When you have unlimited ammo, do you want to bring a half ton or no tons?
Do you need the half ton, just to tell the game there is ammo there?

You just need the half ton.

And the last time they ran it< rocket launchers had unlimited ammo too. It was soooooo wrong.

No, you don't need any ammo. It defaults to 9999.

Actually, if you have only 1 weapon type, AC5 for example, it will give you a Red Alert, that you need ammo...
But if you put 1 er small laser on, the Red Alert becomes a Yellow Alert, and it passes.

no need, ive done this before.

This infinite ammo stuff is crazy! Some people armed the mechs to the teeth scoring alphas way above 100 or more!

Yeah...

i kind of think the cd on the rockets need to be cranked up in this mode. in the normal game that doesnt matter because you can only fire once and so the cd value isnt used, but i think something needs to be done to keep infinite ammo events from turning into a rocket arena, or at least make some other options viable, like maximum ballistic boats.

that said i did have fun in rocket launcher arena. its something different at least.

On the plus side, I finally finished the plat 6 event portion for the Archer 5W. 9 rocket launchers with unlimited ammo and no overheat. Goofy.

I have to agree. The rockets thing is fun and it is a change, I dont want to see it totally scrapped its just it takes away from all of the other wacky varied builds that people have been making with the ruleset. Perhaps a dedicated rocket mode seperate from the unlimited ammo mode? Youre kinda self gimping if you dont boat rockets lol. If you cant beat em, join em so they say.

Sounds like a mess.

While the unlimited ammo events were problematic where rocket build are concerned, the light mech events were a blast with seesaw matches often timing out with lots of mechs left. The matches were nicely balanced although the flying LRM mechs were getting annoying towards the end of the event.

Good hunting,

Indeed!

Especially since I don't have the right mechs for boating RLs

Unlimited anything will be broken one way or another. Just give 2x or 3x modifier instead. Rocket launchers with 2x or 3x ammo will be much better but not totally over the top. Same goes for jump jests fuel etc.
