What I think is that the question is worded badly.
I'd say slowing down on mech releases would be perfect (one every 2-3 months).
Take that time to tend to other aspects of the game.

...Trying to think of a reason why a company who's only marketable asset is mechs is asking people if they have enough mechs.

The only answers I can think of are... bad.

Hnnnnnnnngggggggg. I want to say yes, but also we don't have the majority of my favorites, so there's a serious conflict here. Especially since we don't have a Clan 20 tonner.

I won't vote until he fixes it to be more fine grained, as I don't mind new chassis especially given the 3 to master limit is about to be lifted, however we have too many variants and wouldn't mind a culling of them actually (provided I got my c-bills back and the variant left over got some appropriate consolidation).

So you can choose between "no thanks we have enough Mechs" and "yes I'd like some more Mechs".

Gosh I wonder what people will choose.

Ask the wrong question, get a useless answer.

The real question should be: "would you like more Mechs ... or instead, fixes to hitreg, tanks, a new PSR system and a working matchmaker, more maps, or ... all the other things we actually need instead of more Mechs".

Enough mechs? No
Higher priority items other than mechs? Yes

I'd be totally fine if we go a year with no mechs. As long as they take that time to expand the game.

Can't be answered in such a simple way.

There are still a lot of mechs which could be introduced to the game. There can't be enough mechs because more mechs give more avaiable options.

That said, we have a ton of mechs but we are clearly lacking content in other areas.

Legitimately, I'd vote no to more mechs if he worded the question as a "Focus on features or mechs" deal. But just "Do we have enough mechs?" That's just a baited question, so I have to say no to stopping.

Who votes no?
OK not the best yes/no question

Sure there are other mechs I'd like to see

But I'd rather see other things first
Or Slowing down on new mechs like "only" 6 per year


Ehh
Looks like most vote no, so nothing new anything else, only mechs pumping out faster?

Man here's a vote for "wanna buy a mech pack" crowd and it seems to boil down to
Gimme more mech packs

the problem isnt too many mechs

the problem is too many of the existing mechs are too similar to eachother and not different enough

its the skill system thats the problem, it needs to focus more on making every mech unique in some way

Does anyone see a Nova Cat in my mechbay?!

Then the answer is "no, there can never be too many" until that reality changes... Posted Image

Sorry, there are still several i want to see added, and given that only a small percentage of the mechs released are mechs I want, id prefer to continue doing the mech a month scheme.

But I'd like to keep focus on features as well of course.

That makes it harder to satisfy everyone and more mechs doesnt necessarilymean faster development elsewhere.

That can't be the real question because you're assigning an equivalency that doesn't make sense. That's like saying, "would you rather have your car mechanic work on your car or perform open heart surgery on you?". Pretty sure you'd want the car mechanic to keep working on cars and maybe go to the doctor for surgery.

We have plenty of mechs. The game is just lacking a handful of useful ones so I voted no.

As I mentioned in another thread, fix PSRXPBar and/or go back to 8v8 and I'll be be dropping $210 the next day. Want fun Quick Play games, not "CARRY HARDER" games. Can't see myself trying to do that with anything I don't already have in inventory.
