I was sitting here, thinking about melle dammage, and maybe to somewhat simulate a type of melee damage, mechs with arms could get an increased collision damage, but only for arms. Like if a mech gets close and hits at ramming speed, and arm movement speed is added to physical speed, itll do more damage, so a pilot running at you with armlock off and arms moving all over the place will do a bit more damage than just running up to a mech and headbutting it. And mechs with arm weapons like the kodiaks claws could be quirked for plus 10% ramming damage l and r arms , and minus 10percent ramming damage to self l and r arms. Im thinking that may be an easier way to do melee with the code already in the game, not that i know much about making games, but its an idea.

Just make a Fixed Weapon with CD and a keybind assignment for a short range weapon of like let's say 10-25m depending on mech size and everytime you hit let's say keybound to G all your weapons go on CD and you do an arm animation and you did weight / 5 dmg to target so a 25 ton mech punches only does 5dmg to let's say the leg of a target mech, but at the same time all his weapons go on CD for 5secs just like in tabletop.. cant shoot and melee at the same time

Melee is an end of round action. Any mech can kick. Roll pilot check not to fall. A punch or melee weapon can be used if no weapons in that arm were triggered. Torso and alternate arm weapons can be used.
