Not a fan of LFE being introduced in this game, certainly not anytime soon.

We need LFEs, MRMs, and ATMs

missile options are very limited right now and we need new missile weapons

Or alternate LRM ammo at a minimum. Thunder (mines) and Swarm LRMs came out in 2621 and are within the timeline. Inferno (heat) and Smoke LRMs would be a nice gameplay touch also.

What light fusion engines would give is power creep.

Not a fan.

Not really. The mechs that primarily benefit from LFE are mechs like the Atlas that need buffs.

Mechs like the stalker dont benefit from LFE.

Also lights dont benefit much from LFE either, because XL weighs less.

Agreed, it'd also justify lessening some overdone quirks.

Best thing they could do IMO is advance the timeline to release LFEs and ERMLs. You would quiet the complaints about Clan and further move towards balancing the battlefield.

Good post, great idea.

Sure ...here's an engine that's half as good at weight savings but won't kill ya when your mech has a side blown off...half the weight savings ...

Yeah that sounds ballanced.
