I really curious about that never-overheat stuff... Would be lovely to run some PPC-boats with such conditions...

Also: Give us some drop-decked Incursion!
FP tonnage limit would be OK, just like groups of 4+...

For the max heat dissipation modifier, you need to look up HSL groups and heat values with ghost heat. I believe said group cannot exceed 100 heat (?) or you will nuke yourself. So like I think you can fire 4xC-HLL (89.32 heat w/ghost) AND 9xC-ERML (88.9 heat w/ghost) without blowing up (the max possible weapons is 16 anyway. A little more difficult to know if the mech has HSL quirks. Unfortunately, for C-ERPPCs you wouldn’t be able to fire more than three at a time, as four has a ghost heat total of 106.72!

You can reference MechDB for HSL groups and ghost heat values:

you sound like you were whining in the typical manner around here at the forums, or maybe the things you dont like break the game?...sure....hmmmm I do apologize though my bad.

To be fair and logical.... unlimited consumables do actually break the game. Not joking. It's a bad idea.

Can you guys do the scouting game mode?? With or without the Faction sides it doesn't matter

It’s on the front page…

“During the last event, we got many, many requests for Scouting Mode. We hear you, however Scouting Mode is not currently an option in Event Queue. What are the options then? See all of the current match modifiers below. Please use this list when considering suggesting an event.”

Man, if we do end up getting stock, I cant wait to have fun destroying all the trash stock mechs.

I was going to make a post about the domination mode 100 ton assaults. But to add on to this. If there is going to be a Domination 4x4 assault again like last event queue, for the love of god make the timer at least 1:30 min or 2:00. For the reason mentioned below.

Had a couple drops in this mode/style where my team was almost double in kills and everyone died in the wave finally. We got hosed by the dropship timer and the timer ran out before we were able to make it back. 1:00 is wayyy too short for 4v4 100 tonners in Dom mode on bigger maps like caustic. It'd be one thing if the speed was 1.5 or something, but without any....no bueno.

Can we avoid Conquest and Domination games with assault drop decks? Once a team wipes the assaults can't get back to the circle before the match ends. It just doesn't work well.

I'm in favor of more single chassis game modes. The Atlas and Urby modes last time were great. Would love more of those across all weight classes.

I also want Crab Mode.

How I imagine this would go given these modifiers, would be quick fast engagements, about a 4x faster TTK given less armor and faster cooldown, however due to the additional movement speed, positioning and grouping up should be more important. Light mechs hopefully won't be as dangerous as I think due to much less armor and enemies being able to output double the firepower at them. Heavy and Assault mechs should be much more agile but due to the 2X cooldown, run a higher risk of overheating while firing their larger weapons. Combined with the half armor, these targets should be much more easy to kill but also dangerous to face alone.
The idea for this is just pure mayhem!

Why on weekdays? Due to work I wish this was on weekends esp the Centurion matches.

[Luminios]

I think it would be fun to have one round of unlimited ammo + unlimited heat, with some additional armor, so you get to enjoy the insane firepower everyone is throwing around for a bit longer. Unlimited ammo has been very enjoyable, but I think removing the limiter on energy builds as well will lead to even crazier builds running around. Maybe like this:

8v8
Groups 1-2
Drop Deck
285 Max Tonnage
[Map]
Skirmish
100% more armor
Unlimited Ammo
Unlimited Heat Dissipation/No Overheating
3x CBill and XP Rewards

I'm not sure what map would work well for this, as you have both huge alphas as well as insane sustained DPS - I'd say Caustic Valley or Frozen City could be cool

Put patch mechs on sale, pleazse
