Something to make people go, holy crap an Atlas K, so much for massive missile barrages.

I like it!

I'd settle for a single level of AMS to upgrade to L-AMS, but timeline is wrong.

Can I just shoot this LRMs with MGs instead?

The second advanced stage is a little much, but I could get behind the idea of an AMS Improvement module.

Honestly, I could get behind the idea of a lot of such modules, not just AMS. Proficiency Packages could allow a 'Mech to install special upgrades for its favorite weapons/systems in module slots, rather than just some basic sensor upgrades, and could if done right help bring some lesser-used weapons back up to par.

[Laserkid]

Mech specialization is what I'm after myself. I'm out of modules I want to buy, and I have been for a long....long time.

[Gaan Cathal]

I like. I think the second level is...excessive, and basically unnecessary, but I like the core concept.

Really, IMO, this is what modules should be - slottable upgrades to systems, not replacements for tonnage-requiring equipment (hello seismic).

[General Taskeen]

Single LRMs in balanced builds are already useless with missile shields and AMS, upping AMS damage even more would make them trashcan worthless.

Might be interesting, powerful yet situational.

[Laserkid]

Aye...takes two to block off most "assault" cap points.

+1 vote for the advanced AMS idea.
