ECM - too many complain about it being overpowered. In honesty it truely is not, but the one complaint is the limit to just 4 mechs. To help remedy the solution, allow additional mechs to carry ECM.


LB-10X - This weapon should be able to carry both types of ammo just like it does in the tabletop. However, the issue of making this weapon capable of this without completely overshadowing the AC10 is a concern. The following is a suggestion to help remedy this. Change the LB-10X so that it can take both LB-10X (shotgun) ammo and AC10(slug) ammo. Provide a toggle command to switch between shotgun & slug modes along with a notification (akin to how ECM toggles between its modes with the "J" key and it notifies which mode it is in). To balance this new version of the LB and not make it overshadow the standard AC10, change the number of rounds this new LB-10X carries per ton. Currently, both the AC10's & LB-10X's ammo supplies 15 shots per ton. With the proposed change to the LB-10X, have the ammo associated to it carry less rounds per ton than ammo assigned to the standard AC10. In this case, have ammo assigned to the LB-10X carry 8-10 shots (which ever deemed more balanced by the dev. team) per ton be it LB-10X ammo or AC10 ammo (note: AC10 ammo assigned to the standard AC10 would still be 15 shots per ton). This way you have the LB-10X fully represented from the tabletop and still have incentive to keep and make use of the standard AC10.

Layout saves - implement a comfort feature that allows one to save weapon, armor, ammo, (d)heatsinks layouts and charge MC for it. Just like one has to pay MC for an added Mechbay, allow "saved layouts" as a similar feature, as many layouts per mech (each saved version costing MC). To be honest, added bays should cost C-bills, and if the "saved layout" luxury is created, have that as a source of MC, but I digress.
With the "saved layout" feature, the luxury of quickly configuring your mech to a specific layout you saved becomes available. As long as one has the proper components, that layout will instantly configure to the layout saved. No longer will it take several minutes to unload a current layout and load a new one. One or two clicks away and it does the unloading and loading for you.

I hope your organization take time to consider, adapt, improve, or completely shoot down any of these suggestions.

Thank you,
