Even laser ams would be 10x better than any new mech pack in terms of what mwo players really want. I could be wrong, however.

Blazers!

So desperate for new toys to mount but mcgral has a valid point. Sadly, nobody cares about balancing this game anymore it seems. Even that ED PTS hasn't moved in weeks (or is taken seriously by PGI... I mean if you want people to play it, just make some ads and bonus for it).

Apparently there are adjustments coming in November. If I remember the ngng podcast correctly (#146).

I hope that they don't destroy the entire kodiak chassis or entire weapon group(s) if they adjust the kdk-3. Which is surely at the top of the list.

Really like the idea of regular small balance tweaks...

Also super keen on new weapons....

Colorblind support so I can play the game again would be nice. Rear view cameras and HTAL would be nice considering how long they've been in the series. Ammo switching would be nice. Fixing the multitude of bugs, like the JJ bug, would be nice. But do I expect any of this to come to pass? Lol no.

What we need is Quadrupeds!
They'd add much more variety and flavor to the game than any amount of "new" weapons

You know what, at this point, im in favour of QUADS, definitely add something different to the game.

An energy based AMS? Well how would it work?

Here is my first imagination:
- Little red bolts of light fly out of the AMS unit to knock out missiles.
- Heat build up would be like that of using a flamer or repetitive small laser. It is an energy weapon so it should have heat associated with it.
- When power draw is in place this should also draw on the power.
- I also would hope for a better way to setup AMS turn off/on so that I can manage the heat and power draw that should be in place for such a weapon.

What do you think of energy based AMS?

I think there is one if you dig through saran (energy AMS). http://www.sarna.net...-Missile_System

as the years go forward i'd like to see some of he regained tech like xpulse, IS LBX/Ultra for other sizes and then into MRMs and arty's like the long tom. then you start getting into the mini fusion, different armors, others like mini ppc, heavy gauss etc.

Everyone asking for new weapons, and I'm just sitting here waiting for a complete range of Streak, LB-X, Ultra, and ER weapons.

You expecting PGI to actually work, to add new weapons that could bring out new life into a game that is so stale to the point it become dull quickly.

But in all seriousness...

They need to add the rest of IS Er lasers, streaks, lbx's, and uac, blazahs.
Then followed up by mrms, xpluses, lams, heavy lasers, etc.

Lams as in Laser AMS or Land-Air Mechs?

If they introduced laser AMS I'd actually put some effort into building AMS onto my builds. The biggest reason I don't carry AMS is because sure it's only 0.5 tons for the system but you need at least one ton of ammo. Most of my builds don't have that to spare for such little return. But you give me an AMS that has no ammo and just costs me 0.5 tons and I can just turn it off if its getting too hot? Sure, I'll do that.

I like the little red bolts! Functionally though, I was thinking of something a bit simpler, both for the player and devs sake. It would have similar performance to current ams but at a higher tonnage. It would sort of be it's own self contained system so no heat or energy draw and no ammo limitations. Not terribly different than current ams, just a different flavor
