With the occasional whisper that some mechs should have these, but don't, and potential of something coming as a replacement like the Partisan, or the Yen Lo Wang... well not the myomer... instead possibly get MASC? Unlikely, but that might be cool. Unless Myomer is on the list as a future development?

I would love to have them as a option like Endo Steel or Ferro Fibrous, but i think they just won't do much in current MWO state - they were mostly a melee feature, and since we are unlikely to get melee combat in MWO in any recent future - TSM wont do that much, they will just make mechs walk like 10% faster. As much as i would love to have TSM, as well as melee system to utilise it in, i think a MASC or a quirk for straight up better speed would be more fitting for current MWO...

An easy approximation of the benefits of TSM could be to have it give mechs a significant passive increase to torso/arm twist/pitch speed and range, fall damage modifier, or stability versus incoming fire perhaps, at the tradeoff cost of some combination of crits/tonnage/heat efficiency/incoming crit change.

Just a fun extra option for those who want it.

Obviously we're never getting melee in MWO, so there's no point dreaming about tieing it to that.

I'm just saying something might... be better than nothing. I'd love my beloved Cent to get that extra little boost to help do some range closing, and other mechs might enjoy it as well. It could be fun to make it a crit slot thing.

I'll tell you though, I'd enjoy if things like MASC were crit slot option tied, even in the mechs that it is in.. instead of tied to a specific slot. That's probably been talked about before, and maybe wasn't popular as an idea.

If MASC were a slot tied option like Ferro and stuff, I think it'd be more viable in mechs that can use it. That's a big commitment for the 100 ton mechs, lol!

A final bump...? Just to add to the MASC addition here. Giving mask a choice weather it's in both torso's, or just one... which I guess could lead to questions... and additional changes. Would MASK still work if part of it was blown off? I think I'd go with an easy no. Maybe give the option to split mask into 2 sections, and choose them... including if you wanted it like in your arm or something. Anyway I'll go back to eating bacon now. Thanks!
