Read it again Chihawk, note the part where I said it has enough heat sinks to fire till the sun goes nova, and a munchy mech is a munchy mech if its' built to exploit a loop hole or abuse things and while it's great to have the perfect mech, I will take one that has flaws over any of the munchy uber mechs any day.

You may think you said those things, but in fact you did not. You clearly said:

Unless you've made some sort of grammatical error, or intended to make your post multiple paragraphs, you've not said what you apparently intended to say. |
with enough heat sinks to fire all it's weapons till the sun goes nova
read that part again...

While I agree that a TC/Pulse combo mech with no heat problems may be considered munchy, a mech by itself with no heat problems is not necessarily munchy. That's a very broad brush you are painting with. If that's the case, then my favorite design, the upgraded Spider, is munchy since I can jump 8, fire both Medium Pulses and never worry about heat. And with that same flawed though process, I'd venture a guess that ~50% of all officially published designs are munchy. |
Could you kindly list 50% of the canon mech that can fire everything, and since it seems to be the energy weapon based mechs, without building up any heat. Let's start with the level one stuff and go forward...

Yes, which does not change the meaning of your post one iota.

If you say so Chihawk. It's clear that no matter what I say about my opinion of pure energy based mechs that have no weakness and have enough heat sinks to fire till the sun goes nova, you won't listen or even consider it a valid point. So you win. You are right and nothing else matters.

If anyone needs proof you're wrong it's this...you'd argue 'til you were blue in the face if you thought you were right.

Why are we limiting this to only energy type mechs? The original post in this thread which lead to my initial statement (which happened to be your post) read "So you like playing with munchkin mechs that build up no heat?"
It did not reference energy type weapons and was a broad statement against ALL mechs that generate no heat.

All I'm saying is that it would be nice if there wasn't such an easy way to unbalance the game.
Do I play with all-energy weapons all the time. No. That would be boring.
I'd like to point out that the original point of this thread wasn't that AC/2's and AC/5's make the game more interesting, or that they're more challenging to use. The point was that they are competitive with energy weapons, in what I took to be a statistics based sense.
I'd also like to point out that I did suggest a way to make the light autocannons more effective, namely, the AC/4 and AC/7 idea.

I've never found any use for the AC/2. I'm sure it's out there. It's just the damage is so minimal and on most terrain, you'll never need the range you get. Now, the AC/5 I have no issue with. While still not a thumper, it at least becomes usable as it currently is.
