Yes, mech can carry five power armors. Clans do this.
Elementals, not guns, not armor, not small boys called Cevin. Just power armors do detach before the assault.

The weight for those BattleArmors has to be accounted for before-hand, which means you're losing tonnage for other things like armor or weapons.

Well, with all this negative feedback to this suggestion, we can expect PGI to implement this in a hotfix ASAP.

When equipped, in basic forms allows up to 2.5% extra weight out of the total tonnage to be carried by the mech. Advanced mode get its to 5%

So an Atlas can carry 105 tons, hunchback 52.5t tons etc, in exchange for a module slot and possibly reduction in speed or acceleration/deceleration.

Yep, and I know exactly where they can stick it!

How bout NO?

[King Arthur IV]

the game is balanced around the current limitations. if we give every mech an additional 2.5% of free weight, you might off set the progress they have made; be it slow a$$ progress. snail says "left him in the dust"

Deffinitely yes... It can only be implemented with UI 3.0 or more probably UI 4.0 though.

Its on the same planning board as Magma Cannons, Instand death rays, useful cockpit screens, a live feed of Fox news for every cockpit, reverse beepers for Assault mechs and the Urbanmech.

Internal structure go -kersnappity-, 'Mech fall down go boom. It'd also hose the weight-limit system that's going in for the matchmaker.

Nope.
