Great update guys...love it all

Is that some type of salvage vehicle I see in the play screen shots??? Looks like a tracked crane?

That would simply be a logging crane, previously used to salvage trees on landscape, not mechs (also known as clearcutting) :D

But the burning question everyone wants to know is...

"Can I pilot the crane?"   :D

"Can I use the crane end pick up/harass battlearmor?"   :D

Fixed.

Looks amazing! Not a big fan of the Atlas's bubble cockpit but everything still looks jaw-droppingly beautiful. *Heads back to media gallery to drool*.

Really hoping for some hot VTOL action in the next update...

That pic with the raven looks a bit off.  What is that energy field there?  Doesn't look like the normal PPC impact jazz.

Lookin' awesome guys.

I dont think the raven looks off, i think it looks confused that it's support just shot itself in the face with a PPC  :D

The only odd items I can see are the earlier mentioned owens pilot with antlers, the odd energy field around the demolisher, and also the odd marauder variant in the last pic.  Only other things I'm wondering about are what the vehicle behind the owens in the smoke is, what the owens variant is that's shooting all of those lasers, and lastly if the elemental model has been improved or have they always looked that good?

Edit: not sure how I missed the bushwacker.  Guess I was hoping too much for a new mech model (still looks like a center mount on that top weapon).

1. Owens pilot's SRM launchers are partly obscured = apparent antlers
2. Odd energy field = hit by a PPC by an enemy around the corner the the left
3. It's not a toomah... er... Maruader.  That's a Bushwhacker.
4. I think that's an Oro driving through a blast cloud.
5. The "Rave Party Dance Dance Supreme" variant
6. The elemental models have been that awesome for quite some time.

things are already casting big shadows and we're just as impatiently awaiting their announcement as you guys hopefully are.


Anybody care to comment on this part of the weekly update?

Since the speculation gods are with me tonight, I shall share my theory. I think when AOP mentions "...and we're just as impatiently awaiting their announcement as you guys hopefully are." he "could mean" that the dev team is waiting on the lead devs to bring us to the promised land by oking a beta candidate release for the masses this summer. bahahaha :P

Hi fellas first time posting here :D

First off id like to say hella good job guys loving what u have bin showing so far and am looking forward to playing this;)

Now for a wild guess.... is one of the things u havnt shown a "sandstorm" like effect on the map SA_Sandblasted as im pretty sure i havent seen that yet..

 What i mean is the dust clouds that seem to be everywhere on the map where there isnt any vehicles/mechs

*yawns*
Am I still dreaming or do the mechs really look like as if they're walking?  :o Great work!
I am really looking forward to see those things in motion.

I am afraid you guys are in debt now to show an epic, badass, show-off trailer to make your fans cry like teenage girls at their favourite boygroups concert! ;)
Though I would certainly not want too see hundreds of 30 to 40 year old, bearded, fat nerds to cry like teens, throwing their undies on the stage. ;D
I've been waiting for a long time, for this moment to come.
I'm destined for anything...at all.

While I'm sure there are many of us who anticipate this game very highly, I don't quite think any of us in the 30+ year range, fat, skinny, bearded, bald, or otherwise, are quite... affengeil for it ;D

Me, I go commando, but even if I didn't I don't think I'd be throwing my undies on the stage. Not the least of reasons for that is that that maneuver is generally facilitated by wearing a skirt, and so far I'm pretty sure there's no one involved with this game whom I'd be willing to do that for :P

I hope that the shadows isn't something BAD for the LL mod! :o

Whenever I've seen a decent mod like this, 'eeeeeere comes either the legal issues or, group split or real life takes over for someone important in the group.. :(




Please dear powers that be, let this mod be made and finished by the sweet and nice folks making it! :)
