Say you've just lost the AC-10 in your arm and all the other weapons are energy based then that chunk of AC ammo is just a crit waiting to happen. Is there going to be, or should there be, a way to jettison it out of the mech?

Perhaps the ammo could become an item in the world that can be kicked around for sports (we could call this mechball and have an atlas standing at each end of the field using their legs as goalposts?) or kick it to position it and then shoot to blow it up.

I think we should be able to purge ammo, and I asked too.

No answer on that one.

Ahh, my searches were for 'jettison' and I didn't find anything. I will watch for the next dev answers :)

"Purge", "jettison".... :ph34r: I just started a new thread on this, with "dump" being the verb - didn't notice this one.

They should put the "jet" in "jettison" such that when a jettison is performed, the ammo propels outward from the mech and then can be shot mid-air to create an explosion/distraction. Think of it like skeet/trap shooting but for Mechs! One can dream...

It would be really nice if dumping ammo was an option.
