#1 Deathstar in 4 minutes with a srm6 mech and only cts destroyed? With 10 of your team not even involved in the match and trying to call it legit. No one is going to bite, because it simply would never happen. Don't care if they were all deathballed or not, there's simply no way that particular mech is efficient enough to do it, even (especially) in T4-5 where people still run back armor.

There's simply not enough time in the match for that mech to legitimately maneuver around a deathball of mechs - especially when there's only 2 people on your team playing - and be able to rear core everyone. And with your ~400 hours a play time, I guarantee you aren't good enough at firing SRM6s to only drop rear CTs on moving targets.

#2 Original topic - the weight limits are to balance the matches of smaller groups against larger groups. Invite someone that wants to pilot and assault or build a full group. No one cares if you want to run all Locusts, but 99% of the players in this game don't want to and don't want to be completely gimped when your small team drops in vastly under-tonned. You have options to make this part possible, if you choose to take them. Someone in LFG will drop in an assault or heavy any time of day.

not to troll i just want my locust swarm team ffs this is bull **** why carnt i do this ????

Because it isn't fun for anyone else.

The minimum values were put in place to prevent troll groups like yours.

Sounds like the rules are working to me.

team was rilly bad and i mean so bad they all had the be playing for the first time how else do you think this happened like ****

team balance my *** i can go all centurion and shadow cat ect.

so its not balance problem its PGI not getting there **** together if i can go all same mech with others why not locusts

if PGI made it 30tons i would not be having this problem no buffs ]:<

Yea you can go with 3 or 4 50 tons mechs, which can hold there own on the battlefield against most mechs 10 tons heavier. How is this not balance?

You cant have 4 assaults and you cant bring 4 derp mechs like 25 tonners which STARVES you team of valuable tonnage needed to win. Balance goes both ways, i would not be very happy to jump on a team were once lance gimped themselves by taking mechs that cant hold there own weight in a fight.

You are taking balance to the OTHER extreme, so light you actually hurt your team. There are reason this isnt allowed, it isnt because PGI doesn't like you and your friends. They are actually looking out for those people who like to have even matches both ways. Not to light, not to heavy but just right.

[Lukoi Banacek]

Wow....just wow.

If you do not understand how the balancing factors of tonnage and teamwork intersect here, there's no real point in discussing things with you.

Take your server melt-down "Deathstar" title and use a private lobby. Or do as others have posted, get into a Hub TS or use the LFG feature, get some more players onto your team and you four can be the lolcust swarm and they can run assaults.

It's not about YOU BC666. It's about the other people on your team forced to play with your awfully self-centered and myopic decision to run under-tonned.

PGI doesn't owe you the opportunity to run that group in group queue. The community doesn't owe you the opportunity. If anything, YOU owe the gamers you're playing with a better effort ffs. It's a team game. The team suffers or succeeds based on the decisions of all of the match players.

That was during the DC bug ... nice screen shot of the exploit Can we shut this thread now. Ty for posting the pic K-town here we come!

btw why didn't PGI ever rollback the deathstar titles, like they said they would?

They did, but some people fell outside the date bracket. This guy falls on the too late side, my younger brother fell on the too early side.

Not a single point of team damage.

I'm making no claim that the OP's death star is legitimate. But ...

It is the height of arrogance to assume that just because you cannot do something yourself does not mean it can't be done by anyone else.

I'm just saying.

Oh come ON, Mystere! The guy has openly admitted that he lucked out and found some squid to farm to get the thing and he's only wearing it because he thinks it sounds cool! He did NOT earn it in a proper fight and he bloody well knows he didn't!

I explained to him why people were giving him grief over his title, what the 'Server Meltdown' thing was - which he'd asked several times - and furthermore explained to him why the group limits were a thing. Besides, starting your post by saying "I don't necessarily believe him either" doesn't really help your case, does it?

Seriously, Myst. How many Shadow Cat builds do you have that can get a five-minute Death Star with literally surgical precision? With SRMs?

one off game as i said team was so bad i hurt D:

and dose T.C help with crits with SRM because plan of attack was burn off armor with M-lazer then crit internals

one guy blew up from ammo i think it was a bigger boom then normal death can you get ammo rack from CT ??

TCs do not help SRMs.

CT ammo can be blown out, if it exists, but it's unlikely (due to being used first, and being Crit Padded by the engine+Gyro).

This. Plus, literally no one is dumb enough to run ammo in their CT. There aren't even any stock builds that run ammo in the CT.

Well the real problem is that the dropships are calibrated to fly within certain weight parameters. If you don't bring enough weight, they don't have enough mass to drop from orbit on a normal trajectory and just end up in a slingshot orbit around the planet. They could use their thrust to slow down and thus start dropping, but then they'd be moving too slow laterally to evade the orbital cannons on their way in and everyone would die. Not to mention that using up that fuel would just be plain wasteful.

It's not PGI's fault you don't understand orbital mechanics, aeronautics, and military tactics.

[BabyCakes666]

ok blame the clan for shooting the **** out of us got it

iv put ammo in my CT few times and in cockpit just depends on the build and layout im going for

It really does not matter to me whether or not he lucked out. As long as he did not get it via a server meltdown, I'm perfectly fine with him wearing it. Lady luck blessed him during that game.

But, I really need to ask: Why does it apparently matter so much to others?

But that was not the point of my post ...
