Strykker thank you so much for saving my beloved Nova!

And LOL at the scary "Novatos" variant... the last time I saw thighs like that was on the winner of the Tour De France :)

And I dub thee... the Frankencat  ;D


I'm glad to hear that the NCat can stay ingame and that it does not have to suffer any modifications.

Ok. That is it. We need to turn this into a vote.
I actually prefer the thunder thighs variant.

The normal model has ignorant legs.

EDIT: Aside from personal preference, this has got to be the most wanted fix since... ever.
So many crashes that will no longer be with this.

That pillar of Novacats would make a much better Crysis engine advert than the "exploding stack of barrels" vid we've all seen....just imagine a chain nuke reaction of Novas and the wonderful physics and ragdoll effect as they go off like firecrackers!  8)

Uh, yeah. That was a dear friend of mine logged in as me. I'll respect his opinion and leave it up.

As for my opinion. I'm good. MWLL is a beautiful project. Just not one I personally play really. I love my CBT too much I guess. I'll leave the mechwarrior series to the next generation. But... way to go on putting the Nova Cat on a thighmaster I guess? I kinda like the thunder-thighs, makes more sense really...

His opinion is invalid.

Was great when this was fixed. It would have been awful for us to put the Ncat in with the thanotos legs, but it would have been the only solution to the problem without Strykkers help.

New idea- would I be able to use an external hard drive to add RAM and/or improve gigahertz?

Hm, nice fix, though I never did get any Ncat crashes. :P
I wonder if the cockpit bob has changed any while running.
Don't want to make it too easy mode to snipe while on the move in that thing.
