"'A 'Mech as powerful as possible, as impenetrable as possible, and as ugly and foreboding as conceivable, so that fear itself will be our ally.'
Aleksandr Kerensky"
The mere sight of an Atlas had been known to make even a veteran Mechwarrior break out in a cold sweat.
Thanks to '''Juist Kant and Hurr Durr Industries'''! The Atlas and every other 60 ton or above mech now get this reaction;
The mere sight of an Atlas had been known to make even a noob Mechwarrior in a training mech in his first time out squeal 'OMG Free easy kill!"
Thanks to the incompetence, stupidity, lack of forethought and several thousand more descriptive words of 'Juist Kant Industries!' we have gone from:
"""A BattleMech is an armored combat vehicle of roughly humanoid shape, some 10 to 20 meters tall and typically massing from 20 to 100 tons. 'Mechs are best suited for ground combat, although they are also capable of operation underwater, in vacuums and/or in zero-g environments (space)."""
TO
A BattleMech is an armored combat vehicle of roughly humanoid shape, some 10 to 20 meters tall and typically massing from 20 to 100 tons. 'Mechs are best suited for getting stuck on twigs, small rocks, unable to climb 1 degree inclines, unable to fire more that 2 weapons, unable to scape paint off of buildings or cars, although they are also capable of operation in ankle deep water at best where the water helps increase the battlemechs heat , AS vacuums and/or in zero-g environments (space) As shiny reflective lights to guide dropships to their landing bays.
Stupidities to be removed 1 year ago :
1 - Ghost heat
If you don't want to remove it APPLY IT RIGHT!
Light mechs = 50% Max heat! these small balls of tin have NO where for extra heat to go
Medium Mechs = 75% Max heat! Same as lights just a bit bigger
Heavy mechs = 100% Max heat (current state of heat absorption limit on mechs)
Assault Mechs = 150%-200% Max Heat! These chassis are HUGE there limbs are bigger than most light mechs
(A medium laser will heat up an Atlas frame as much as a Locust Frame? Yeah Riggghhhtt!)
2- Hill Incline
Battlemechs were designed to replace older vehicle types because they were able to go places where they could not.
Refet to Juist Kant Industries on Battlemechs above.
Gone just GONE nothing can save hill incline the stupidity.
3 - 50% speed if legged IS FINE
The stupidity that needs gone is the UNLESS A MOSQUITO HIT A LEGS THEN SPEED=0
4 - Missiles are FASTER THAN BULLETS (WAKE TFU!)
5 - Anything hitting a light mech should rock it ALOT MORE than an assault (Refer to Heat % in regards to screen shake % VS mech size)
If you are in an Atlas your world should barely move when hit.
6 - remove all the stupidities above and the game might become FUN AGAIN! (Gasp what a concept!)
Remember KISS and KEEP easy concepts except for some...
