I am tempted by having variations between the manufactures, but it would end up creating headaches
maybe as the game develops but not at the moment

[Ramius Hazen]

One of my favorite things through the years with Battletech lore was the names of the different manufacturers. But yeah, I'd hate to have to now keep track of which does what. There are over 450 listed on Sarna? Yikes.

[Sidra]

well like I suggested, just have different kind of varients ONLY have physical looks that differ, and not any stat changes. Make it like a skin sell for money to change your weapons look (with a preview of course before buying)

Where´s my taco?

[Poppaukko]

I want a Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong cannon.

[Sidra]

........do I have to even say what that looks like...

[Chunkymonkey]

Another one of these threads? Sigh....then again, i made a beta key spam....

Anyways, i would love to see this implemented with MAJOR differences but balenced by range accuracy, number of rounds, heat generated ECT. Also cost. I want this for all weapons.

Awesome idea for those of us that are really into the lore

Bad idea for people who are new to Btech and already overwhelmed by all the terminology.

[PewPew]

That'd be pretty cool, OP, but I think it's a slipper slope.

The more variation in the same weapons, the more likelihood for a pay2win situation. A medium laser should be a medium laser.

Actually, i want a Pontiac 100 but(AC20)

In an ideal world yes, I would like to see this level of detail.. it would add that much more variety in to the loadouts.. it's a little bit like Nascar, Rally, GP.. all the little bits and pieaces added together etc..

However, it might get a little bit too fiddly.. and in the end everyone would just end up using the same 2 or 3 models..

It is better then now. Five lasers, cannons and missiles almost no utility equipment. It is not what i expect from mech game.

So you want to have each weapon to be different, So the IS has 5 different types of AC (AC 2, AC 5, AC 10, AC 20, UAC 5),

• Autocannon/2 4 Manufacturers
  
• Autocannon/5 6 Manufacturers
  
• Autocannon/10 4 Manufacturers
  
• Autocannon/20 10 Manufacturers
  
• Ultra AC/5 3 Manufacturers

So that is 27 different variables. How many LRM, Laser, PPC, Guass, and MG Manufacturers are there? Not Including Clan weapons or future Tech. Now what about Engines, Gyros, Jump Jets, etc?



I would prefer the Devs concentrate on Mech, Maps and other important things.

That is just sour cream tho. I think it is probably an attachment to Steiner AC-Tacos.

[Skylarr]

[Mad Hamish]

Is this just a round-about way of asing if you can chage the color of AC to match the laser color....Or are you wanting the AC to go "pwew pwew" instead of "bang bang"

[Winters Flight]

While I don't think I'd like it in this style of game, MWTactics is doing something like this with their salvage packs. A more TT style game would make small differences easier to balance I think and it gives you a reason to buy more packs.

[Ayumi]

Taco autocannon with Picante flame rounds.

[Burnsidhe]

The original design decision to unify the weapon damage stats was the correct one. Twenty odd years later, I see no need to change that.
