Edit: bah read command chair instead of console.

No it doesn't do anything. If it did, I am sure ECM would counter it.

It should be the means for calling in airstrikes and artillery, i.e., commanding support, just as it can be used to mark the map for other purposes.

But when you want to push MC, you sacrifice practical and reasonable functionality in favor of allowing every mech to carry certain "modules" to ensure you can get revenue from everyone instead of just those with a command console capable mech.

Not really sure what to think of that.

[Serakek Radick]

Wasn't it supposed to be able to call in air and artillery strikes without the consumables?

[Obadiah333]

It takes up 3 tons on your mech and 1 slot. That's it.

I thought it allowed you to carry an additional module?

[DarkDevilDancer]

Its junk and currently a waste of tonnage, it does not even have an entry in the item description.

It does nothing. Was supposed to call in strikes, but the greed is strong in PGI. Maybe it will do something with the new lance commands coming in, or eventually when they think of something useful for it finally.

It allows you to carry an additional module

So put one on a stalker can you could carry up to 3.

1 Regular, 1 Mastery, 1 Command Module.

That is all, for now. They have plans within plans within soft buttered tacos.

The console. It does nothing.

[CarnifexMaximus]

I have asked PGI about this in the last two ask the devs. No answer. I asked again so we shall see tomorrow if they answer my question. I got it in early (first few pages) this time so maybe they will get to it.

What if...

...the console gave a small percent bonus to c-bills (and/or xp)?

I can't decide if it'd be a good or bad idea, but I like it.

[Fishbulb333]

It does not allow you to carry an extra module slot, nor does it do anything else.

(just tested in mechlab, 3 different mechs, still does nothing)
