So I use my as7-d. Millions of points left. (btw my mastered CTF was mastered but does not have enough points to max spec WHAT GIVES?). I spec what seems reasonable on mobility 4 nodes. weapons. misc. Now I can't break 30 kph in a 100 ton mech with 325 engine. So. If I'm max speced or not. How are you supposed to make points if you are gonna get SQUASHED or not even want to play with something driving similarly to a bus. An under powered one at that!?!??!?! It takes FOREVER TO EVEN attempt to make speed.

Just keep grinding and ignore the fact that they took away years worth of effort and replaced it with utter crap. Your fully leveled mechs are no longer fully leveled AND once leveled under the new system, they perform horribly compared to the old system. But you're supposed to just ignore that and keep on grinding, throwing money at PGI.

Yeah, I'm just kidding since that's clearly a crazy way to look at things, but that's where we are now, sadly, unless PGI scraps this farce of a "new skills system" and creates something worth mentioning.

I have read the the as-7 along with some other Mechs are broken due to a bug or wrongly assigned acceleration and deceleration numbers. It is a known issue and is being investigated by the Devs for a fix.

The manuvering issues are a little different to the skills tree., The tree should boost the existing values to make a horrible Mech a little better but not that much. They are changing the way the mechs are moving. Assaults should be the slowest mechs in the group and lights the fastest. you shouldn't have a 90T assault keeping pace with a light such as a raven. There were complaints and they are trying to address them. Those changes are included in te update but not part of the system.
