I've had a brilliant idea. Let's have a patch that renders ALL weapons useless without target lock. Not just LRMs and SSRMs, but SRMs, Ballistics, Energy weapons - they would all have to have target lock just before and during the hit on the target mech in order for the shot to count as a hit.

Also, lets have the time from weapon to target be exactly the same as it is for the slowest weapon in the game...The one with a rocket engine...The LRM.

This patch would be to separate the skilled from the unskilled, because we all know that using weapons that require lock take no skill. So the skilled amongst us should not be bothered by this change, and be able to maintain their 1000 KDRs. The unskilled - well...they'll pretty much do as they always have done.

I broke the poll.

Would be a nice Eve-online like Method and more Strategical.
But personally i like to Aim a weapon and some Spread on the Laser (after the first 1/4 of the Beam the Lense gots hot)
or PPC A/C's would do the same..

And would make on the Pulse lasers ( they cool down between pulses so no spread) more intresting.

So instead of locking for all Weapons,

Randomized Missfires for Missles and Spread to direct Fire Weapons and no Lock Block...

That would be realy nice. But i don't think that most poeple want this.

i'm trying to figure out if you are being facetious or not... you do know that there are enough polls with leading questions and poor answer options already, right? if that's your point, it is rather hidden (or maybe i'm just too tired... i grant it is possible). if not... do you really think that an incomplete (hence false) choice reflects well on your analysis?

Congrats!

Since it is such a biased poll and labelled as such, I made it anonymous, knowing full well that no hypocrite would admit to being one.

I had to say it due to it was anonymous.

My "analysis". That's rich! I've given up on making common sense arguments. Nobody pays any attention to them. MWO, and all my hopes and dreams for a fitting resurrection of the franchise are going in the c.r.a.p.p.e.r.. Might as well finish with a laugh.
