Poll: Different Manufactures Same weapon (351 member(s) have cast votes)

Should same weapons from different manufactuers have different damage stats?

  1. Yes - more variety is good (193 votes [54.99%])

    Percentage of vote: 54.99%

  2. No - too much play balancing required; use one value for all manufacturers (158 votes [45.01%])

    Percentage of vote: 45.01%

If yes to the above question; the difference between damage (values) should be

  1. Minimal (within 5%); no real apparent effect (22 votes [20.75%])

    Percentage of vote: 20.75%

  2. Moderate 5% to 15%; some noticeable effect (32 votes [30.19%])

    Percentage of vote: 30.19%

  3. Distinct 15%+; actual noticeable effect (8 votes [7.55%])

    Percentage of vote: 7.55%

  4. Do not want variety in weapon damage (44 votes [41.51%])

    Percentage of vote: 41.51%

If yes for having different manufactures with different damage;

  1. Should have variety at launch (24 votes [22.64%])

    Percentage of vote: 22.64%

  2. Should have variety 0 - 3 months after launch (20 votes [18.87%])

    Percentage of vote: 18.87%

  3. Should have variety 3+ months after launch (18 votes [16.98%])

    Percentage of vote: 16.98%

  4. Do not want variety in weapon damage (44 votes [41.51%])

    Percentage of vote: 41.51%

honestly, i don´t care much about what´s in the canon description, but about how it´s handled on the field... since this is not gonna be an RPG, where i would lay much weight on the descriptions and all that... and btw..if u have one ac10 that spits out a direct dmg shot, and one ac10 that does kind of DoT, what do u think everybody will use..? a granted 10 dmg on one particular part, or the one with a great chance to spread the dmg and even miss a part of the damage? so i doubt there would be much use for handling weapons differently, if there is the one that´s cool and the one thats not(not exactly my thinking, but i guess many ppl would see it that way)... well...i´d just rather have it simple in a kind..equality for all weapons of one kind is what i´d like to see.. ...my opinion...


I believe that call is neither yours nor mine. People will find uses for weapons no matter what. That being said, different manufacturers allow you personally to maximize your preferred parameters. You like solid single shot damage, well then stick to that special manufacturer that gives you the most benefits. Others may think different and use DoT ballistics to complement other weapons or fill a different role (harassing). Just give it a thought before you dismiss it on principle. There is much to gain for everybody, even for you.

I voted yes because that allows tech progression to be balanced more easily.
Gauss weapons are lostech and should totally outclass ACs, f.Ex?
Well, just allow a worse version for the first few months.^^

;) nah don´t get me wrong, i don´t dismiss it by default... just that i´m saying "let´s stick to the TT rules like they are" doesn´t mean i couldn´t live with a little variety... but in the first place i brought my first comment here, because there are soooo many posts here in the forum, which totally go away from what i wish for this game: BattleTech Reloaded :)
