As the title says. Not sure if this is hotfixable (would think it is), but this would solve a lot of people's complaints with scouts. This is also mentioned several other places, but wanna make sure it at least gets voiced again.
If you have a suit, and put plates with several TIMES it's original weight, it should move slower, relative to a suit which STARTED at several times that suit's weight. In actual numbers, it would work as follows (#'s made-up for illustration and are negotiable)
Complex Plates:
-5%speed penalty/plate on Heavy (Base,Sent or Com)
-8%sp/p on Medium (Base, Ass, Logi)
-12%sp/p on Light (Base, Scout, Pilot [roflmao])
Enhanced:
-4% on Heavy
-6% on Medium
-10% on Light
Basic/MLT:
-3% on Heavy
-5% on Medium
-8% on Light
Scouts wanna armor tank, then there is no amount of Kincats to make up for this. You can do one or the other, but not both, and Heavies will likely never notice the change.
P.S. This is the part where you tell me I'm an idiot, and HTFU, and whatnot. Until I have the flaws in this pointed out, I cannot see why it hasn't been done. Not a Troll thread, I'm actually serious about this. |

So, nobody likes OR hates this idea? Or I guess since it has been put out before, nobody cares. I just still see Scout threads, and figured this could solve issues. I will take the silence to mean nobody cares. I will drop this from now on and only discuss with friends in-game. |

Which, as someone mentioned earlier, is the entire point of this change I'm proposing. So this means it would work perfecly.
To put it in an analogy.....
It would be like strapping 400 lbs onto 2 athletes. #1 is 5'10" and weighs about 135 lbs (think average sized 2nd Baseman) and #2 is about 6'9" and weighs about 285 lbs(think big power forward/offensive lineman). Now I ask you, which should cross the 200m finish line first? (this is assuming that both have the strength to pick up and move said 400 lbs to begin with) And the more you put on, the less likely that 2nd baseman can even move, while you could pile it on the lineman and possibly not notice the weight as rapidly.
I think if you are honest with yourself, it actually does make some sense. My greatest concern is if something like this is even possible anymore or something much more drastic and unnecessary will happen to plates since scouts have abused them to no end (for good reason, it works). |
