I am drowning...
Not in the sea...
But in 'Mechs...

For the love of Kerensky, we need new guns! New toys to put on our 'Mechs, so that we can keep things fresh! I would adore some new weaponry in MW:O. New options are ALWAYS a good thing, and help keep me interested. There are certain guns that I do worry about (RAC *cough-cough* RAC) but I'd still like to see them added.

On the I.S. energy front, I'd LOVE to see the PPC line get some love. Bring in the Los-Tech Snub-Nose PPC, introduce the new Light-PPC, and also add the PPC-Capacitor addon. ER versions of all the other lasers would be nice, but it's still basically the same stuff just hotter and further away. More diversity in the PPC line first please...

The Snub-Nose has a range just a bit longer than an AC/20, but is a ton lighter and has no minimum range. The Light PPC is only 3 tons, but also only does 5 damage for 5 heat instead of 10 for 10. It also keeps the minimum range of the regular PPC.

The Capacitor addon is the one I'd like to see the most. It is a single ton addon to any type of PPC that uses up one slot. Functionally, it adds 5 damage to the PPC it's attached to at the cost of 5 more heat. It also requires a charge up time before firing, and can explode. Sounds a lot like the gauss rifle doesn't it?

For missiles it's easy. MRM's = Long range SRM's with crazy spread. EZPZ.

For ballistics, I'd love to see RAC's (even though they'd probably break the damned game...), and Hyper-Velocity AC's. Heavy and Light gauss are obvious. New AC stuff would help a lot though.

Anyways, I've gone on too long and the list of weapons from the 3060's is a mile long so...
What should they add to spice things up? Anything you'd like to see in particular?

I'm sure they will bring us new tech (including weapons) in 2017.

[Wrathful Scythe]

New weapons will only be available with the new slightly more expensive mechs and will be released for the crowd, when they are available for c-bills.

Would be damn funny.

I would like to see unique name brand weapon variants from lore that have unique characteristics but require a rearm/ repair maintenance cost per match or they revert back to normal stats.

Rearm and maintenance is in another game with different rules for a different medium. MWO is based off of the pretty pictures and names of Battletech stories. Kinda like Santa Claus and Jesus.

Can I has shield generator?

Binary laser/ Blazer. The binary laser looks pretty damn useless with it's 16 heat for 12 damage and 9 tonns of weight.
But it just needs some abilities to make up for all that. Take your pick of the many possibilities. (not all at once.)

- Very short burn time.
- Ability to transfer some heat to target due to the intensity of the laser.
- Limited armorpiercing capability. Meaning it has a chance to do damage to internals and components through armor. The thinner the armor the better the chance.
- Two chances to crit internal components when armor is removed because of the dual laser cores.

[GonaDie]

Enough mechs, more Elementals.

[MrVei]

yes more weapons plz! RACs!!

[Spleenslitta]

Medium Range Missiles. They are described as MRMs are dead-fire missiles that are fired more like lasers than missiles at Sarna.
So i guess they would be fired in rapidfire rather than all at once or maybe they have higher velocity than SRM's?

Either way i want them for my Vindicator.

[Scout Derek]

Where are my IS UACs 10 and 20? I need them to use on my Atlas so I can smack that Dire Wolf around....

Or maybe take a King Crab with two 20s and smack around a Kodiak!

[TheArisen]

Let's not stop at just more guns & melee weapons, we need more defensive technology!
