Darn skippy you agree.
But there aren't that many good designs left (with 3 variants).
In your opinion. They don't have to be "good" to you. They simply have to appeal to others. Also, "good" is much more than just tonnage and hardpoints and speed. Good can be determined by the quirks given, which they have indicated a desire to expand upon. As for 3 variants, at some point there will have to modify that. OR they limit their potential. Whether that will be a revamp of the pilot efficiencies in UI 2.0 (one can hope) or by adding PGI/ MWO player designed variants.
You see no use for the Crab. Or the BlackKnight. Others really don't care and want those chassis., whether they bring something "new" or not. Have never really seen PGI espouse that argument, so I don't see how it can be a considering factor.
Fact is there are many many people who want Urbanmechs, Vindicators, Crabs, Zeus, Cyclops, Flashman, Black Knights and such, whether you think they are good, or even if they actually would be good. It's called variety. We like it.
You lost me here. I like the same number for all weight classes.
That's sweet and all, but has exactly what to do with what? So because we like symmetry, should there also be the same number of missile launchers as ballistics, and ditto with energy weapons? Does call of Duty make sure there are the same number of knives, handguns and smgs as there are of assault and sniper rifles and missile launchers?
Medium Mechs make up 40% of ALL Mechs used in the Inner Sphere. Due to cost and diversity, it goes to reason that not only would there be more total numbers, but more varieties of them.
Phoenix Hawk is Macross...
AND? The name is not. Just the original art. Art can change. Macross/Studio Nue/Harmony Gold can only sue over images that infringe on that original image. And Harmony Gold is Quite likely about to get ripped a financial new one by Hasbro anyhow. People once said NO Unseen would make it. We have seen that change already. Also, as I said, with any luck.....
