A bad idea being better than a worse idea has never carried much merit with me. I would prefer a justification that addresses why everything in this game is balanced in limited resources (tonnage, crits, HP), except consumables.
Why is narc 3 tons, projectile, single target, ammo dependant; while uav is a free add
-on (if you don't think it is free, it is because you don't monitor your chill rewards)
Bad comparisons are bad too. Even todays UAV's weigh in at less than a pound, HR camera included, ffs. Adding a 15 ounce add-on to a Mech does not, nor should it, require any dedicated internal space. That much seems reasonable.
A Narc system on the other hand, in MWO specifically, has special beacon AMMO, 12 shots, so when combined the added weight and space required make sense.
