When 8 vs 8 groups are released I think there should be a tonnage limit. As I understand it, there will not be any matching of classes in the premade drops. This gives the opportunity for a normal well rounded group of 8 to be pitted against a group of 8 Assaults I'm only considering how I may far against this, I can honestly tell you I would get pummeled. The sheer amount of firepower would tear up anything. So what if we were to implement a drop limit? I'm not exactly sure of what the number should be but I was thinking around 500-550 Tons. The average weight of 8 mechs, 2 from each class, is 480 Tons. It would really make groups think about what they want their unit to look like. I'm assuming that 8 man premades would be organized enough for this to be implemented without much of a drawback.

Thoughts? Concerns?

A good idea, and it's been considered elsewhere as well. Personally, I'd set the tonnage at 500 to start with.

I think matchmaking would end up quite slow though.

I'd stick with 200, make everyone go Commando. But I'm sadistic like that.
