| I like internal and external slots or mounts, I think we could use that in our slot system and it would also help out the modeling team.
We haven't decided if we need weight or not as a gameplay mechanic. If a chasis is set in stone with its attributes, I believe the configuration of internal/external slots will be enough to fit our item balance issues.
Lets also not forget that a very real posibility that if your mech gets destroyed then it is gone, as is all of your equipment on it.
You won't respawn with all your shit ready to go, instead you may get put back to your "mobile garage" or something and have to select another mech in your inventory and quickfit its gear and get back out into the field.
Perhaps players can bring X number of mechs with them and there are always basic mechs back at base they can get for free or for a low cost...
Making mechs set in stone, given that, has a whole different meaning when they are expendable. |
