All Mechs of the same chassis should have the same engine size allowances.
A CN-9D can go 139.9 currently yet the other Cents cant even hold AN XL300 nvm a 390 like the CN-9D and that just going to push people away from the other variants
Why pay for that XL300 if it will A: get me cored easier and B: I can't use it in my other Cents if I want to change my weapons platform from ballistic to energy.
I mastered the CN-9D and I wish I hadn't lol.
As for engine by class I have no issue with giving an HBK/??? a 275 engine but to give it max 400 if it can take it eliminates the entire point of attempting to balance anything.
If you wan't speed then pilot a light like I do mostly.
Giving you a 130 kph hunche with all of that armor I still have to take off negates the point in even having a light.
Every Class has it's advantages and it's disadvantages but if you think base capping is rampant in Assault now HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......
Imagine if you had a drop consisting of 130kph mediums and 189kph lights pffff
They would all play Assault without weapons and just race to the finish.
It happens all day now and we have weapons we just don't use them in an assault they are more for show lol. <--- sarcasm
Or lets say that the lone light that survived couldn't cap because those 3 atlases the enemy has left who are way out of position can now make it across that map to stop him or cap themselves and win with a 3 to 1 cap advantage thus negating tactics as a whole in a lot of scenarios to the point of ruining the game and role warfare imo.
All same mech chassis even? YES
If you can pack it it's all good? ABSOLUTELY NOT
