because atlases are mixed loadout assaults not ballistic assaults

whats the point of having different mechs if you make every mech the same?

it makes far more sense to make the atlas better at its own thing than to make it like other assaults

I saw QUAD and got ready to page Juodas. But then the rest of the thread title was a disappointment

I'd rather have the Atlas-II as an extension on the Atlai line, just with modified visuals and hitboxes.

Same with the Grand Dragon in the Dragon mech line.

I'd rather have the Marauder II as an extension to the Marauder line, but with the "hurdles"...

I want an Atlas with an energy hardpoint in the head for laser eye beam action

How about us having atlas that is agile and can torsotwist and have armor quirks instead of structure.

Hmm.

Are there any 100 tonners primarily armed with missiles in BT canon? I know there are assault class LRM boats, but I'm specifically thinking of 100 ton mechs.

Considering the fact that most mechs are already the same.... that has been a complaint for a while now. i dont see how giving the Atlas arm ballistics is really going to make it worse or decrease the low amount of variety we have

I just want them to use the missile-door button as a "turn Atlas glowy eye on/off".

The Bane/Kraken is notorious for it, given it's 8x15 LRM mounts.

WHAT does that noncockpit eye actually DO anyway?!!

[Elizander]

I'll give up 2 energy slots and 1 missile slot for faster torso movement and a shoulder-mounted ballistic slot.

[Gaussfather]

How about an Atlas with 1 ballistic in each torso and arm and.... jumpjets! lol

[Nightbird]

An atlas with 3-4 Missile points each ST and 1 CT would be useful. Ideally as a hero cuz I don't get non-cbill bonus mechs.
