Would we allow the possibility of different variants having different agility, within the same chassis?
Would the variant's stock engine or engine cap play any role?
Would we have any system at all other than arbitrary selections of agility values by PGI?
(I shudder at the thought, but maybe PGI has grown up enough that this kind of thing would work. MASC ended up being kind of cool, after all...)
These questions point to the problem with this tread, which has degenerated into people shouting past each other all afternoon arguing with straw men of each others' positions. We clearly saw the idea to decouple engine size from agility presented, but I never saw it replaced with an alternative proposal, so it's really hard to even tell what people are arguing about over there. Can someone make the alternative proposal on how decoupling would work (and, even better, articulate the problem this would solve)? Or just link it if someone's already made it.
Roughly speaking, "Agility" values are torso twist rate, turn rate, arm movement rate, acceleration, deceleration, etc. Agility definitely does not include maximum straight-line speed; we seem to agree on that much.
