2 UAC20s, LBX20s or gausses.

Damage has been multiplied by 5, except for lrms which have been multiplied by 4. Armor and internals have been multiplied by 3. I would like to hear the rationale behind this.

Looks nice and plays like a very easy megamek. Cant wait to see it feature complete.

>>150597135
Probably to allow abilities to increase damage or criticals with a larger spectrum
I wouldn't take the current pre alpha numbers too seriously though

>>150596881
You DID return. Just, not alive.

>>150597441
Just found it to be very odd with the lurms being the odd weapon out. Hell it looks like they even have different brands of lasers for the same class. Player mlas were green while the hunchie had blue lasers.

I am also curious how the autocannons allocate damage. I like how they are burst fire and hopefully they apply their damage to one component but I couldn't tell if some missed or had the little numbers float up.

So far I like the look of things, I just crave info and their ideas going into the design process.

>>150597827
Weapon variants were a fairly significant conversation point we brought up back during the initial planning and scoping phase. I argued that Battletech in its base form is too simplified and homogeneous and that it could use additional complexity and variations in performance of equipment to better differentiate the Houses and their mechs. The standardized stats are good for tabletop play where the players are already swamped with numbers tracked by hand, but this is a videogame and a new weapon variant is just one line of stats on a database table (and maybe a unique model).

More damage and less armor is weird though. Maybe they thought that an Atlas really should be able to take on a battalion of Stingers.

>>150598290
I agree, TT is an abstraction and if you want to play straight up TT then megamek and AtB should do the trick. Plus when you have names for just about everything, might as well put them to use. Different audio and visual cues are enough to liven things up, never mind actual stat changes.

I am also curious how they will implement the heat scale. Will it be 1:1 or will they make it like MW games? Furthermore, what would be good for gameplay?

Looks pretty promising in general.

The terrain and animations need a lot more work, though.
Terrain has caught a severe case of Total War ugliness. Definitely needs to be worked on more.
Animations in general are simply not there besides stuff taken straight from MWO.
Swaying arms, actual running, aiming, jumping, turning and idles are the easy missing standouts and there's still no melee yet.
Definitely the biggest sticking point ATM and the animation team has all my support since they still have more than a year's worth of hard work ahead of them.

Rip in piss, Cent. May you be forgotten like Krell before you.

May god's light shine upon this new mexican nomad boy you've rolled, sparing him from your typically retarded roleplaying decisions.

>>150599216
Since weapons are being scaled with armor (this is entirely a testing build of course), we can assume that heat would be more in line with what it should be rather than the radical overhauls of the realtime games.

I'm expecting that if they want to use bigger numbers then the heat scale will also get the same treatment; the bigger your numbers the finer the granularity of the smallest unit. So maybe they can tweak the numbers to squeeze in some more definition into how much heat is generated from movement (maybe 1 per Y hexes instead of 1 per movement point?), and how much leeway there is for heat penalties, things like that. That will work well with weapon variants too.

Heat will probably be tight in any case. The way the weight class turn order works may give too much power to backstab alpha strikes, so that needs to be reigned in with strict heat management and ye old single heat sinks.
