Ok, so.. If you're not living under a rock, and play MWO, then you probably noticed the new skill tree..

And you probably noticed that with the skill tree you can buff just about any aspect of a mech..

except..

MASC!

So why can't we have some skills that extend how long you can use MASC, or how quickly the counter goes down, or how much damage you take from overusing it, or how much reticule shake you get?

I know few mechs can even equip MASC, but it would be usefull to get some buffs to that aspect too..

Errr... MASC only DOES deal damage above 75 points threshold? But you continue to get damage even if you release, until it falls off below threshold..

I've noticed that my Spirit Bear's MASC supposedly has a 180% boost to acceleration and 170% to deceleration. Using MASC before the skills tree, I would accelerate to top speed almost instantly, but after skills tree it accelerates as if I don't have MASC activated... Which I do.

What gives, PGI?
