Considering seismic is probably more useful than BAP, how about this? Get rid of the seismic module, combine it with BAP, and make BAP a piece of equipment that can only go on a few mechs, similar to ECM. BAP is heavily out classed by ECM still, but IMO they should be of similar, though different use. Perhaps keep a weak seismic module still around, but make the better one (pre-nerf) a weighing piece of equipment, only available on a few mechs.

Hell no....

Why not? They could give back the cost for those that have bought it, but it seriously outclasses other modules and BAP for a cost of zero in terms of mass and volume on the mech... That means it's an unbalancing feature.

And you think that giving an unbalanced feature to select mechs is a good idea? Didn't we learn anything from ECM? Just remove it from the game, don't combine it with BAP...

I think if it's pretty much only available to some lights and mediums and actually weighs something, then yes, it could be ok. The basic idea behind it is fine, it's just too easy to put on your mech with no drawbacks. Put it on some scouts (Spider, Cicada, Raven, maybe a Jenner, a couple others that aren't used much (eg Awesome, Dragon). Then it's a more leveling tool.

I could get behind that (I'm a light pilot and not biased at all )

In that case I would allow it on commandos only, otherwise I say no. Also don't combine it with BAP, because some people use BAP with their SSRMs and junk. Create a different item for it...
