It's technically K-Town for the uninformed.

Give both ECM & LRMs a 15k GXP module unlock, w/ 6 mill in C-bills cost, giving ECM its blanket back and giving LRMs back the ability to get locks and fire from behind cover with out needed LoS.

New players and space poors and are going to have a fit with these.

So since the information is a year old, but still relevant, lets just keep making new posts about it?

Imo, an easy fix to ECM would be to make LRMs need LoS (line of sight) , then u can take the 180m blanket off ECM.
Give both ECM & LRMs a 15k GXP module unlock, w/ 6 mill in C-bills cost, giving ECM its blanket back and giving LRMs back the ability to get locks and fire from behind cover with out needed LoS.

• ECM - only works for the mech its equipped on, adding 15k GXP 6mill cbill module restores 180m blanket.
  
• LRM - needs LoS to get locks, adding 15k GXP 6mill cbill module restores ability to get locks behind cover.

If both are going to be OP then let them need expansive modules to do so.

The reason ECM is what it is today is because LRMs don't need LoS and can rain holy hell from 900+m away from behind 2 mountains.

Modules could be a way of balancing both LRM's and ECM, stripping their effectiveness and making players who want to specialize in their use take modules to do so -- they did announce that weapons and such would be getting individual modules with the upcoming player level system.

No, no.... a new post with the points made in the first post so you don't have to dig through 75 pages of vitriol from both sides to find relevant info.

you know how many times I don't hit R and kill a mech?

You know how many times you could have hit R and killed it faster?

(Obviously, you don't- but the answer is "often", considering how many people are surprised to find their target was actually dinged up before they encountered them on PUG chats.)

A lot! See you AND I do know the answer, but in the heat of the moment we don't always do the smart thing.

Sounds like you have more than one weapon group. How unmeta. Single click dakka FTW!

Well why would I want my SRMs an Medium lasers to fire when I am at 600M from my target?

[DocBach]

SRM's and medium lasers are also unmeta.

Sorry Joe.

By now, I shouldn't need /sarcasm with you.

I have two weapon groups. One for PPCs and one for Autocannons.

Or even just a phlogistonic scanner, that lets you do, well, whatever you can think of

Once the rules have been thrown out, everything else is easy.

I want the "oscillation overthruster" from Buckaroo Banzai so my mech can pass through mountains and buildings. BB was a character in BT novels, so at least it could be quasi-canonical
