Of course, but the LPL build is better.

The LL build pushes better and engages effectively at any practical range, the LPL build carries better and 1v1s better.

The other reason I run the LL 2C is because I own a 1G, which absolutely shits out damage at medium-short range with an XL/shield-arm build, so building the 2C to emphasize range and durability makes more sense.

There isn't a good third Battlemaster, unfortunately.

Cool, I'll put some cbills into the coffers tonight so we can get some people back. Unless you removed me, in which case I'll start my own unit which will become really popular and I'll get invited to all the cool MW:O parties and get all the ladies.

Or you could be cool like me and just have your own unit and ask what faction WoL/GIRL are going to be before events and synchronize. Cheaper all around.

Or or you could join [ani] like a super cool dude if you reaaaallly wanted. I bet the invites are really cheap.

Its the right time period but that would be a pretty big shift for mech design if they add that.

The big problem with IS/clan balance is that Clan basically gets to have its XL cake and eat it too: being able to zombie doesn't matter 99% of the time, so the minor disadvantage of being a combat kill once you lose both side torsos (and a heat penalty that matters less once you've inevitably lost a good chunk of your weapons from that same torso loss) is always worth halving the weight of the heaviest thing on your 'mech. If I had total control over the numbers I would reduce the weight discount on clan XLs to reflect that fact, but :pgi: is unfortunately tied to Battletech's already dubiously-balanced equipment stats so they're stuck futzing around with weird kludges to try and make the entire thing somewhat sane.

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
Across on the other side of the map from the buildings on the hill. It's the little spot on the map that looks like a hole in the crystal formations.

The heat penalty for losing a side being doubled from 20% to 40% will level things out a little bit, but not a lot. The thing I'm looking forward to most is snub nosed ppcs, because if those exist and locust 1v is somehow able to keep something resembling its crazy cooldown quirk it will be the most vicious little fucker you can bring out as a ppc carrier.

Another fun gimmick is that it would allow you to smash an XL engine into the KGC0000 with having 4 snub nose ppcs, 2 AC20s w/ 4 tons of ammo, and an XL300, which would make for some really nasty split alpha hits for 40/40 pinpoint damage.

Or the joke option: 6 snub nose PPC boar's head. The nonjoke boar's head would be really great with a light fusion engine available if it functions like the clan version, because it'd be able to pack LPLs, go a decent speed, and survive a side being blown out while keeping 3 LPLs shooting.

The group matchmaker does not use tonnage or tiers if you wait over 240 seconds for a game.
PGI says deal with it:

quote:

If on the other hand you are unsatisfied with the quality of the games, here is what we are going to do.

- Shift back to a maximum group size of 4 or less.
- Each group needs to be created in a 1/1/1/1 fashion.

I am actually okay with that. Fairness of a match makes for a better game and :pgi: needs to own up that they didn't make something of high enough quality to attract enough people for a good fair 12v12.
