there should be an average baseline agility for each tonnage. and all mechs should fall within no more than say a 10% variation from that baseline. that allows for some variation since some mechs should be more agile than others, but prevents any outliers from existing.
Two edged sword... one one hand you are sacrificing much for a bigger engine heavy / assault.
They should get some edge for this.... Look Mechs like Gargoyle or Executioner - or Falconer or Exterminator if they ever made it can hardly provide the fire power they should as heavy or assault.
the only thing you can do is to make them more mobile.
However what you can do - is to PUT a "BASE mobility" Rating - and when you drop your engine weight than you get punished. hard - full auto nerf gun
So this grant the Gargoyle ~ mobility of a 60ton Mech but if you could have a Spartan 400 rated STD it might behave like a 55-60t mech too - but dropping engine towards a 300- they should behave like a Atlas
