Let's get this subject out of the way already.

Sure... with significant and crippling negative quirks.

I'm just seeing too many people griping about it.

Just vote no like i did.

[Champion of Khorne Lord of Blood]

Ohboy, 11 votes to the no and just me voting to the yes. I'm just thinking of all the combinations of clan+IS weapons put together, but oh well.

[WolvesX]

Voted yes.

BUT looking at the votes... its seems only Dakota1000 and me vote yes and 15 others voted no.

MW4 system was much better.

"Should there be mixtech?"



If mixtech is added, balance is going to go right out the window. Now, if the game had been based around there being mixtech? Then I'd be fine with it. But it wasn't. And weapons are balanced based on the line of thinking of "These mechs can only use these weapons".

No.

And voted for the first time in a long time.

[Mcgral18]

Gut reaction

plzno



Upon further thinking, as PGI isn't about to balance the game, a ShaqHawk with a RAC5, HLL and cXL would be pretty neat
Clam Endo, being outrageously superior, mounted beside Clam Ferro, for the same cost (and more benefit) than isEndo alone. As well as over 100 Kph

Yes because why not? Game is broken enough as it is.

Sure, who needs a distinction between factions, after all?

(You would have to remove IS quirks as they add Clan Tech, and you would have to add negative quirks to clan Mechs as they load IS tech... Not worth the programming hassle)

Hey some people seemed to constantly bring it up so I'm looking to put it to rest.

[Alex Morgaine]

I'll vote no, but caveant of "mix tech if the chassis/varient does use, and only for those mechs". Keep everything else straight.

Or to simplify it all any faction has access to any mech chassis but the tech loaded on the chassis must be from the chassis's tech base.

So clan pilots can pilot I.S. mechs but only get to put I.S. tech on them and Inner Sphere pilots can use clan mechs but can't also put I.S. tech on the clan chassis.

Hell to the no.

[Moonlight Grimoire]

Mixed tech would be clan gear on IS mechs and clans getting MRM's, light gauss, heavy gauss, light, heavy, and snub nose PPC's, as well as RAC's and IS front loaded AC's. Sure technically it could make things 'balanced' but clan would get more of a buff than IS. So, no, it would make balance even more of a headache.

Thinking on it, the only way I'd let it slide, is for IS Omni's, as they usually have an "R" config that uses Clan weapons... I would restrict it to the "R" pods how ever. How ever for any other mech aside from IS Omni's, ooh hell naw!

And your evaluation of the state of the game is based on less than 10 matches a month for the past 5 months (We can check on the leaderboards now)? Can't really value your opinion with that sample size
