As previously mentioned in this thread, simply changing ft/s to m/s without converting is ... disconcerting. This wouldn't be a problem if each map's splash screen didn't show each planet's relative g. As we all know, Earth g is roughly -10 m/s/s. So for an assault to not take damage until its vertical velocity is -30 m/s means it can fall for three seconds before taking damage. In the game it's about one second, which is reasonable, and corresponds to about -10 m/s vertical velocity. Please just convert the fall vallues by dividing the damage limit by three. E.g., assaults take damage at -10 m/s, not -30 m/s. Or call it feet. I don't care. Just make it somewhat relatable in terms of physics. I get that it's a game, and the units and rules are whatever you want, but if you are going to go the route of pseudoscience (by presenting temps and accelerations and distances in current metric values), please be consistent and make the pseudoscience plausible.

Not lazy. Incompetent, perhaps. The fall rate has been in m/s all along, but someone in the graphics department accidentally used ft/s in the HUD.

Btw, this patch officially makes the JR7-K just as pointless as the STK-5N. I don't own either of them, so I don't really care, but it's worth pointing out.

Inner Sphere battlemechs weren't designed to be modular......not even close.....

Just sayin'

[Raggedyman]

So I'm down a useful slot, every match is going to be crammed with magical area attacks, and in return you are going to let us spend a fortune on minorly useful & massively expensive range-mods?

Wow. I can hardly contain my inertia

[Mike McSullivan]

i would like to know what that +17% front armor for Awesomes CT means! I checked my AWS and they have all the same 100 max Armor - Like the other 80t mechs...is it meant to be damage reduction, or somenthing?

- Why, with raising the number of max modues, havent their prices been reduced? I mean, really, i wouldnt even buy a weaponmodule for 500k cbills...

Since clan weapon have a very good range and overheating probleme why for the sake of god i should use weapon module on clan mech? Imo reduce range for reduced heat would have been more logical. By the way i wont use weapon module on my clan mech.

[TercieI]

"Modify Consumables" is now accurately named, so you have to go to mechlab to manage any other modules? Wow, that's a big step back.

I would love to have some AMD love here. Really.

At this point it hardly matters any more. "A BattleTech game" my sweet lower rear center torso...

I'm beginning to think PGI might need a wholesale break from the game... these decisions are... off, if you know what I mean?

[Redshift2k5]

Seems strange that Centurion armor is +10, Awesome armor is a + percentage, and HBKs get internal structure. Three IS mechs get an HP buff in three different ways, and the HBK gets it in a fashion that's weightless?

[Jaroth Corbett]

Well this is annoying. I was able to have Advanced Zoom & Advanced Seismic Sensor in all my mechs now I have to only use one until I master the mech, at which time I will then get the extra mech module slot? Thanks for the inconvenience PGI.

[SmartmuhahaXD]

Yeah great with the patch I lost some of my modules because of an error xD !!!

[Ren Kurogane]

is it time for me to sell my Atlas DDC? although i feel happy with other changes, the module slots' change hit me really hard...

[Candun]

why did the ddc get nerfed? it was one of the few IS mechs that could hang with clan mechs. what was the point in nerfing it?it should have more slots than other mechs right?i cant even use mine it says modual slot violation.WTF stalkers have more modual slots than a ddc now??? really??

[Werewolf486 ScorpS]

It's here and it lost the modules in my DDC and my 3M Cicada. I want those back!! 7 in total so far!!

[Xeno Phalcon]

Here is your new module setup ladies.

If you felt like wasting c-bills and GXP...put the AMS range and rate-of-fire modules in that last section, lol.
