It is ridiculous.

Either implement something properly or don't bother.


Excellent advice. Would also be a first for PGI. :ph34r:

You're right. They should just remove it and leave it at that.

It's indicative of a consistent problem that PGI has in terms of game design. They make things based on some kind of numerical formula, without recognizing the ultimate pointlessness of some of the things.

The weapons modules are the same way... "Oh man, I can get an extra ONE METER in range on this weapon? SIGN ME UP."

It's such a great design, only people who abuse machineguns and AMS bought the modules.

Like me.

They'll probably add heat to both.

Yeah, I woulda much rather the 8/8 omni pod bonus been something actually worth having.

Like the Prime Warhawk getting 10% less heat on Er PPC

Or the Summoner getting 15% more JJ thrust and fuel

Or the Timberwolf getting 10% more LT and RT armor to help with those big ass ears.

The Direwolf getting a 5% top speed boost, just to help it along a bit.

Of, you lose it if you config otherwise, but its kinda a quirk to help persuade the driver to keep the mech prime.

Cuz yeah, I saw 25 xp once and I was like really? Dont spend that all in oneplace....

Definitely something like this. Right now there's no reason to stay with all the same set since the bonus isn't worth what the potential effectiveness of other pods mixed in.
