Override shutdown maybe?

Lol. I almost said something about that.

And yeah alphaing 2 ER PPCs, 3 MPLs and a UAC10 is so much precise firepower it obviously breaks the game and MUST cause immediate shutdown. Such is the way of balance.

ED: Because PGI was desperate to have their new system named after something just as un-fun as said system.

its funny that this is said every time a new mech comes out and is shown alphaing,
how else are they supposed to show a Mech in action, when only firing a couple weapons,
that doesnt make for an interesting picture of a mech, realistic yes, but posters arnt about realism,

Well dont mean to be a smartypants but the first two mechs dont alpha and those last two mechs alphaing 2 - 3 lasers with 1 - 2 ballistics. I mean, the marauder has almost the same loadout and you dont see him alphaing. *Smartypants mode off*

It's 4 AM and it takes time to select his entire post to delete the contents with a phone. Time that could be spent on memes.

Not every stock mech in classic Battletech was designed to alpha strike its weapons and not overheat. The opportunity is there for those who want to push the mech to their limits for the chance that it will pay off.

[Hunka Junk]

Ideally, the mech should be pictured doing something players might envision themselves doing.

Therefore, the best pic would have been a Night Gyr typing a message for the forums complaining about its release.

To be honest, in its stock config and without pilot skills it will shutdown without ED. And in TT you would generate 24 excess heat which will most likely result in a shutdown as well.

It doesn't mean that MWO heat system should be more restrictive though, laser vomit Timberwolf in TT would be completely heat neutral for example. Just wanted to point out that Night Gyr's stock config sucks.

. A lack of fingers and hand actuators would make that very difficult.

You say that then post pics of mechs not firing all of their weapons? A little counter productive to your point don't you think?
