I am making this thread to gauge curiosity on whether most would be intrigued by this idea, and if so, I also made a poll ( LINK ).
So what I mean by "Faction Play Dropship Weight Allotment Slots" is that when most of us go into Faction Play we typically bring doubles, triples, and in some cases 4 types of the same mech or of the same mech tonnage.
To bring everyone up to speed, when playing clan you have a dropship tonnage weight cap limit of 250 and Inner Sphere of 245. This encourages many to use 2-4 mechs of the same weight and gameplay can become boring and redundant, even for myself as I have done the same where I have used duplicates.
Now to my suggestion;
If onboard the dropship there was a type of allotment slot, like a single slot space for a 40/45/50/60/etc/etc ton mech, so when a single 40 ton mech is placed onboard the dropship in a dropdeck that slot can no longer be used. This would encourage us to use, with the same tonnage limit as 245 and 250, 1 mech of one weight and most drops and games would be more entertaining.
In simpler terms, if I decide to take a Dire Wolf which is 100 tons, I cannot take a Kodiak or another Dire Wolf because the 100 ton slot is being used.
Thanks everyone. Can't wait to hear your thoughts below.
