Yay, changes that looks mostly decent for once.
Kind of wished the lost -5 FBStructure on Summoner stays on some of the variants like Prime, C, or B's So8 though but whatever, it was pretty silly anyway.

1t sCockpit is a bit annoying but reasonable.
RL changed to being stream rocketpods might be interesting I guess.
MASC Commando losing heat quirk kind of stupid since to overheat on it is pretty much on the target/enemy team's fault at priority for letting it shoot that much with its small lasers.

Spectre buff is cool, though I would've asked for general heat quirk replacing the pulse laser ones instead of +top speed since it flies long enough for the JJ heat to be notable.

Hover Incubus seems kind of whatever.

It is -1 ton, they worded it poorly.

Other than the Arrow becoming that much more fragile again, most of the nerfs are not drastic.

Though I need to do the math on the small cockpit when I get home from work, something is not adding up in head.

Oh.
Well that's just why? Lore accuracy aside, the vehicles with sCockpit in this game are already pretty strong.
Then again it was really just the Warlord before the Hovercubus and now the Blight.

The lore accuracy is in service of opening the door to bringing more, canon variants who have it into the game as they are without rendering their configurations invalid on entry.

If you looked at the rest of the notes..
Warlord and commando D03 got a nerf cause of the change.

The small cockpit adjustment puts it in-line with lore yes, and well, it also enables other stuff that's yet to be revealed. Enjoy.

-and melee...eventually....

[Akamia Terizen]

Yeah... no. I don't think melee is in the cards for MWO. For better or for worse. lol

I'd love to have it, myself, but it really does not seem a realistic prospect for the foreseeable future.

as much as I think RAC might start being kinda decent now I can already see some people that don't twist ranting how they wil be OP after the change (same people that would just stare the RAC down to hold their lock for LRM).

as for rockets... very high hopes, it might stop being a firing weapon (though I sincerely hope You had foresight to prevent clicking more then 8 times a second from being flat-out DPS improvement on them at no downside .

Also... I am not convinced that Jenner-O wil now be less competitive... certainly looks stronger to me to be able to slap these missiles in a tighter pack & that will surely benefit pilots of higher skill over average pilot, + if enemies skimp out on AMS the extended range might make it safer to play
(though then again reverse speed is dictated by max speed I think, so it'd peak back slightly slower)


Huge THANK YOU for artemis ammo fix (now it's in line) - very good and welcome change; Artemis was already bigger & heavier as is, it's nice that it doesn't bring less ammo/ton... I can already see some fun to be had with Artemis 4 and LPPC on some mediums... ammo was little iffy before but now it might work fine .
