My Pirate's Bane with a supercharger:



She might even hit Plaid....

sadly you would have to Wait for the Raptor(3052) as its only OmniMechs,
but an Adder could go 120kph for 7seconds, which could be awesome,

Supercharger works like a MASC system that can be Mounted on any OmniMech,
the catch is that it must be placed in a Location that also has an Engine(STD=CT)(XL=LT/CT/RT)
Superchargers also Damage the Engine(where its located) not the Legs when ever its over used,

Superchargers take up 1Crit Slot & weigh 10% of the Weight of the Engine(Round to Nearest 0.5ton)
the Below Supercharger Stats are Based on the Current C-MASC Stats from the FebPatchNotes,
=
Supercharger MK I(Light)
Speed boost increased to 20%.
Turn rate increased to 40%.
Acceleration increased to 200%.
Deceleration increased to 190%.
=
Supercharger MK II(Medium)
Speed boost increased to 23%.
Turn rate increased to 35%.
Acceleration increased to 190%.
Deceleration increased to 180%.
=
Supercharger MK III(Heavy)
Speed boost increased to 28%.
Turn rate increased to 30%.
Acceleration increased to 185%.
Deceleration increased to 175%.
=
Supercharger MK IV(Assult)
Speed boost increased to 30%.
Turn rate remains at 25%.
Acceleration increased to 180%.
Deceleration increased to 170%.

the SuperChargers saw Main Stream Production in the Year 3078,
but has been in Production prior for centuries, as early as 2624,
(Supercharger on Sarna)


=My Changes Per Balance=
rather than go off just the Mech Engine Weight, i feel they should go off STD Engine Weights,
(a HBR with a Supercharger equipped would then weigh 3.5Tons instead 2Tons)
also i would add in a new Rule that doubles this weight if the OmniMech has Endo,
(a TBRwith a Supercharger equipped would then weigh 10Tons instead 3Tons)
-
i feel these Changes will Aid all OmniMechs that have STD Engines Already(none Yet)
as well a Buff to Any OmniMech that was built with Ferro instead of Endo(MDD/WHK),
(this also Helps Future IS OmniMechs(when they come out) with more Options)


do you think This Option for OmniMechs will help OmniMechs,
OmniMechs Currently in MWO(ADR, IFR, NVA, MDD, GAR, WHK)
and Even New ones we may see Someday(Raptor, BlackHawk-KU, Sunder)

Thoughts, Comments,Concerns?
Thanks,

Edit- Poll Link,

i think it should be able to be mounted in the head many omnis don't have ct slots and some have empty head slots.

We did get a Supercharger in CT of the Legendary Warhawk Kasai

(It's 1x Critical Slot fixed in CT, and 1.5ton)

well.. without even 3000posts here he's fresh and doesn't know how things..

For MWO balance sake, it should be one or the other, but not both.

Supercharger for max speed boost and slots at cost of turn speed, blocks use of MASC stacking.

M.A.S.C. for full spectrum agility and top speed at cost of slots and tonnage, blocks use of supercharger stacking.

Its the only sensible way to implement it given how wonky hitreg is on superfast (120 kph+) lights and mediums.

[Tarl Cabot]

XL should be normalized first with the LFE and cXL, meaning a mech would not die with the lost of the first ST. An example of how those non-redline non-lethal penalties could look like.

And haha.. talk about a necro'd thread !!

This +1.

PGI is utilizing only a portion of the engine crit rules and heatscale. Add that for any players running an IS trial mech or purchasing trial/champion/etc IS mechs w/isXL, even with the heat bar sitting at 0% isXL is instant death w/loss of a ST, whereas for cXL and the couple of mechs w/LFE it isn't. And it would make IS Omnimechs viable instead of players targeting a ST instead of CT/cockpit or both ST/legs to kill said mech. (CT/cockpit/both legs still needed for STD too ).

• isXL 40% Engine loss heat capacity / x% loss heat dissipation / 25% movement
  
• cXL 25-30% Engine loss heat capacity/ x% loss heat dissipation / 20% movement
  
• LFE 15-20% Engine loss heat capacity/ x% loss heat dissipation / 15% movement

even though its been listed Unusual or Experimental tech since 2624,
its not listed as Lost Tech, as it doesnt have an Extinction or Return date listed,
so we have to assume its been in production since then just not Mass(MainStream) Production,

Is just a NOS injector for your mech :3

We need our grave digger to put this back into the earth. Let the dead rest.

I've already stated multiple times that all the equipment in lore that is already in the MW5 mechlab mods should be made available, almost all of it is already there last time I checked.

So far some of it has come out in one-off hero mechs, which is acceptable, like the small Gyro int he Christmas Commando, and the Small cockpit in the Warlord.

Looking forward to more of these "Easter Eggs".

So to answer, heck yes, very yes, yes to all the things!

Blake is not amused the Heresy in this thread.

Bypass construction rules?

People have gotten serious prison time for less.

Prison? We all know the proper answer is fire from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

You should know this... I smell heresy.
