5-8 is best I think...adding 5 JJ is fine too. 3-5-3 second best. For anything else, I'd need a REAL good reason to have that. _________________ www.210sportsblog.com

5/8 is a good balance point. 45T or less i'll accept 6/9. _________________ one must work hard to cultivate the mind and body. and one must always cultivate the mind.

It annoys people when I say this, but if you're 6-9, don't add 6 jump jets. Add 5. Game mechanically it works better as jumping 5 or 6 generates the same +3, and at the lower weights, you save the half-ton, which might be important. _________________ www.210sportsblog.com

Depends on the purpose.
I tend towards:
3/5: weapons platform.
3/5/5: heavy cavalry
4/6/7: heavy scout
5/8/10: scout/harasser
5/8/5: discount trooper medium
4/6: cost effective heavy
2/3: more extreme weapons platform with budget concerns.
1/2: I'm probably doing something involving playing the BV system.
